An Interesting paper. basically he draws upon several times academics were wrong and argues that’s why we should promote diversity of ideas. The examples might be useful to people who like this kind of stuff. http://damascusssteel.tumblr.com/post/90055407780/on-the-benefits-of-promoting-diversity-of-ideas

Stuff like focus and accomplishing tasks within a predetermined timeframe. Just being efficient in my work and more well-adjusted in society in general as well. The psychology of adjustment stuff lukeprog posted is really interesting to me.
I just thought the discussion on the fallacy was really interesting and people here might want to know about it. I haven’t read the book , but been looking at teh reviews and some of Dyke’s free papers. From the summaries she’s saying it has implications eg for people who are interested in metaethics or metaphysics and talk about moral language or material constitution. It probably is relevant to some of the sequences here. Especially the one on reductionism , language and philosophy in general. I definitely think the A vs B theory debate is interesting. It really about time as we represent it in physics vs time as we experience it and describe it in language (at least that’s what I feel the major issue is).
The representational fallacy
So I was reading so8res’ story and I felt the same way. Like I had memorized a bunch of signals without gaining deeper understanding during my education. Question: how do you start over and “get” stuff all over again?
Cool. Any advice on lectures to look at?
Yeah. I push them out of my mind or take a break to do something I enjoy.

I’m look into productivity and stuff like that. I see lukeprog so8res have some stuff on that. I saw a couple commentors recommend David Allen. Any recommendations on stuff to start with or books I should start reading? Thanks in advance
Also can anyone get the sequences by so8res and lukeprog in epub? I looked at the wiki where all teh sequences were in epub and didn’t find them there. It would be really helpful if I could get them there.
I’m Daniele De Rossi. I stumbled on Lukeprog’s old site and thought the problems he was talking about :-rationality , friendly AI , psychology of adjustment , were all really interesting to me , so I followed him here. I’m interested in productivity stuff now primarily. I need to manage my time better and get more done.
Sorry. fixed.
