I DM streaming Emacs with ascii maps a-la roguelike and this minor mode on org. Players love it. Tactical depth of map and all theater of the mind engagement. I actually kick-started my maps with rogel-ike. An Emacs roguelike game. Check it

Exactly what I am saying. But I am saying, stop blaming others, start changing yourself.

Let me just mark that I know no spaniard outside government doing paid overtime. Literally. Everyone is doing overtime and it is not paid. That is huge corruption wise, it prevents jobs from being created, money is being stolen from workers

I meant org-mode. I didn't know about the other one. Thanks for the info. I do not use Emacs as spreadsheet often. As my spreadsheet needs are larger than org-mode is comfortable with. Pretty much business people sharing data at work.

Emacs comes with a pretty good plain text spreadsheet. I have not figured out how to use it for large amounts of data (caped at 999 rows) but it's way more powerful than "your favorite spreadsheet software" as it allows for b

The whole point of Emacs is: you get to change whatever you don't like. Furthermore, why use Emacs as an IDE if you don't like it? Who cares what editor you use? Unless you use Emacs, then they make fun of you for using it, while

This is one of the best criticisms of AI that I have read. Leaving science alone and working on our own biases should be the way forward. But with censorship on the rise in every corner of the world and political spectrum, I would say thing

I have been using Emacs for about 5 years. I don't think I will ever graduate from advanced beginner. I learn something new every week. And I would say I have done fairly sophisticated stuff with Emacs. I also think you are right. I am

Yes, no government control is exactly the point of no legalization. Violence and gangs and ridiculous prices are a symptom of criminalization. If in order to produce and consume you face several years prison, gangsters happen. If nobody car

I see your point, and I think is valid. But I disagree. I think the harm of legalization is only slightly below the war on drugs. Legalization means another vector of government control in my life, most likely outsourced to big pharma. All

I believe there is some sort of nonsequitur on the proposed argument. You can stop the war on drugs and keep the "drugs are evil" narrative. It's called decriminalization. Stop bothering people for possessing, producing or us

James Farina has spent decades doing non-clinical research on long term effects of psychedelics. For what is worth, the effects seem to go the other direction. Other than that, I think you are absolutely right tho, mushrooms can induce seve

I found out most people confound familiarity and "intuitiveness" when trying to teach Emacs. They would say it was not intuitive because common key shortcuts were not default. I would try to explain, to no avail I must say, that i

As a curiosity note, when I asked my friend's dad how did he managed to get 3 degrees and 2 PhDs, his answer was: "Bear in mind amphetamines were sold over the counter back then."

About tricking... I mean, we are talking about psychiatrists using psychedelics to aid therapy, I want to believe they are not the kind of people to trick others. Other than that you are absolutely right. Drug effects depend on dosage and w

But there is already a plethora of behavior altering pills. I am a fairly peaceful person. After a week long cortisone treatment due to allergy, I wanted to punch everyone in the face. Compared to that an increase in trait openness seems fa

With the level of lisp-hate out there, this approach might make this feature less likely to happen. It's quite a sound idea tho.

As the language keeps growing, it gets harder. If my code gets illuminated by constellations of stars and double stars or all my functions are decorated, most of my colleagues start giving me bad looks. In my humble opinion they are on the

Yes, same as psilocybin. When you microdose you are not supposed to get psychedelic effects. The supposed benefits come from prolonged presence of the molecule in the body. Similar how antidepressants work, the point is not to take one tabl

Microdosing implies non psychoactive dose. It would be more like people who left after drinking one beer because they were not under the influence. Furthermore, how can you be certain that you sober perception is more accurate than the alte

Never have I ever had a a pleasant interaction with law enforcement. I think that is what was implied by above poster, nothing to do with getting shot.

Psychedelics are not necessarily pleasant, should not be taken lightly: do your research and understand the risks if interested. AFAIK, schizophrenia is not caused but revealed by usage. AFAIK, most people suffering schizophrenia or psychot

It's not uncommon where I am from for plain clothes police to start riots. That delegitemizes the protestors and legitemizes violent action by the state. Pretty anti-liberal (classical sense :) That's not exactly an undirected mob

It is a common opinion of people not acquainted to mushrooms that you will loose control, as if all drugs had the same effect as weed or alcohol. Loosing control with mushrooms is associated to high doses or previous psychotic conditions.

Every time I took mushrooms, it felt like everything went in HD, no mental hinderance (as compared to say alcohol or weed) and even increased creativity/critical thinking. Good ol' college days. Is it possible that you might have

I have a pretty large emacs config. I wrote it over 4 years. I tend to figure out repetitive tasks on my workflow and code them to key bindings. It saves time in the end and it is quite lazy. I also get all crazy refactoring tasks at work,

You seem to be a more experienced lisper than me (I mostly do elisp scripts and a bit of Clojure) and I have learned a bit from your answer. Thanks.

I called it "probably" the worst lisp. I enjoy very much working with elisp, and almost 100% agree with your characterization of it. But it is a fairly clunky language with all it's let, letstar, letdash, letstardash... You k

Honest question. What's wrong with elisp? I have never been limited by it. Granted, it's probably the worst lisp. But it works just fine for it's intended use. It could be argued that is one of the most used lisps. As for por
