Overpopulation is not a problem. Maybe in a couple countries. But not for the world, and not for the west and definitely not for America. As the population has grown poverty has de…

If you’re talking about Pete Hegseth, he I think is CREC, and they are post-millenialists, which means they think more so that the earth will get better and better and should build…

Yeah I agree. Still would be very valuable to be able to read works that shaped western civilization in their original language, since a lot of nuance is lost translating to Englis…

The classical school movement in America is growing quite rapidly, and so maybe we start to see it again? My kids at least are all learning Latin, and later, Greek.

I love Costco. Jim Senegal (former CEO of Costco) is what I wish more CEOs were like. I have a large family, so we buy almost everything at Costco. When I was kid I was so mortifie…

I’ve used chatGPT to take silly ideas I had and make fairy tale like stories for my daughter that often have goblins and things like that in them. Watch now it’s gonna be like weir…

Even this subjective interpretation shows why the question is so good. Someone on the other side would say the fundamentals are completely different. It is meant to point out how m…

This question is genius like the way secret hitler is a genius game. All the different ways to frame it and think about it, and the balance between them all. Saying "I would press …

Yeah I’m all for doing what makes sense. I probably just overreact and judge too quickly certain statements from my experiences of people who act like I’m destroying the earth beca…

> Enhanced Discoverability in Apple Maps My first thought from that heading was “my company will know where I am at all times”. Though that was not the point thankfully.

It’s really about the cost/benefit analysis. The value of plowing ahead and using more energy is worth far more than making sure Florida doesn’t lose some coastline. The presumptio…

The EPA repealed its 2009 conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and well-being. So this is not a good reason to oppose AI. Now the sheer energy …

I thought the “sponsored by nobody” thing to donate through was another example of the spam at first.

Thiel is not an idiot. Competition is for losers, is a way to say to go and compete in a super crowded market where it is impossible to differentiate yourself is not going to make …

The word monotheism didn’t even exist until the 17th century. I’m doubtful of some of the article’s claims, that seem to project our modern ideas onto the ancient world. But I thin…

As an experienced software engineer, I’m incredibly excited about what AI is going to be able to do, like on a scale of 1-10, I’m an 8. As a citizen, who doesn’t trust the governme…

The fact that people think, capital owners who actually provide employment and produce useful things and do better the better they serve the consumer even when their motives aren’t…

What does it mean for rocketable to dog food their product? :)

I love that you have to find the cancer on the CT scan to see the jobs page. That’s creative. Now I’m craving some gamified version of that to see how terrible of a radiologist I w…

Oh that sounds cool. Thanks for sharing. I’m definitely going to check it out.

Ok does anyone else’s mind just immediately go to “The Minority Report” is soon going to no longer be just a sci fi dystopia?

Or just because math is awesome and knowing more is just great knowledge to obtain. For some reason people think having an education is only valuable if it is traded for money. For…

Be curious how they got their numbers. Because I had to fill out intent to homeschool forms for my 4 kids that are over 10, but they’re all at a classical Christian school, but the…
