Take a look at https://www.notion.so


notion is a proprietary format, unfortunately. I also want to keep things in local storage for security reasons


I think the parent is referring to the Flynn Effect.

Every time I read that paragraph I'm reminded of the book Atas Shrugged. Where Ayn Rand lays out her philosophy of objectivism.


The game's plot is directly referencing Rand, there's also a pivotal character called Atlas.


I'm late to the party, but I think I have one that hasn't been mentioned. I don't think it's possible on IOS but I like having the ability to edoy my hosts file. I download a popular block list and port it over to my phone, plop it into to the /etc/ folder.


I'm super curious as the rest. Wild guess, are you talking about Brain of the firm?



That's only $120 new from the publisher.



So I'm a bit late to the party, but I do habe some recomendations.

The podcast that recently has been important to me is: Conversations with Tyler. Some people may have issues with hjs background, being a libertarian. But he has the best interview style I have ever heard. He asks the most thoughtful questions on so many different topics. I always come away learning something new.

One that hasn't been mentioned in this thread is The Moth. It's very liberal, but helps with keeping me compassionate. The way people tell their stories often makes me emotional.

Hello internet is fun, for some reason. Somebody else said. It's like hanging out with friends. With all of the in jokes, it might take a whike to get into.

Radiolab's More Perfect. The first teo seasons are fantastic. It's all about the US supreme court. I don't live in the US but it still grips me.

The Ezra Klein show. Some times hit or miss. But still worth for some of his guests with which Ezra manages to gell with.

The numberphile podcast. A more slow interviewing style, mostly about the personalities behind the world of mathematics.


What about the issue that Brave is based on Chromium. And thus any privacy features are nullified because it essentially reports back to Google?

Is there any merrit to this argument?


All the Google reporting is stripped out. The Brave engineering team (I'm on the business team) is very serious about making sure that's all gone. Brave is open source so everyone can check their work.


But can you be sure there is not something hidden?


Sounds very similair to Dali's process. Where he would meditate holding a kitchen utensil on top of a pan. And when he would fall asleep it would fall making a sound and wake him up with i inspration for his next painting.

and Michel Houellebecq seems to use similar process:

INTERVIEWER

What is your writing schedule now?

HOUELLEBECQ

I wake up during the night around one a.m. I write half-awake in a semi-conscious state. Progressively, as I drink coffee, I become more conscious. And I write until I’m sick of it.


This explains a lot about Houellebecq's writing.


It sound interesting, but I never have heard it before and I can't find it in the link or in Google. Is it in the book? Is there other source? (Creativity advisors are sometime too creative.)


This is also mentioned in the Coursera course "Learning How to Learn" (https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn). Though I don't recall/know what their source is. "Dali Sleep Technique" turns up many hits in your favorite web browser, however.


it is in "50 Secrets of Magic Craftsmanship" a bit after the "Three rules for controlling your dreams".

Edit: Search for the sentence "In this posture, you must hold a heavy key which you will keep suspended, delicately pressed between the extremities of the thumb and forefinger of your left hand." and look at the google book result, you can read the page 36.


John Cleese mentions this process as being done as well by Thomas Edison in his Talk at Google: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-p44-9S4O0&t=9m39s


If you're reclined (on your back) a bamboo chop stick (or light metal tube that's a bit bigger held with the tip a couple of inches above your forehead works. Make sure your thumb (and no fingers) are below the stick so it will fall.


I had heard Edison did this.
