Put your phone down, put your laptop down. Go to the park without your devices and lay on the grass under a tree. Hear the sound of trees. The smell of nature. Feel the sun warming your face. You mind will trick you, convince you "your

I would argue that purpose death is a normal step towards enlightenment and it was only the fierce, unrelenting, all consuming drive of capitalism in the western world over the last 4 or 5 generations that have pushed everyone to define the

Is it just me or does the design of the iPhone Duo look terrible with those big rounded corners? You know how children's toys have big soft rounded corners and overly colored glossy finishes? It feels to me like the iphone has become &

> In my experience, work, even when meaningful, is quite separate from self actualization. I guess it depends on your temperament - I am very very high in industriousness and moderately high in curiosity, but the industriousness override

Because in that situation you still have to interact with humans in customers, governments, other companies, investors and all the other places?

I am firmly realistic on the overhyped nature of AI, but which discoveries in the last 100 years are not "a composition of solutions humans have developed and documented elsewhere" ? Is that basically every new discovery? And unde

The lawn mower is operating within the laws that constraints it (laws of physics in this case) and not a greater sense of morality. Lessons: - The only way to constrain what the lawnmower does, is make sure what do desire is enforced by law
