@ThomasAlxDmy You don’t seem to understand that SpaceX will be worth more than the rest of Earth if we accomplish our goals

Aging kills roughly 110,000 people every day.

Yet because it is universal and its victims die one at a time, we consider it normal and tolerable.

If any other disease killed 110,000 people a day, we’d call it an apocalypse and reorganize civilization to stop it.

One hour of brainrot per day accumulates to over 5 years of your waking life redirected away from fulfilling activities. Replace even half of it with focused upskilling and your life starts bending in a different direction.

To the extent that it is: it is doing it better and more ethically than schools ever could.

To the extent that it is not: it should.

Capitalism gave every child in India access to the internet. Statism took it away from every child in the country that invented capitalism.

@DanBurmawy “while in education, where our rivals from their very cradles by painful discipline seek after manliness, in Athens we live exactly as we please, and yet are just as ready to encounter every legitimate danger.” – Pericles.

I'm with Pericles, not Schreber.

@theRealYLH Chanakya was an Indian. The terms India/indian and Pakistan/pakistani are more ideological than geographical.

The recent foul murder by a Sikh was an outlier: in aggregate, Sikhs are less violent than the general population of Britain. (And Hindus less still.) @grok please verify.

Fucking luminous bro. My phone writes me poetry. My car drives me home. We made vaccines for cancer and rockets that land. I wake here, again, at the foredawn undimming. The light can rise faster, if you meet it.

Rationality is not a matter of possessing truth.

It is a process of identifying problems, criticising existing ideas, and creatively constructing better ones. This basic programme is remarkably universal.

It can be applied to science, philosophy, politics, engineering, business, and private life.

Historically, something like this attitude became increasingly prominent during the Reformation and later in the Anglo-Dutch Enlightenment, when people began to criticise long-standing beliefs (especially religious ones) rather than accepting them on the authority of others.

Since then, this critical attitude has spread into many domains.

Scientists criticise theories.

Entrepreneurs criticise products.

Philosophers criticise arguments.

Individuals criticise their own decisions and habits.

This, I think, is where the mechanistic picture of rationality goes wrong.

Rationality is not primarily about holding the right beliefs or making the right predictions.

Those things may happen as a consequence of rational inquiry, but they are not what make it rational.

Rationality is the process of creating explanations, exposing them to criticism, and improving them when problems are found.

Knowledge grows not because we possess truth, but because we are able to find and correct errors.

Unironically this.

Sit there without technology (clothes, heating, shelter) for more than an hour and see how much you enjoy the view.

Nature is only beautiful from a safe distance.

Paul is a future Nobel prize winner.

For context, he demonstrated what Einstein tried to do for years, that there is no spooky action at a distance in quantum mechanics.

It's *HUGE*. Any donations go a very long way.

@tomhyde_ I would devour this book.
