- hell yeah, I called it 4 months ago.
paying attention to new papers in the next 6 months that are about decoding animal language. we're empirically finding out they're all talking - i've never even contemplated this idea that fire COULD BE INVISIBLE???
- has anyone written about the phenomenon where autists go from really bad socializing to being way better than the average normie once they realize the game has rules that you can debug & create new rules?
- I think about this lock a lot it's not going to be replaced with something higher tech. Because this lock serves an important function: it is security that is easily verifiable by the user. It's not enough that it's secure, it needs to be clear why it's secure to the user

has anyone written about the phenomenon where autists go from really bad socializing to being way better than the average normie once they realize the game has rules that you can debug & create new rules? - I still can't believe the real bottleneck to doing great things in society isn't time or money or resources, it's finding competent people who care
- Replying to @DefenderOfBasicI like this ending to the article
