I find myself really inspired by the work The Consilience Project and a few other people are putting out about sensemaking, consensus building, and maybe generally empathy. I've started to feel that it might be my answer to "The H

I went trail running in Georgia several years ago and came within a few inches of running into one on its web that blocked the whole trail. I know now from the article that they're harmless, but as a mild arachnophobe the experience wa

I think about this a lot from the point of view of economic fairness and wealth inequality. You have a higher probability of being rich if your ancestors "owned the land" first. Similarly, you have a higher probability of being ri

My SE suffers, too. I find myself having to charge it twice a day — overnight, and then a top up at work.

Newspapers were information and entertainment to many; the eyeballs coming for the latter subsidized the former. They lost the entertainment eyeballs -- now what happens to those who need reliable information? This article is decrying the o

Is the next step in the evolution of programming having the programmer become the specifier? Fuzzy business requirements -> programmer specifies and writes tests -> AI codes

I share this criticism. It's almost like you have to scream at people that although correlation doesn't imply _direct_ causation, it most certainly does imply some causal chain. Ruling out chance through significance and power, wh

This is exactly right, and what the original comment was describing I believe. Although I wonder if the subject is muddied as the adjective may be applied to the wrong noun. Their _skepticism_ is likely genuine and sincere, but their _engag
