No way I think they're just huge Chris Nolan fans tbh. I actually love that they call it a totem bc it makes it seem like when u put on the headset ur going into a dream. It's a si…

Found James Halliday lmao

I love how they try to shift blame onto an algorithm as if they didn't write that algorithm themselves and don't have 100% control over the algorithm. "Guys we're not bigoted, it's…

>minds only think what they've been trained to think Millennia of novel thoughts disagree lmfao

Incorrect, we have a huge surplus of resources by any measure. We're simply not very good at distributing and allocating those resources, which gives people the illusion of overpop…

Not really, if anything this article just promulgates the idea that women are permanent cuckolders if you lack high-testosterone facial morphology. The incels are right lol

The big physical hormonal events — sex, food, muscle contractions, sleep, endocannabinoid ingestion. That’s it. When I make happiness any more complicated than that, it instantly b…

This injustice will not stand. The dude does not abide.

The definition of "love" is so vague that it can mean almost anything to anyone. That's why "love" is popular as a concept among homo sapiens – because everyone has their own perso…

What a conceptually interesting article. There are a few cool framing devices in here. I like how is using English to describe how English is weird. That's like using a spray can t…

100% agreed. This is the most condescending, patronizing, outright racist initiative that I've seen yet from an incubator like YC. The racism is implied. It's not overtly stated. B…
