Wow, deflation is becoming so obvious that even the geniuses at Harvard are noticing.

Will slop end creativity? Is creativity a neutral good?

In buddhism, "the world" is material, personal, and full of suffering. It is something to let go.

Yes, kind of baffling name choice? I suspect they totally misunderstood the concept as a replenishing / refreshing cycle rather than the self-perpetuating nature of suffering.

Amazing comment. Wisdom to discern the difference between where you can be agentic and where you can't.

I've been dying for a tool like this. Just want to sort hacker news by week / months. So I could stop checking everyday. Will give feedback

ottomanbob — Tue, 15 Jun 2021 21:46:26 +0000

This generally makes sense to me, but what signifies "significant crimes" besides murder, which is mentioned in the article? I had a friend who was all over the news after being charged with multiple counts of rape and sodomy. He was completely acquitted and the case never went to trial. Still, he'll never clear his name online. That being said, I'm not saying I know what the rules should be.
