In some sense, John Horton Conway (the inventor of Conway's game of life) is also related to them, but we are also all related to one another. I wonder what the relationship betwee…

Gandhi was a straight up racist. Lincoln participated in an ethnic cleansing campaign as a young man. Washington was one of the founders of a slave empire and a slaver himself. Chu…

What evidence is there to suggest that this is the case? It seems, instead, that those behaviors arose at a later point -- you need a certain level of captivity to have institution…

In almost any category conceivable (police presence on the streets, incarceration weights, bureaucratic oversight), the PRC is significantly more libertarian than the US. It is tru…

If you understand the population distribution in the PRC, have spent time in a Tier 2 or Tier 3 city, and think deeply about economic growth, the idea that the Chinese economy coul…

Data suggests shrooms, DXM and/or massive ketamine can reset deep traumatic patterns. Also we recommend checking out internal family systems therapy.

I'd love to read about this. Been trying to create this kind of worker owned firm in the media space for many years now. Am close to getting it but it's been tough for the reasons …
