Humans have the advantage of billions of years of evolution.

So if I’m understanding this right… There are turtles that live predominantly on land, which eat meat and plants, and there are tortoises which live on land that only eat plants?

Land turtle.

Switched to brave after about a decade of Firefox, switched back to firefox after a couple of years because chromium based browsers still smell of corporation. Been getting curious about Librewolf.

#s2,6,7 are finalists. In my opinion they all contribute to society.

#2 seems to have low ambition.

#6 is framed as being unethical by lowering the value of scenery business. I interpret this as the AI art problem. My opinion is people do what they are passionate about. If their job puts people out of work they were just doing the job for the money. Handcrafted bespoke furniture is no less valuable due to cheap flat packed IKEA furniture’s existence.

#7 provided value to society but seems to have a zero sum mindset.

So, not knowing what the inheritance is makes deciding between them difficult.

Blindly choosing I’d say #2.

If it were a one of a kind piece of art, say van gogh’s “starry night” I’d say #6. As it might provide some perspective to them.

If it were something truly priceless… I might choose #7. The zero sum perspective is hard to hold when you can’t calculate what it would take to get back to zero.

Step 1 Lay hands palm down. Grabs each lace in each hand. Make two thumbs up. ( laces should oriented shoe-thumb side, aglet-pinky side.) Extend index fingers.

Step 2a With right hand loop the lace around your thumb then index finger. With left hand loop around the opposite way, finger then thumb.

Step 3 Place left hand index finger under right hand lace(between right hand index and thumb.)

Step 4 (simultaneous) Use right hand to grab left hand lace (around left hand index finger). Use left hand to grab right hand lace ( around right hand thumb)

Step 5a pull laces all the way through each other.

You now have the over under part.

Repeat steps 1-5 with these changes

Step 2b right hand - finger then thumb Left hand - thumb then finger.

Step 5b Do not pull laces all the way through.

You now have a finished knot.

If you ignore 2b And do 2a both times you will still have a knot but it is likely to come untied.

If you ignore 5b you will have a knot but no “bows”

Hope that helps!

Edit 2: A Ted talk on the process

Edit 3 Oops that ted talk only tasks about the normal way, this one does the fancy way that I was referring to.

Lxqt - desktop environment

I3 - window manager.

Not super pleased with Lxqt but it’s good enough.

The moon is a great launching point. And the water (ice) could be converted to fuel for rockets.

Basically with a permanent moon base we could send much bigger payloads, could refuel rockets before sending them out further into the solar system, could set up observatories that wouldn’t be affected by the atmosphere, could collect solar energy and send it back to earth via microwaves. Not to mention all the geological science, spelunking, and moon golf we could be doing.

There’s all kinds of things we could do.

Maybe get your niacin level checked? If you are low in niacin your body will use tryptophan to make it. And tryptophan is also used to make serotonin. So low niacin could mean low tryptophan which could mean low serotonin which could mean low melatonin. I’m not on APs, I spend time in nootropics communities. So definitely check with your doctor. Might also look in to n-acetyl-cysteine, however I’d put more stock in the niacin angle.

Well let’s start by examining the phrase “free will”

The term free has at least two different meanings in common language.

A) free as in beer ( free from cost) B) free as in speach (free from control)

Both of these could be broken down more (e.g. Monetary cost, entropic costs, mental cost and societal control, individual control, physical control… Etc)

Now, “will” is a bit more tricky. In this context we generally use it to mean “choice” However desire, and intention also get mentioned in the definitions.

1. desire
2. intention
3. choice

When commonly discussed I would say people tend to talk about B3(the ability to choose without external physical control)

I would argue 3 requires 2 which requires 1

So now we discuss B1 - are we free to pick our desires.

This I find to be interesting. We often see people desiring things which seem foolish. Foolish as is Unwise. What makes something foolish? Seems to me foolishness is caused by a lack of data and poor modeling.

At this point my phone battery is at 6% So I’ll cut my response short. I see no truly free will. I think our desires can be shaped over time via our input (previous choices) however we can’t roll a die and pick our desires.

I don’t think this is a bad thing. Just maybe not ideal but what is in this world?

I don’t understand the mechanism they expect to use to draw the energy back out of the water heaters and the article doesn’t seem to mention it. TEGs arent very efficient. Water heaters don’t get hot enough for steam generators. I guess you could use the hot water to supplement house hold heating via radiators. But that becomes a complex system. Anybody got any ideas about what they might be talking about?
