Note: I only skimmed over the article. I've also thought about this subject, and about the reasons we haven't solved world hunger, aren't living on the moon, don't have people on Mars, aren't able to live for 200+ years and haven't reached

If you're not already, it sounds like you'd be interested in the Buddhist philosophy which, at it's core, states that attachment is suffering and that removing said attachment is the path to liberation.

The real question is - would you have been able to detach from your television distraction if you didn't have that time away from it? Personally, I find that going through periods of scarcity provides unique benefits because it proves, with

I suppose that you would have stood up for slave owners back when that was legal? IP is an oxymoron and the law is wrong.

On the other hand, holding the belief that everyone is morally identical is even more naive.

I decided to take some time and read the sections on the climate being a chaotic system and, frankly, I'm still thoroughly unconvinced that it isn't one. The main argument against it being a chaotic system is that the climate is a boundary

Right, so there was a grand minima between 1645-1715, which has been widely attributed to the last mini-ice age and yet there is no way that this one can do the same because our models do not predict it, even though our models couldn't pred

Live code changes... so what? Two screen editing... again, so what? I can replicate this behavior by having an editor on one screen and a browser in the other, make changes, hit F5. Not to mention the huge amount of features you lose by usi

Ugh, I came into contact with Business Bullshit today where my manager didn't want to warn our customers after we found that one of our sites was installing malware on their computers because it could hurt profits.

I managed to resolve my depression/anxiety with magnesium, 5-HTP and Rhodiola Rosea. I've also had huge realisations about how simple most mental health problems are, when approached from the perspective of removing the cause as opposed to

Actually, I was making the opposite side of the same point. Personally, I consider the existing abstractions to be as irrational as these new ones. It seems, to me, that people are hugely over-complicating life while arguing that survival i

The universe also doesn't respect owning property. Saying that an arbitrary collection of atoms (a chair) belongs to another arbitrary collection of atoms (a human) is delusion pure and simple. It's just a delusion that a lot of arbitrary c

I think that zero-tolerance policing does absolutely nothing to tackle crime, it only drives it deeper underground, or to other places. In order to stop a weed from growing, you do not cut it whenever it grows past an arbitrary point, you t

Economic sanctions against people who don't want their life to be work? The logic actually makes some twisted sense - "Oh, you don't want to work all the time? Well you're not getting any work at all then." Personally, I'd give preference t

There's nothing special about getting something like that done. There's nothing special about people who spend time on that kind of stuff either, save for the fact that they spend time on it. It's not difficult to be at the top, what's diff

Yes, get rid of punishment. In the context of the bigger picture, people commit crimes either out of a need for resources or because of mental illness. The former is easily solved if we pull our collective heads out of our collective asses

It's simply a lack of contradiction. If murder is considered bad then murdering to prevent murder is an injustice. If kidnapping is considered negative then taking people away and putting them in cages is an injustice. In other words, it's

"The job of law enforcement is to prevent crime, to detain criminal suspects and to gather evidence." Unfortunately, the job of law enforcement is in fact to enforce the law. The same law which is written by people you don't know and are no

Kind of sad that we're developing crutches to cope with, instead of addressing, social anxiety. Ofcourse, there's a counter-point that we use mechanical engineering to cope with our physical weakness instead of developing our muscles. A fur

Note that this is Yamamoto's interpretation of what two other people said, not their explanation of what they said. I was merely offering an alternative interpretation.

From the Hagakure: '"Matters of great concern should be treated lightly." Master lttei commented, "Matters of small concern should be treated seriously."' I always took this to mean that matters of great concern are anxieties, which should
