I have no experience with this, but there are apps you can get which turn the screen from full colour to greytone. apparently it really cuts out the addictive quality for a lot of people.
I think getting good at getting good at things is also good to do at that age. I'm in favour of encouraging kids to study broadly, but I've also ready very compelling accounts of where encouraging a kid's narrow…
I'm not an expert either, but you might be interested in the book 'Superforecasting' by Tetlock and Gardner - they have done some (IMHO) very interesting research on predictions markets. It might be the kind of thing…
Wouldn't we have a robot steer the light sail as it got closer? Genuine question, this is well outside my wheelhouse.
Oh now you're just tempting fate. Surely that distinction goes to the cockroaches?
The ideology of growth being dealt a genuinely humiliating defeat would involve massive depopulation event anyway. It seems far better to shift away from growth-dependent economics before any humiliating defeat rather…
When you say 'fix' do you mean 'prevent a two-degree shift' or 'transition to an zero-net-emissions economy'? Or do you mean we can avoid some survivable threshold higher than two degrees? I agree that useful action is…
OP here on a different device, a lot of people have been asking about my beef with Youtube, so I'll try and put what I noticed in a timeline. 1. Youtube comes out with the promise of revolutionizing video, I immediately…
I always give myself five minutes in which I can flip the coin as many times as I like, but at the end of that I have to go with the face that's showing. It's pretty interesting - I find myself hesitating when it's…
Japan is probably more concerned about boosting their declining pop rate, which is inversely correlated with women's education, than expanding their economy in the short term and accelerating the population decline.
>What structures today are likely to survive long term? The Georgia Guidestones come to mind. I've been quite interested in the pre-ice age golden age theory lately but I think the part missing from your analysis is…
Then why is it profitable to recycle glass?
funny - King actually has a quote on this that stuck with me quite a while. "Some books you read for the story. Don't be like the snobs who won't read a book for the story. Some books you read for the words. Don't be…
To pro-alternative folks like myself it just means "not in the medical textbooks yet". Most 'alternative' approaches do have rigorous studies backing them up, just recent and ignored by a lot of people.
The US paving the way for such practices is not exactly reassurance. If the laws are so complex nobody is capable of operating within them, the result is a police state. Being subject to arrest at any time because the…
Plenty of people are doing it - that's why having the fastest bot is helpful.
Interesting question! My guess is that a part of the difference was actually doctrinal - Christianity is largely a religion for revolutionary times, more concerned with overturning a corrupt order than administering a…
Potency is typically assumed in the industry, the volume of methane is trivial compared to volume of CO2.
I can't help but think of that Leanord Cohen song, "First we take Manhatten".
I want to know where you bank.
Nocoiners seem to pingpong between an attitude of sour grapes and one of schadenfreude, depending on valuations. Perhaps it's a natural reaction to being too risk-averse to invest in something that's been profitable for…
just recalling what a professor said on the subject - in the short term, those areas that gain a suitable climate for agriculture will take decades to build soil up to what agriculture requires. Places where it was too…
yet another phenomenon plenty of people experience subjectively being 'disproven' by experiment. It's no wonder the stock of so-called experts is diminishing...
I think it's fair to say that designing weapons that others will use is always an ethical quandary with unknowable complexity. If someone errs on the side of causing no harm - a commonly accepted default if discussions…
Your comment brings to mind this article: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-blathering-superego-...! I recommend giving it a read if you'd like your attitude challenged.
