GP may be referring to the idea that language is innate like an organ in the body/brain. The Kingdom of Speech by Tom Wolfe is a great read exploring Chomsky and other thinkers in this realm. It would have been great to see what he tho

This feels off, as if thinking were like chess and the game is now solved and over. What if you could turn your attention to much bigger things than you ever imagined before? What if you could use this new superpower to think more not less,

Would this not reveal every importer's gross margin to its competitors? The tariff is only on the importer's "landed cost". If the tariff is itemized(and not just a made up number by the seller), then you can easily work

I am trying to follow this... if a grant is the same $1M and Bozo University gets to spend all million on the actual research at hand, but UCSF only gets 200K, how is UCSF more efficient? Wouldn't the LN2 be traceable to the project ei

I'm not sure I meant to take a mantle as RFK's personal champion, but my _hope_ comes from hearing his points on prevention and improving the quality of the food supply. The incentives of both the healthcare and food industries in

I think these are good reasons why our fiscal picture is not hopeless, but not good arguments agains improving our efficiency: 1. Thank you for linking that graph, it seems to show that our spending is 25% higher than it was in the 1970s as

I think you're on a reasonable track, but this isn't the whole picture. Most international treasury demand is the direct result of trade deficits in dollars. If you are a bank (or in aggregate a country full of banks) that takes i

I think you're right at the edge of explaining why this "laziness" is a good thing. Everything that we have made is built on what we had before, and abstracts away what we had before. 99% of us don't remember how to make

I like the idea of fighting addiction, but it can't be law-based. For example, I find chess to be addictive, is that evil? What action shall we take against it?
