  • I feel my social battery recover when I have positive experiences with friends and even with strangers. But I used to think I was introverted because working up to do anything social was a huge drain. Turns out the problem isn’t people, it’s my anxiety…

    Are there any introverts that don’t have much anxiety? What’s the opposite like?








  • I don’t know. To me agency and free will feel pretty separate. Events are necessitated by the past and the laws of the universe. But us choosing to do something is a part of that, and so are our values. I’m not sure if I would act any different if I believed in Compatibilism or free will, but I don’t think I would. How would life be any different?

    Unless you’re getting determinism mixed up with pre-destination




  • How much work do we actually need to do to maintain our lifestyle? I’d say a lot less than we’re currently doing. Just think about all the waste that goes into Bitcoin. What about insurance, or any number of jobs. Humans create systems (or that’s what I got out of that episode of connections) but those systems are not necessarily efficient at benefiting equally.


  • So I can’t actually find anything from a quick search that tells me what “bread poisoning” is. Searches show results for both moldy bread as well as ergotism. Just about every source on the Internet tells me that eating a bunch of moldy bread should just give you a bad case of shits or vomits. But if someone is immunocompromised or has gut issues it could be worse.

    But if this was ergot poisoning that’s different and doesn’t have much to do with ordinary bread mold.
