If paying people that need the money just to survive is exploitation, is it better or worse to pay people more money for slightly less trivial stuff that don't need that money to survive? I struggle to see how providing opportunity to

So we should first-line treat people with addictive, known long-term harmful medicines rather than try things that have a known long-term safe profile simply because it's understood to be less likely to work? That's just bonkers t

Completely agree, the point of life isn't to reduce risk to zero - it's to make life wildly abundant and beautiful. Joy and creativity should be prioritized heavily over safety. That doesn't mean you don't have safety as

Considering there's no biological measurement being used to diagnose or correct ADHD, it's more of an "art" than a science. I presume you're looking for the safest drug that's also effective, because the safes

Imagination is the tool, not the storage space. The tool has boundless potential to create things in your mind. In other words, the tool is boundless or "infinite" in its ability. Given a mind that lasts forever there's no re

I have a friend that just purchases the game and then pirates the dump (as it's much easier that way to obtain the dump). That's maybe technically illegal (IANAL), but I don't think anyone should be worrying about violating t

No, we don't - we have a biological framework for creating motivation for certain behaviors. This is a well established concept. Motivated behaviors (or habits) are the framework, addiction is when we misuse that framework. We're

Feel free to ignore this if it feels like nit-picking, but I'm particularly sensitive to "addiction" language. We don't have a biological framework for addiction, we have a framework for building routines and healthy hab

You should pick any index/ranking you find modestly convincing and ask yourself which of the bottom 50, i.e. least democratic countries you would rather live in when compared to any one single top 10, most democratic country. Democracy

I believe life is most pleasant when you choose to err on the side of trusting experts, but there is something quite amusing (to me) that programmers have "cargo culting" and if you write code and deeply invest in any community yo
