American Christianity is absolutely not reflective of historical Christianity, especially not in its theology. If you want to see a good take-down of American Christianity, read Samuel Clemens.

And no, American Christianity did not change one bit since the time Mr. Clemens flourished (mid-late 19th century).

Every political typologist considers the Nazis and fascists to be far-right. Saying otherwise either makes you look unbelievably ignorant, or one of those Nazi/fascists who are lying about their heritage.

Best Sonic the Hedgehog game imo

This guy/gal is writing sensationalist propaganda. Spectacular collapses of systems are rare, which is why it's noteworthy when they happen. Rather, systems transform. Even his/her example of the Roman Empire wasn't a true collapse but rather a transformation: most of medieval Europe's institutions were continuation of Roman institutions.

What was the name of that essay?

No really. He covers all the important information without bogging down the reader in details, but did it in such a way so that the interested reader can use the post as a map if he wants to find out those details.

The best written science article I've read in my life.

C doesn't have types, they just have word decorations you sprinkle on parameters and variable declarations.

What are static types?

Software bloat is an ideal gas. It always expands to fill the volume of computational speed.

They're going to come up with a real name for this personality type and realize it's worse than RWA.

That last name has to be retired.

Memorization is one of God's greatest graces to the intellectual.

Because seeing the beatific vision is a grace, God does no wrong to His creatures by not giving it (for any reason or through any mechanism).

Limbo is a place of perfect natural happiness. The only thing unbaptized innocents lose is the beatific vision. Otherwise, they're living much better lives than either of us.

You have to have had childhood onset to have ADHD. If problems with attention emerge during adulthood, that might be the beginning of a psychotic disorder, in which case the priority should be to treat the underlying psychotic disorder.

Math is a struggle for everyone. When the Egyptian ruler Ptolemy I asked whether geometry could not be made easier, Euclid is said to have replied: 'There is no royal road to geometry'.

Actual Turing machines (okay, finite state approximations of them, which are the only ones that can physically exist...) have externally imposed intentionality.

Cats aren't Turing complete because they don't have intentionality. Everything it was doing was a result of instinct.

If you have issues with attention that started during adolescence or adulthood, that may be a marker for psychosis and not ADHD. ADHD only starts during childhood (although it might last into adulthood).

That is really cool!

SWTWC was the scariest book I ever read.

> But I fear these are only pipe dreams and you’ll continue to carry on with your spare equipment. The cries of genocide from this Cassandra will continue to remain unheard. And my noble but enfeebled community of the weak, and dying, and the dead will continue to grow and grow — until we are diminished.

Horrifying

Don't take SSRI's. They're the worst medicine, with horrific side effects. Worse than antipsychotics. I lost my ability to sit still because of SSRI's, now I must always pace due to this strange inner restlessness. Learn from my mistakes.

You are getting smarter and smarter every day and in every way.

Hard times may not make strong men, but it's certain that weak men will make hard times.

The prosperity gospel is like something Karl Marx devised as a one-off example to illustrate his theory on the religions late stage capitalism creates.

Join the Catholic Church and get right with God.

> and the last section assumes that AI will have some kind of normal distribution of IQ just like humans, which doesn't make any sense.

The central limit theorem shows that the normal distribution emerges as the limit of the average of independent and identically distributed random variables of any distribution.

No, I'll give it a whirl.
