Zero time today. Wow, never heard that excuse around here before. :eyeroll: Okay, prerequisite material is here. Let’s hit the obvious stuff and expand later. -Most people show little to no activity in the greater parietal-occipital regions in the center-back … Continue reading →

Some thoughts: -Snowden has an extremely warbly voice. Schneier has more of a pedantic, nasally voice like Wozniak (I think this is probably what I sound like). Further examples of extreme warble are the Cinema Sins guy and the Don’t … Continue reading →

The really interesting thing about network matrices is they can represent any formal system. More to the point, anything mathematical in nature (systems of equations, computer programs, flowcharts, org charts) can be represented by a list of objects and a … Continue reading →

Reading this, it occured to me that I haven’t yet made the connection between ADD and reality focus (vs. interpersonal focus), although it seems elementary to me. Bad Aeoli. Empathic people are much more like Turing machines because their understanding … Continue reading →

Speaking of conversations with Mr. Donovan Greene, here’s a bit of game theory based on a common social dilemma which he posed to me. Problem and intuition are his, mathematical development is mine. Person A doesn’t like doing activity X, … Continue reading →
