First and foremost - suspend any disbelief about whether you can solve it. This is hugely important. If it has a solution and you are going to be able to solve it, then it needs your full undivided attention and focus and motivation in orde

I think this is mostly just correlation, and the more direct tie is in the economic demographic. River drainage basins generally go like this - the affluent demographic live on the upstream side of the city, the poor demographic live on the

It's probably a good idea to use an RO filter regardless. It's a very straightforward way to reduce toxins directly entering your body. Virtually everything is now contaminated with environmental toxins, and we're effectively

Looking for a very specific set of things or type of resume is a huge oversight. Very few people are going to know what you're looking for, and anyone competent doesn't value their time so little to micropolish their resume for ex

Repeated sessions of deep concentration in a particular subject or problem over a prolonged period clearly creates neural growth. I've tackled several extremely complex projects in my life, and in each case I found that I became increa

Not only is there strong evidence for exactly that (lack of empathy) to be the case, those who work with autistic people commonly observe it. Moreover, it's now recognized that it may be related to mirror neuron development issues: ht

10,000 hours may be a vague rule of thumb, but it says nothing about what is going on, and it's not just a matter of practicing. Learning, knowledge, wisdom, etc. all come from neural growth over time - your brain responds to thinking&

He annoys me a lot, too. His positions on human health, and human progress, are fundamentally flawed. The article talks about a common analytical mistake in many of his arguments. But in virtually everything I (try to) read by him, I find s

This is a ridiculous and fundamentally flawed proposition. The obvious omissions and lack of consideration of other factors threatening the planet belies this author's bias/naivete/stupidity/other motivations. First, the

Not quite sure what the motivation of this article is here, because the author (likely intentionally) dodges calling out that he's making a distinction between the pure definition of extinct meaning no more individuals of a species bei

I've run across a number of not just anecdotal accounts of long longevity, good health and lack of disease in a number of different indigenous cultures. I get the uncomfortable feeling that we are persistently and myopically comparing

Bought a car with free SiriusXM subscription. I listened to a few stations a number of times - pretty good selection, but really didn't use it much. After the trial period, started getting calls from them. I (regretfully) accepted a di

The "right" startup - one that is bootstrapped, has a successful product idea, a good founder, competent employees, and equity - is almost always a better choice than the big firm. That's because you'll get to wear all h

Apart from that one comment, the remainder of this article - the vast majority of it - was a well presented argument about why the original post was flawed. That comment was obviously just an aside

We clearly think in ways that aren't available to the conscious parts of the mind, read most any Oliver Sachs or VS Ramachandran book for clear evidence of that. But what part this plays in specific problem solving isn't clear. An

I'd agree part of the problem is the widespread "buy the most house for the lowest price" phenomenon, which infects many other aspects of our society beyond shopping for homes, but far and away the primary problem here has li

Messi is doing several things in the referenced video. First, he's staying wide (almost to the touchline) which is drawing the 2 defenders towards him. This increases the open space for attack, but more importantly it betters the overa
