I am sure people's thoughts on this reflect their current boss/leadership.

I would have disagreed 2 years ago but got a new boss last year that seems to make huge business decisions based on a random number generator.

The problem is whatever advances we make they just quickly become viewed as a natural given by the historically ignorant.

It wasn't that long ago that 30% of children died before age 1. Imagine having a baby and there is a 30% chance it is dead in a year? That is almost all of human history.

The complaint will remain constant no matter what. If everyone owned a BMW some people would complain there is this aristocratic class that has a 7 series while the peasants all own 3 series and that we need to make things more equal.

We are so equal that the richest man in history and a homeless person practically have the same smart phone.

Isn't it time to move on from Freudian language and stop using a word that has so many different meanings in the modern sense?

If we translated things today for the first time we would never translate these ideas to the word 'ego'. I am pretty sure this is just a relic of the times of original translation and Freud's popularity at the time.

I just remember being young and thinking the idea was to quite your personality or destroy your personality. That is such a translation error and distortion of the message. A philosophical problem caused by highly imprecise language.

I think of Mortal Kombat at the arcade before there was any version to play at home.

Nothing can ever compete with that. The finishing moves were like this occult knowledge that you would see certain kids have and think of them as some kind of martial arts masters. No internet to tell you how to do them. Would just have to try to watch the master and figure out what they were doing when they did the finishing move.

Scarcity of game play the coin created along with having to be social at the arcade. Just an awesome experience as a kid.

Oh yes. I love pancakes with just melted butter. A giant butter sponge.

If anything else I put honey on them. Maple syrup is just a total ripoff price wise.

My go to cheat meal really with sausage.

I still can't stand the smell of nutmeg 30 plus years after this failed experiment.

"But others say Loeb is tarnishing astronomy and undermining the search for extraterrestrial intelligence"

I mean I think this is all nonsense but the idea someone doesn't have the correct credentials to produce scientific evidence is so distasteful.

We must first put on our properly powdered wig, dance the minuet, then and only then is one capable of collecting UFO evidence!

Seems pretty obvious to me that we are going backwards.

I always worried about this stage of my life as a non-software engineer that I would get lapped by the younger generation who had been immersed in technology since birth.

Smart phone immersion though not only seems useless but counter productive. No computer skills or attention span. At least I got a ton of computer skills while my attention span was shortened.

Is this going to change with Generation Covid? That seems like an easy bet no.

It seems to me the philosophical mistake is that banking and financial system regulations came about randomly. As if these are just unintended software bugs. As if there was no reason for the regulations.

So all this complexity to get around regulations but you are going to run into the reasons this regulation came about at some scale.

Oh yea...we didn't think of that...oops.

Surely, that problem will just scale with time, adoption and law suits.

This is all such an unbelievable waste of intellectual resources to re-invent the wheel

Come on, both Mitchell and Young will be trying to get back on Spotify in less than 2 years if that.

The irony to me is they are just too old to know about all the rap songs glorifying drinking lean during an opioid epidemic. Not even misinformation about lean, actively promoting.

That is not happening for me.

This is all easy to solve if you get up early and then never stay up late.

I can't stay up late on Friday and Saturday, sleep in on Sunday and then expect to not have my sleep schedule altered to get up early during the week.

This is easy to do once you are old. If you are young with a social life I really have no idea.

What annoys me is that if you wanted to see as few people in the US get vaccinated as possible, the best way would be to constantly tell people to get vaccinated and make a big political issue out of it.

The people I know that are not vaccinated have nothing against vaccines. They are just the type that if you tell them what to do then that is exactly what they are not going to do.

The most interesting thing I have heard from Sinclair is the studies on mice that eating once a day was what extended lifespan the most. Everything else was not that important diet wise.

It sounds like to me the method is eat once a day and get in the best physical condition possible from working out. Beyond that, I am just not going to stress about it. Surely, not going to take any reverse risk with HGH or experimental drugs.
