I think the issue people are not acknowledging is that social media and apps and phones are addictive because they are fun . People are addicted to having fun, and to outlaw the addiction is to literally make fun illegal. Let me take half

In my humble opinion, money is a distraction most of the time when trying to understand economic matters. Instead it's better to take opposite view: looking at the flow of goods and services. AI will allow higher production of goods an

When trying to look infer people's motives don't just look at what they are doing. Look also at what they aren't doing. Alternatives they had and rejected. If marketing it was the sole objective there are many other stories t

I feel like there is a lot of waste in packaging specifically. Like way, way more colorful plastic polymers go into the trash way faster making products look appealing on the shelf than from clothing. Don't have the numbers to back it

I've thought about this possibility but come to reject it. If mind-matter interactions did not exist, then matter could not detect the presence of mind. And if the brain cannot detect the mind then we wouldn't be able to talk or w
