The population is susceptible to memetic viruses of a certain shape; when it comes to neutralising the harmful ones, is the best way to engineer benevolent ones to take their place?

Europeans can hold formidable discipline when pointed at a morally-flavoured target, and the tragedy is that nowadays it doesn't mean clean streets or anything nice and productive like that, but more like, not installing AC

at this point when my Polish relatives ask me about another insane piece of news from Britain I just respond with "I love the place, but I consider the modern state of the United Kingdom to have lost legitimacy to rule" and that simplifies things

Widespread air-conditioning would be nice, but the problem remains that a 35°C clear day is fundamentally temperamentally un-British. Inducing full cloud cover over England would solve this

Taipei seems like such an unreasonably artsy city. Which is also an interesting contrast with the omnipresent decrepit façades. Maybe they skimped on the maintenance of those so that they could pour their care into everything else

Manga volumes can be so mesmerising, as a physical object. The little book hosts so many and such dynamic illustrations, that are tamed only by the page boundaries, neatly packaged and contained away. Such a pleasure to peruse

Ironic that UK is pushing for age controls given that it's a quite difficult place to implement those Other places often have the infra to make age verification one-click, and yet they aren't the ones that want to check ID for internet access

Studying two foreign languages at the same time but at different proficiency levels is an interesting comparison as to what the challenge at each level is. Mainly it makes it apparent that the curve feels like this

This might sound silly but this realisation has been a breakthrough just now – turns out the charts were actually holding me back as I had been putting more faith in them than in the evidence of my own ears and those tone charts are in the 'not even wrong' territory!

The most important thing you should learn when studying Chinese is that those charts are nonsense and you should discard them past the first lesson

It's been helpful to have had small ideologies, believe in them, start implementing them, and then witness their failings. At some point one just has to accept the humility of being fallible I think one should extend this to the big ideologies too

I promise what follows is unironic and not a critique of OP everyone should be a doctor. Everyone should be practicing medicine . You’re in your body 24 hours a day what do you mean you don’t want to bend it to your will. You’re just like… letting other people decide what your body does???
