I prescribe to the idea that all thought and language is metaphorical. Language and thought do exist separately but also combine in useful ways for all of us. This is why you can think of something but not find the word for it. But just loo

I enjoyed this essay and he makes some good points. There is this feeling though so much isn't said about context and results. The audience seems to be college students. I have been an avid learner since I left high school but my colle

This is my diet as well. I find my mind is clearer, especially on a whole vegetables diet. Digestion of red meats, sugar and carbs makes my concentration tank.

TL;DR I have ADHD and it made me a better person I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid. I received many different types of drugs and treatments that, IMO, didn't work. I barely passed the 3rd grade, failed the 6th grade and dropped out of scho

Ah, Yes. I use to have a strong mental model of our security infrastructure and could troubleshoot problems by just hearing the description of the issues and a couple of variables. I would literally see visual gaps where my knowledge of the

To me this just feels reaching. Sure, he does a good job of highlighting a problem but doesn't really offer any vision for a solution. But why go to Microsoft? GOOG 635.15, MSFT 31.21
