  I feel like it’s not hard to understand in a general sense. Could be carelessness, depression, ignorance that it will be easy to quit, peer pressure, culture, etc. People make irrational decisions all the time, no matter how “dumb” or “smart” they are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On trees...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with this. But surely there has to be a limit. If we create an extremely complex body where its movement requires solving rhythmic problems based on changing prime numbers, or something like that, would we be able to do it? If we hook up the VR to a squirrel to control a human body, would it be able to do it?

  I think so, yeah. Seeing cable misspelled as “cabel” made it click lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aggressive negotiations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Made me realize how similar cable is to the Spanish and Portuguese for “hair” (cabello and cabelo, resp.). And how cables and hair are related too, I suppose.

  It “traps” consciousness. Or makes it emerge. Whatever flavor of existence you like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On trees...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That makes sense. And I feel like it makes me understand trees better. This is what I’m thinking.

  The fitness landscape for a moving creature underwater is pretty limited. You gotta be hydrodynamic and there aren’t many solutions to that. But we still get variety; eels and jellyfish, for example.

  With plants you also have some strong limitations. Plants don’t move. They’re rooted to the ground. Plus they compete over height. So, the solution set consists of sturdy and tall trees.

  Moving creatures on land have a lot of more options so evolution achieved more variety. I’m not sure if distinct branches of moving creatures on land arrived at the “same” evolutionary solution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On trees...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If a future VR is strong enough to embody us in another body — an animal, a conjured crazy creature, whatever — would we eventually “learn” it? Move around in it? Be it? I feel like the answer is yes.

  I’ve always thought about behind a subscription service with an impossibly obfuscated cancellation process is a person who added “increased customer retention rate by 20%” to their cv.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speak American⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Brazil became such a cultural powerhouse, almost anyone in the world would recognize its flag. So it makes sense. But it’s funny because only Portuguese speakers would need to recognize the flag on that tour.

  To me the process seems most intuitive like this:

  1. Go to homepage
  2. Be able to immediately log in or have separate links for login and sign up

  I find it counterintuitive to have a field on the homepage that looks like a login but isn’t. Does the website have more new users than returning users?
