This type of lack of feeling of belonging (over things like race, nation and community) can manifest in schizoid personality disorder.

If it were aliens, though, first contact would probably look like an incidental encounter with a Von Neumann probe. It would look exactly like this.

Check out Ned Nikolov's work. The greenhouse gas model is as flimsy as the Flat Earth. Reading his stuff reminded me of Leah Remini talking about learning of Xenu and the associated lore in Scientology. I can't believe I was so br

Yeah the consoles are little islands of genuine content too (Although, a new Zelda could come out a bit faster...). But it's almost like it only works there, as a loss leader.

Valve have too much employee direction to participate in the race to the bottom that is modern video games. But, to your point-- everyone got out of the AAA game development business. We've had one Elder Scrolls and one GTA for ten y

It might be if the nature of the comparison weren't overwhelmingly favorable to SpaceX.

Phil's great! He's funny, scientific and very opinionated. I don't agree with all of his arguments and viewpoints either. I think that's part of the fun.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. And yep the category (order) is the big one. But six results didn't really capture it all.

Because of how scammy SpaceX is. Phil's points that we're just re-trodding the reusable vehicle idea from the Space Shuttle days, but somehow paying more for it, are pretty damning in my eyes [1]. It feels a lot like government-fu

Hyperloop is definitely lower-hanging fruit than Tesla. Of SpaceX, Hyperloop, Boring and Tesla, Tesla is easily the least scammy. But this particular energy density argument does come up pretty much any time he talks about Tesla.

Call me out on what? Watching Phil Mason? I enjoy The Flaming Lips too. Should I get upset when people don't like them? Thanks for the warning but I'm trying to save the huffiness for when people attack my own work. I've alre

Thunderf00t on Youtube loves these types of analyses. You can find one in almost every one of his videos. He does not have a lot of nice things to say about Elon Musk. His page: https://www.youtube.com/user/Thunderf00t

It shows contempt. It might not be abuse itself, but it's definitely something abusers say. If he's confusing those things he probably deserves your compassion, not your indignation.

As an emotional philosopher, I've found that the emotions of guilt and pride don't stop developing until you're in your 60s. EDIT: No, really, I do philosophy, it focuses on emotion. I don't deserve downvotes for somethi

I just posted this too! It's the same idea but one is presented as humility and one as hubris.

This post fits the definition of hubris under the three virtues[1]. [1] http://threevirtues.com/

You sound exactly like me before I started talking to people about the specifics. I've lost friends making that N different welfare systems argument. Left and right are relative terms. If everyone else moves left of you, you're

> can't come close Maybe, but that's comparing real market dollars vs. government spending dollars. When you're not spending 20k on a hammer and 30k on a toilet seat, prices go down. Half of the people will waste their UBI

I'm a libertarian who supports UBI. Or I did until I realized my conception of it was different from most supporters. Libertarians who support UBI think of it as replacing the other stuff. This is a wildly unpopular opinion on the le

They totally would. And anyone we meet will probably already be related to us, if life is panspermic.

I missed this last week. Just because what I said doesn't apply to you, doesn't mean I was wrong. Simply using the term "wokeness" and describing a suspected conspiracy puts you squarely in the group I'm talking abo
