Well then you are getting better at applying logic blindly.

by luketych 10y ago
Again, you are cherrypicking any flaw you see and then attacking. For a logically-trained person you are misusing it. Being overly logical can become a negative when it is used to justify your already-held beliefs. I do not care what you th

Very correct. Cooking also breaks down starches into sugars. And we are the cooking species. It helped drive our evolution forward. It all seems to be about balance.

What I am trying to say is that if we close our minds right away then we will miss obvious answers. We will tend to overcomplicate things and reach for our most-expensive tools. I've read "scientific" articles that make use o

The French also don't snack all the time, and also cook many of their own meals.

I get annoyed when people stop a discussion dead in its tracks by asking for references like this, especially when they can easily look it up themselves if they actually cared about the answer rather than winning. If you think about it, any

We evolved near the equator. There are more sweet things there year-round. Don't forget about honey. Fiber, fiber, fiber. Sugar seems to be okay when it is packaged together with its copartner, fiber.

"People basically evolved without any sugar (fructose) except what they could get in fruit" What about honey? Edit: don't forget that sugar is in every plant that makes use of photosynthesis.

Oh come on.. Nutrition is not that complicated. It only looks complicated because we are looking too closely at the details, resulting in myopia. We are overthinking it. For hundreds of thousands of years people didn't even know what a

So what you are saying is that we should censor who we are when we are on the web? For some reason that sounds wrong. The web should adapt to us, not the other way around. That is one of the big things wrong with the web and the world today

Yeah well Paul Graham is also losing touch. A massive policeforce doesn't scale.

There are extremes on both ends. Somewhere in the middle the truth lies.

Over many hours of awareness and training I would agree. But at the end of the day the elephant calls the shots, not the rider. Unless we learn to influence the beast more and more, and in all areas of our lives. P.S. Is it just me who love

All people are immature. Maybe we should stop trying to hide that, acting all proper. I talk that way as well, it's better than censwhoring your thoughts 24/7. All people are also racist and those who say they arent usually are th

Does that include the episode on Top Gear that was scripted into breaking their Tesla down in the middle of a test run? According to your logic, 3 percent of scientists deny global warming, so that is a statistic we should take seriously as

Yes. Everyone does from time to time. Perhaps if we learned to speak in a less authoritative way more people would take our views seriously..

I think you need to have a better understanding of how to talk to people without sounding like a dick.

Google should also just target retail use cases and kill amazon.

Man that author is spreading so much ignorance. He is a defeatist. He didn't figure out how to stand properly so now he is on some mission to justify his own failure. Standing desks are not the answer unless you have good standing post

Go with whatever works consistently and your can trust. So don't use a piece of shit like evernote, for example. This is where paper-based systems can shine (until you can build your OWN digital system). Can't even count how many

Get a mini binder that fits in your pocket. You can use it like a notebook, and also take the pages out and use like index cards. Took me 3 godndamn years to think of that lol.

btilly I did not mean to fight you, I am sorry for coming off in a manor. What I mean to say is that meditation works for everyone, even though there are many people who have tried it and concluded that it does not work for them. But we k

P.S. This does NOT mean we have to live our lives like robots! The goal is to have a system that frees our minds, allowing us to be ourselves. I would argue that running around, forgetting to do things, or trying to balance more than a few

I have spent over 23 minutes writing this, wtf is wrong with me? : In my own (slightly bizarre) experience, it's more about the habits than the "fancy checklist" system. It's more than a checklist system, more than a cal

As you should. It's not my job to sell Gtd to you. But I have to challenge your emotional intelligence if you let other peoples' enthusiasm cloud your own view.

GTD IS for everyone. All GTD is, is acknowledging how our brains function at a very fundamental level, and then building a trustable system around that. Why can't create tasks work in GTD? GTD methodology doesn't say that you HAVE
