Makes sense to me. Two things with the same connections to other things are the same thing. Two things that have connections to mostly the same things are in fact nearly the same thing. A chopstick behaves like a chopstick because it is mos

Absolutely. I have a comp sci degree, I was able to obtain first class results by learning intensively for an average of two months before each set of exams (having not attended any lectures at all). I also went from a D grade in maths GCSE

I tentatively agree with you. Although I am a parent and my child will be going to school - I do feel that the rail road that takes you from childhood to productive adult under the tutelage of the state is fundamentally a coercive one. It i

This is so yummy. Wonder if you could do something similar with 3D printed shapes. Using static or something - design the shape of the elements to express an uneven surface charge and then design a range of such shapes to express a composit

I agree with you. I just cannot understand where people are coming from when they rush to defend the hierarchical organisation of society. It's just like you've attacked their religion.

No they don't. Pointing in the vague direction of an exemplar system and describing it a positive argument does not constitute an argument.

Hierarchical systems do NOT scale well. If you want to scale something it needs to be distributed and in human terms that means equality, action by consensus, local decision making. The properties of the system must emerge from the global r

"The world these children will inhabit as adults will be a familiar one, a world that has been part and parcel of their childhood." The adult world does not live up to this ideal - at all.

Yes. But when they work - they work. Spending half the day on facebook is not productive.

I know. I am so fucking angry no one told me this. I am a creative person I become very depressed without creative control. I had no idea programming was going to be this way and now I am stuck in a life of boring drudgery, wasting my life

We are what normal people rely on to get the computer to do things that they find difficult. Things are getting so complex for us that we find it difficult to service the requests. Solution: We need someone to help us to solve the problems.

No one is going to listen to this - but what the hell: The solution is totally obvious. The code we write has a form defined by it's input->output mapping over all possible inputs. Write a function and you immediately define this in

Why do we insist on character worship. Hyperloop is not his idea - it's a totally obvious idea that has popped up many times since the 1800s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperloop#Historical Compressing the air

I had a similar thing. imho: More than likely you are pushing your feelings away - it's a cognitive style. Try to listen to the physical sensations of everyday life, eating, talking, etc. Possibly get some therapy...

If there was a competition to find the craziest idea that will one day be found to be true - I'd pick panspermia. Although all life being descended from tardigrade cancer is a little out there even for me.
