Involution? The low-res versions of these concepts are as old as recorded thought. Maybe I don't grasp your assertion. What do you propose is the mistake? And did the author propose a remedy, other than 'alchemy'?

My book reading habits skyrocketed in my early 20s when I became obsessed with media studies. I only read classical fiction, if that, and your comment threw me well off until I remembered the kinds of books I see on the shelves in airports

I am not in disagreement of any your points. But, it’s worth mentioning that, while I don’t know the reason why this is, books will no longer make you fall asleep if you practice reading them regularly. Tiredness will still have the expec

Something brought Facebook Groups to a period of gradual decline and I haven’t forgiven them for it. Even more frustrating is I cannot put a finger on what changed them, but it seems the ones I liked a lot all just got bigger? Or, they feel

I love reading and hearing from people who have pursued these philosophical interface ideals. They have accomplished some great things and I think it’s undeniable that they are exploring a vast area of unknown. I wish they could generally b

I do this too, for similar reasons. I just like to keep working when I'm on a roll. I'm always looking for research on it and never really find anything.

Be careful with the term ‘empathy’. The contemporary use of this word (reflected in your definition) conflates a few different concepts in a potentially confusing manner. An ability to predict how others feel can be used, to put it simply,

I think that’s an extreme minority, and the benefit would be limited. The notion of sides in political media deteriorates the conversation into an argument, which at some point undermines an audience’s fundamental awareness and understand

The answer is fairly simple. Media companies compete in ‘access capital’, which they earn through cooperation and partnership with entities they report on, such as government and private interests. Anyone who has worked in media will assure

Yeah good question. I didn’t elaborate very well on that. The inefficiencies come about in transactions by separate parties. I am no expert on how Ticketmaster works, but I will use an event ticket as an example. If customer(a) buys a ticke

Makes sense. But, I think it’s important to consider that if a ledger is not decentralized, it may be immutable, but it’s immutability is not verifiable by all parties.

In the least, it should be useful in some non-paradigm-shifting, more obvious applications like concert ticket sales (see TIX) and date-stamping of journalism and public records (see PO.ET). I’m interested if anyone disagrees. If a blockcha

To be any good they just are one and the same. I really don't say it to be obnoxious. And I don't necessarily disagree with you, but I think stating it as such overlooks some important details. One one hand, your theory offers a f

You're not alone. Public speaking is no problem for me, as it cuts out the middle man, or, the medium. Another comment points to the typos in this article in devaluing the author, while I secretly admire him for letting them slide. My

Thanks. OK. This gave me a good outline. These ideas were somewhat right under my nose, in some of the Python concepts like closures and decorators. I don't know the languages here quite the same but the possibilities are convincing no

Overall, I think your point is well-made. The SSH capabilities are something like tone-deaf considering the market. But, I'll answer who the camera is supposed to be for. It's for me, and other nofilmschool.com readers. But, I&#

I think your point is good, and I would restate my assertion. As trivia without context, it’s useless, I agree. Knowing what a capital is and how to find the name when needed is important. But, history is much more important. I never memori
