AuDHD is a thing (in the sense of being a term in neurodiversity spaces, not in the sense of being recognized as a diagnosis) but generally the consensus seems to be that while there may be an overlap in symptoms presenting in people with A

Web3 is more than that because some people genuinely thought the future was running actual code on the blockchain and using that as part of the backend. Of course that works reasonably well as long as your code is terse, straightforward, tr

Same with ADHD. People with ADHD often experience social friction because they may be perceived as rude or bad listeners. Plus of course there's significant overlap between people with ADHD and autistic people (as well as an overlap in

You're still assuming having a "primary goal" means one's actions have to be aligned with achieving that goal. I didn't say "making mankind an interplanetary species" isn't his primary goal , I said

I don't know about that. China seems to have found a middle ground that allows for a pretense of exploratory and associative free-will ("special economic zones", China even has billionaires) with people in reality being one w

Sure but those hypotheticals are just poorly thought out ways to visualize the imbalance. Another way to do it would be saying "Jeff Bezos has 300 billion dollars, that is 300 thousand millions. There are 300 million people in America,

Well, it's not really a "map of history", it's more of a historical map. It's useful, sure, but there's more to history than borders, battles, rulers and famous people.

It's a logical evolution of how emotional labor is used in the business world. We pay service and hospitality workers not only to literally do what their job description says but also to be nice to people, keep them engaged and create

Sure but people rarely write manifestos. That said, apparently his manifesto is fairly short and honestly sounds more like a confession than an actual political manifesto. My point is more that usually when you hear about a killer having a

Yeah, that's why I'm pointing it out. It's like the police is trying to oversell their investigative work in the public image, which strongly suggests that they had very little hand in actually catching him and now try to com

That was my point. It's an evocative image if you don't think about it too long but if you've ever seen one it's no different from any other fast food place. Unless you're a frequent customer, you're probably n

But some billionaire did a TED talk where he said that the global poverty rate has been constantly declining, which is true, even if it is not meaningful if you remove it from the real-world context of purchasing power, social safety nets,

It's not just about exposure to other people. It's also about facilitating genuine human connections. Japan's work culture is detrimental to life outside the workplace but the cultural problems extend far beyond that. It shou

Oh, it's not just Ivy League although of course that usually comes with a background of privilege and prestige that further compounds on this tendency. STEM people in general heavily demonstrate this tendency. MBA types too, although t

He's definitely fitting the cliché of "STEM graduate who thinks they have all the answers to social problems without reading any previous works on the subject". E.g. he thinks Japan's cultural problems are a bigger issue

It seems far more likely to be a case of incompetence. Law enforcement actually has an extremely low rate of "solving" cases, especially if you exclude all the "solved" cases where the suspect is caught on scene or that

Popular crime shows like CSI (and arguably detective novels even before that) have created a false impression that forensics are an exact science that can perfectly narrow down the list of suspects to the exact person who did it. But of cou

The first step is data minimization. The second step is informed and revokable consent. Everything else follows from there. Do targeted ads increase the amount of personal data that needs to be stored and processed and the number of entitie
