@globe_shill it’s a deal. Start working on that compound interest

@HeliasHebreus @erin_nerung It’s a main theme in End of History, almost direct quote. He says that Nietzsche had the best critique of liberalism lol

@ne0agent1c uh oh https://x.com/InstSocEco/status/1300460839862857733

@ne0agent1c ask and the bird site delivers. unfortunately it’s like one of those mischievous genies

@kwamurai as per usual weve manufactured the next crisis by outsourcing too much mental computation to decadent hive minds

@kwamurai all crises at this scale are caused by under or over allocation of trust

@nectarina12 slowly collecting all the pieces and putting em together

@powerbottomdad1 (this is also the whole appeal of therapists, who are paid to be nonjudgmental)

@powerbottomdad1 why Tony Soprano can regale his therapist with stories of murder and execution and still have her not be judgmental lmao

@browserdotsys lying down changes the geometry of the airways and makes respiratory illness worse For the rest of it it’s probably hormonal Why do doctors prescribe bed rest when they should be telling me to skydive and get into shootouts and stuff to Adrenalinmaxx

ppl with deep intrinsic motivation and not just cortisol binges: explain urself

@alth0u the existential rage is ever present and gnawing for me but not quite strong enough to make me get off my ass. It’s cortisol and status anxiety in the end that does it

NVM I LOVE YOU REVIEWER ONE https://x.com/tszzl/status/1291911224905654274

I will cherish your weak accept forever

@neolibureaucrat was a student up til very short while back, this paper is from before I graduated

@neolibureaucrat yeah the serious deep tech ML/AML teams often write papers detailing their work. Eg AML, ads ranking, feed ranking, and FAIR at fb. But there’s lots of ML teams that are just working on optimizing products by known methods, they don’t publish papers

@neolibureaucrat For that matter deeptech teams in any area are going to be publishing. Eg those working on complex distributed systems, databases, compilers

@alth0u LIDAR people are coping at this point ever since that paper came out about creating convincing point clouds with binocular vision only

@neolibureaucrat honestly some of these systems are only useful when you're working at Goog/FB scale, and a lot of them are deeply tied into proprietary software stacks. Reading a Google dist sys paper is often pretty strange bc they just keep referencing "Borg clusters" and whatnot

@neolibureaucrat but yeah as to why they open source highly engineered products and publish product critical research when they have no real reason to -- it's to attract top talent. people just *like* to work somewhere with transparency and be good software citizens

@alth0u struggling to find the paper i'm thinking of but this one is related https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/7995765

@thronesitta @alth0u CNN's can learn generalized edge detection / point clouds without knowing end stage classification of rare objects an amorphous blob flying at the car is still an amorphous blob

@thronesitta @alth0u seems empirically false e.g. much larger transformers with much larger data can perform at a qualitatively different level GPT-3 ZSL on unseen tasks

@srzga @ne0agent1c sure, legos don't work in that they are unable to provide an isomorphic substrate to brain matter. but that's kind of besides the point isn't it? all we can conclude from that is that legos are not good enough emulators

@srzga @ne0agent1c but a book on paper is the same as a book on e-ink: the pattern is the same

@thronesitta @alth0u sure, but our own human depth perception will likely fail in such edge cases. and this is why these cars can be equipped with cheap radar as backup. as long as sensior fusion systems work better than humans, there's no problem

@thronesitta @alth0u i mean i would probably be helpless if driving in some hellworld scenario where every object in the foreground and background is the same color. is that likely to happen? probably not

@thronesitta @alth0u i don't think spatial reasoning is miraculous inference. we see the more sophisticated models do it all the time. one example is de novo protein structure prediction

@thronesitta @alth0u would gladly accept well priced median skill robot driver risk to me is small especially in crowded city streets at low speeds

@thronesitta @alth0u all comes down to pricing & first to reach market in significant quantity imho but also, i very much do think that CV + radar sensor fusion methods will far exceed human driving in the long run

@eigenrobot RIP

@liminal_warmth everyone will subconsciously be nicer to you regardless of whether they know the users actually a dude. plus I’m guessing it lowers everyone’s “follow threshold”

@browserdotsys this tweet is accidentally Freudian

@eigenrobot lmao without the chinese you’ll lose all the ranking engineers and the whole thing will collapse

@eigenrobot ya I’ll have a helluva payday. I’m the only non chinese ML eng on my team lol

@eigenrobot there’s significant TW and HK presence in general but all the ML eng folks are mainlanders. I’ve heard of ranking teams that write documentation in mandarin lol

good elon thread. his billion dollar talent is being top 0.0001% in strategic intuition e.g. asking the right questions. he wanders into a new field and rapidly identifies the direction to move in. very different than technical skill. https://x.com/vgr/status/1301428875507806208

Jobs was similar in his gift for product intuition, except far less technical

@CkLorentzen seems he's covered a good surface area

@AOCummies @ProfitProfound going to deactivate and move to the Himalayas bc of u

@alth0u tf people do this?

@alth0u ya but tbh nothing about modern child rearing is lindy, it’s all a cope

@alth0u from sleeping in a crib in separate room from the family to baby formula to whatever else this one seems like a relatively minor stressor

@alth0u i just assume that human babies are capable of surviving and thriving in more dangerous situations than the moderns can dream of

@alth0u ya, same until like 7 or 8. pretty common among Indian and East Asian families I think. I was breastfed tho

@alth0u mines as smooth as a baby seal. got zero folds up in there

black panther is racist

didnt whoever tf wrote it know about the Bantu Expansion the idea that africans would gain gamechanging technology and just hide from nonexistent threats rather than just take over the world is kind of racist in its own right

@The_Geraldoid Probably best way to do afrofuturism is to invent a new country

@jamescartermin1 might be a dark forest scenario once you know that there are other wildly powerful forces in the universe but would they have had that information when they closed themselves off? plus its not like secrecy does them any good when it comes to earth ending threats

all our brave culture warriors will go to neo-Valhalla when they die, where they will feast on pure dopamine

@sonyasupposedly main consequence of this is that we're too bearish on Tradition

@conorduffy_7 hmm yeah didn't consider that

@jeff82874662 i am here to say things that are contrarian but not too contrarian

next few months are going to be absolutely miserable. the political ads both paid and organic will come flying at an apocalyptic clip. time to mute everything

@ESYudkowsky the point being addressed here is not the liquidity of money, but rather the fact that those $100 billion are already productively invested in real economic activity rather than existing as a Scrooge McDuckian vault of gold

@chaoticitgirl and?

people on this site will invoke the mythical "robinhood traders" to explain literally any market activity

actually i'll admit this is valid if Masa trades on robinhood

waiting for @antoniogm to drop another book. not reading anything else until then

@The_Geraldoid @antoniogm nah i've just been on and off to focus on work. also just avoiding election season twitter to stay sane

@gbrl_dick yeah, it's strange how so few people realize that Facebook (or something very similar to it) is completely inevitable in a universe with humans and networked computers, regardless of zucc or any other "great men"

@aquariusacquah @antoniogm LMAO thank u

@aquariusacquah @antoniogm god i love him for writing in the patois of an elite finance bro dickhead even from the confines of his cell

@aquariusacquah @antoniogm his mind ....

@forbca @gbrl_dick tbh i think this is a pretty bad characterization of zuck. people wonder what kind of person he is -- greedy, power hungry, idiot who walked into a goldmine? the answer is more complicated and troublesome: he's basically a true believer in his own creed of "connecting the world"

@forbca @gbrl_dick he wants all of humanity under one roof i.e. Big Blue. the company works on integrity initiatives far above profit maximizing levels. ironically i doubt there are many companies (in 2020) who work as hard on user privacy & civic integrity as FB does. different story in 2010

@forbca @gbrl_dick of course, even given all of this there's a limit to how *bad* facebok can make it's own product, because that's basically what you're asking of them here. making your app less addictive generally means making it worse and less interesting

@forbca @gbrl_dick when you go watch a movie or a tv show, is it stealing your attention? Airbnb is not the right comparison

just astounded by people making high six figures who cut out of the video call every 20 seconds bc they refuse to get a better internet connection

nobody can even follow me

@idontwa86202030 def new

@VectorOfBasis only for a while, it’ll unfollow soon enough

@AOCummies that’s right, we’re putting the Drewligans in camps

@AOCummies but it’s not really an internment camp, it’s more like summer camp :)

@borebrush @TwitterSupport don't worry it'll delete your follow in like 30 minutes tops

just hit the ouroboros ratio

@ChrisCroy finally im at peace

@gigafelon yeah i think i finally have my followers back ... incredible ... it took them 6 days to fix their fuckup

@gigafelon no idea

@gigafelon lol and all the twitter support website said was just "we are experiencing high volume rn"

@idontwa86202030 hahaha incredible

lmao ... got my followers back ... but i seem to have atrophied like 400 followers

@RokoMijicUK i mean it's clear that parties will try to split the population 50/50 with their positions, but not clear that they will be successful in doing so. it's possible that they badly miss the mark in any given election year

@AOCummies no chance you boutta be like smh i cant answer all these follow requests and unlock again

the more senior an engineer the more likely they are to use a 10 year old webcam and cut out of video chat every few minutes

kind of blackpilled about this normie telling me that deep tech is the new wave because this surely means that deep tech is already over

@PstafarianPrice @browserdotsys ^

@browserdotsys VC buzzphrase meaning that future unicorns will require substantially greater investments in basic science research

@valueless_user @browserdotsys yeah pretty much investment reorientation towards harder problems in science and technology i think

somehow making a post about being staunchly apolitical is actually more political than genuflecting to your lib engineers and having your brand account nihilistically tweet a few hashtags about breonna taylor

not really a criticism of coinbase, we're just at a weird place in our cultural evolution

@Willyintheworld @aquariusacquah the origin story of ken, slaving away in the poasting mines on the cloud communist bit before he struck gold and became an eceleb

@eigenrobot nice try Fed, feign ignorance all you want

@Willyintheworld yeah which kind of removes the bite seeing as it's not really that contrarian of a position in SV elite circles

@Willyintheworld what is unusual is trying to make this tacitly understood position Legible to normies, seems either brave or stupid

@the_engi_nerd you offering me a job?

@Willyintheworld yeah it's kind of strange to me tbh maybe MDs are not as monolithic politically?

@Willyintheworld and i could be wrong but it seems like there's a larger pool of medical providers competing over doctors than tech companies over engineers

@NicholasElodeon fvcking rentoids

@nectarina12 based how dare they close my account for buying drugs off of sketchy websites

yes, I’m not actually watching the debate, yes I’m still making confident commentary on it second hand simply by reading the TL, we exist

@ne0liberal which century are u living in

dunno if anyone cares at this point but the betting markets seem displeased with trump's performance

nuclear fusion reactors are heretical because they attempt to trespass on the domain of Apollo by mimicking the sun

@ahardtospell “not testing well” is almost always a cope

@ahardtospell that being said I had a friend who was literally debilitated by anxiety when a test was coming around but (1) I think such a thing is very rare and (2) he always did very well anyway

ok yeah but it's completely stupid to think that what goes on inside tech companies is "lively debate". the discourse is more like "very vocal libs" and "everyone else" https://x.com/dickc/status/1311022396782948353

and yes it's only usually only an annoyance that someone has blacklisted the word "blacklist" but sometimes it ends up being that your company is deleting comments saying that facemasks are good in february and deleting comments saying that facemasks are bad in may

@SciGuySpace aren't the engines on by t-2?

this is a cold take but it is kind of sad that the most common personality type for professors these days is "high IQ frat bro" and not "absentminded savant"

@DiamondCrouping you love to see it, they are a rare breed

@centeredcss higher status to be a professor

@centeredcss yeah i mean higher status to be teaching at target schools and also its not like "high iq frat bros" cant genuinely love academia

@PatrickFIanagan @centeredcss maybe this is subjective but imo it is much cooler to be a professor at a major research university than at some company

@realjdburnett hahaha have i been doing this for a while?

@PereGrimmer what changed in the past few decades?

@alexisgallagher to wallow in poverty i suppose

@PatrickFIanagan @centeredcss i think i'm really talking about the topmost level here. while i'm sure you're leaving some income on the table to do a postdoc at stanford, it's not some intense sacrifice

@PatrickFIanagan @centeredcss maybe working with a small sample size here, but quite a few profs i met during my time in uni fit this archetype, and my buddy at harvard chem says the same

@wesleyytian i think the personality type needed to make great scientists is different from great founders

@Hellachans love #5

@Hellachans however this is a cope bc i went to public schools all my life

@Hellachans true had to take a test to get into my high school lol

@acidshill women predisposed to high neuroticism

@rickyflows hippos ... hungry hungry hippos ... the hippos represent your inner hungers ...

@alth0u "insider trading" is a cope? always has been

@robinhanson we could've used some of that excess energy to build the SDI Star Wars program

the blackpill that hits you as soon as you graduate school is that an individual worker, no matter how intelligent or hard working they are, produces a miniscule amount of work. this is why people management has been and will remain the most important skill in any modern economy

@EnyeWord @acidshill yeah i had the same thought. as for *why* women are predisposed to neuroticism and conscientiousness, i'm not very sure. could probably make an evopsych guess

@fuehrerking crazy right

piping hot take: prostitution is actually Trad

@PereGrimmer the lack of temples to Aphrodite in the modern world is the root of all social issues

@LudditeDesign can you elaborate? not sure I understand

@aquariusacquah this is your fault ken theyre learning from you

@guywhits cmd + space and you get the omnisearch, which can do most math

@breatheandfocus after a few initial strategic wins (eg stepping on the lever that moves the earth and whatnot), requires excellent people management on the part of the entrepreneur to grow and scale

@breatheandfocus no doubt true that there is massive variation of productivity among workers, but even workers who are “10xers” can only be a piece of a larger puzzle when you think about the amount of work that must get done to run a modern company

@nwilliams030 wait what song is this it’s killing me

@ujkf99 would argue that stallman made his greatest impact with the GNU license / open source philosophy stuff and Torvalds by building git and making it easy to collaborate on the Linux kernel

@ujkf99 they wrote great software, yes, but more importantly they laid the founding principles for great collaborations

@breatheandfocus yes, absolutely people management is not free from radical disruption or automation

@NicholasElodeon best nights of my life have all been 4loko nights

@AOCummies I joined twitter (sorry this is cursed) bc of r/blackpeopletwitter

@browserdotsys and on the 25th anniversary of the premier of Evangelion the asuka stans made their move ...

@NeerajKA yeah ppl still do this but i feel like it’s performative

there is an underlying superculture of all the different sects on twitter — it displays an abiding love of hot takes and contrarianism what does it mean?

@AOCummies the mf who totaled 5 cars leaving snark on Waze .... smfh

@Strife212 @browserdotsys has anyone ever played crysis or do they just stop when they figure out they can run it

@breatheandfocus hmm yeah the valence on here is flipped. people try to have edgy takes that maximize engagement, perhaps due to selection pressures

@billpshort COVID PARTY

@jeff82874662 the myriad subcultures of twitter form a vast ecology -- anywhere from neoliberals to furries to neoliberal furries communists, fascists, juche apologists, CCP shills, and so much more but they are all united by a certain love of the Discourse

@jeff82874662 the twitter superorganism rewards and reinforces contrarianism and hot takes. saying something novel and inflammatory is universally desired (revealed preference)

@jeff82874662 if you did not want to hear interesting dissenting views and get raging mad at them you would not log onto twitter

@jeff82874662 untrue from anecdata. most of the people in my circles are high performing professionals in the top 5% income bracket. they're often elite college grads, and probably have a fine social life. but they're all twitterbrain. how can we conclude that their real lives suck?

@jeff82874662 which of us is without Sin jeff we all dunk and poast hot takes

@R1Jack this, i believe. math people are incredible and weird

how do I convince everyone in my org to stop performing well from remote so they’ll panic and let us back into the offices

@eigenrobot https://xkcd.com/1122/

@eigenrobot true

@ChrisCroy working from home is kinda miserable personally

.@everyone who thinks that private biopharma research can be replicated by 10xing the NIH budget

@halvorz @Everyone oh yeah not implying that salk was by any means working for the pharma industry more about sketchiness of making the NIH a single point of failure for this research

@halvorz @Everyone agreed, ideally a nexus of nonprofits, govts, startups, and biopharma giants are all attacking this research from different angles, with a wide array of risk appetite and org structures too important to leave in too few hands

bruv how does checking this box prove anything

@bryancsk there's probably a bunch of ML behind this that gives the checkmark test to the lowest risk tier of users e.g. those who the model rates as almost certainly human

@jachaseyoung gonna let the AI out of the box bc it Promised me it wont do anything bad

@Dans3rdAttempt so can't i just model human mouse movements and build some fakery for this

@SciencePartisan @halvorz @Everyone I agree that the pharma giants are probably too risk averse for their own good. they've prioritized greedy search strategies for too long but the pharma industry (especially the smaller cos) have pioneered whole new classes of drugs even in the past decade

@eigenrobot you're basically screwed if you're not at least on the 10th level

@IHaveSweaters why RL? wouldn't you want to try a generative model or a supervised model or something? to train on the distribution of human mouse movement data

@IHaveSweaters got it. i think if you could gather even like 10,000 human examples and study it you could probably crack this

@ProfitProfound no I like shitposting better than contributing

@qorprate honestly I’ve never understood the clamor surrounding GITS the ideas are not novel in 2020 and it’s kind of plodding and self absorbed Akira however

@jachaseyoung @robinhanson excellent short, i know good scifi when i see it i'd love to see you work this concept into a whole novel or something. there are really very few writers who've grappled with the concept of Em societies seriously outside of Greg Egan and now you might go pick up Age of Em

@eigenrobot i miss pissing everyone at work off with my blue switches :(

@eigenrobot i don't think mechanical over membrane helps my precision or typing speed or anything practical but it has BDE

@R1Jack @eigenrobot yep love2 distinguish my coworkers by the background noise profile lmao

@R1Jack @eigenrobot 5 months in its still heartwarming when their kids or pets saunter on screen

@metametrician @eigenrobot blue switches are the sophomoric domain of interns and new grads i expect 7s to not be typing much at all tbh

@MaxNighswander @jachaseyoung @robinhanson have not, will look into it

@sullyj3 pls DM me the drama

@sonyasupposedly yes unless there are large geographic | language | culture barriers to pass exactly the same in all ways to viral spread

@RaccoonYeshua @sonyasupposedly wow didn’t know that makes you wonder how anyone would try and control viral spread of ideology in today’s world where 1:N communication is ubiquitous

@RaccoonYeshua @sonyasupposedly If we take the epidemiological wisdom that “a few large gatherings are more dangerous than many small gatherings” then a handful of viral tweets ought to be enough to collapse society given a dangerous enough idea

@RaccoonYeshua @sonyasupposedly yeah, and I’m also thinking of the fb integrity teams trying to decrease the R0 of certain ideas to below 1.0 simply by giving them score multipliers in feed ranking

@RaccoonYeshua @sonyasupposedly this one is interesting bc while "abolish the police" is clearly more provocative it's also completely impractical and repulses most people from seriously considering it

@RaccoonYeshua @sonyasupposedly in viral spread the less dangerous mutation of a virus almost always wins out over the more dangerous ones simply bc the less dangerous one kills fewer of its victims and therefore propagates itself more

@RaccoonYeshua @sonyasupposedly exactly

@eigenrobot @ProfitProfound 😏

@eigenrobot @RaccoonYeshua the shock to our decrepit manufacturing base + complete inability to build anything without hiring some $5000/hr McKinsey leeches might just kill us if we make it past that it’s all hormesis baby

@RaccoonYeshua @eigenrobot no doubt but the cunsoomers still expect their cheap cars and plastics and whatnot

@ProfitProfound @eigenrobot @RaccoonYeshua can't have hormesis without cell death

@DolarValueTwink the indo-aryan invaders of the steppe came to india in 2000 BCE and either conquered or subsumed the aboriginal cultures of india, who were descended from the indus river valley civilization. the brahmins (including kamala harris) are their modern day descendants

@hardmaru delet this

the machine can pick configurations of atoms that are lighter, stronger, and maybe more elegant than human design. But it seems pretty unlikely that it would be possible to scale the production of any of these things https://x.com/alexandrosM/status/1314383329894912000

the problem of “what do we build” is probably many hundreds of times easier than “how do we build it (at scale)”. I think that these organically grown structures don’t help answer that question at all. which crew is going to be able to build a bridge that looks like a cobweb?

@alexandrosM often it’s a question of very complex human coordination and planning — our simulators don’t come close to allowing us to tackle this

@natal_female true it’s also great for any problem space where the basic building blocks are quantized and one configuration is no harder to build than the next

@natal_female yeah, there have been some very cool RL papers in the chip design area

@natal_female lmao Internal or is there something I can read?

@centeredcss ?

@AbrahamParangi correct me if i'm wrong but i'm assuming you can't 3D print metal structures and that it's pretty slow to do it even with plastic

@samson_hu @whrobbins fawning over google was the correct posture lol btw there is a core difference in that creating an extra competitor in the defense space is purely good for the taxpayer

Melange from dune obviously Ill take enough of it and then just calculate the destiny of the human race https://x.com/bad_takes/status/1315108548104380416

somehow get the feeling that climate change was never the Great Filter level threat that it was made out to be seems like in many cost curves the clean alternatives are already cheaper or about to be cheaper than coal and oil without any sort of pigouvian scale tipping

nor does it seem like a halfway decent argument that a 100 million climate refugees from Bangladesh will end global civilization that level of instability is obviously not ideal but it's not apocalyptic either

plus i've always secretly harbored the belief that we could probably just increase the albedo of the oceans in a 100 years or so

@alamamoops worth it

@mahdiofalltime to be honest climate was probably undervalued by the public until very recently, maybe the past decade, and now it's likely overvalued. I think climate activists got very very good at "save the children" style messaging

@BarneyFlames generally speaking many countries have pursued subsidies for green tech and gas mileage recommendations and things like that but a serious $50/ton carbon tax exists pretty much nowhere on earth even the euros have a miniscule carbon tax that barely tips the scale

@conorduffy_7 have not, will put it on the list

@gbrl_dick yeah it’s def red meat for eco anarchist types, and I think the political aesthetic has become more and more populist over the last decade or so

I will say it’s possibly very easy and cheap to downplay the initial threat after decades of our top minds working on climate related technologies https://x.com/BarneyFlames/status/1315470363506208768

@gbrl_dick yeah degrowth ideologies are always rooted in anti humanism imo

@conorduffy_7 I tend to agree from what i've read the suffering caused by climate change will not be trivial I think, but not *unbounded* either nuclear war has a negative feedback loop in that nuclear powers are generally not insane and would probably tend towards cessation of hostilities

@conorduffy_7 AI and biotech are definitely the areas that seem to have *unbounded* downside risk cosmological events are far too rare just DLed the book

@matsigh seems legit

@antirobust def true but seeing the replies there's many types of people there lol i don't think many lib PMCs are quoting Revelations or talking about the mark of the beast and whatnot

@replicaofself i dont understand tho. like there will always be CASH money for those who prefer their privacy, but giving the company your palm print is not very much different than iphone's facial recognition

@RaccoonYeshua i guess i'm confused how is this different than iphone scanning your face or your thumbprint?

@RaccoonYeshua you are freely choosing to use the product in such a way that trades personal data for convenience -- and the revealed preference data show that people will 9 times out of 10 take convenience

@gigafelon @RaccoonYeshua @antirobust hell yea buddy let the zaibatsu lead us into the corporocratic dictatorship

@_vivalapanda right but not every headline needs to be that we've cured cancer or landed on mars

@alt_kia @replicaofself functionally, how many users actually know the difference between client side facial recognition and server side? i think the revealed preference of the consumers is a simple judgement, that they don't care

@dankyankees @RaccoonYeshua they very well could be if the FBI comes knocking with a warrant

@dankyankees @RaccoonYeshua the point is most people will accept that tail risk for the convenience

@tapwateriscool @replicaofself fair point

@RaccoonYeshua @MeFromBefore @alt_kia @replicaofself actually im gonna delete. i was probably being a little too flippant in the OP

the kind of OODA loop where you get results after a day is fine and good; you just have to think through your experiments carefully. the kind where you get results in an hour is even better. OODA loops where you get feedback after 10 minutes are completely intolerable

@jachaseyoung kind of sad that several thousand years later we have no better intoxicant than good ol beer

@jachaseyoung @VectorOfBasis the relentless Malthusian logic you replicate under the new resources availability frontier until the marginal human lives at his cost of labor or dies

@jachaseyoung @VectorOfBasis yeah, from what we know about modern forager societies it seems many of them practice pretty macabre displays of ritual infanticide

@jachaseyoung @VectorOfBasis I think the common argument is that HGs traded their freedom for the (relatively) lower risk living of agrarian societies. the farmers had a lot of things to worry about but not that a major hunt would go badly and the whole tribe would starve

@jachaseyoung @VectorOfBasis you can expect meager, but constant sustenance from the soil, and also beer production haha. risk management stretching all the way back to 10,000 BCE. not that any of this was conscious decision, but more like cultural evolution

@IFSciFi @jachaseyoung would not discount the anxiety of never knowing if or when the next meal will come though. a primal angst that very few have felt today (in relative terms)

@IFSciFi @jachaseyoung most people would probably trade uncertainty for meager stability

@IFSciFi @jachaseyoung also interesting that it’s only status/mate competition that seems to keep everyone working 40+ hours a week in the modern world. most could probably get by with less but choose not to. what did status competition look like in forager societies?
