I do not understand what you would expect from research work. Do you expect that research work in mathematics be written in such a way that any lay person could understand it? Or computer science? Physics? Biology? I would assume that the a

I think that you actually understood the point perfectly! I'm a native english speaker, and to me, it looks like he is trying to raise the exact ambiguities that you are asking about. I don't think that his statement is meant to b

It's also just cruel. Twitter employees must be feeling immense whiplash. First they were being bought out, then they weren't, then they were again, then a huge change in work culture literally overnight, now mass layoffs. Elon Mu

I suppose that's one way to do it. I don't think that it makes any sense, but you're entitled to it. I do believe, however, that you are disregarding tens of thousands of principled researchers who have spent their life on th

I don't think that your assertion makes sense in its own context. What you are saying is that "SPD" exists, and "ADHD" is just a modern rebranding of it. But why do you decide that "SPD" is the spot at whi

This is true, as a broad statement at least. I can claim no expertise in the area, so I can't comment on the potential to reverse any such changes. It is also possible that they are not caused by negative life experiences, and are some

No, they are different things. I am honestly quite confused as to how you could think that they were the same thing. They both exist as a constellation of separate diagnostic criteria, for example, and the internal phenomenology of both is

Why does a company need to be a monopoly in order to break them up? In an "ought to" sense, that is. Facebook has facilitated/amplified quite a bit of awful things that have lead to real world violence, most particularly outs

These are different things. They may share some overlapping symptoms, perhaps even some similar brain changes, but the internal phenomenology of them are quite different. They are not exclusive, but nor are they the same thing.

Many human cultures have existed and thrived without the basis that "producing significantly more power" is the reason to do things. Our archaeology and history have had trouble grasping this, since the idea that power is its own

"The limitations are of the author's rational reasoning, not of rational reasoning itself. You can reason about what brings you pleasure, and make rational decisions to pursue it." This is just kicking the can down the road.

The Venn diagram of C-levels who are willing to work at a company with an inherently predatory business model, and those who will lay people off and screw them over is basically a circle. It is impossible for someone who leads a company lik

"Its a matter of knowing where to find the place that can treat you." This is fine if you can plan in advance and have the funds to travel, but what if you can't? What if you're in a car accident, or have a heart attack?

I don't agree that this is "precisely" why insurance and care is so expensive. Other countries do this just fine. The main reason that it's so expensive in the US is because we have for-profit insurance companies whos in

"US and UK are libertarian" Can you elaborate on why you believe this? I don't see any way that the US and the UK are Libertarian, unless the definition of that word is stretched massively.

Agreed. I think that any complaints from tech executives about “coddled” employees are simply cover. Unless and until they also cut their own massive salaries and stock benefit plans, it’s all just additional warfare on the people who actua

It's possible that your information is flagged in a third-party risk monitoring system that these companies all use. Perhaps something like ThreatMetrix, from LexisNexis. There are others that operate in this space as well. As for how

While it's true that individual consumers make choices like this, it's not fair to blame individuals for systemic problems. If a person making a low wage is given the choice between feeling good about supporting local business, an
