@alexeyguzey >he forgot n!

[wiseposting aficionado @enjoyer_math]

@alexeyguzey do you actually believe this? we can talk in great detail about yudkowsky's character, his failings, the resulting catastrophes, etc., but it's hard to read his ~2010 writing and say "this is motivated sophistry that he came up with post-hoc." it is actually honest writing afair

@alexeyguzey this might be a cardiologist thing

@alexeyguzey i am math student. i have not found this to be true so far

@RichardHanania i am rich. it feel slightly more expensive to eat well than to eat badly, but not terribly.
afaict there are "food deserts" I've heard of, but I would trust you if you declared this was misleading/propaganda. i haven't done the research

@PrinceVogel maybe can be useful if well-targeted. like "did this specific instance of a social ritual I just performed make you feel uncomfortable"

[wiseposting aficionado @enjoyer_math]

@Plinz then and only then explain WHY YOU TAUGHT THEM LIKE THIS, the connection between the words and symbols you've taught them, and the objects they've manipulated. the smart ones will have figured it out themselves, the others will have an inkling which the explanation elaborates

[wiseposting aficionado @enjoyer_math]

@Plinz counting first. addition as generalization of counting, with objects. multiplication as generalization of addition, with grids. euclid's algorithm with discrete objects, then fractions. don't teach them how to add fractions, make them figure it out themselves

@Aron_Adler @dotnetschizo oh absolutely. this is irrelevant to what he had to say

@Noahpinion . high social mobility elitist communitarism, former kraterocracy, dueling still legal

. Christian capitalism, very little regulation, extremely strict behavioral norms expected to (and largely succeed at) restraining the madness of profit-seeking

. Pre Holocaust European Jewry

@Noahpinion this is so easy
