facebook has no authority to regulate speech

the idea that DARPA built the internet so some college kid could REGULATE SPEECH ON THE INTERNET is really insane because it is 100% anti-American and anti-Constitutional for the government to spend money in an effort to regulate the speech of the American people

Don't dismiss this episode. I thought it would be kind of trite and boring, but they bring up some really good "What if?" issues that Facebook has to deal with. It also brings up other issues like pay to those filtering and (albeit only a small amount) the stress of workers who have to wade through all the nasty reports.

I want so badly to like Radiolab, but honestly I feel like it's produced by ADHD'ers, for ADHD'ers.

Hell, I feel like it gives me ADHD just listening.

Doesn't this imply it's best for people who aren't ADHD?

Wait, what are we talking about?

Radiolab is incredibly hard to listen to with all the random noises and things they sprinkle into each episode. Contrast this with This American Life and its a world of difference.

TAL tends to deal with a more specific topic or story compared to Radiolab, which deals with an idea that has many smaller bits. The editing reflects this. I find it fine to listen to.

My favorite is they figured out the most infuriating amount of dead air it takes to get you to check if the headphones disconnected.

As somebody who has ADHD quite severely, I have never once in my life got distracted in the middle of a conversation. That’s not how it works, and I’m so goddamn sick of people making jokes like this about it.

Everybody with ADHD is slightly different, but for me it’s more of a disconnect between future rewards and present internal motivation. It’s not an issue when I’m talking to somebody – – that shit is all in the present and I thrive in the moment.

What I can’t do well at all is make my brain feel like a task is important, rewarding and worth doing if that reward will come far in the future.
