You've said this repeatedly, but it is largely not true.

Except it's not like Chesterton's fence, it was created at the edge of living memory for known reasons. If anything it's an example of the opposite effect, something like Chesterton's field, do we really need to build a

this is implicitly an is-ought question and it is pedagogically necessary to give an unsatisfying answer. you can watch the interview with feynman answering "why do two objects attract" for the best version. The top answer selects

I know you probably didn't mean it that way - but people with aphantasia are often very creative, and visionary despite.

From the perspective of someone with some experience in consumer advocacy via the EU is that SKG did not do this the right way, or at least the right way right now. The EU expects radical compromise. The right starting point for SKG was to

Huh weird. When I have a high fever, usually from the flu, sometimes I start to hallucinate. The typical hallucination is lots of "little people", usually doing something I don't like. I wonder if it triggers a similar part o

$135M a day is almost nothing (~$50b/yr) for an area with combined GDP of ~$30T. Edit: People's general understanding of the scale of economies is genuinely terrifying to witness.

Did you read it? I can see how you can come to this conclusion devoid of context. This is actually a topical article - mainly because it is a surprise to many that a toilet company could be one of the biggest winners in the AI pick-and-shov

The writing is a joy and the context is useful. Hardly buried.

This very much overstates the certainty of the scientists in the outcome of the explosion. They could be pretty certain it would work - but they were not at all certain about the result of producing energy, pressures, temperature and forces

I think a correlation matrix would have been a more suitable general representation for identifying interesting voting characteristics between countries. Then this analysis (and any others you want to do) just drops right out of a dot produ

Actually this is the shocking part - it actually is enough to move the needle. Incidents of young people with cancer is small so a 100% increase can be driven by a small absolute number of patients. There has been an absolutely enormous i

I respectfully disagree, this was a commonly cited technique for measuring microplastics, which is why it calls into question many studies. Thanks for calling me weird :) I guess the suggestion though is I'm paid by big plastic or some

I agree that there is not evidence to "not worry", but many explicit worries are being accounted for. Also - in terms of human tissue: "The problem is that some small molecules in the fumes derived from polyethylene and PVC c

There is growing evidence that there is much less to worry about on microplastics on several fronts. 1. A whole cohort of core studies have been judged to have invalid methodology due to not recording baseline microplastic levels ( https:&#

I'm not sure what you are trying to express here. Is it "rich people shouldn't express their worldview" or "the idea that life is inherently meaningless is incorrect"? A younger me ingested this sentiment as a

Sounds like you understand the problem. My read is that you have a likeable frenetic personality; it won't be for everyone but some people will be really attracted to it, best not to question it and just be yourself.

hey not to give unsolicited advice but to share my experience - it took me a long time to realize that I'm not anti-social, but just anti-party and anti-work social. I flourish in most other spaces - especially hobby spaces.

I'm not so sure I agree - well maybe I do, I meant literally feeling in my statement not merely understanding. e.g. I eat meat - but I can literally feel the cringing sadness and disgust of a vegan if I imagine their perspective, even

The other day someone described themselves to me as an 'empath' which was odd, because in the context of the discussion it was invalidating to hear. And ironic considering they hadn't forseen how I would take it. Some people

Em dash , corny sub headings, numbered lists for no reason. I think some of this may be human written or edited, but it isn't passing my smell test. Sorry if this is mostly or all human written, but you have a very AI style.

At least subjectively, coffee seems to help my memory. But maybe that's why I started drinking coffee? I would probably drop coffee it was proven to have negative effects on memory.

I mean possibly. I interact in the space and there is almost no information in a cancelled subscription. There is more information in how much you spent on takeaway.
