Oh, I was quite taken in by him. Do you have any specific recommendations for detailed critiques/more information? Thank you

Edit: a bit of googling turns up a number of results. E.g https://www.reddit.com/r/HubermanLab/comments/18qrjzl/lustig...


There's also fireflies.ai


Cool project! Thanks for sharing


That's a good way to get shot.


Only in uncivilized countries.


Pedestrians can conceal-carry.


Yep. As I lay dying on the ground, bleeding from every orifice, my organs and bones crushed to a fine pulp at the blunt end of a BMW X7 going 50mph. I will reach for my gun and shoot my assailant.

Yep definitely a real plan that solves real problems. /s

[edit] Or was the plan to prevent the collision in the first place? As I see the driver coming for me, murder in their eyes, I will smoothly draw my weapon, shoot the driver through the windshield, leap into the air and sail smoothly over my assailant's steel battering ram, executing a perfect three-point superhero landing as my fellow pedestrians cheer.

Was that the idea instead?


I'm not specifically advocating that everyone carry guns -- I was just responding to the phrase "that's how you get shot". Entitled drivers should recognize their own mortality in the event that they threaten pedestrians with a gun.

But I do prefer your scenario instead.


I don't disagree with anything you said. But as an individual, I can at least heed the advice to not attempt to recycle plastics if I'm not certain it won't ultimately end up in the ocean. The landfill is the lesser of two evils.


Yeah, it was referenced in the article.


> I used to be very dissociative/escapist like the author and now I'm not

I would love to hear more about how that change happened. I'd like to make a similar transition myself.


I realised that the dissociative response was due to a strong emotional response that I wasn't properly addressing. In my case there were a few causes:

- I severely lacked the organisational skills required to break down big work into smaller pieces so I got overwhelmed easy

- I had lacked confidence in things I was unfamiliar with like DIY or marketing

- sometimes I wasn't sure of the concrete next step and avoided the task instead of figuring it out

The way out for me was that through mindful meditation I learned to become aware of when I was checking out, and instead I would just think about what might be causing me strong emotions, usually the next thing I was supposed to be doing. Then I'd work through said emotion by solving the issue that was causing it.

Happy to elaborate via email if you want (in my profile).


Not popularity, but familiarity. You don’t have to play the odds if you already know what tools your team has experience with.

I agree this would be a more sensible behavior for form submission, but given that ship has long since sailed: https://xkcd.com/1172/


Very slow and laggy on my phone.
