Maybe it could be a boon to the sentinel program in the same way as the current administration strengthened the European defense posture, by weakening our own. If that happens it could actually be good, because America military will no doub

Toxic people and environments are not uncommon. It sounds like you’ve not experienced that too much, which is good. But there are sociopaths, liars, ladder climbers, manipulators, narcissists, and lots of other imperfect people who care mor

Good advice. Psychological transference is a closely related term. But it’s easy to take that framework too far and eventually get to where you blame things like schizophrenia or ptsd on the mothers. People who grew up in shitty families pr

I don’t think enormous fraud has been uncovered. The argument, I don’t buy personally, is that the only way to reform such a beast is to kill it and start over with a totally new entity. Other than thousands of deaths now and downstream geo

OMB got hacked years ago by the Chinese. Access to our systems and data by Xi/Putin is very pre-DOGE. Maybe they made it less secure, say from not very secure to super not very secure. I’d be willing to believe that, but the claimant h

Biden credited the inflation to Putin, claiming that 70% was due to Putin’s price hikes. That was not entirely true. Trump’s pandemic spending (lockdowns, vaccines…), and subsequently Biden’s, but most importantly the curiously named Inflat

You can’t build a business on scaling out the hiring 1000s of AI experts. You only need so many, which is why they get higher salaries. There will never be an infosys or tata for such workers like there was for many of us mere coders. Infos

If I am drunk, or have brain damage, my ideas will be bad and so is my writing. It’s not about what makes writing good. It’s about what makes it bad. People don’t agree on good writing. I think Paul is talking more about not bad writing.

Are you becoming dependent? Everything that helps also hurts, psychologically speaking. For example benzodiazepines in the long run are harmful. Or the opposite, insight therapy, which involves some amount of pain in the near term in order
