I always feel so confused by--and skeptical of--these kinds of brain implant technologies. It says: "The chip then automatically triggers a light beam to stimulate the region, activating neurons that can override pain signals." Is

The words "deserve" and "not deserve" are very common misunderstandings of karma. I think it's not about deserving, more like being tossed around a terrible stormy sea with a terrible rudder. That's the point o

One way to think of it is that for example bighorn sheep: they have horns formed in a physical spiral shape, whereas a galaxy may look like a spiral, but is composed of myriads of individual stars, organized in that shape. The horn

It's interesting that many atheists seem to argue that the only two choices are either a Christian god, or a basically meaningless universe, and a keystone for Christianity to be the wrong option is the problem of evil. But there are s

Nitpick, certainly not thousands. When you're first starting out even if your elo is like 400, you'll be lucky to break 1000 after a year unless you study very diligently. The gap from 1000-2000 then takes multiple years (probably

Utilizing a relationship with a pet to cultivate empathy is a form of exploitation in the same way that being kind and generous to people in order to feel good about oneself is a form of selfishness. The Dalai Lama refers to this as "w

I'm not sure how you got this conclusion, it seems like the exact opposite of what they're saying. Placing animals in buckets of "useful" and "useless" is not empathy; that's back to the point of treating

I tried doing a strict vegan diet for about a year and found it was endless misery for me. I could never get adjusted to it. There was a constant feeling of torture and self-flagellation. Staying vegetarian is easy enough because it didn&#x

Yeah, context is key here... Damages can also mean physical bodily harm. By GP's reasoning, we could interpret the article as saying someone was medically wounded and claim that to be a correct interpretation because it's one of t

To ignore that element just telegraphs a complete lack of understanding of the basic premise that underpins human existence. It's true family is extremely important and clearly I personally do not have much in the way of famil

I hope this doesn't come across as insensitive but this is something I've never understood. If life feels like this, that seems like an indicator that it's time for some massive change. Usually people give some vague abstract

I believe for the case of SaaS, at worst it's just not possible, and at best the odds of identifying and building a successful SaaS tool with no code is probably orders of magnitude lower than otherwise. That being said there are many

For me this is the norm. I can breathe through my nose, or my nose+mouth at the same time. There is no "just breathing through mouth"

Voluntarily sealing your nostrils is something I never knew about until I was complaining about some city odor to a girlfriend who said "Just plug your nose." I said I didn't just want to walk around pinching my nose, and she

Not to be rude, I'm sure this is an amazing project by brilliant people, but for some reason something about this branding and marketing really struck me as almost satirical on a subconscious level. Unfortunately I can't give an e

This is my experience as well, and I can still occasionally have a cigar or hookah on special occasions a couple times a year without any problems. Then again I only smoked about 1/3rd of a pack a day for about 3 years, so maybe the ad
