I used to be like that, but, life is too short to allow embarrassment to paralyze you. If you go through it often enough, you develop a sort of numbness to it. I'm sure I can still embarrass myself, but I try not to dwell in that micro

Is there an algorithm to humor and/or journalism?

Honestly, I like the phrase 'math people' or 'computer people' a bit better. Not always necessary to follow the formal rules of story telling, to tell a story. Reading the same patterns over and over, sounds kind of bori

The concept of 'baked in'. I sort of find doing stuff with words fun, sometimes. It's a creative endeavor, but also fairly rigorous. Otherwise, stare off into space, and wonder if the terrible things I don't want to happ

I've thought about it a lot. It just seems to loop, to find a way that allows me to believe I have done enough work such that I am allowed to have the thoughts I wanted to have from the beginning. There are all sorts of ways I seem to

I suppose at this point I would ask the question, what does it mean to think? What is 'thinking'? What's the goal?

> You can think any way you want to, and I will respect your right to think that way. I can respect that you think, but that doesn't mean I have to respect what you think. That's totally fine, just in my personal experience, st

The map is the territory for belief about belief though, sometimes, if people choose to agree. You can believe things about how people think and this can affect how people think. Sometimes precisely, such as in the case of a mental illness

Yea, but if you maintain that mentality, that affects your thoughts, affects behavior, affects 'crowd' behavior generally (all those agree), is perceived as such from those you predict about, get it? Affects all those who disagree

I think it's a balance. Non-profits have their own problems, individuals aren't fiscally organized and instead, have their incentives tied directly to the service. These incentives are philosophical ideals, therefore, not invarian

Microsoft has a history of taking the open source philosophy out of their products. Github is one of the few large, commercially successful platforms that have not only embraced, but built their entire platform around those fundamental valu

On one hand I really agree with this, but on the other it's a very good/evil way of looking at things. Creativity, for instance, comes from chaos. AI, in the case Musk refers to, is supposedly 'ordered opinion', but from

She (the author) jumped from what first sparked the understanding to the outcome of understanding how these things happen. It's not a bad thing in journalism. Sometimes, going step by step doesn't reveal the awareness to the audie

I think it's only bad when you don't feel like you have any control over it, and you feel more like it controls you. There's the long term goal you want, but the lack of having control leads to extremes, all of these things i

The original design was flawed. The new design understands the problem (people did not see the sign). The design is fixed. From there, intuition of how users interact with UX builds. The author is relating a personal story that illustrates

I think when people describe 'the ideal way to live financially' they are looking at the problem as though they have to solve it all in one go, all at once. That's overwhelming, often leads to a sort of, yo-yo pattern of extr

Being poor reminds me of PTSD honestly, though. You get caught up with wealth and status because every new decision brings you back to a past where your existence was chaotic. It's like the chaos of the past maps onto how you interpret

I think some people at some points in their life think that it's okay to judge others, because they think they will never be what they judge. But we always are that, generally, we experience those emotions eventually, in some shape or

Do you think there's a balance to be struck between connectionism and computationalism?

In Buddhism, compassion is practiced more because, every person you deal with is someone you either have been, or someone you will eventually see in yourself. So there's no point to criticize because you always work towards mutual unde
