Yes, but also no. I have a prioritised list, it's simply that not everything fits inside the list, because my time is limited. Instead of "Not enough time" we could say "This is not high enough a priority".
> It also means your kid has no experience of online interactions with strangers, basically no SNS literacy, which also sounds like a disaster waiting to happen to me. I think it would be better to allow them to be…
And that's the root cause of many, many issues. It's a pity so many of these issues get simply patched up through other means instead of properly addressing the real root cause.
This is like saying food is good. It is. But then you have ultra-processed food, junk food, food you might be allergic to... Some medicines are good, some medicines are the lesser bad, some medicines will kill you if…
You don't need to be fake in order to be nice. Become nice, then you won't have to fake it. One way of becoming nice is to act nice. A nice person is a person who acts nice towards other people. You can act different…
What about because something is objectively good for you? For example, you could learn to like fermented foods (if you don't) because they are very healthy for you.
What if my authentic feeling and behaviour was to slap you in the face and laugh at you because you answered 'Yes.' to an 'either/or' question? The problem is that for humanity, unrestrained behaviour will very quickly…
In this paradigm you describe, should we then strive to be authentic or should we refrain? Don't you think this would open the doors to an endless amount of bad behaviours?

Fair enough. Two points here, then: - From a strictly scientific standpoint, wouldn't it be interesting to properly understand why and how it works? - From a purely practical standpoint, who cares about any of that if…
Placebo is by definition highly subjective, and not even in the sense of one's opinion, but rather that it works or not at a subject level.
Well that's a bit too much of a generalisation maybe? Yes, there are old ways that have been proven wrong, which were based on ignorance at the time, but there are also old ways which are totally legit and are little…
> You get a lot of medicine that looks quite a bit like quack medicine It depends what you understand by "quack medicine". To me, in the beginning, all the stuff about drinking weird plants and doing homemade remedies…
Interesting, you're describing exactly what I went through a few years ago. In my case, however, I turned to pure ginger infusions, following the advice of a herbalist. Haven't gone through it again so far, plus it also…
I am learning how to weld and work metal, work wood, grow a vegetable garden, keep chickens, maybe raise some later on... All this AI hype is pushing me even more to think that the value of a job is inversely…
This reply deeply disturbs me for some reason.
Sadly we've all seen this unfold in current times.
A blockade would mean a slow death for thousands or potentially millions of Japanese, as well at the cost and risk of tens of thousands of American troops, as well as a stupid amount of resources and infrastructure. The…
Remove single points of failure, ensure redundancy of dependencies, etc. Being able to contact other people in case of an emergency by definition would make him more independent than he was, obviously. Maybe not…
You should play a game of Age of Empires, and have your Villager population halved at some point of the game. See what happens then.
That's amazing. I'm in Spain, absolutely different landscape here. I guess your government is trying to boost both higher education and birth rates.
