Everyone on Earth has a petty identity. If we allow secession just so every self-identifying group can 'rule' themselves then we encourage those petty identities when we should be discouraging them and instead…
Good, we can't allow the dissolution of nations.

I dislike most insects. So long as this doesn't impact humanity's ability to thrive on the planet I don't mind. Since we're doing just fine in the face of such significant losses in biomass I don't really worry.
I'm glad this is the top comment, because I don't often see common sense critiques of UBI that acknowledge price adjustment. We can't just print money, that is obviously going to fail as it always does. So... Will we…
Well I think the US was more justified than Pol Pot, Stalin et. al. when it engaged in violence.
They should be understood in context. The US was engaged in a war against dictatorial USSR style communism for nearly 50 years. History has shown the US to be on the right side of that conflict. Is people being killed…
That's pretty naive to say. Reagan killed (directly or indirectly) orders of magnitude fewer people than the dictators mentioned. Reagan also presided over and encouraged the advance of human civilization, while…
Gentrification is really a non issue. When areas begin to attract wealthier people, they can begin to attract nicer businesses and infrastructure as a result. So the entire neighborhood becomes nicer. Should we keep…
Survivorship bias is kind of bullshit, I mean luck does play a role in success, but the longer you work at something, as long as you have a good idea/plan of attack/all the other traits needed to succeed in a field, the…
Agreed. If you're really smart and a prick, well, then you're just a really smart prick. Intelligence and emotional mastery are divorced from one another.
Traditional procedures that balance due process and expedient justice are the solution here. Anyone who faces abuse needs to speak up to either HR in a corporate setting or the police, if appropriate.
The potential for anonymous slander is too high for a real system like this to be justified. Whispers turn to rumors which turn to falsehoods. Someone interpreted as being "creepy" in texts by one woman shouldn't have…
Good explanation here: "It’s because their products are index funds. They measure their performance by how well the track the relevant indexes, not their absolute return. If they have to not invest in stocks that make…
>“For at least 4000 years, there were settled communities but no evidence of state power” Well that doesn't mean state power isn't necessary for large scale communities. It just shows that in the thousands of years…
Seconded. Great book. The range of neural architecture that exists in nature is really fascinating and something that i think could help inform AI research.

Maybe you aren't using the accepted definition of stable? What fills the void when nations in the Middle East fall is chaos.
Yes Iran and Saudi Arabia are also exacerbating the conflict. The US has been providing support to Saudi long before the Yemen war began.
Huh? You're misrepresenting reality, which is that dogs love us and we love our dogs. It's not complicated. Now puppy mills and the like are not good, but the very concept of dog ownership is wholesome.
Ok, sounds reasonable. Why can't you just create a database and give patients visibility? And create a simple app to allow them to dynamically set who has permission to use their data?
What does 'control of their own data' mean in concrete terms?
It has everything to do with home life and environment. No classroom within the expected margins of quality can overcome a negative home life that does not value education and encourage student achievement. Wealth and…
Why does this have to be done on a blockchain? Or what is gained by building this service on a blockchain?
Seems like a modest requirement.
