Although I admire a lot of the work that Greta has done. I think she has failed as an activist in that she's not really encouraged people to dream as much as she's encouraged people to sulk and be angry. I think we need to start t

I guess you haven't really engaged with the climate change speech that people like Greta advocate for? I don't think anyone that's serious about climate change really argues that people should become vegan, of course, it woul

Meta has gone from a social media company to some kind of videogame company which really requires a completely different set of skills. I think mostly it is the "bad" skills that are translatable from one to the other: engagement,

Of course they're always product managers or some kind of managerial position. I've been thinking myself of becoming a manager as it seems like the best path to rack in promotions and good money without actually doing much work, I

Hm. That's a very good question. I haven't kept up with neurobiology research but I imagine as long as the same neurons keep their connections to the same other neurons then it would be possible for them to keep performing the tas

Someone might have a good analysis of the problem but being incapable of coming up with an appropriate solution to it. These are definitely two different skillsets. Imo a lot of what Kaczynski says is actually very well thought out and ther

But how many of the earlier societies had thousands of years of experience to look back to? Wouldn't you say in a society where we're capable of talking to anyone anywhere in the world at any moment we'd be able to at least t

Well I would guess some people think that living in society means you are always, as a new generation, building on top of what the previous one did. So it is fair that when they can't work anymore we use part of the surplus of producti

Here's the thing chief: I'd rather go to the office than use the metaverse to work. And I really don't want to go to the office. When I see this space, I actually think Roblox and Fortnite are doing a much, much better job at

As much as economists hate to say it, economics is a social science. Sure, it's the pretty sister of the social sciences but at the end of the day it can't ignore people's behaviours and with this comes a lot of unpredictabil

I find odd when people critique tiktok for having some kind of content when it is clear that's what the algorithm has given them or other times they maybe use the app for a couple minutes and never really get to a personalised stage.

I think a better approach would be to make an experiment and set people at different times (say 3, 5, 10, 30 years) and see how they compare. Maybe a 3 year trial is enough to draw certain types of conclusions but not others. In any case, m

This is a little unrelated but I much prefer the style of illustrations and decorations in this website (and others that are similar) than the deformed and purple coloured people from Alegria or whatever it was called.
