some bits i want to highlight, as a fellow bitcoin enthusiast: Everything else in ""crypto"" besides Bitcoin is at best, a startup with a yet-to-be-proven use case and in most cases more like a scam.... Thanks, I don’t imagine I’ll create guilt-free, but hopefully more guilt-flexible :) I think what I mean by that is that is I don’t expect to be perfect, by any means I don’t expect that the guilt-induction is on parents or families alone (I imagine it’s society and also... - Missy...
Frozen Wednesday Feb 4
Frozen Wednesday. The ground is still locked in ice. The trees are quiet. Even the deer step softer when the world feels this tense. Nancy Guthrie is still missing — a family somewhere living every parent-child nightmare in real time.... - renee...
I like this and it is a longterm view benefit. It’s going backwards to get the gold down the line. And we could make a case for do we see evidence for that already since he was in office 4 years? What got better for humanity as a result of that?... Read the full post - nat...
I believe our leadership will be wwaaaay better and way more trustable if we can admit our mistakes and change course as soon as necessary I feel like Trump knew he made a mistake by not addressing Covid with more concern… especially after seeing good friends die, but, to save... - DrThomasHo...

Their job; their goal; the thing that gave them status or credibility... No ethics involved except lack of them ...NO.... Having ethics does matter or, often, behaving ethically has less value BY OTHER PEOPLE's standards.... - MossyMoni...

Am I going crazy? How can people just act normally in such scary and outrageous times?

Well the paradigm seems basically worst-case: We have on idea what's going on inside the AIs an we have lots of indications that it's weird and only tangentially related to what we asked for.... - Anshjb...
Oversimplified Mindsets
I often find that in times of great stress or uncomfortable situations, what I considered disadvantages have become of great strength. People are often told one of two extremes: their station is all their fault or it isn't.... Should Politics Be On The Playing Field?

What I'd like to see is people not openly lying and spreading disinformation.... a lot of the questions to me come to down to how fast we adopt the changes, and what incentivizes those.

Hmm I guess I'm hoping if UpTrust is awesome enough, we'll get even better, together, at getting those things we want which aren't here For me,... I think community notes is a great movement in the right direction, so overall this is a good thing for society. As far as I can tell, "Fact Checking" is an orange orientation to what-is-truth, and "community notes" is a green one.... Education system in india
I feel that the education system in india needs a major overhaul. At present it’s based on consumption system ….if I get good marks then I have better future prospects ,I can make more money ,buy more and bigger house,car etc it’s like living in one’s own bubble disconnected with... I agree that neither polyamory nor monogamy is necessarily "more evolved" than the other. The more evolved aspect is how someone shows up in their connections. Either structure is subject to unconscious motivators and societal conditioning....
