Is there any different link to this book? Not working for me but seems fascinating.

There is no "not playing the game." Exit the game and find yourself simultaneously entering a larger meta-game with the exact same social dynamics at play -- and this time it's eve…

Actually only psuedo-socios make power grabs. True socios have power handed to them on a silver platter by MOPs and geeks alike.

I smoked ten spliffs a day for more than five years. I switched to vaping (JUUL) and CBD oil tincture and I was miraculously relieved of my marijuana addiction. Try CBD oil dude. Y…

This is an incredibly shaky argument. The Halo Effect is real, and those who vape or have tattoos don't benefit from it. Is the benefit of driving away people who understand the Ha…

That's fair. Sorry dude ! :)

No, my entire point is that the articles misleading headline makes the rope sound like a minor detail. We agree that the rope is much more than a minor detail. My point is that it'…

I'm with u dude, it's extremely odd phrasing to say that the airbnb "LETS" you run the bookstore when the article makes clear that running the bookstore is a requirement of staying…

LOL right back at u There are many solo climbers better than honnold. They just use ropes

He's not the greatest solo climber g, he's the greatest solo climber who doesn't use ropes.

I did not miss the word "solo." Honnold is not the worlds greatest solo climber by a Longshot. He's the greatest "free solo" climber. A ton of solo climbers are way better than him…

The idea that honnold is the world's greatest climber is patently absurd and false, he's just the only dude willing to do the crazy solos without a harness -- aka the world's most …

Serial was basically a Black Swan event dude, no one I know listens to narrative audio content when they could watch narrative video content instead. It's true that listening is ea…

You appear not to understand the concept of a safe word. The entire point of a safe word is that it is SHORT and MEMORABLE, not long and generic. "I quit the experiment" is a highl…

For real. This dude could have just said "the lone wolf alpha-male archetype is rooted in truth" and then wrote a listicle supporting his points and he would have gotten his argume…

Zimbardo has lost all credibility, the fact that this begins with anything but a point-by-point refutation of the Medium article just highlights that fact. The Medium article was h…

This reminds me of the recent Johnny Depp Rolling Stone article a truly hilarious amount. Lolol

Realest HN comment of the day. Damore ignored all natural laws (re: conform or get ostracized) to try and make a point about how natural laws will always assert themselves. Ironica…

For someone who talks so much about empathy you ironically completely fail to empathize with Asians. You're making an emotional argument not a logical or reasoned one so I can tell…

I Dunno dude we were talking about fairness in admissions and now you're talking about the goals of colleges. I agree different colleges have different goals. I'm just saying that …

I never said it was impossible to be discriminated against based on race. Obviously it is. And obviously race exists. I was pointing out the absurdity of colleges factoring race in…

What differences? Just saying that height, facial attractiveness/symmetry, weight etc all could (unquantifiably but obviously) easily outweigh race in terms of societal privilege a…

Yes it's better but still so gameable it's essentially unusable. Also if you factor in assets reported to the IRS it would be damn near impossible not to be biased towards kids who…
