I support this completely. I would go the extra step of not making internet capable phones accessible to under 14 year olds in general.

You have to really abuse alcohol for it to mess with your psyche. Nicotine is damaging physically but does nothing significant to the mind. Contrast that with one terrible trip that could very well happen on your first time trying psyched

The overall usage in the population is low because psychedelics are unpredictable. They can have long term effects on the human psyche and there is a correctly ingrained notion in society that they are dangerous to a stable mindset.

Skepticism has been muddied by right wing conspiracy theorists and now people equate healthy skepticism with mild insanity.

Aren’t Musk and the Zuck feuding right now? This is a hilarious setup.

I wonder if there is a way to stimulate the vestibular system externally to make it feel like actual locomotion and perhaps improve on the motion sickness.

I’ll reluctantly back you up on this one. There are definitely people in power right now that would definitely lock up LGBTQ/Black/Women (honestly white males too) under false pretenses. Still, we have to do something about the ho

Things can improve. We can learn from past mistakes and do it better. Have a high bar for entry, have stringent regulations that involve inspections every week etc. The solution is not to just throw up your hands and refuse to do anything a

For that one example of abuse, there are a thousand cases where a mentally ill person didn’t assault someone on the street or break into their vehicle. I’m all for preventing abuse but there must be a way for asylums to exist with high bars

As a commoner I’d trust the elites far more than the “commoners”. Populist stuff is invariably short sighted and historically doomed and only works to dislodge an unbearable incumbent, not realistically implement effective governance after

Or just get a slice of the entrepreneurial opportunities these immigrants bring to actually grow the economy. 55% of the unicorns in the US have atleast one immigrant founder. 66 of the top 500 unicorns in the US are founded by Indian immig

We’re not idiots , just people with communities and appropriate support structures in place that people like you threw out the window on the altar of individualism and shortsightedness. Modern therapists turn around and attack the same ide

Getting help from mental health professionals is just a way for that individual to foist their opinions onto you. Psychology is a highly subjective field whose studies have startlingly low reproducibility. You’re much better off finding s

Why isn’t it a good measure? It costs maybe $0.50 to get a reasonable full meal in India, you’re not going to get anything close to that in the US. In second tier cities in India, people can rent a reasonable studio for $50/month, you’

It does way, way more. Not only can it haul and drive for essentially free if you have solar panels, it can power your worksite and home for a couple of days for “free” as well. With cheap solar, it can be your daily driver and your farm

It’s the opposite. It’s a fight for market share for a growing user base.

That’s what people said about Dropbox too. I can set this up in 5 mins with rsync blah blah. There is value and effort involved in making it production ready, seamless, general population ready etc.

Honestly, then the fix is to educate your population and make them feel safe enough so they will testify. Maybe a massive decrease in crime is just one way to get to that point after which you can return to a more sane equilibrium. Are you

It would work if you indiscriminately jail anyone that “looks” like a gangbanger. But I would guess 30% of those jailed would be innocent even if the mass arrests were made in good faith (they almost certainly won’t be at least in the US).

It was the same with the Chinese around 20 years ago on the internet as well. A significant number of people in the west don’t want India or China to succeed. Asian countries know how to deal with this though- just don’t engage, ignore the

I don’t know if you can call 7-9% growth for the last ~20 years (with the exception of 2020 during covid) spurts. It’s a consistently fast growing economy, at massive scale, that has maintained steam for more than two decades and doesn’t lo

That’s essentially impossible. The birth rate in India is below 2 at this point so the population will drop. That combined with a larger economy means the per capita metrics will improve.

Because that’s what being a superpower means. A lot of the rights and privileges you enjoy is precisely because the US is a superpower. If you don’t like it, you’re more than welcome to move to some quiet backwater, there are plenty of thos
