I think it's sad, given how smart he is, that he is unaware of this dark side of connection and being connected and of facebook in general. So he's either to wrapped up in himself to realise, or at least acknowledge the dark side

I don't give advice but I just want to say this to a fellow man. Be very careful reading too much into what a woman says in these contexts. What's really conclusive is what she does. She might say she wants this, this, that. Don&#

I've been on the side that's for automation, for technology, for progress. But I think it's getting way out of hand, way too fast. Those who are smart have their own biases, and shortsightedness. Because you're smart, yo

Thank you. I use the grayscale option on my Android Phone. I have to say, with the exception of reading on it, everything else is boring as fuck, which is great. Everything around seems so much more colorful than that device. I'd like

My story is ridiculously similar to yours, thank you for mentioning this alternative to existing dental practices, which don't account for the orchestra that is the tongue, teeth and jaw etc.

I understand your skepticism. But you should start with the orthotropics youtube channel. Obviously, not an unbiased source of information. But it's a start from which you can at least critically evaluate what they say. Another thing t

It's great what their trying to do. But if we can't talk about the fact that sometimes we don't even need technology around us is worrying. E.g. Sometimes you don't have to be on facebook, you shouldn't be on facebo

Just what we needed, more human interventionism. I mean, I get what she's trying to do, but we don't know the second order effects. But given human nature, we can predict to some extent what's going to happen. Another behavio

If they enforce it the same way porn websites enforce age restrictions(average age of first porn video use is 11 years)... then it's another case of looking a way at the harm they do while they praise the benefits.

What I'd really encourage people is to try acting classes. It's a weird form of therapy whereas the focus is not you, as when you go to a therapist, but inadvertently the things you do there work on yourself. Here's an excerp

Pair this with Taleb's views on globalism, and how it enables this kind of interconnected environment, that doesn't leave much room for error. And if an error happens, it's going to be systemic.

"pretty much everyone on the planet drinks Coca Cola" should be a good indicator not to drink it. I think we as humans are worth enough to know what goes in our drinks and in how much quantity. If not, then the company is not wort

Precautionary principle. When we are taking supplements, we are really playing the odds. And the odds are that there will be side effects. What side effects and how many people will be affected is the question. That's because it's

It's great to see this in the Guardian. I use some of these publications as a litmus test for when a concept has finally gained broad appeal.

It's great that our bodies have this mechanism to reject this artificial progress, the kind that is so fast we can't even get accustomed to it. There is so much, SO MUCH, to do, to see outside our black mirrors, that we don't

I see they have some instructions there for how they did it. Any chance anyone could make a small instructive tutorial, so we can start replicating this process for other apps as well? Then we can put everything in a giant repo and make it

It's amazing it took so long to get here. Obviously less smart people like myself, figure this out on our own. My brain doesn't have a lot of processing power, and I always try to shorten the feedback loop between what I write and
