About a decade ago I became a fan of the young Japanese drum prodigy Kanade Sato. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYpFL08m5fQ This lead to me learning the amazing fact that Japanese has 4 writing systems: kanji, hiragana, k

I think the people who pushed to remove Pluto's status made a mistake by focusing on new discoveries. They should have told the whole story forward, starting with the thousands of years before the telescope was invented, then the gradu

Question from a non-techy: if today someone who is a non-techy wants to store some files on ipfs, how hard is it? A few clicks, or a day reading documents and installing software, with various ways of unintentionally fouling it up, or what

The claim that medieval people did not love their children was accepted on very scanty evidence. My understanding (correct me if I am mistaken) is that this happened at least in part because of a dogmatic believe that the idea that human na

I was explaining why people believe it. I think they are often correct in their belief. So let me ask you, have you experienced this yourself, like for a subject that you have a good knowledge of, observed someone who claims they do but is

The reason people find the DK effect persuasive is that everyone has run into this many times in their own lives. Like with an idiot boss who thinks he knows your job better than you do, or an article by someone that gets things completely

And is it your view that, in contrast, the news media in China is highly responsible?

So where do you go for reliable information on China? And what is your overall view of its government?

This idea is correct, but I am very puzzled it is presented as something knew. In 1964 William H. Mcneill won the National Book Award for The Rise of the West, and the first 2/3's of the book was about how for thousands of years t

The authors are not saying the articles are unjustly critical of America. Their criticism is that the journal publishes only articles that are critical, and none say anything good about it. So let me ask you, is it your view that everything

And that is not all. Spoken speech moves up and down in pitch, and in a rhythm, and no doubt that is at least much of the basis of music.

One reason the government surveillance is important is I've read there is a growing movement among the right-to-lifers to hold women who abort criminally liable.

"Humans are simply NOT designed to _be_ happy, we are designed to _search_ for happiness." If that were true, then all humans and the people in all cultures would be equally unhappy. And everyone would be equally unhappy all the t

"make a multiyear purchasing decision based upon recent events" You have this all backwards. The fact is that for many decades petroleum is an unreliable energy source due to geopolitical factors, but people have been pretending t

Can you give me some numbers? Like how many students were there 30 years ago, and how many now?

Ok, but the question still remains, how is it going to get up to the required speed? And in a way that is practical for a passenger plane?

Interesting, but assuming they can get the engine to work as intended, the question still remains how the passenger jet would get up to Mach 5 so the engine can start working. A solid-fuel rocket booster that would then drop off?

The focus of the article is on why Japanese corporations excel at so many different areas. Are you saying that all the factors it mentions, like employees being trained as generalists, life-time and so on, are completely irrelevant? or are

The article mentions software as an area where the Japanese don't excell doesn't work.

Remember how fossil fuel promoters always say its big advantage over solar and wind energy is reliability?

There are various causes. One is that live performing has pretty much died as a source of income. Venues have closed because of rising rents and fewer customers, due to covid and people in general staying home and spending their time on soc

This is so speculative. I think the first step in determining why some people believe they are much more competent than they really are would be to interview them on how they came to believe it. I think the fact that the author thinks this

Was the article flat out wrong or at least misleading in any way that might lead people to make poor decisions regarding which drug to take?

I agree. And modern Western science and political thought has followed Aristotle far more than Plato. In particular, the parts of Aristotle's science that got thrown out was the result of following out his empirical method further than
