Just curious as to where this has ever actually worked out well?

Why do you think so?
logarhythmic··on Facebook Fired Employee Who Collected Evidence of Potential Political Bias
Yeah, that was essentially what it was. Such a viscous response to a person like Damore is also quite comical and makes one look pretty ridiculous
logarhythmic··on Joscha Bach: Artificial Consciousness and the Nature of Reality [video]
It doesn't really bother me, but for what it's worth, the host (Lex Fridman) has stated that it's simply the way he speaks as a result of his brain trying to choose what thread to follow and what to say
logarhythmic··on YouTube bans Stefan Molyneux, David Duke, Richard Spencer for hate speech
Lol I can't even tell if you're being satirical or not
logarhythmic··on YouTube bans Stefan Molyneux, David Duke, Richard Spencer for hate speech
Why are they not? Ben Shapiro is literally a standard conservative talking head who only now is seen as controversial because American politics is insane. And I'm pretty sure it's Rogan's choice who he wants to talk to. Policing that ruins the entire appeal of the podcast and just turns it into exactly what people were trying to get away from, i.e. heavily produced and filtered content on mainstream television such as late night talk shows or whatever

It's bizarre to me that this is an opinion people have unironicaly. Conservatism is not equivalent to Nazism. For society to actually function there needs to be a healthy tension between the status quo and possible reform

Come on... It's not so simple

logarhythmic··on Ask HN: How do you manage self-study?
Not sure how helpful this is, but I make a list of all the most pressing things I want to learn and everyday I'll look it over and choose whatever I feel like doing for however long I want.

The point here isn't efficiency, this is basically the bare minimum I think one can do while still learning and making progress, i.e. you don't need to follow a rigorous schedule or cultivate a great deal of self discipline if you enjoy the task. Doing even 20 minutes is always better than nothing at all.

Do this and slowly build up discipline by pairing it up with consistency.
