Don't like this since it's probably based on gpt3 and I can see how the results can easily be gamed, and how unrelated nouns can sometimes have a higher correlation based on artifacts in gpt3

Yes. Seems like people remember when he's right because he's like their prophet or something.

LOL you realize Alex Jones just says obvious shit and takes credit right?

When has he ever said anything profound that turned out to be correct?

It's all about the feedback loops between the brain, instrument and fingers.

Musical training is an amazingly fast way to shape your brain if you know what you are doing. It's one of the few engaging activities that offer that quick feedback and covers so many areas of the brain.

You can find hundreds of studies linking music and cognitive ability.

Another: brings in more retail traders who base their decisions on the price of the stock

shares down negligible? It's down 6% after hours, and was down 4% intraday which took no wind out of the sails.

I like blue toilet water

I find it amazing that people ever think that there might be a one-size-fits-all solution to a subjective human experience.

Spaghetti Sauce, Fonts.

Sure no one likes dog crap in their sauce, so there are obvious experiences no one likes, but to assume that there is one single one that everyone likes?

Sometimes we get so nearsighted that by reframing the question it seems obvious.

Oh sorry I read their comment incorrectly

They basically said stable relationships are more stable than unstable relationships and you want evidence?

The expectations are coming from our exposure to apps, articles, videos, education and opinions. It's not all in the author's head.

I'm not at all sexually frustrated like most men and yet I still feel all of the same things.

Eric Schmidt, the guy who stated that if you have nothing to hide then you shouldn't be afraid of google?

Sure that's an easy way out to point out a division like that and attempt to take the high ground.

Or just don't reply.

You don't like the idea that the majority of people aren't very intelligent and that 90% of innovation comes from 10% of people.

That's okay. Reality often isn't easy to digest. I don't like the human species most of the time either. But if you want to create systems that redistribute wealth, knowledge, etc then first we must understand the reality of what we are dealing with.

And this has nothing to do with elitism. You just pulled the simplest term you could think of in order to justify for yourself why you're right and don't like the words I wrote. Now in your head you can attach my words to elitism and convince yourself that elitism is bad, rather than substance of the actual words I said.

It's okay. We all think like this.

Don't males have denser bones? Random thought (probably a stupid one), but maybe they are more likely to last?

Funny. Maybe the desire for acceptance and popularity on social media incentivizes articles that defend social media to be written.

I'm not sure how anyone can actually be in denial about how bad social media, and constant notifications are for the brain.

You don't like the word "masses" is all

For the masses. Not for people who know how to think. It gives people a false sense of confidence and arrogance when they tell you they know how to research

And now rather than being spoonfed, propaganda requires just a click or two.

Even worse imo. Makes you feel like you are in control of the content you find when for the vast majority of people you are not.

"Younger Americans are more balanced"

It doesn't have much to do with laziness. It has to do with your ability to filter and discern what is going on, your ability to hold multiple and opposing ideas in your head at once, etc etc.

Laziness is one factor.

"Recipe sites are notorious for SEO tactics. They all follow the same highly optimized format with the stupid story about the author's grandma and how they just couldn't get enough of these cookies, and how the recipe was lost for 90 years until recently their great great uncle Lou found a copy of the recipe in an old donut."

I LOL'ed. Thank you for that.

those sites would just clone themselves with a different domain

I met a girl last night in Mexico and she said, "you're not American are you? Americans are loud and they always want the rest of the world to hear them."

This is the sentiment I was trying to express. It's definitely not a cliche. I also find on a slightly related note that a lot of problems on social media are American problems and the rest of the world doesn't really care.

And I feel bad typing this but it's true, and if the USA wants to climb back from its decline it is going to need to get comfortable with reality.

He is playing a character.

Met him and he showed the opposite of what he was trying to sell his audience.

Claims he doesn't care about money then took a bunch of huge sponsorship deals. Claims he didn't want fame but went on to try to network with a guy from Hollywood claiming he could make him famous. Claims to love everyone, and given the chance he attacks people with deep anger. Has a massive massive ego, always brags about being alpha.

I donno, hes just not in any way who he claims to be.

In my analogy I was meaning to say Putin is a parasite to the USA's host.

I was attempting to argue that it's not so much that Putin is strong, it's that right now the west is weak.

And sure one could argue against that and say that the west uniting against him is a sign of unity and strength. But I'm not so sure.

Hasn't it happened many times throughout history? It might not appear natural as we can identify a direct cause of it.. But who's to say it wouldn't happen in some other form with different actors if it didn't happen with Putin?

I think we are all a little anxious, and trigger happy. Our police, our politicians.

It's like as soon as something remotely similar to a movie they've seen happens everyone thinks, "omg it's happening!" Civil war is happening, just like in the movies. Time to invoke the emergency act.

People seem to have little patience these days to actually think things through. You have people like Trudeau running away and pretending to be sick instead of dealing with issues head on. Either they're out of touch, or something worse.

It's not my fault, it's society's fault. Society put those ideas in my head lol

Just watching the score of this post go up and down is interesting how controversial it is I guess??

I agree with you. And yes I could and probably am manipulated to an extent.

But... I have noticed this before 2016. Years before.

Example of bad American institutions: physical therapy, high schools, colleges for physical therapists. Food. Look at how horrible people eat in America. You'd expect the best country in the world to have a little bit more education when it comes to their bodies and the filth (food, pollution, information) they put into them. Not to mention how horribly ignorant people are about their physical health. These are the ones I have noticed.

I can't comment on the others.
