He started his essay w/ the example of a gay person.
If you want to be outside of the herd in thought, it would aid you to be something alien to the majority.

I think Archive dot org as they said on Science Friday podcast are not legal archive or otherwise final word, just trying to help out with archiving humanity. If I want to delete some old posts for whatever unsupported reason (or if takeover of domain new robots.txt) then that's how it should go.
IMO.
So that'd be a yes. 301 gold pieces to the priest, not 300.
Some people can't manage their money though, however complicated that is.
Previously I would search the apps name + some obvious terms like malware but those results are too spammy to be helpful now. Extensions are very useful, so I'd hope there'd be some reaction from Google on this.
I should re-read _America_, 1988, Jean Baudrillard.
"You have the same difficulty today distinguishing between a process and its simulation, for example between a flight and a flight simulation. America, too, has entered this era of undecidability: is it still really powerful or merely simulating power?"
"Can Reagan be considered the symbol of present-day American society - a society which, having once possessed the original features of power, is now perhaps at the face-lift stage?
Give your emptiness and indifference to others, light up your face with the zero degree of joy and pleasure, smile, smile, smile. . . Americans may have no identity, but they do have wonderful teeth. And it works."
The simulation, the movie, is greater than the dispossessed actuality, whatever that may be. A movie is visceral, gut thinking, truth. Why fight it, as long as there is a chicken in every pot.
Live to fight another day.
Then you need more and different medications.
A false sense of security can be more risky business than weak security, as pertains to what gets exposed.
Freud had it that sublimated aggression provides energy. Like all things w/ an indisputable theorist, I'm not sure if he's on the right page. However if it was true, it would explain the value in developer holy wars.
Quote from the above link -->
The sublimated libido, according to Freud, contributes to the formation and maintenance of permanent object relations and to the 'molding of psychic structures'; once the psychic structures are formed, the energy is at the disposal of the ego and the superego. Similarly, aggressive energy is 'neutralized' (Hartmann, 1952) and thus can be transferred from the id to the ego. According to Hartmann, Kris & Lowenstein, "the capacity to neutralize large quantities of aggression may constitute one of the criteria of ego strength".
It turns out that my first speeches weren't very good. I didn't understand that writing and speaking are different. When it clicked, I wrote: "I have deciphered the master key to public speaking: use Vanity (idolz) or Pride (topic translatable to lowest common denominator), but not Envy (my endeavors)."
So in my opinion, TED by nature of being oral presentations would skew away from the dry wit, and piercing insight of writing.
I think that the relevant essay is George Orwell, "You and the Atomic Bomb." Just as the 2nd amendment is obsolete due to modern military hardware, privacy is dead if an APT wants in.
Not that I know.
My thinking was along his lines. Now I think that I was in denial. In The Banality of Evil book, the main clerk of the genocide had "the personality of a mailman." He had "winged words." He fuggedaboudit. He forgot what his mind wanted to.
The Nazis were not sorry for their genocide victims. They were only sorry for themselves that they had to be the bad guys. De Nile runs deep.
Battle for the Mind: A Physiology of Conversion and Brain-Washing (Sargant, 1957) says that you need total neurological collapse to convert someone. I guess this is why the book of Nash the mentally ill math genius has better information than the misleading movie that people take seriously. He never got better until he was in a cheap state hospital and they broke out old fashioned insulin comas and such techniques on him. Total brain shock.
There is a debate now about whether torture works. It is all wishful thinking. People are innately convertable. There was a k5 essay about this. Slavery from raids used to be common. The adaptive behavior is Stockholm Syndrome -- you break down and reintegrate to the new tribe. Like Blue Jacket play (no longer being shown since it is ahistorical like the Simpsons play).
