Games are a pretty interesting category of software in that they're possibly the only interactive software a user would voluntarily use for its own sake. Anti-games policies and agreements seem pretty suspiciously like…

I think many (most?) "Digital natives" already found a superior answer to these problems; pull people you're actually friends with (defined by whether they'll join your small group chat) into small group chats, and blog…
Didn't mean to assert a dichotomy, more wondering whether the size of the effect of importance of emotional safety for expressive freedom varies with some kind of external measure of confidence
If it has an effect it could be worth pursuing just to measure the size of the effect. If perfection isn't needed, "good enough" might be better.
I wonder if the same effect holds true if a team is made up of mostly confident/brash people, or if safety-to-project-yourself can be trained and elevated independent of any other aspect of social environment. Maybe…
Substitutions are omnipresent in my experience, but I view that as a symptom of almost all stores having really profoundly bad inventory tracking (do the developers for the web platform even know whether they have any…
Seems like a bold prediction that most (maybe any?) grocery stores have the level of corporate organization or even level of education to even consider a "secret order substitution to prole cart-pushers who will then…
It could be appropriate to consider them cross-genre games containing elements of both soothing-slice-of-life gameplay cycles and conflict-oriented-'normal'-game gameplay cycles. Games mixing placid, relaxing gameplay…
The use of psychiatric techniques as torture is the history of psychiatry. This is not some petty joke or argumentative stance. Do you think that Henry Cotton was a problem of political ethics? Supposedly his reputation…
Yes? Do you approve of the idea of using any combination of therapies found effective to cure people of believing in their religion, or to 'solve' political dissidents? Intellectual freedom,literally in this case, is…
The phenomenological impact of poor diet and harsh glycemic index ASDR cannot be overstated. 'refined sugars negatively impact mood and emotional well-being' might be one of the most rock solid universals of human…
As the saying goes: have you tried self-conducted sleep deprivation, exercise, improved diet, vitamin d, sun lamps, having sex, talk therapy, or any of the clinically evaluated pharmchems yet? Why not?
(if the study replicates), the targeted precision and long term persistence of therapeutic effects. If someone prescribes you a pill for being gay and you don't want to be cured of being gay, you could always just stop…
I agree, and think both pose serious social problems (already realized with ECT) just by their availability as treatments.
Moral problems arise not from curing suffering being morally wrong, but the leakage of moral responsibility in medical/psychiatric practice outside of research. Any tool to 'correct associative pathways' will be used…
Is there an outside definition of medical ethics that can really be impartially compared from generation to generation? I'm certain all previous generations thought they were acting in good faith as well. Progress…
This reads as extremely ethically dangerous. I'm not sure it's possible to justify any course of treatment leading towards individual neurocircuitry 'tweaks', even for an unambiguously good cause. Harkens too closely to…
