I'll talk to my friends about "my day" every once in a while. Invariably it involves programming and the act of trying to describe what I'm doing is like off-roading: you constantly have to go long ways around things to

This is a very interesting question. Almost like saying: how do we keep gravity from eventually creating a few giant blackholes? Granted, we can't change physical laws. But if we could, we would clearly need some sort of anti-gravity

I really, really wish there were spaces that required some sort of proof of critical thinking to enter. The harder the test to get in, the better. Maybe even a non-refundable 50+$ fee. I would give a lot to have a single space on Earth wh

Much the opposite. Yours is the belief which every war has been fought over: the belief that you know what's good and bad, or right and wrong. I am in no way saying we shouldn't pursue it, or do our best. But simply admitting th

But compare that to someone who has no critical thinking skills at all. Further, at least some people will be clever enough to use critical thinking on their own beliefs. Maybe some will only use it to further entrench, but not all. And

Hopefully, anyone who had taken even introductory critical-thinking would recognize what was going on there and throw the article out. If the worry is, "this is one more way to convince non-critical people of things," I'm pre

For the sake of not being an over-confident, fledgeling sentience ape; the complexity involved in the question of "is this good or bad" are absolutely, overwhelmingly complex. ---------- If you wanted to truly answer such a questi

That's a good thing. Having a giant political flamewar about how critical thinking should work has good potential to result in mutual destruction. If you really play it out in your head, critical thinking is pretty hard to abuse becaus

What if -- and I know this is a crazy idea -- but what if there was some sort of metric beyond popularity by which things were reported? Maybe even decided? For instance: if there was a free online study (in person test) "critical thi

Do you ever feel the impulse to "ctrl-f" when you're at the grocery store? Imagine the feeling of going to reach for something, and accidentally just envisioning moving your arm. Might be like "stepping into air" w

This is a toughy. People who don't believe in covid vaccines -- for instance -- are living in a world of anecdotes, untrusting of easily manipulable data. But it's where we're at. In a world where you can't trust the da

A better title might be: > Staggering US wealth inequality heaps long-term harm on to low-income children, minorities most affected It would say everything there is to say without throwing non-minority low-income children under the bus.

NFT's really confuse me. Take the Mona Lisa for example: if the Louvre were ever to make their own NFT (perhaps with some embedded proof it was them creating it), wouldn't the "stolen" one suddenly lose all value? I get
