Credibility helps with deterrence.
One thing we can do is to understand denial is a normal human defense mechanism. Better to avoid triggering denial by not making people afraid of the future. And when denial exists in a person already, best to avoid…
The trend I’ve noticed is towards emailed receipts which are not very consumer friendly. It seems like a better option is just taking a snapshot of the receipt on your cell phone. I’d appreciate having that option. A…
I am thinking about work from home recently. The shift to work from home only happened because of the pandemic, but it could have happened years earlier. Telecommuting was a thing since the early 2000’s, but widespread…
“flower that was grown, dried and packaged with no other modification” Who determines what is acceptable for that and who does the testing and how? Like, can they spray with neem oil to counter pests and it’s still…
That’s not super true. Salmon for instance. Or Easter eggs.
We agree it’s not a constant “we.” And also a lot of the current usage is secondary to pandemic politics where certain demographics and career slots benefitted or alternatively were hurt by covid related policies. My…
It is interesting we now call this stuff “conspiracy theories.” We used to talk of “snake oil” or people would make jokes about yoga and health food in the 70s. Currently it’s taken on a newspeaky sort of political…
“hopefully politicians will soon” The gop is controlled by donors who are mostly free market liberals. Elon won’t let anyone “censor” (regulate) x. The democrats don’t care about national security historically, and it’s…
No, LinkedIn is specifically and uniquely terrible. Some people enjoy x, nobody enjoys LinkedIn.
Amazed to see such a take after what happened in LA. Obviously the median immigrant has strong feelings of loyalty to their mother soil as can be witnessed by the huge Mexican flags and the direct testimony of many…
Get your point but Disagree. Antisemitism is singular and has a long history that is well documented. You can see clearly that it isn’t just another instance of racism or xenophobia, but something different. Nobody…
I mean I hear former junkies say the same thing about heroin after they kick. “It was the greatest pleasure I’ll ever know,” they’ll tell you with utmost sincerity. More a bug than feature, to me, YMMV
For sure. But if you read some of that wacky stuff from way back, you can start to see how parts rhyme with aspects of contemporary psychiatry. They too had much better standards and data than their predecessors. The…
Ironically, many in this thread are advocating for that! Take someone with mental problems, throw a truckload of psychedelics on top. That’ll fix em gud! And, if that doesn’t work, up the dosage, or maybe do the 3000…
Wilson was taking a lot of different sorts of drugs iirc. Part of the problem is people take psychedelics in youth, when schizophrenia, bipolar and other mental disorders tend to arise making it hard to quantify true…
Your post actually makes me sad. You have such a wonderful life: kids, wife, privilege and wealth to travel to Europe. But the most beautiful experience in your mind wasn’t any of that, it was tripping on shrooms? If…
The use of LSD in psychiatry is one of the less wacky things about the state of psychiatry at that time. Arguably psychiatry is still wacky, and still overhypes novel compounds without knowing how or why they work…
Thankfully Asians don’t do spywares.
I feel like dunking on personality psychology was Milgram’s big mistake. Live by the sword…
I feel like coups are more likely in developing or socialist countries. An American coup at this point seems very unlikely to work thanks to “learning from past failings” and stuff like advanced weapons systems. I mean…
I”m reformed. I reread hn.
Not nostalgia. Putin is what he is. Movies about hitler aren’t nostalgic. Germany under Hitler was an “enemy culture” no? We must never minimize the global disdain for Russia under Putin. How many have died? Nostalgia…
The administration tears down another Chesterton fence. Herein lies the rub: nobody thinks they are rubber stamping. Finding people who are less likely to approve vaccines because they lack experience in pharma is just…
It’s sad how addicted people are to his button pushing. I’ve got an elderly family member with dementia who can’t go more than 2 hours without watching a outrage video about Trump. You know the ones on YouTube, still…
