Exam culture stems from the outdated notion that problems can be solved prior to tackling the problems. Today the world works exactly opposite. You first tackle the problem and then figure out what to learn. Ask any successful business person. They start by doing and failing and learning...

Gender equality has always been part of society. Ordinary medieval peasants were equal be they men or women. Patriach idea came into practice with estates and landlords. Weddings were not just, putting a ring on it, but they were intermarriage of clans and wealth. Hence all the weird nobel...

Best most memorable show that I loved was Rome on HBO. I loved it for the new take on history in that it was fairly close to real and well made. Few problems I had - extreme drama, which did not steer away from you know the usual Game of Thrones crap.

I recommend this, he packs so much shit there though, its hard to follow everything.

Thank God. No, I feel like scarecrow, I love comfy clothes.

Not like any women ever had the short end of stick. But I am glad there are men like you two to protect them from their undoing. Jokes aside, I don't care about women wearing anything so long as they are wearing for the right reasons. I admit some make up today looks banging good, some looks...

I kind of miss old Onion news network vids. They were super informative.

Lots of smart people I have known in schools some with pretty high IQs, did not give a damn about school got C grades and just passed to get it over with. You are kind of right its all or nothing. Which is my very biggest issue here. Education should be best Fit for the person. We have general...

https://www.youtube.com/@DrKaran I find with medicine it is hit and miss, but I like this channel, he talks about relatively new stuff, that most people in medicine still don't talk about. Its actually amazing how mainstream medicine is so far behind in many new ideas, concepts and knowledge.

General principals are awareness --> emotional processing --> integrating the new realization into a whole ---> whatever comes next is mystery, that is up to you. I believe there are 7 billion ways to accept death, none better then your way.

I only realized few years ago that the documentaries and physics theories that often get passed as viable options are not even true. Like literally they just made them fit the data, but no one really knows whats going on. There is ton of competing theories. So string theory does not exist. It...

We all do in some areas of life. Ask your self though why? Why not do it the other way? Yes awakening, realization, etc.... our conscious awareness includes the emotional thing where you kind of let it happen. Which always lead me to believe that belief system be they normative as in religion...

The bottom line is if you have right axioms, you are likely to reason well from it. If you have wrong types of axioms your reasoning will never be correct. How does one however arrive at axioms. Because a lot of axioms, such as in hoarding are indeed psychological not philosophical.

None of those, but I eat a lot of it. Might be prudent to check it out.

Maybe the right question is how do we know that we know? Or what is actually knowing?

I think our minds want causality, but complex world allows for limited access to causal things. Our biases also establish causality. If I like chocolate, causality means I pick chocolate. If I speak about lever as causal relation of distance and pivotal point and a weight I speak of...

quantum quantum something something..... as much as mysticism goes quantum physics is the new metaphysics in sense. I think it will be interesting in close future what quantum physics has to offer. My biggest beef with quantum stuff its very sensationalized. I like sensationalized science...

Kind of explains why forbes has been reporting more pro Russian. Though Id say they are apperring moderate.

What is discipline? I am not very disciplined.

Me? Internet mostly.

Power is given then power will last based on mutual benefit. Leaders are entrusted with power. Will is a question? Power that of leaders could be based on many things, such as abilities. For instance warrior cultures entrusted the best warriors to be leaders. Academia of Greeks was runned by...

Real AI will change everything. Like everything it will redefine our lives in major ways. Before washing machines people had to clean stuff with hands. I still remember those times my grandma and mother washed stuff with hands. It was quite time consuming job. Washing dishes was another waste of...

I actually think movie industry is rivaled by gaming industry as well. For instance I played witcher III lately and it was kind of like a movie combined with a game, adventure style. Basically there was a story, probably on par with most movies. You got to make choices and you get to do lots of...

I sure hope you get your results in project. Hope you did not take my post as attack. Just tried to make a simple point. Education no matter what is personal wealth either way.

Yes we are the fucking middle men of the past and the future. It will either break us or build us up. This song is 1988 lol truer now than before.

I had a recent conversation disinformation today means = you are not allowed to think conspiracy theory = you are not hip enough, though to be honest some conspiracy theories are crazy, many are at least partially true, even if misguided. hoax = sometimes you are wrong and sometimes you are...

From within. Both. Depends what type of activity. But the later is more common nowadays, trying to do the former. When its people gut, when its quantum physics think. EH, hard to say. I love following good rules, but rules are so stupid sometimes. FML.

Lets forget other people. Let me ask you one simple question. Can you think smart things? Its rhetorical. You are smart, but if you don't contribute to society with your smarts, I can blame you, which is wrong. Its not your fault. Lots of smart people.... no jobs.... that is not the fault of...

Males fight, women gossip. Both are types of aggression. Channeling aggression positively in life is easy, once you realize we all have aggression. The only cure for males is admitting you are angry and aggressive and find some activity to channel into. It can be art, boxing, any hobby...

Agree with all things, but I would be OK with botox, though I agree that I have seen better looking chicks on the streets than in Hollywood. I heard the theory that actors are not chosen by looks, but how outstanding and memorable their faces are, so that kind of explains people like Angelina...

OK here is one way to look at it.... Education input - behavior - valuable output Today we have a different situation. We have gazillion possible inputs and hence gazillion possible smart behaviors as valuable output. Unlike our ancestors, we live in a different world, in every single...

Its a bit of contradiction? Yes and that is my main beef. Effort vs bare minimum. Today you become valuable to economy roughly at age 25 when 1 third of your life is over. That is kind of sad.

Here is my view of the problem. When I go to school I intend to learn. I went to college or university( whatever ) to learn x. I realized when I finish I can get a job. A well payed job. But I realized the knowledge I am learning is neither unique or special. By unique or special I mean I will...

Here is simple question. What defines value of human labor?

What I found out that most conversation, the old ones, between INTPs, seem fairly different from what you expect from normal people. Half the shit INTPs say casually is something you would not say in real life, but INTPs seem to disagree on the most absurd points. Puzzling out a complete...

I guess that comes down to personality. Everyone has their own sort of internal machinery.

Yeah what I mean romantic one, and by do it, I mean to just do stuff with people until you kind of figure it out. Generally psychologist will give you advice like how not to make decisions that could ruin your life, but what works for you is "unknown". When it comes to attachments, the only...

I am pretty sure my full consciousness did not come online until further in life, somewhere around age between 6 to 12, not sure when exactly I became fully conscious of self. However knowing that there is relationship between my finger touching my nose in the mirror is not the same as self...

Attachment theory is good stuff. But psychologist seem to be all over the map when it comes to fixing it. Essentially the only thing I learned from attachment theory is, if you want to heal attachment you have to do it.

I had a job, I had a place to live, I had extra money and no idea how to spend it. Then I realized I am still unhappy. Surviving is easy. I could get a job nowdays work my ass off and make my life easy on financial terms. Making money is the easiest thing. But for some reason I find this...

I don't expect people to be like me. I want people to be free to be themselves just like I want them to feel free to be themselves with me. From this perspective, let me be and I will let you be, and if we be together we have a relationship. In terms of morals if you harm someone or something...

ESTP - learns to do shit ESTJ - learns to do shit in organized way ESFJ - learns to fit everyone in ESFP - learns to have nice things ENTP - learns think to do smart shit ENTJ - learns to exert will and control everybody ENFP - learns to have freedom to do things ENFJ - learns to impart...

Yes, but when I say something funny, I am not sure its because they just don't get it, or they really don't like it. For instance once I had explained how I mean certain joke people found it funny, but the way it sounded to their ears they felt it was dumb. When it comes to talking, it does...

Thats like saying whales don't build houses so they must be stupid. Apes live in groups and T rex might have lived in groups as well. Its not like we actually know. Its not like we know what behaviors T rex had. You cannot reconstruct t rex hunting patterns and infer intellect. Our...

Generally nothing specific. Most people just homeschool, which I think is one way, though I think there could be more ways.

For every hour in school you could spend 1 hour of learning or doing something useful. Lets say the subject is geography 1 hour 1 hour of math 1 hour biology 1 hour of whatever Then you go home. Half of your waking hours and brain energy is gone. Now you probably forget most of what you learned...

I cannot watch sports. I rather do sports, but watching sports for me is not possible. I tried. I am kind of doing that. Not sure its healthy for me. I think though I can try more. Where there is will there is way.

School is the best, you learn things you don't care about, to know things, so you can do things you don't want to do, with people who don't care if you drop dead the next day. Essentially slavery.

That was not my point, but is valid fact as well. When Aristotle tried to figure out how fish swim or how economy works, he was not wrong. He was clearly doing it correctly, and yes today he would be a dumb-ass comparatively with high school students. Not that he was not smarter than high...
