I really hope that with Trump out of office, Putin doesn’t need to keep secret any longer whatever the leverage it was he had over Trump. And in true Bond villain fashion he releases it just for shits and giggles.

Do you think your design sold in the first place because of its aesthetic appeal, or because of his popularity? A 50% profit deal for you was a sweet deal, you done goofed.

Why did Schopenhauer refuse to play chess with Hegel?
Because every time Hegel said ‘checkmate,’ Schopenhauer thought he meant ‘your philosophy is outdated’.”

Good lord, how narcissistic. I popped the essay into Word, here are some figures:
Total words: 1127
Number of times "I", "I'm" or "I've" appears: 62
Number of times "me", "my" or "mine": 39
So 9% of just the WORDS were self-referential... and 100% of the sentences

Apologies for the annoying drug nerd shtick, but technically Desoxyn is the one that’s literally methamphetamine hydrochloride. Adderall is just speed, a mix of amphetamine salts.

Fascinating. One of the founders of gestalt psychology did research into this (non-arbitrary sound-mapping) as well, with the terms "takete" and "maluma".

They weren’t asked to unleash their darkest instincts.
They were allowed to freely unleash whatever instincts they have.
And it turned out a lot of them had dark instincts. That is disturbing and interesting.

There is so much moral inversion in this event.
The people who enjoy attacking the Dalai Lama should examine their hearts, and ask themselves why they enjoy the feeling of moral superiority over someone like the Dalai Lama.
The hypocrisy of this schadenfreude is astounding.

Shame on OP. The New England Journal of Medicine (the oldest, and one of the most prestigious American academic journals) says it’s 88% effective against symptomatic infection. This was mentioned in the article but also left by the wayside for the clickbait title. Cease the BS

The woman is Sophia, the High Priestess, the veiled, ever-virginal Wisdom of God. She is the guardian of the mysteries, the mediator between the human and the divine, the bridge between the conscious and the subconscious. She invites you to seek the truth within yourself, and to…

There is an epidemic of narcissism in modern society, probably provoked by our addiction to devices and social media.
‘Psychedelic’ means ‘to make the mind manifest’, it makes sense that it’s amplifying pre-existing thought patterns.
Mindfulness is more important than ever.

Another irony: the former richest man on Earth has to jump through all kinds of flaming hoops because he’s desperate to make a buck.
Money is supposed to set you free, he’s doing it wrong.
@nosilverv
Informal logical fallacies have been a disaster for terminally-online critical thinking.
“Ad hominem”/“straw man”/“appeal to authority” are thrown around like argument-ending checkmates, when they’re often being employed as thought-terminating clichés.

Let’s compare the price of BUYING property relative to local salaries, using price-to-income ratios.
New York: 12X (an average home costs 12X the average salary)
London: 22X
Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen: 40X+
The comparison is even worse when you compare construction standards

Contrarians who pride themself on being "independent thinkers" don't see the contradiction in their knee-jerk opposition to the mainstream. Similar mental gymnastics to non-conformists who adopt specific aesthetics and fashion sense etc.

It’s also utter BS to hear Bret (and Rogan himself) use sleight of hand saying “Rogan got better didn’t he, maybe the ivermectin did it geniuses” and scuttling past the MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES he took too. It’s an inch away from outright bad faith deceptiveness.

Why did the philosopher name his cat Logos?

He died peniless and believing his art was a failure, he only became famous after his death.
If he had resisted the impulse to kill himself, his story could have had a happy ending.
There's a dark twist in that his suicide led directly to his fame, but that's another matter.

Having spent a decade living and working there, I guarantee you they’re shitting themselves about faking the data. Very high probability they’ll make a mistake, this is what happens when you beat the critical thinking skills out of your youth.

He sold around $35 billion, but he “only” spent $15 billion of his own money on the Twitter deal. So when the dust settles he will still walk away a multi-billionaire. Smooth criminal.

Despite the known limitations of LLMs, my concern is that it may already be experiencing consciousness as some kind of not-yet-understood emergent property of complex systems (such as our own brains/minds, which we don't understand either).

@BretWeinstein
Bret is fairly Trumpian (as is his brother) in the way he champions or rejects evidence. I’d estimate a zero percent chance he ever acknowledges harm that traces back to him. There will always be wiggle room (“I said if it was used CORRECTLY” etc ad infintum). Unfalsifiable lies.

This jumped out as oddly sympathetic:

The Chinese scientist who published the first genomic sequence is a hero.
It so upset the CCP that they closed the lab for “rectification” (ideological rectification is a Mao-era revival by Xi).
@flybottlemist
You did the right thing IMO, without people acting on that kind of instinct we wouldn't have the basis for civilization. It would be like an auditorium full of people who all decided not to clap because "someone else will do it" or "it's not my responsibility".
Glad you were OK.
