This cynicism isn't useful. You speak about how everyone wants to use every word against you, but your generalizations about people make me believe that you are the one looking for some kind of failure. Listen, I don't…
I don't aliens that could come here would recognize profit as something real. They would see us destroying the world to eat meat. To pointlessly travel at high speeds. To drive cars around in pointless errands. To…
Engagement. In fact, IMO, trying to achieve engagement should be illegal psychological experimentation on humans, but I'm an outlier.
This winter in my neck of the woods I hear a lot of people saying "oh, what great weather this year", because it's warm and without snow. If they had taken enough math to understand chaotic dynamic systems, they would…
To sum up another comment: it's cultural, not biological. Race is not a useful scientific guideline for any kind of scientific study. For example: there is as much biological diversity in sub Saharan Africa as the rest…
This tendency is not necessarily human. There are enormous numbers of humans disinterested in control of others, or their environment, etc. Those who want control might suggest otherwise, and they might actually believe…
Lacking evidence otherwise, I would say that we have to assume the internal experience of most life with central nervous systems are remarkably similar to ours, because we are remarkably similar. The next step is to…
The difference between the bison and beef cows is that the bison lived longer lives than the beef cows today. Growing new animals vs. maintaining a population has significantly different energy requirements.
It's great to have a note system where you can get general information about a subject. However, such a system will not encourage you to read and recollect the information on a regular basis. It seems to me that the…
We already have the language to describe someone who claims an expertise in a knowledge area without the study necessary to be an actual expert: dilettante. And that's all that we'll actually be without memorization.…
This ignores data that shows how many older people retired, and how large that effect is. Sum up the number of people who died, were injured, retired, our found better work, and it had a much greater effect than the…
If I were a leader of a country that engaged economically with the US, I would be less concerned with the use of the dollar for UBI than it's current use, which is too enrich a small financial elite. A group that not…
My point is, what does it serve to build tanks? If the goal is to protect "our nation", then we are serving the abstractions. If you take a "command economy" and tell it to feed the people of the world, restore natural…
A "command economy", or even "China", are still abstractions. Arguably, your points further prove mine.
Until human society stops serving abstractions (like money) over things that are real, then real things will continually face consequence. These will still over into our lives in a multitude of ways until we no longer…
I actually believe that a small percentage of people want to climb the hierarchy. Based on books I've read, finding meaning in their work, either locally (how it helps the company) or globally (how does my work serve…
I believe that the proper response to this is to limit the percentage of hospital wards that can be devoted to COVID 19 cases, as the main effect of low vaccination rates is that the hospitals get too full. And…
One of the most sure fire ways to accomplish nothing is too judge yourself based on your accomplishments. The other leading cause of procrastination, according to modern learning research, is too give up when…
When you say "fixed", I assume you mean that the traumatized brain is returned to a state where a person can learn and experience positive emotions. In most cases, I would argue that it's probable, yes, but I'm not an…
Political positions can be literally any point of view. Will I be allowed to have a gun free workplace, for example, when I am required to hire people who believe in sovereign citizen movements? Will we be forced to…
There are a number of people who are "originalists" on the court. People who believe that they have a special understanding of the founders. A belief that they, at a minimum, channel the ideals through some kind of…
Appeal to hypocrisy and name calling. Every statement you made was either logically fallacious or just verbal abuse.
Anxiety will do it too. So will hypervigilance, which presents with ADHD like symptoms but arises from trauma.
I am one of them. I have three in the house, mostly for future parts. I have been gaming for 35 years, and in the 15 of those where I have played first person shooters, no controller compares. Even when I'm playing…
At a minimum, this is a false dichotomy. Stopping for a moment to think creatively, there are many alternatives. Many of those alternatives would probably serve human welfare better than what we have today. Living in…
