The main challenge is that the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for impulse control and other things, only fully develops around age 25. The problem with that is without some explicit instruction or guidance or invention before they

This makes sense - as Paul Graham mentioned in his essay from January [1] “outrage means traffic”. No-one gets more outraged than left leaning viewers watching Trump videos. [1] https://paulgraham.com/woke.html

Fair enough, but is the notion that some of the time, in a company that explicitly promotes DEI, that a person is there not entirely based on merit, evil and stupid? Serious question.

This is a great start, well done! Eventually it would be amazing to import (for example) a buck converter circuit with a wide voltage input, fixed output suitable for RF, and have it automatically check available components at JLCPCB and th

One of my favourite stories is of George Lemaître who came up with the Big Bang theory, and predicted the Higgs Boson - while Steven Hawkins bet against it, and was proved wrong. George Lemaître was a Catholic Priest.

I too have the same problem. I’m really good at starting things, and unless I find someone or some important reason to complete it, I seldom get there. Nowadays I try to only start projects with those in place or else I find that I don’t fi

Take a look at https://www.optimalwork.com/ I have only completed the free trial and listened to some of the podcast so far, but some of the ideas like “reframing” are game changing.

It’s never enough because you think external circumstances (your job, your income, your family) are responsible for your happiness - they are not. Being happy with the way it is has very little to do with your external circumstances and mor

The only way to be really happy is to serve others. Most of the time that means doing whatever it is that you do (working, parenting, teaching etc.) as well as you can with others in mind. Sometimes you have to do a bit more. That’s just th

I once heard someone say that depression is a spiritual problem, as in the cause lies with your relationship (or lack there of) with a higher power. I just had a thought - what if there is a biological or evolutionary quirk that believing i

Then in some way, we are in agreement. Science cannot say anything meaningful about things that don’t affect reality. Religion (or theology) concerns itself with the reason that reality exists. The purview of science is limited to phenomena

Not really - empirical science makes the assumption that nothing exists outside of the game (or at least anything that exists outside the game has to be proved from elements within the game)

The way I see it (using an analogy that necessarily oversimplifies things) is that if this existence were like a computer game, and we were the characters in it, then science attempts to understand the game, and religion (or perhaps more ac

It was a good selling point, only now it seems that vaccinations don’t prevent the spread as much as previously thought, especially the variants such as Delta variant. So it seem there won’t be any herd immunity anytime soon. https:/&

It’s strange that people seem to think that work is always a burden - try do nothing for a few weeks and see how that affects your mood. Work, while has its difficult moments, and parts that can be very tedious, is one of the greatest thing

A Laser Mosquito Turret for homes, that uses a directional microphone to home in on the target.I don’t believe that it would be difficult to build the laser part, but the difficulty would be in making it safe for home use.

The thing I wonder about, is that presumable we can control temperature, pressure, magnetism, electric currents, elements and pretty much everything we know and understand in the physical to a relatively fine degree. We can simulate most e

I’m convinced this is a result of typing on a keyboard - it seldom happens when I’m writing . I think that after a typing for a while, your brain tries to introduce some optimization, i.e. while your one finger goes for the letter ‘t’ (my l
