Not true, the effect of high blood levels can be very unpredictable. Especially above a certain number - and largely depending on the basal insulin strategy of the patient, for instance long acting shots versus constant…
One of the main uses of these technologies is precisely because some type 1 diabetics can become unaware of the symptoms over time either through chance adaption or over-exposure, for instance, hypo-unawareness.
I remember reading the 6th paragraph as a teenager, it’s still good: “First of all: what is work? Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth’s surface relatively to other such…
Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson
Is perception and evaluation a basic function? By analogy with cellular life, maybe. But I think this abstraction hides more than it reveals.
You are right of course. The plays are plays. And ”commercial” minus the poetry ;) and yet, the poetry is there, for the non-commercial reader. (I hear they exist)
Perhaps, but I think that is beside the point. I read the tales for the voices of the characters, and for the poetry. It’s like Shakespeare, where the plot or story is usually a bit boring, more of a pretext to the…
It takes less time than you might think to get aquatinted with older English spellings, especially if you start at the deep end with Chaucer; it’s plain sailing after. Personally I got to enjoy and prefer the absolute…
It it surprising that science, which is the theory of impersonal necessity, should find individual agency a rather inconceivable thing?
Indeed
It’s interesting. Creativity might not be different in effect to “adding some randomness”, but it is different in cause. If the effect is indistinguishable, this distinction may seem sentimental. But take the idea to…
I think your comparisons miss the point: those technologies improved means of production of things made by humans. Instead, these applied statistics models directly seek to emulate the humans themselves. You say ”it…
A different stance from Amherst: I’m Nobody! Who are you? Are you – Nobody – too? Then there’s a pair of us! Don't tell! they'd advertise – you know! How dreary – to be – Somebody! How public – like a Frog – To tell…
“ … I love all waste And solitary places; where we taste The pleasure of believing what we see Is boundless, as we wish our souls to be.”
Do you take yourself to be an illusion?

I think it was likely both. That conditions can diminish a human being is obvious to perceive but impossible to accept. However, if conditions don't suffice to explain, then it seems like there must be something wrong…
"This seems like an anthropocentric view of the world." - What else would you suggest? The world itself, taken on its own terms, has no history, no memory of itself, no experience of time, or change, it simply is, and…
take a sample of Morris' own writing, from 'Useful Work versus Useless Toil' : "Worthy work carries with it the hope of pleasure in rest, the hope of the pleasure in our using what it makes, and the hope of pleasure in…
Morris' good advice is a weaker statement of Keats' last words in the Grecian Urn, where the difference between use & beauty becomes null - & belief is left out of it altogether. Morris loved Keats and towards the end…
It's likely not true: https://johnballblog.wordpress.com/william-morris-and-arseni...
I think we can agree on common ground, I just don't think it's what really matters. Actually, I'd say what matters most, is that we disagree. What would actually happen if everything was simply true?
The denial of reality may be something, (clearly in the trivial cases, denial of facts, it is a common fault) - but more interesting is to ask the converse question: just what exactly does it mean to "accept" reality?…
You couldn't make it up - "the ominous opening: “Thou still unravish’d bride.” Keats himself is not trying to convince us that “Beauty is truth, truth beauty,” but to ask us to consider the kinds of people who might say…
Thanks, I'll have to look the recording up.
