I love the true scotsman arguments in this subthread. Defining "hackers" as this or that.

In my opinion, there is no inherent good or bad when it comes to working or not working. Both are ways to lead a life. If that life is good depends on what you expect from it. You can work and work until you drop and be deeply dissatisfied.

I think there are no people who get addicted to psychedelics in the classic sence of addiction. They could get addicted like when you are addicted to a book or a movie. Because the experience was so impactful. But most psychedelics have a

I agree with you on this. This can also be experienced from meditatieve practises and journeys into "spiritual enlightenment". Drugs and mind altering behaviors like meditation are a way of hacking the mind. If you hack stupidly o

This is a very narrow view of what "good" is. If a company dumps barrels full of toxic DDT in the Pacific Ocean causing widespread pollution, but still make a profit for their shareholders; would you still argue they are a good c

This can be true for basically anything: Maybe you own a car. In 10 years time a green authoritarian communist group starts to suspect anybody who owned a car, you are sent to a re-education facility. Maybe you are environmentally conscious

Yes. A bit of make up here or there. You should dive a little bit deeper into the j'accuse. Its quite a brilliant piece. I also like part 3 where he talks about the strange fact that the husband and son died of non-natural causes. I ha

Its interesting that you put so much value on clean streets? My observation is that in many European countries its very uncool to throw trash on the floor outside. People still do it, but its usually done hidden. Also people take offense wh

Socrates: You know, Phaedrus, writing shares a strange feature with painting. The offsprings of painting stand there as if they are alive, but if anyone asks them anything, they remain most solemnly silent. The same is true of written words

Actually, I think these two issues are actually not the cause of the depressions. I think its mainly because people who are constantly on social media are: Not productive Not social Not fun. I think its mostly loneliness. I see groups af gi

Yes, read the other talking points this applause cow for conservative viewpoints is peddling. It has nothing to do with thinking for himself and everything with jumping the bandwagon.

You know, being compassionate usually feels better than feeling right. Being right also gets you less far in life. Just a little life lesson I learned the hard way after 40 years of "being right". I used to make comments like this

It is one thing to say that there is height variation, which is clear to anyone and easily empirically tested. However, saying that the quality of someone's height is attributable to genetics, diet, diet of the mother during pregnancy,

Oh! could you elaborate on this? To me even the name "business cycle" hints towards a cyclical/periodical movement. Sinusoids are not exponentials, sinusoids are periodical. They seem exponential for a short while though. The

We cant fix that because our economic system is rigged against black people. They are kicked down and are forced to fight each other for scraps. The same rigging benefits you (probably) and thus you cannot think of a solution. This rigging

Decentralised systems have a horrible truth: they tend not to optimize for the problem they are set up for but for the thing that creates the greatest feedback loop. In case of a healthcare system inside a capitalist society, the system wil
