I hope it works for you. My parents chose to leave me in the normal school and curriculum "because that would surely make me normal". It was miserable for me. Social skills never came naturally, I was isolated and bullied, and bor

There is a difference between a social network or forum that has different beliefs but interesting discussions, and one that is solely focused on attacking the other camp.

Sure, but the problem is that it seemed democrats used "the economy is good" to imply "people have money" and avoid addressing the struggle. Maybe because they were afraid of tainting the results of the presidency. Even

But driving up the costs is a good thing in the big picture because negative externalities are artificially suppressed, the environmental, social and geopolitical cost of having cheap electronics and crap from China is way more high than an

I don’t disagree, but regarding your edit I’m not saying Republicans are not (way) worse, but that I’m hugely disappointed at Democrats. My hope was that instead of taking inspiration from Republicans they would lead an other way.

But Democrats gave simple explanations: “Joe is the sharpest he has ever been, the economy is the best you experienced your grocery bill increase is in your mind, no need to hold primaries and have your opinion we know this candidate is the

Except voting for massive tariffs make sense from an environmental and workers point of view. Logic instead of emotions was lacking in the democrats camp too.

More like it’s clear that trying to gaslight voters by using technical definitions to hide that food had increased more than 30% didn’t work. You can’t tell the people the economy is the best when they can’t afford food, no matter your tech

No, the problem is the medias (and campaign strategists) didn’t even try to communicate on these policies, and again thought social progressivism alone would do. That worked for a time in the early 2010s but they have yet to realize that wh

Stellantis is the perfect illustration: they kept putting all efforts into pushing their flawed ICE engine (PureTech) because they wanted to make profits from it for at least 10 years. And now the efforts are still not on making a good affo

My experience is the opposite can be true: I learned how to differentiate and integrate in high school but did not get a deep intuitive understanding until 10 years after when I got back at Math for video games and machine learning. If I we

Remembering the 90s when I grew up really into alternative music I think what has changed is maybe public perception. AI back then would not have changed much because mainstream pop music was already accepted as generic derivative existing

Like with any salesman whether he believes it or not is irrelevant as long as others do.

You are not wrong, but this is far from obvious for most people. Most companies have strong PR maintaining appearances for people without a lot of experience. So while this is an independent claim I think it’s still to remind that.

The constituents of the person physically exist, the different scales are just labels to group the particles/atoms/molecules/... Corporations on the other hand exist purely in the mind, it's not about scale. It's ju

Car door and head are just labels on group of atoms, when you banged your head the collision was real. Try banging your head against Amazon or Oracle. Where do you start? The hard drive holding the contracts? The buildings? The web servers?

A company doesn’t physically exist, the reality is people interacting with each others. People are not responsible for others whole experience, but certainly for their actions. You can’t hide behind non-existent things, you are having a rea

Your computer physically exists, just as your lawn mower. Amazon and Oracle on the other end just exist in our minds. Physically it’s just people interacting with each other. So for me personal integrity depends on each specific interaction

Interesting how this is the opposed of fitness recommendations where it’s all about mTOR activation to build muscle with protein or even pure leucine supplements. That would imply a strong inverse correlation between muscle mass and longevi
