There's a sense in which it makes sense: Step 1: Invent a bunch of tech, however you can, but don't publish yet. Step 2: Dribble out upgrades on a regular cadence, to keep the customers buying.

Flywheels are only high speed when they are not doing any work. As soon as they start doing work, they slow down. Flywheels are different from positive feedback loops, which is what people usually mean when they talk about flywheels. A flyw

If you knew the answer, why did you ask the question?

Computing Fibonacci numbers iteratively is only slightly less absurd. It's `O(n)` for what should be an `O(log(n))` problem (`fib(n) = round ((phi^n - phi^-n)/(2phi-1))`).

Most tricks have a very short explanation. Something is just a fake prop. A hidden breathing tube in the water. The camera is upside down. The nails are popped up from the table, not shot from the gun. The selected card is forced by sleight

This shows the difference between being "bright" and being "logical". Or being "wise" vs "intelligent". Being very good at an arbitary specific game isn't the same as being smart. Prrendit that t

Even better, never fix anything, live in squalor, and be happy that you could have a better life if you worked harder.

I don't see why driving in a car is a better place to talk than fixing the sink.

This is the main annoyance I had that turned me off this theory. Not playing a game may be technically "losing" the game, but empathizing that part gives the game undue importance in the big picture, instead of looking for what ac

You have to define "social skills" in a more specific but non tautological way for this argument to carry weight.

A more natural way to say it is that equality requires that the unit of length is the length of an arbitrary pendulum and the unit of time is the half-period of the same pendulum. The pendulum is a device that relates pi to gravity.

The "magic" doesn't disappear in "any" other units. Period = 2π√(length/g) So the "magic" holds in any units where the unit of time is the period of a pendulum with unit length.

Meter, second, and kilogram were all chosen to be approximately the scale of a human, and the combined multiplicative units like Pascal, m^3, and Kelvin/Celsius are also numerically 1 in these units.
