Maybe you should watch the video to appreciate the full meaning of Zizek's idea.

Yes and no. Lifestyle has an impact on intelligence. You probably can't train yourself into a higher IQ, but you can many things that will dimish it (not sleeping well, bad nutrition, drugs, stress, etc.)

So if you've led a non ideal lifestyle in the past, you might be able to increase your intelligence by making less mistakes, relative to your current abilities.

But isn't that the core issue with "these" people: they have lost the ability to be able to interpret their body's sensations and warning signals and burn out as a result?

I'm not excempt from this. But the urge to substitute bodily awareness with sensory gadgets seems to gather religious proportions in some circles.

Considering that slowing down FPS doesn't alter the images, and audio can be resampled with practically no audible artefacts, I doubt that quality would ever be an issue. As long as it's done with the proper care of course.

I would think the main consideration is workflow these days.

He made great jokes exclusively in a format that is usually reserved for bad jokes. He was a genius.

Jesus Christ what have you pulled out into consciousness from the deepest wells of my mind!

I think it was a mistake to call both those conditions diabetes.

No, I just didn't know what it's called.

And no, I never learned print at school, only cursive. I started writing in print as a teenager because I thought it looked cooler, but it took me some time to get used to it.

I know this feature, but I'd much more prefer the workflow of having two calculators side by side.

In my view fine motor control is actually very important, as it seems to have a big effect on neuroplasticity and the prevention of Parkinson's.

I also want my kids to learn how to appreciate things that have no tangible purpose other than be beautiful.

I think it's a shame though that you were forced to use cursive when you hated it. Although where I grew up writing cursive used to be the norm. But it's not anymore apparently, as my son is learning non-cursive first.

Human memory doesn't work like that. Nothing gets pushed out when you learn something new.

It probably works the other way around even. The more you know (and understand), the easier it gets to remember (and understand) new things.

I thought La Mepris was plot and dialogue wise a silly movie, but watching it I could feel the hot mediterranean climate so bad that it made me disoriented. Pretty amazing.

If you see restaurants as a place to get food, then you're right. If you visit a place to have a remarkable experience, you might enjoy this kind of attention.

Not saying either perspective is wrong. Just that there's some nuance.

Austrian here. In my experience, good Bohemien food is hard to come by outside of where it's customary. Even in joints that don't seem to be money laundering.

I've had a similar experience with fellow classmates at a small osteria in Vienna we used to frequent when skipping English classes. But the food was actually decent and very cheap. But we never saw any other patrons.

No, I was just kidding.
