#22I once made a large pencil drawing of my living room using only words. Each word depicted a "thing" at the position I found it. It taught me a lot about what things are. A chair is obviously a separate entity and easy to list, but what about the floor and the separate floorboards? I listed the wall, but I didn't list the paint on the wall. The bookcase took a lot of effort, because I found that each book in it was a…
You don't actually act or behave in accordance with that "belief". You would be incapable of perceiving anything, taking any action, or making this post.

The things are real, they are emergent patterns. Both each individual pin as well as the whole bag are real. See also https://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/23307/1/wallace_rp%20for%20....

> I now try to stop believing in things. It's mostly just molecules that happen to be in a certain configuration for some time.
And so are we.
Interesting thought on the books vs pins, made me think. A sheet of paper is a thing. So maybe the book is the bag rather than the shelf.

#25Oof, just loading this page caused my browser to download 170 MB of content. I hope she has a good CDN.

#27I've thought of doing something similar. Add a barcode to everything, designate a "home" and then create a catalogue. I even found an app that supports this. No more "where does this go" or "where do I find X"..
Maybe a phone camera could be trained to recognize the objects and locations.
Yeah that would work too. I ended up creating a table in org mode for a limited subset of my gear — camping gear specifically.
Using the phone is just too much friction. I print out a checklist and check items off.
This is not the flying car future I was hoping for, but it works well enough.

Being neuroatypical happens in roughly even amounts between men and women. However, while a man - unless he is wealthy, whereupon he is merely “eccentric” - will be nailed to the wall for his differences and beaten up on a constant basis for not conforming (and until the 80s, were literally beaten black and blue for failing to conform), women will mostly be forgiven by society for the exact same peculiarities. They a…
Girls are better at masking, though, at least those on the autism spectrum.
