'Rationality: From AI to Zombies' is available on a pay-what-you-want basis. It talks about cognitive science, ethics, human (ir)rationality and how to improve it, among other things. It stems from the Lesswrong…
I recommend reading about the Fun Theory: http://lesswrong.com/lw/xy/the_fun_theory_sequence/ > Fun Theory is the field of knowledge that deals in questions such as "How much fun is there in the universe?", "Will we…
How would my data (say status updates) be stored? On a single server of my own choice? How do you decide who has access to what? Will it be somehow encrypted, so that only a subset of my contact list could get access to…
