    "[Well-intentioned facial recognition bans] are the wrong way to fight against modern surveillance. Focusing on one particular identification method misconstrues the nature of the surveillance society we're in the process of building."

    "In every single country, the average estimate of happiness is far lower than actual reported happiness. Every single country! In the US, 90% of people say they’re happy, but the average guess is that only 50 percent of people say they’re happy."

    "Infants sometimes learn to sit up because they are trying to put their feet into their mouths, not because they want to sit." ~ Norman Doidge, neuroscientist, in his latest book "the brain's way of healing", in the chapter on Feldenkrais technique.

    We often talk about emotional work, dealing with trauma, doing meditation and therapy, etc. through the analogy of healing. And there's something to that, but it raises the inevitable question of "when will you be finished healing". That's misleading.

    is a cute argument for why ethics thought experiments will tend to lead you astray, because they make it harder to form ethical understanding (which comes from simple representations) so lead to less skillful ethical actions.

    "men are from mars, women are from venus" implies the existence of at least 6 other local genders of extreme variability, hundreds of thousands of other celestial genders, and possibly infinite extrasolar genders, many beyond what science has currently charted

    3 (cont). when you experience a shift in something like that for yourself - you cry a lot about your dad and now you're noticeably less affected by criticism - you realize that people are spending their entire lives haunted by the past, and it seeps into everything they do

    3. once you see people go from, like, being mad at their coworker for criticizing them to crying about how their dad never told them they were proud of them (made-up example but similar to something i have) it gets *real* hard to take people's reactions to things at face value

    Okay. Here's a THREAD about divestment (and why it's driven mostly by economics, not good citizenship), theories of change in climate / energy, and the power of tapping into self-interested economic motivations among corporates, banks, and investers. Ready? Here we go.

    Just tried this out with my phone, and yeah, "how big is a wolf" in Google gives an info box which, when clicked open, has a "view in 3D" option. Give it access to your camera, and it will place a 3D wolf in the same space as you.

    "Minds are basically computers" is wrong if you think of computers as abstract turing machines but spot on if you think of computers as a horrible assemblage of kludges bridging incompatible legacy code which only work because critical bugs are masking other critical bugs.

    Kääntäjänä parasta (ja mälsän harvinaista) on päästä älyllisesti haastavien, hyvin kirjoitettujen tekstien kimppuun. Kuten :n artikkeli :sta ja IFS-psykoterapiamallista, joka minusta jokaisen kannattaisi tuntea useastakin eri syystä.

    I woke up dreaming I had the unicorn startup HugsAllRight: an app signalling whether it was OK to hug as a greeting. Could also be broadcast using a dongle. Motto: "Disrupting hugs!" (Actually, systems for discreetly signalling social preferences do sound like a good idea)
