Thanks, you're one of the few that gets the implications of what I am doing and why I am doing it in this way. One of the problems I ran into while studying is the decay of the information. It takes quite some time to store all this in

Income wise I've reached the point where I can now spend some time trying out some new things. I won't be able to do it for years, but that is because I buy things like new Makerbots, that's really eating into my budget. In o

Alright, that's good to hear. Is there any specific kind of information you'd be most interested in? Side effects? Actual changes in lifestyle? Should I give it a psychological focus or write it very informal?

Yeah, I know, I'm a follower of Gwern, however, like I outline elsewhere in this thread, I think that the effectiveness of the device is already proven by the research papers. IQ tests in my opinion form a good enough basis for measuri

Why would I consider your response pessimistic? It seems to be a totally valid remark to me. No, there is no evidence at all. However, the medication I have been taking, is known to improve the ability to focus in people with a certain DNA

But I'd invite others to follow along, using my instructions and publishing their findings (for example, before and after IQ tests), that would increase the number of participants, but not solve the control group problem. However, if y

Use your imagination? Someone wants to help, goes to A, someone else there will be paying attention to how that person is behaving, how effective or ineffective etc. Call it simply human behavior or scouting or what not. For most of the vi

Haven't you learned anything from the last crash? Doing that basically caused our economy to collapse for several years. Instead, you should do it in a safe way, like with cubed CDOs that contain slices of Bitcoin, LiteCoin and Dogec

Thanks. I suspected something was wrong when the authors posed the question: "Has consciousness, in some sense, been here all along, as spiritual approaches maintain?"

What I do is just not read the usernames (beyond roughly scanning the word to figure out who replied to who). No really, I mean that, I don't even know your username. That makes for a wonderful experience really. I interact with this n

Now take it one step further, not just your UI, that's peanuts next to that big elephant in the room. Each ad you make me watch, requires a little bit of my willpower. I have to ignore its message, resist clicking on that nice looking
