Why argue much about a single level of simulation when you could instead try the majesty of an infinite tower of simulations within simulations. Why would it stop at a single level ? What is the nature of consciousness within a simulated un

I find that when I remember, and remember to keep on focusing on a visual metaphor I have for running form and economy the perceived effort doesn't change but suddenly you're going 1 or 2 minutes per mile faster. It's absolut

Agreed about Lost in Music. One of my absolute favourite songs anyway, and then Mark E Smith-ified. It's louche and grand, and rakish and whimsical. I saw the Fall 3 times, the first being at a festival when I wandered into a tent at r

I want to know who exactly did this, on whose instructions, and why right now.

There's a chap who can sometimes be seen driving/riding his C5 around the cycle paths here in Edinburgh. Big thumbs up.

This song was always way better than the other SAW output IMHO. Great song, endearing performance - it's not just audio of <someone> singing it's this video of cheerful Rick singing and bopping around.

Remnote. Previously Zettlr and Markor. My markdown files with their links imported and worked straight away. That, plus the spaced repetition was perfect for me. Also the export to markdown (which does then work in Zettlr) is good. I like t

Yes it will, because the UK is hosting the United Nations Climate Change Conference in 2021 at which a lot of vital decisions will be made or ratified.

The most efficient way for me, without making a job out of it, is to rely on BBC Radio 6 Music. Across the station's output, varying by show of course, there is a baked in flow of curated new music, and music new to me. Depends entirel

Probably yes eventually but we are very much on the smallest of the foothills as yet in our understanding or technology. We don't know what we don't know. Multiple worlds within worlds in terms of the interactions between informat

This might be the most valuable discussion I've ever seen on the internet. So much great information, people reaching out and connecting.

I'm very sorry. "Begin again" could well be the best advice anyone could ever give or receive.

Please do be physically safe if you do swim. Swim with someone, make it short, and read up on cold shock and "after drop".

I'm in Edinburgh too :) The sky is certainly gloomy today! In case of any interest there's a swimming group through which people organise - "the wild ones" on FB. I'm going along to a swim later today and there was

Running with people is even better than running alone if it's an option for you. Communities like "Park Run" and "Good Gymn" and no doubt many others multiply the benefits of simply running.

Yes absolutely - cold showering is great in the same ways. There are plenty people out there who do this every day also. Personally I prefer a cold bath to a cold shower as I like the instant hit of more full immersion, but there's not

I swim in cold water, every day if possible and ideally before work in the morning. This has been a game changer in terms of reducing anxiety, being much better able to cope with difficulties and frankly, making me into a much happier and h

A (quick, 60 second) swim in the cold sea. You would not believe how good this makes you feel, both immediately and for longer when done consistently. A rare, genuine game changer.
