I guess theoretically and in some ways in practice. But I’m thinking more along the lines of “search through the web only returning results bookmarked with 2 degrees of trust” or something like that. Where each of the nodes are not document

I’m interested in this approach, it is broadly what I’ve been wondering about since 2016. Is anyone working on systems like this right now? Any projects come to mind?

I find this young person’s perspective so refreshing. They reflect on the different facets of the experience they’re going through. They have self awareness, and cultural awareness. They’re in a hard spot and have some desire to change- and

I'm talking about being competition to an entity like YouTube which is funded by an internet advertising behemoth. Is that what you're talking about? YouTube can afford to offer a lot of value to the customer, much more than it wo

Thanks @cannabis_sam, never thought of this but yes absolutely. The tech is slowly getting there... but innovation would speed up a lot more if there was a significant enough pain (and therefore significant enough upside).

Hey, good question. My gut says to go reference that book I mentioned and make a guess for you. The author talks about the different stages of attachment and how it affects the forming brain. I'll try when I get home tonight.

This person's comment immediately attacks the parent for being irrational - that is, putting the parent down. Attacking the person, not the argument. That's what I call out and encourage them and others to slow down and consider p

Similar for me, but instead of eyes open, I sit upright against the headboard and meditate eyes closed. I’ll find myself starting to fall over a few times as I nod off, and try to fight through it. After a few of these battles to stay awake
