What should an open-minded nonbeliever do to maximize the chance of seeing what's behind the curtain and find the peace you describe?

Life is absurd. Why anything exists at all is absurd. So absurd in fact I find it unconvincing that life is nothing but a large deterministic automaton without initial cause. Maybe religions are a coping mechanism for deluded people, but I

I low-key like some dress codes, as it gives me an incentive to dress well without looking like a dork, and that I can brush off as "oh it's just the company rules".

This always surprises me. How come there are seemingly zero tests for what’s essentially critical infrastructure? How do you make sure things keep working? How do you prevent regressions as team members change and tribal knowledge and intui

I have to admit I never got the “99% similar” and “octopi are so smart” thing. May sound like an ignorant meme, but if they’re really so smart and similar, why can’t they build cities or create cultures or do anything better than just survi

What would be the “me” if I were to clone myself 1:1? Would there be two “me”s? Or a the same old “me”, a single consciousness but two bodies?

All these evolutionary arguments (e.g. “head of penis is shaped as such to clean out semen of competitors”) all sound conveniently convincing, but I’m curious if there’s any data validating them? It’s easy to shoehorn any number of plausibl

For me honestly it's one of the (many) things I dislike the most about Ruby. Sure, I understand the "elegant" aspect, two symbols are shortened to one (although I'd argue that's not that important when it comes to c
