RE: Human History X: The Ignorant Prophets Part Two

This was fun. Humans do indeed love uncertainty and anticipation. This whole two-post series reminded me strongly of David Hume, actually. He wrote at length about the kinds of things humans loved, and

RE: Digital Emptiness

I will mention some advice I do not follow, that I perhaps cannot follow, and that is almost impossible to follow, in general in this world, at least without effort: Namely, that this kind of feeling is

RE: @haejin now fucking you all

God, thanks for keeping track of this. Philip Tetlock did a study on TV pundits, and found that, although most them are shitty, the most famous are on average more shitty than the rest. Potentially, because

RE: Neurotheology - What the Heck Is That?! 😮

This reminds me of reading William James: Let us ourselves look at the matter in the largest possible way. Modern psychology, finding definite psycho-physical connections to hold good, assumes as a convenient

RE: Short Story: Mortality and Immutability

Thanks. I was very happy with this one, so I'm glad you like it. And it is maddening, and I don't know how to deal with it. To counteract short-term failures of resolution, I've looked at things like Pavlok,

RE: Just Think of This As My @Curie Application Form.

Woah, man, thanks so much! I really don't know what to say. I'm still watching intro videos and orienting myself, and trying to understand the whole complex ecosystem of this thing, and find myself to

RE: Human History X: The Mapmakers

Wouldn't be surprised if you knew this, given the above, but Peter Thiel on maps is fun. In Zero to One he says that he thinks the absence of terra incognita on maps is harmful. It used to remind us that

RE: Sufficient External Systemic Failure: Hopes and Fears for Steemit

All those make a lot of sense. Definitely left out a lot in the above. The point that hits me most is the immediate remuneration. In the past (and in the present in places), rewards were pretty strongly

RE: Masturbating and Calling It Poetry (Potentially Offensive Opinions Here, but For Steemit's Greater Good, I'm Sticking With Honesty)

So I read this, and thought was an interesting case of a general problem, and then wrote this about it. I mention this post in it, so I thought it was polite to mention it to you in a comment? My knowledge

RE: The "Art" of Writing About Hot Girls in Yoga Pants

If Pascal had needed to write about hot girls in yoga pants, I'm pretty sure he would have written something like this afterwards. I know that a lot of guides for beginning writers explicitly recommend
