Wheaties

genuinely surprised to learn about this, yeah

I really don't understand the Evo Psych guys. Maybe I'm missing something, but it really seems like their argument goes,

"The Tabula Rasa model is highly unlikely to be a complete explanation of psychology... therefore, we're going to dismiss it completely and focus only how genetic evolution explains people's behavior."

which just seems nonsensical??? I mean, in a modern exceptionally new and recent computerized industrial age, how can you say that with a straight face, much less make an academic career out of it? Learned behavior just has so damn much more explanatory capacity.

God, I hate computers most of the time, but occasionally I still feel that spark of that old dream. The one they fed us on though VHS tapes, put on when the teacher just cant be bothered;

The Information Superhighway Will Connect People Around the Globe In Ways Beyond Our Modern Comprehension yeah, voiceover guy, sometimes it really really does

Klein and Thompson have faced no opposition to their accurate claim that the U.S. ability to build large projects has deteriorated, even and particularly in blue states where hostile Republicans can’t be blamed. The question is whether the obstacle to that growth is well-intentioned regulations that give too much power to environmentalists, busybody neighbors known as NIMBYs, and labor unions, or whether it stems from concentrated financial power—in the form of billionaires, monopolies, or both—who benefit from stalled projects.

I wonder if it could be the one explanation that just so happens to be absent from bestseller newyourk times hotcake book, Abundance™?

Sorry, baby, but we've accidentally created an overcapacity for graphics chip manufacturing. Could you be a dear and incorporate some compute heavy habits into your workflow? THanks, and remember if you don't, then you hate freedom and the terrorists will do an alignment to GLaDOS or something!

“We should ultimately be trying to convince him that the Democratic Party has more of the values that he agrees with,” Khanna said.

well that's true

“A commitment to science funding, a commitment to clean technology, a commitment to seeing international students like him.”

HE JUST SPENT THE LAST HALF YEAR DEMONSTRATING THAT HE SUPPORTS NONE OF THOSE THINGS

This is where the semantics breaks down. Having a plan would mean having some understanding of where we are at and what should be done to start moving forward. And you would need to communicate that understanding and that plan to other people... in what is otherwise known as a story.

We don't have a story, but that's OK because we need a story!

holy shit the way they use Superpower to talk about both characters and nation-states is so fucking good im hooked
