goodmunky··on Study of 1M-year-old skull points to earlier origins of modern humans
Their biology simply filled a different ecological niche more effectively, it’s the same for all life.

Have you not observed that science is very often politicized, filled with fraud or just plain mistaken? The anti-intellectual position is anti-skepticism.
goodmunky··on Medieval Africans had a unique process for purifying gold with glass (2019)
Africa is a such a vast and diverse region that “Africans” is nearly meaningless in this context. But you already know that.
goodmunky··on Marshall Brain has died
He was 63 and wrote this a few years ago, “You’ve Had Your Turn –The Case for Euthanizing Everyone at Age 65” https://marshallbrain.com/youve-had-your-turn-the-case-for-e...
goodmunky··on I got tired of hearing that YC fired Sam, so here's what actually happened
Hmmm so Paul blocked me on X for calling out his effective support for Hamas. And then this double-talk nonsense. He’s really quite something of a fragile little narcissist who can never be wrong.
goodmunky··on The FT's chief executive on AI, "loyalist" readers, and its U.S. expansion
The two are not the same. One promotes radical chemical and surgical intervention in the face of ever increasing evidence that it actually makes lives worse. The other promotes acceptance and belief that you are fine the way you are.

You sound completely and utterly brainwashed amigo.
goodmunky··on New data shows walking down 36% in USA since 2019
I suppose if you’re not American you may not know there was a defund the police movement in 2020 along with decriminalization of “urban camping” around the same time. As a result there are less police on the streets, more crime, and many more mentally ill and addicted homeless. See my home town of Austin, Texas for example. Just yesterday a teenager was hacked by a machete maniac at our town lake. Sane people are now more hesitant to walk many of our popular streets. As a side note, traffic on pedestrian fatalities are up because the mentally disturbed and intoxicated junkies wander into traffic fairly often.

I’m sure it’s totally unrelated to the increase of street junkies and urban crime resulting from the post 2020 “reimagined” policing in many major cities.
goodmunky··on Home schooling's rise from fringe to fastest-growing form of education
>> the kids will only ever be as smart as their teachers and these 'teachers' (ie parents) are not the brightest.

I can feel your arrogance and contempt from here, suffice to say that’s not how “smart” works and it’s certainly not how education works. Sounds like you could benefit from some extra home schooling yourself.

goodmunky··on Peter Thiel was an FBI informant
And that’s exactly the “thought” that hit piece was designed to introduce.
goodmunky··on My solopreneur story
At its best, money is a terrific measure of satisfaction you’ve provided to other people. This man builds products people like and shares the story of his success for free to build an audience. These are all good things. You respond with bitter vitriol, that is not a good thing. If this is how you approach life you will not deserve his success or money.
goodmunky··on Apple's Simple Strategy to Beat Burnout: Freedom
It really is this simple most of the time, but I have not yet been fortunate enough to land a manager who understands this. So burnout and on to the next job it is every few years.
goodmunky··on Apollo will close down on June 30th
What are you talking about? It was a large, vibrant, and rapidly growing community of Trump supporters. Funnest subreddit around before it was banned on completely laughable charge of targeting police. Spez did that.
goodmunky··on Choose Your Weapon: Survival Strategies for Depressed AI Academics
More than thoughts certainly, but don’t be so sure we control our thoughts. There is a lot of subconscious thinking machinery doing the driving. See Master and his Emissary, https://channelmcgilchrist.com/master-and-his-emissary/#:~:t...
