The only thing I subjectively see in the value of music is the lengthy amount of time that the formalism of it's language has survived. Otherwise I typically listen to the same songs on repeat until they have turned into a drone like n

I already agree with you and I have from the start. I have no interest in talking, because it is obvious that I can not communicate effectively and fluidly, on the internet. Thank you for the conversation, but this is the same circle of tho

What if my belief has always defaulted on silence, no thought? It's just the opposite of the confidence in always yielding a conclusion. When I work with science, I ere on the side of hesitance, and I always believe that hesitence will

I wasn't directing that at you, just in general. I really do try to create one part of an intelligent dialogue on these forums, but it is incredibly frustrating to have experienced variations of ways of perceiving information, without

I don't think you understand that you can't control what information and processes are dynamically influenced and what components are static and unchanging. The methodology of science can be subject to the same level of analytical

Measurements that are qualitative are much more tricky to deal with than quantitative measurements. When I read words like 'hollow self esteem' I feel like I am reading a poem, not scientific data. Hollow self esteem means 's

Have they ever done this study on people who have never drank alcohol and are healthy? It seems biased that the only group of 'non-drinkers' are people that are former drinkers.

I don't agree with that. If you understand the mathematics and computational foundations, then you already have the depth of programming languages in an abstract form. You might choose to pick up new languages because you want to learn

I don't think people are static objects. Even if you've come into contact with one of these "types" of people, chances are that they are living on a meager amount of energy. When people are energy drained, they are eithe

I think that is one possible perception, but I could argue the same for the existence of 'chaos' or 'randomness' and make the same point. Do things succeed because they adapt correctly over a given time frame or do the

The upswing of awesome sounds like a great way to prepare yourself to build things that are 90% correct with a 10% catastrophic failure rate. I really try to keep a more emotionally neutral stance on all of my code and my abilities. If I wa

Thanks for writing this. Over the last 4 years I switched from studying computer science with applications in mathematics, to studying math and symbolic logic with applications in computation. I did this alone, without interacting with anyo

I am guessing because some hormonal changes in mid/elder life will kick in some kind of emotional down that is mostly fillable by children, rather than peer validation and stuff. That's what I am terrified of. Celibacy allows me t

Encyclopedias, dictionaries, and other types of reference materials often conform to a rigid and pedantically defined aesthetic. This aesthetic is more about context, appearance, intuition. Editing is an art form. Conveying meaning differs

I like to listen to my thoughts sometimes. I'm used to watching them flow with neutrality. I play the piano for meditation. A barrier can often come from asking the question "am I doing it right?" Sometimes existing out of th

I understand where you are coming from, but I'm not trying to engage you in a 'sophomoric' debate. I came to the existential philosophical argument from mathematics and the computer sciences, not the other way around. I start

Try to prove yourself wrong about believing it is better to be wrong all the time. Insanity! I agree with you for the most part. But there's a line. When it starts to destroy your personal identity and sense of self, you've crosse

In lisp, think of symbols as things that represent other things. Instead of having to evaluate each expression in the complexity that the programmer builds, everything can be substituted until the computer is left with a simple but expansiv

That won't stop the bad guys from making those tools while the good guys don't, because they are afraid their tools will be used by the bad guys. Ignorance is not a good defense strategy.
