    Where better for the PM to discuss global trade than the Maritime Museum at Greenwich. Boris begins begins with a paean of praise to the painting of William and Mary on the ceiling. This is the densest concentration of soundness in discovered space.

    Dreams—the sleep kind—are quickly forgotten, presumably since not confusing dreams and reality has an evolutionary advantage. But then if we instantly forget, what use does dreaming have?

    Most people never, ever forget the first person to give them a sizable advance on their own self-confidence — there's no greater security in life than being a serial enabler of wonderful young people

    Perhaps someday, everyone will learn through fun, interesting, voluntary projects, as this unschooler does. Until then, he is an example of what is possible without school.

    This is why mandatory education is inefficient in exactly the same way that slavery is: both lack positive incentives. In mandatory education, students work to avoid punishment. But free people work to benefit themselves.

    People thrive when they have positive incentives for creating new ideas. Suppressing someone's interests, especially the interests of young people, denies both them and us the huge benefits of these positive incentives.

    It’s not that it’s just “good for both businesses and the public” (the economic argument) it’s good, period. Morally, free trade is simply the right thing to do. It’s anti-coercion applied to transactions.

    The reason you can’t solve the halting problem is fundamentally the same as why there aren’t any prophetic oracles. If you prophesy someone’s future, why can’t they just do the opposite? If a program predicts another will halt, can’t it find that out and run forever?

    The EU has a webpage on bendy bananas, in which they answer the question 'is Brussels really meddling in what our beloved bananas should look like?'

    A culture that values free speech is far more important than a government law whose intention is to defend it.

    People make the earth more habitable, not less: because of disaster-prevention, not a single person in the Netherlands has died due to flooding since 1953.

    The claim "the brain is a computer" is no mere analogy. The brain is a computer. Period. Here's why:

    A widespread misconception about quantum theory is that it only applies to small systems. This is a falsehood, as I explain in my most recent blog post:

    We don’t damage the planet, in general. We fix it and make it a little more habitable. It’s the naturalistic fallacy to presume the way it was and is, is ideal. It’s a hostile death trap... this remains true even if you’re broadly anti-human and care more about other animals.
