The initial sentiment was not discussing the details in which people are normal or abnormal, but the aggregate understanding of what a "normal person" might be. You can't say everyone is abnormal, it becomes a meaningless bas

Some places would also love to get the people they lay off back, at some point in the future. I believe Salesforce did this. Obviously the company matters and each one will have their own stipulations.

Nothing wrong with this, family ties can be ripe with abuse... free loading, mental abuse, etc... For many people keeping a level playing field is the only way to keep the bullshit out, although I doubt anyone manages to get rid of all of i

You are misunderstanding. I am not saying that valuing family is not normal, I am saying that because a person does not do so, given certain circumstances, does not make them abnormal. Family is a part of someone's life, and if you c

I get where this sentiment is coming from, I wouldn’t put “normal people” at the start of it. Families are very complex and many normal people do not have normal relationships with any number of those people in their family, and the value

Wow 450 hours! I bet you learned a ton about all the different layers that went into this project, good for you on the undertaking. You’re probably on the right track here, the execution may need a few more iterations. Ultimately if you ave

What is uninteresting is your weak spine in succumbing to "societal inertia", without considering what is possibly good or bad, just what is. You clearly don't know what you're describing because you're just flip fl

Why the strawman? Your claim of the average person not liking to read and what we are actually discussing of reading/writing being a good form of communication are two different things. Plenty of people like lots of bad things becaus

It literally matters that people fight that urge. It almost never takes a majority to turn the tide of a movement(and I am not advocating for any extremes). There needs to be some kind of balance. If a parent is "forcing" their ch

" I don't actually think reading is a great way of communication, it's more just evolutionarily fit compared to speech." This is a very baffling thing to say. Its like saying "I don't think fish gills are an ef

Why would it not matter? You think just because a mass group prefers one thing, it will have good outcomes? Will/are your kids glued to screens 24/7 because others prefer it? Seems like you may be a lost cause already. And maybe

It also creates a world of nearly unlimited consumption, and the majority of the userbase is on the consumption side, not the publishing side.

You're missing the forest for the trees. I don't want to download a bunch of crap so that I can avoid seeing other crap. Eventually the providers will find a way around the crap I installed with more crap, you get the idea. It is

I just don't think the idea that we don't have spare time is true. People prove that they have time to spend ample amounts of time on the big social apps. The truth is that it is much easier to check out and scroll mindlessly for

Not only has the content become fairly centralized, many of the sites that you might go to find things like...recipes, or guides, or direction on something...are absolutely littered with ads. It is no trivial task to scroll through these

I feel like 'radically' reworking anything is a great first step in increasing errors while the new processes get ingrained. There needs to a measured and meticulous approach to reworking ATC if it is to happen.

You can creatively destroy things as well. It’s kind of pedantic to say that creating in the mind does not count as “creating”, just imagining. What about solving abstract problems?

Atlanta as a metropolitan area should not be used to set a bar for walkability. It is a massive city. Instead, one should take neighborhoods and start there. Atlanta certainly has walkable neighborhoods, what it lacks is efficient infrastru

Novel work can often be accomplished by taking two existing methods and implementing parts of both, it doesn't have to be a eureka moment that stems from nothing. In this case, seeing what went wrong in one experiment, seeing what went

Yeah, its kind of a chicken and the egg problem: more foot traffic can incentivize better infrastructure, and better infrastructure can incentivize more foot traffic. But which one should come first? Is the "build it and they will come

I won't go as far as to say Atlanta is commuter friendly, but the past decade has seen lots of improvements in greenway construction, the expansion of the beltline, connecting different parts of the city. I hope it keeps going that dir

As much as I would love to believe in that future, it is a pipe dream in America at least. So little of the infrastructure I see going up is around any of those other forms of travel. Building sidewalks and bike lanes is not a sexy proposit

I mean I can do mental gymnastics to understand the sentiment, but it really just comes down to individual preferences and definition of "use". To me, the usefulness of everything is in constant flux, and that's kind of cool

“All data in of itself is useless”…what does that even mean? That’s like saying a chair in of itself is useless because no one is sitting in it. And this could be extrapolated to saying everything is useless. Data’s usefulness stems first f
