The best analogy I've heard is, "Imagine you spent $1,000 for a painting. Now, instead, imagine you spent $1,000 to buy the receipt."

Yeah. I've had several convos with my health store owner about this. She told me she's found herself stocking up a lot lately because of the increased popularity and COVID misinformation-motivated stocking changes on Amazon.

I noticed a difference on day one. I'll note that I also take l-glutamine to further the effect on the system I'm targeting. You'd also want a molybdenum and selenium source because NAC uses them up. The effect is not dramati

No, that's a smart question because MSG is so prevalent in our food. You'd have to ingest a lot of MSG to make an impact on glutamate levels, which would then affect GABA, which then affects ADHD symptoms. https://www.k

"You can't outwork your problems anymore." In a managerial role, this was the hardest lesson for me to learn, and I doubt my mind ever really learned it. Basically, my urge to automate everything hit a short ceiling for manag

I'm honestly surprised I've never heard of litigation gambling. Considering your comment, it definitely seems like a horrible idea, so I'm not a proponent. My surprise is due to the fact that the degeneracy of the internet kn

It has to do with the glutamine-glutamate system, glutathione, GABA and dopamine. There are various possible etiologies for ADHD, but I'm lucky this is one path I discovered that actually helped me. It also explains why Adderall and We

I hesitated to mention the specific supplement for that reason, but maybe it will help someone. Apparently, the glutamate-glutamine system is implicated in psychiatric problems. Through my research I found that GABA deficiencies can cause A

Wow. That was much darker than I expected. That ending probably would have made my generation several notches more cynical. Throughout my career, the original ending has literally sustained my hope in the face of soul crushing office work.

I wonder if there's a litigation betting market. I know there's prediction markets, but I'm wondering about a community dedicated to market making on any/all lawsuits.

One of my "executive function" problems is that I get overwhelmed when I think about things I need to do. I noticed that a sort of movie starts playing in my head of how to accomplish the task, i.e. the steps entailed, resources n

This is one of the best thumbnails I've seen. It's evocative of Garbage Pail Kids and seems satirical, in the spirit of your complaint.

Wouldn't regulations be easier to enforce on agents and organizations instead of individuals?

I'm not advocating for outlawing the tech. I'm doing my part to hopefully make at least one person have a second critical look. "Web3" is nothing like email. Email creates value as a communication medium. NFTs transfer w

In this context, web3 looks more attractive. Too bad its formative moments are being steered by scammers selling jpegs of stick figure drawings.

I always thought crowd sourced ratings was one of the killer apps of the internet. That's what makes Airbnb possible, what made darknet markets successful, what makes Amazon powerful... Throwing away ratings is like going into the wood

I imagine founts of sense experience, each a node with a stream of information reaching the brain. Taste, touch, etc each are streams that meet at the brain, are filtered, interpreted then digested. The brain has some emergent sense streams

One area that is a "knowledge wild west" is managerial and executive decision making. Apparently, people are expected to figure out how to handle an incalculable amount of business situations through osmosis or intuition. My move

I was being sincere. Sarcasm doesn't play well here, beyond even the standard problems of written communication. I thought maybe post deduplication "expires", and links are let through for discussion again x-weeks later. I al

On iOS Chrome, the registration page gives me a "Can't open this page" error. It's like when you run out of memory, but it's the only page affected.

Maybe there should be a tool that shows or aggregates related discussions onto one page...

I use iOS shortcuts to add custom things to my share menu. For example, I have one to search meta.org, one to create a to do, etc. The cool thing is that it even works on selected text. I couldn't check to see the feasibility of doing

I think they meant that Substack is about giving people the tools to do the niche stuff. It's not doing niche stuff itself.

Holy crap. Thank you for this. Not only the math reference, but the great examples of knowledge visualization. It's something I've been obsessing over recently.
