> Public policy and morality should be the domain of reason, evidence, freedom, experience, and compassion.

What if scientists don't understand reason? Do they see science is subject to reason, considering that the matter of science is something of which can only be described through a reasoning process? There is no science without reason; there is reason without science.

It is also interesting to see the continual replication nature of philosophical mistakes, even though they have been refuted by decades. The author confuses vaccine for polio as a scientific breakthrough, where that's just the effect. The scientific breakthrough is the study of pathology, which only happens in a total abstract world (the definition of science) -- that's _the_ cause. It's like proclaiming the end of murder just by enacting a law stating murder is over. Reminds me of the mistakes made by Comte's positivism (or Bush's "Mission Accomplished"), the obvious Kant confusion (form over matter), and, why not?, the devilish conclusions made by Heidegger (won't describe them here on purpose and would love to hear otherwise).

It’s nice to see this modern realization of something well documented and prescribed in philosophy for 1600 years. In Arabic, the origin of the word “human” means “one who forgets”.

Forgets about what? Just what is important.

And that’s the fate of the modern man: to look at a planet called Venus and see a gender, instead of asking why or trying to figure out how we came to that conclusion. By investigating that, one could easily understand also why it is inhabitable.

May be hard to ingest, but I suggest the Treatise of the Sphere to begin with.

> Look, it’s our beautiful friend Venus. Contrary to popular belief, Venus is not our “sister,” and it does not have a gender. Neither does Mars. Actually, they are just rocky bodies surrounded by gas, in orbit around the Sun!

Let’s throw 2400 years of knowledge in symbolism and philosophy in the trash and yay Descartes, Heiddegger and Kant!

Funny anecdote: Foucault raised this issue because he didn't his intimate preferences to be made public. Now, on creating a whole theory on top of that...

If you have dependents, DO NOT listen to "hang tight and figure out your life" kind of advices; your dependents comes first, you no longer own your life.

1. Reach out to friends in the industry and former colleagues 2. Meanwhile, apply to jobs in LinkedIn (this is for FAANGs) 3. Stack Overflow has a good job board 4. Look for almost-FAANG tech companies, such as NVIDIA, HP, Dell, etc. 5. Consider moving -- Denver, Boise, Austin, etc. Industry is booming in these cities.

> Despite this limitation, the Nanoprocessor powered numerous Hewlett-Packard devices ranging from interface boards and voltmeters to spectrum analyzers and data capture terminals.4 The Nanoprocessor's key feature was its low cost and high speed: Compared against the contemporary Motorola 6800,7 the Nanoprocessor cost $15 instead of $360 and was an order of magnitude faster for control tasks.

Parents should educate their kids, regardless of any disorder. The disorder is actually allowing these solutions to replace the only thing that no one can give: your attention and love.

But it’s a nice engineering project!
