How they bite without the teeth?

5G causes Corona virus is a favourite. Most of the biblical claims but those are too obvious. Excluding religion and conspiracy theories, expensive speaker cables produce sound quality that is superior to cheap cables. Turning a phone off in an aircraft improves safety. My daughter’s teacher confidently informed me that bicycles are more dangerous than cars. That was probably the most depressing and stupid.

Good call. I can’t remember if kahneman talks about it in the book but there is a fascinating experiment on people who have had a procedure that severs the connection between the left and right hemispheres (epileptics). They exhibit the impulsive tendency to explain away sensory evidence that contradicts their previous statements. The theory is that speech centres inhabit the left brain and in the absence of a measured analysis by the right hemisphere they just make something up without apparently thinking it through.

But is it better than a big carrot? You can’t snack on silicone.

The toxic limit for alcohol is half a glass of wine per year. Literally every drink you take is causing some damage. Personally I would legalise all drugs and provide harm reduction but people are delusional about the harm any given substance causes. Most people consider LSD a hard drug because it is scheduled but it doesn’t have a toxic limit and has zero recorded fatalities. It’s actually a known therapeutic for PTSD and other conditions.

Just torrent that shit while the streaming platforms get their house in order. It’s not acceptable to be racist to Linux.

I once used a laptop in a coffee shop to write a screenplay. I had ornate facial hair and wearing a beanie. Shit was tight af. Later on I clogged their toilet.

Who’s gonna make all the technology, music, art, etc, after we’ve finally cured autism? We might have to start re-autisming people.

Excellent news. Autism finally squared away. We can dedicate our scientists to finding a cure for trumpism.

This question is redundant. Evil people choose the evil option, normal people choose the other.

Daily Zeitgeist podcast also doing some solid reportage.

Because white guys.

The Americans found an unfinished Nazi research project on LSD and took the obvious next step, added it to the list of crimes against humanity. No, wait, that’s not what happened.

The history of LSD is tragic, given what we now know about its therapeutic properties. Tripped by Norman Ohler is an interesting text on the subject.

Curious what happens to these people when the prevailing political sentiment changes. Do they recant their beliefs or retreat to an incel bunker or what?

Those are some nice slip-ons

I can understand this sort of thing among the elderly but I’ve met ablebodied engineers who don’t understand how to computer. The awesome thing is that they don’t take advice, they just Dunning Kruger their way through.

We saw it and thought ‘we should invent a process that prevents us from falling prey to the naturalistic fallacy’.
