oori··on The Engineering of a Disposable Diaper [video]
I use such washable diapers for my kid since day one. he's two year old, and I've probably saved a ton of landfill (800 days * 5 per-day * 250gr (??) = 1 Ton (!!!).

What's scarier is how plastic diapers are pushed in the developing world, specifically India - where there is no proper landfills, which escalates this problem considerably.

Modern washable diapers aren't what you parents used, they are slick and simple to use. highly recommended.

oori··on AI and the Future of Civilization: A Conversation With Stephen Wolfram
quote: "What makes us different from all these things? What makes us different is the particulars of our history, which gives us our notions of purpose and goals. That's a long way of saying when we have the box on the desk that thinks as well as any brain does, the thing it doesn't have, intrinsically, is the goals and purposes that we have. Those are defined by our particulars—our particular biology, our particular psychology, our particular cultural history."
