@dwarkesh_sp You'd still get two sexes even if there were no mitochondria. Assymetric investment in offspring is optimal : if both parents invest little, offspring dies. Both invest a lot is not game-theoretically stable. So one invests a lot, one very little, two sexes. CF red queen book

You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but you can judge a person by the covers of their books

If you always find it easy to express your thoughts, maybe your thoughts aren't ambitious enough

@HarryStebbings So being first does matter 99% of the time and people do have defensibility on day 1? Clever phrasing!

@desirepaths_ Just that taking medicine means accepting that you are not and therefore will not always be able to get out of suffering on your own/without any external help

[afterthought @brunoooob]

@desirepaths_ To be clear, I don't mean you have to solve the whole metaphysical question of suffering before you allow yourself to feel better, or that taking the medicine will necessarily induce more suffering in the future.

@TheObserverAU @wiki_early_life Say you want to find your best match in a group of people, and match quality is normally distributed. The relationship between group size and best match is sublinear, but finding the best match has linear cost. Hence increasing group size quickly hits diminishing returns.

[afterthought @brunoooob]

@desirepaths_ Maybe a sense that the way out of suffering has to be universal, available to all and at all times. Taking medicine now means accepting you may suffer even more in the future, and there might be no escape then. That is scary

"School prepares for the alienating institutionalization of life by teaching the need to be taught. "
