What is their responsibility and what are they doing that is so insidiously addictive exactly? Endless shitposts by your friends for you to scroll-through is that the fentanyl of the internet?
To me this just seems like they're trying to get some control over what people are exposed to and to find out who's doing what.
To me this seems more than shortsighted. The decision to do this seems almost like the manic stage of bipolar disorder. The depression the YouTuber falls into almost instantly into the experiment adds to that suspicion. I think on the first(second?) day the YouTuber is breaking down from the idea of sleeping on the street - surely he anticipated that? The almost complete absence of any attempts to make some money bar a hare-brained buy-sell craiglist scam, which wasn't explored nearly enough on it's own to gauge its viability, seems slightly disordered also.
I knew it would fail, but being unable to get off the streets is a remarkable failure. I think he simply didnt want to get a regular job to get stable housing and instead thought he was going to make 50k in the first month sitting in a public library.
That's strange as you would expect quality to suffer in every single respect when forced to work inhumane conditions. I would find a different mechanic if I thought the one I was considering was miserable from being overworked.
Was there an explanation for why outcomes improved? Perhaps it is necessary to look into who conducts these studies as I imagine someone up the ladder profits greatly from having 1 doctor do the job of 2.
There's plenty of people trying to be self-sufficient and in my anecdotal experience the vast majority if not all are still unable to entirely disconnect and thats with modern technology and knowledge. The most isolated hermits still buy flour/sugar/salt. I'd like to see the experts here fend for themselves too see how much 'abundance' they come across. Nature is in a state of fierce competition; nothing falls on your lap.
It mistakingly incorporates coordinates from other planets/satelites in our solar system. Seems a large fraction of those point nemo locations are meteorite impacts on nearby satelites.
When I was younger I used to draw constantly and I'd say that was the only period in my life when I would often picture images. Looking back it was more flashes of angles and line shapes and how it would feel to draw them.
This makes me wonder two things:
1. Apart from understanding how a mechanical object functions or recalling how to get somewhere what other query benefits from visualisation?
2. Do people with aphantasia dream in images?
>Munger’s $200 million donation to the university is contingent on the structure being built to his windowless specifications.
Reason being:
>“Our design is clever,” Munger assured skeptics. “Our buildings are going to be efficient.” In addition to cutting costs and foiling potential defenestrations, his design would force students out of their sleeping cubbies and into communal spaces—with real sunlight—where, he said, they would engage with one another.
It seems to me encouraging university students to spend more time alone would be more conducive to getting work done. Overall Munger seemed to have had this notion a lot of old people have that the youth need to suffer because
of-course they suffered more.
This stuck out to me also. I don't mind a joke but not if someone/something has to get tortured for it.
