Interesting thoughts but I don’t see any as ground breaking. The author correctly points out that there are clear genetic conditions that predispose someone to a disease or protect from one. Germ theory correctly describes infection as a r

This seems consistent with my own experience. After using threads for a bit I do not really see a purpose for it. No hashtags… isn’t ordered by date or sortable by new… The app seems to be focused on just putting celebrity nonsense and co

I think we may have already entered it. Infinite scroll based feeds like TikTok, Instagram, and Threads (and possible Reddit these days) … just AI algorithm deciding what you should find “entertaining” or “important”. It’s really the ultim

What exactly is threads for? Not for sharing interesting headlines? I am not sure what's is purpose really is and how it differs from Instagram and Facebook. Is it just to show me celebrity one liners? Show me obvious product placemen

The issue with AI is that it may put too much power into a small groups hand. Imagine if you wanted to develop a weaponized prion or weaponized virus. In todays world this is possible but requires a state actor with systems of control, co

The issue has changed in my lifetime. Originally affirmative action was used to help people who had been systematically discriminated against get into higher learning institutions in an attempt to make up for some of these wrongs. Although

Same with MacOS 10.6.x Snow leopard with a intel dual core 4 gigs of ram and a SSD performs as well as a MacBook 2019 i7 running 11.x Monterrey. So much unnecessary processes in the background IMO Keep it simple stupid whenever possible

Does anyone think this just applies to migrants and ICE agents? We are already moving into a minority report style future … or maybe better said we are racing towards it now.

The age clock still does. A 40-50 year old dad is not the same energy as a dad so where aged 20-35. Sure an 80 year can even father a child .. although let’s be honest he wouldn’t be much of a “dad”.

Hmm. I had 3 children by the age of 30 and wouldn’t change it for anything in the world. My oldest is now 21. My younger brother is just now having his second child at the age of 40 and he regrets waiting so long. His children will never

Interesting read. Have always enjoyed Philip K Dicks novels… sadly not surprised he struggled with mental and substance abuse. His books read in a way that often feature a character somewhat removed from reality or in some form of psychosi

Yuck. When I use AI I do not want web results. I will use Bing or Google when I want web results. The combination makes not sense and is not user friendly in my experience.

“ Grades are not a representation of student learning, as hard as it is for us to break the mindset that if the student got an A it means they learned," This is a faulty premise. The point of grades is not to reflect growth or improve
