  • @Simon My moral reasoning has definitely been strengthened a lot as I have got older. 

    Aging in and of itself does not raise ones moral standards. Thinking about morality does. The more you think about life and the more you ponder various scenarios that require a moral response, the higher your standards will become. If you are constrained by…[Read more]

  • An up-and-coming all-girl rock quartet from Argentina.

    Last month, Fin del Mundo (“end of the world” in English) exploded onto the Latin American emo/indie/post-rock scene with their debut release: a self-titled EP complete with four carefully-crafted and stunningly beautiful tracks that represent the achievement of a specific and sou…[Read more]

  • He’s good. He’s also a big promoter of Freeze the Fall, a younger trio (ages 15 and 16) that he and I see as possibly following The Warning to the top in a few years. The singer guitarist is good but the bass and drummer (both 15) are next level.

    It never ceases to amaze me how super-talented musicians manage to find each other even in relatively…[Read more]

  • Unseen,

    More proof that AI is only as good as it’s input and processing and still has many roads to travel, so to speak, before it is our Robot Overlords.

    Private solutions to ameliorating transportation problems are happening now in the form of miniaturization, micro-ization, and nano-ization of products. It means many more products get…[Read more]

  • Robert,

    The biggest “cryptobro” con-artist was Sam Bankman-Fried, and he was a proponent of Effective Altruism. He certainly achieved “Effective Altruism” by getting others to sacrifice their earnings.

    Anywho, Effective Altruism is ya’ll’s baby, not Libertarianism’s.

    Me, I wouldn’t fully trust any electronic currency that’s not based in…[Read more]

  • Unseen,

    Everything you said regarding Libertarianism in the first paragraph can be also said of any flavor of Statism or Collectivism. They are all “oughts,” though “oughta” can be based on an “is,” which “is” the case with Individual Rights, which are conditions of existence for survival and flourishing of Man, The Rational Animal.

    I…[Read more]

  • And unseen has said it many times; the only “rights” ever respected are those given by a government with the strength to enforce them. Not saying that governments never go astray; but notice that whenever this happens it is always because an individual or a small number of individuals gain too much power.

  • The “crypto bros “are a concrete implementation of the ideology. Just a cesspool of libertarians scamming each other with “pump and dumps” and “rug pulls”. And then a bunch of them start complaining “we need some regulation”, LOL. As if that is a new idea.

    As if individuals are going to do better than an organized attempt at creating a just…[Read more]

  • Oh, I like that. I’ve seen online sites that can separate music into tracks, but I haven’t messed with them yet, and I’m sure they’re not this good. But they’re handy when you want to play or sing along with specific tracks.

    I came to post about another lesson on listening. I was impressed by Dany’s high belting in HYCAD, live, but it wasn’t a…[Read more]

  • Can our capacity for moral reasoning be strengthened.

    My moral reasoning has definitely been strengthened a lot as I have got older.  I don’t know whether it’s experience, or learning about theory, or both.

    What has made it get better are two or three things: more compassion, more (cognitive) empathy – figuring out…[Read more]
