I love that the Malaysian Airlines chess app:
a) has a tutorial in case you've never played before, but
b) has no difficulty slider, so only plays at master level, and
c) has xbox controller button icons for its touchscreen interface

EAs get that many people use racism to make up reasons why immigrantion is bad and call it not-racism.
We should expect most to do the same for alt-proteins even at price parity. "Authentic" will likely be code for "don't worry, we really killed for you, you're still dominant".

@Kirsten3531 @kenthecowboy_ oh yikes, this is more hilarious/terrible than I thought. I was imagining "I don't want to travel much", not "I have open resentment for others".

@spephton Very cool album. I will consider it.

So many metaphors of "light vs darkness", "warmth" as feeling good. We die without it. We get food from it, most power from it, orient time around it. It's my header image for a reason. Praise the sun!

[Robin Hanson @robinhanson]

If you wanted to worship something big, powerful, ancient, and nurturing, hard to see a better option than the Sun. So its actually a bit odd to see people ever worship anything else. Is it the Sun's constancy what they hold against it?
