Life's a mess. We're all many things, all the time. We are the sum of all our feelings. If I've lived all my life in one place, having grown attached to it, it would be very difficult for me to decide to leave it for good.

And attaching to Freud more foreknowledge just because he happened to be Freud, the intellectual, is simply to deny him his humanity.

This whole article could perhaps be summed up thus: Freud was just like all of us, attached to the past, blind about the future, hoping for the best even at the worst of times.

Unfortunately for Linux users, it's far from being the same thing.

This overlay gives every window a cool-retro-term vibe, expanding the scope of the retro look.

Anyway, thanks for searching for something similar.

However, consider what codingdave have told you about the Socratic questions. The ones in the video are no doubt helpful for someone trying to find their way on a text. But they are not Socratic questions.

Good luck for your project.

The answer to the title's question is no. Yet again the reproducibility problem.

I've took the liberty to correct it for you, so your comment can appear at Hacker News Predictions [1]. I like your prediction, btw.

I chose this Kobo for its bigger screen, as well as hackability. It was cheaper than a corresponding Kindle. Also, I knew I could easily install Koreader [1] in it, pretty much the only UI I have been using for many years now. I'm glad I did.

However, and this is important. Though happy with this Kobo, truth is that it feels cheaper. I keep it on a good case, and I use it with care, as I'm pretty sure it won't survive any fall from whatever height I may drop it. And my previous Kindle, a paperwhite 4, had its tumbles, and survived them quite nicely. And not exactly because I was fortunate. So there's that.

But don't get me wrong. I'm not Kindle-nostalgic. I just have enough experience with both to know what I can reasonably expect from my current device.

His is a fascinating book. I read it a long time ago, so I'm missing most details. But I remember how thrilled I was upon reading it, for how much it drove me to think outside the box.

I still find it fascinating, a mixture of 'this can't be right', and, at the same time, 'makes so much sense'. As I have no dog on this race, I really don't care what is the right answer. I will still recommend Jaynes' book in a heartbeat to anyone interested in the topic of consciousness and its history.

> I recall very clearly, there was a moment, at a conference to determine the campaign's "farm strategy," when a respected and very conservative Senator arose to say: "Barry, you've got to make it clear that you believe that the American farmer has a right to a decent living."

> Senator Goldwater replied, with the tact for which he is renowned: "But he doesn't have a right to it. Neither do I. We just have a right to try for it." And that was the end of that.

One thing is to have the right to have something, the other to simply have the right to try for it. This relates with the second passage I quote:

> Man can survive in an inclement universe only through the use of his mind. His thumbs, his nails, his muscles and his mysticism will not be enough to keep him alive without it.

It's inescapable. The universe, and everything it, is indifferent to me and what I hope for. I'm not more deserving just because I happen to be here now. But I can try to make the most of it while I can. If anything, I have the right to try to find that. But I most definitely have no right to have that granted to me just because.

I gave out quite a laugh while I was reading this. More so, because I peeking at the article with my stern scientific mind. Now I know that dogs and humans process language differently at University of Maryland.

Obviously the sentence should've been written:

> who studies at the University of Maryland how dogs and humans process language

That being said, I have an issue with this being called 'therapy'. It may as well be, if we just think about the person receiving the benefit. However, it's a bit predatory through the lense of the other person.

But it's like you said. It's not binary. Yes, it bothers me a little. Nonetheless, as with everything, it may have its uses.

Again, thanks for your comments.

Yes, in a way we are always using others as means to an end. But to make this interpretation true, I have to really push the boundaries of what I mean by using others, by mean, and by end.

However, let us try to think this from a different perspective. How about what others in this _experiment_ felt? How would you feel if someone came out of nowhere and asked you to give them this or that when you cannot even fathom why they are doing it?

To me, this so-called therapy may work for the people exposing themselves in order to get exposed to negative reactions. But this is just a very self-centered way of treating other people as cardboard cutouts, not as real persons. They are merely background features like trees, cars or streetlights.

In the end, maybe you get a kick out of getting out of your comfort zone. But you're also training yourself to be indifferent to the feelings of others. If that's the trade-off of this _therapy_, no thank you.

What is really happening? This is as _ad hominem_ as it can get. Boo! Bolsonaro uses it, so block it. So maybe this is an oversimplification of the real reason. Anyway, I don't get it.

There are more like those. Telegram anime chat channels are also a good source to anything anime.

Or, if you will, that the Norwegian lessons aren't that useful to the USA. The differences are bigger than any similarity.

However, your point still stands, because exceptions are just that, exceptions.

I'm highly pleased with it. From all other platforms I've tried, Jitsi is the saner, offers more freedom and is more inclusive (no account needed). As an educator, platform inclusiveness ranks very high on my criteria for choosing which way to go.
