Yeah, now that I think about it, almost everyone does this in some form or another. I would even argue that making your business look nice (like a well furnished bar, etc) has the same type of effect. You go in, it looks nice, and you feel

Every evil person out there, this is your road to salvation. Just say it was a lesson and fully expose every way you've exploited the system and the way others can do the same. Actually, isn't this a common thing? Where people get

No, you are jumping on threads one after the other to promote your product. This is going to backfire on you if you keep doing it.

If there weren't pathways for the application of scientific knowledge to people's needs, there wouldn't be as much funding for it. Science thrives today because people have used it to solve many problems, which generates mass

In the old days a master was responsible for those under him. People were owned, they were not viewed as people with their own agency. Anything bad they did was treated as a sign that their master failed in disciplining them properly. With

My subjective experience of flow states[1] makes me believe this is true. In these states thinking feels much less discrete (which is something language seems to impose) and more continuous. Any programmer knows what this feels like when yo
