I truly hate media that trivializes serious philosophical positions. The boombox isn't just as intelligent as the dog, but it may be indistinguishable sound-wise from the dog. If y…

>No one reads anything with 100% comprehension, and the assertion that such a thing as perfect understanding exists is absurd. Real meaning of words is fleeting and there certainly…

ya, let's have some software gather data about every single detail of your life. Nobody is going to take advantage of that information, right? I don't know about you, but the way I…

I'm stupid and completely ignored that bit.

Are you trying to tell me that if a person begins to exercise more, with everything else being constant (calories), that there would be no weight loss?

How a person "[processes] on the fly" seems to be a measurement very related to intelligence. So they don't care about IQ, but they do care about mental quickness.

I'm not rich or successful, but gosh dangit, I think I'll do just fine in this world. And it's OK guys, it really is. Remember all those times people said mean things to you just b…

Hey, you have an interesting story. I was wondering if we could chat in private? ta011011100@gmail

Yes, I like porn.

There are a lot people on this forum who seem to think they're absolutely right about some convention or way of life and that they're entitled to attention (ie they believe their t…

"Anyone operating in a template-driven manner is not reasoning by first principles." I'm saying that when you want to solve a problem, you don't use a checklist of which "reasoning…

Because it formalizes thought and encourages people to use templates rather than actually thinking about it themselves. If you're "solving problems" by always referring to your she…

Did you really have to come up with a name for it: "reasoning from first principles"? Does it not bother anyone else that this is just "thinking"? I mean, if you can deal with the …

She's practicing number crunching and maybe some other cognitive tasks that probably can't be related to mathematical thought, unless you squint really hard. I can identify at leas…

There are a lot of feel good nonsense posts in this thread. The parent gave no indication he was referring to motivation. It sounded like he was saying his wife suddenly became bet…

Some people are very good at chess. Similar idea. Are these people also good at math? "One thing that worked well for my wife was a series of games from Nintendo called Fire Emblem…

Except... just because you haven't observed it doesn't mean it isn't true. And just because you believe you're gifted doesn't mean you are. It's really easy to be a big fish in a s…

1. When you respond to a person, that person has no idea unless they check their comment tree. Is that right? If so, why not give a notification? Make it like reddit. 2. There are …

I get the impression that the priority, among a large crowd here, is to say profound things rather than true things.

So does the author deny the existence of any sort of domain where these paradigms would be "right"? Or are they universally "wrong"? Also, he states a view or philosophy: "everythi…

The message in the book, based on my understanding from online reviews and summaries, resonates with me. I usually have a hard time with school and I've found that if I study on my…

Depends on how motivated she is to learn (or how good of a teacher you are). If you expose too much complexity in the very beginning, you may risk her not liking it from an early a…

Who cares? Why does this matter at all? Are you seriously that confused over the abbreviation?
