   Alcohol, especially beer is a real exacerbator for me. Try a temporary elimination diet like whole30.com. You'll be able to establish a baseline of how you feel with everything cut out then selectively add foods back in and see which

   Its super common for people to dump a bunch of water weight after cutting inflammatory foods from their diet. Inflammation is, in part, water retention in that area.

   The point of whole 30 is to eliminate everything and see how you feel. After 30 days you add things back in one by one. Think of it as an experimental control.

   I was a shitty startup founder in my 20s. Despite my failings all of my employees went on to be incredibly successful. The chaos and hustle is an invaluable education.

   Said another way: I used to consider my own thinking very postmodern. I ran into limitations and adopted new modes of thinking that are different than the ones I previously called postmodern. So even though you may still call my current m

    I can see how you interpret postmodernism that way. I don't disagree with it. But I observe a practical ceiling on most postmodern thought because our postmodern institutions, such as liberal colleges, don't bring people to that

    I think David might cry if you interpreted his writing as postmodern. He quite explicitly critiques the developmental dead-ends of postmodernism. I can't do his ideas justice, but the path of postmodernism is essentially a form of nih

    A good post of David's to start with is "Developing Ethical, Social, and Cognitive Competence": https://vividness.live/2015/10/12/developing-ethical-social-...

    You misunderstand the metaphor. The batteries scene was about the Matrix as a system of control for harnessing human cognitive output - the Matrix is just a proxy for "The Man" in our world. The entire third movie is about contr

    It all depends on the specific problem. Are the patterns simple and strong or complicated and subtle?

    I taught myself to code - I wouldn't say that kind of education is in short supply.

    I don't know what half of these conferences are. A brief description for each would be helpful.

    People have downvoted my comment which was a simple factual statement. Just because data doesn't fit ones narrative doesn't mean you should reject the data.

    For most people, meaning has a lot to do with value creation. Corporations are institutions for value creation. If most people were equipped to create value on their own we'd see a lot more entrepreneurs. Don't get me wrong, I t

    So few men vocalize this fear. I lost a brother-in-law to suicide because of this. Thank you for sharing this.

    This is the big missing piece with basic income: People need meaning in their lives as much as they need money.

    Awesome. Now we just need to integrate upwork with our IDE so I can just write the method signature and a bid price and my method will be magically implemented.

    I like to define "evil" as a cause whose effects compound negatively toward human wellbeing. so I think their use of "evil" is fine.

    and the macro-nutrient focused approach of the last decades is scientistic fallacy. Mindfully listening to the body will lead to better adaptation than formulaic consumption.

    I agree with what you're saying about the scientific method being a useful tool for discovering repeatable cause and effect. I'm simply trying (and failing) to offer a perspective that possibly nothing occurs outside of personal s
