You're perpetuating a dichotomy here, the same dichotomy that produces parasitic industrialization. Humans are a part of nature, and we are fully capable of living in symbiosis with other creatures and ecosystems. Please keep your mind

Edit: tldr, Julia could use something with the ease of use and functionality of docs.rs, but built especially with Julia's typesystem in mind. So after thinking about this, I think there are two things going on here. 1) it's actua

I really like Julia, and also get the sense that the community is a little young and unsettled in some ways. The biggest way I've seen this manifest is in terms of a total lack of decent documentation for reputable, well known project

I guess mean arbitrary in the sense that being born as a human is kinda arbitrary, in the sense that individual human perspectives themselves are arbitrary amongst the vast range of possible ways to experience or perceive, both human and be

I'm personally convinced at this point that most everyday distinctions between living and dead are arbitrary human categorizations. Even a "dead body" is teaming with life. As far as "inanimate matter" is concerned,

The author is way out of touch. Jacob Frey actually embodies a lot of the ruthless values the author implicitly calls for, and it's not good. If anything, ranked choice has been best for electing moderate centrists who know how to pret

Trees take a lot of water to grow but they also hold water and share it through the air and ground with other plants and with other creatures in the form of transpired water vapor.

This reminds me of Pijul and Darcs, which are patch based VCS's, although I'm not sure that's quite what the author of this article has in mind.

Interesting... my friend and I were just talking about racialized inbreeding in people, the sort of thing people do (consciously or otherwise) to give their offspring social privilege in some racial dominance hierarchy. It strikes me as si

Absolutely! 5g is another area where this is happening. If you read literal industry whitepapers and peer reviewed articles about mm wave antenna arrays, the biometric sensing applications and corresponding privacy concerns are quite litera

It's interesting to compare this to something like Circles UBI... they're very similar in some ways, except in Circles everyone's personal currency is given equal value, enforced by a social web of trust kinda thing. (The URL

I had headaches for like two weeks after my second Pfizer shot. I drank plenty of water and was getting electrolytes, so I'm guessing it was a side effect.

I can understand peoples' frustration with the artificial scarcity, but would like to see this same energy over the artificial scarcity of housing and free time. The oligopoly of national money systems is currently failing to provide p

Think of the obscene amounts of pressure people face when "hustling" to pay rent. It burns people out and pushes them to sacrifice. All because of concentrated purchasing power and artificially scarcity of time and housing. Hustli

Thank you! There's lots of evidence that living beings of all kinds actually feel compelled to reproduce _more_ when faced with stressful selective pressures. We don't have a population problem, we have a crisis in greed and hype
