yes, as far as you know from your 1-sample subjective experience of being a human being, that other beings with nervous systems don't suffer.

What do you use for the smartTV (distro)? And do the big streaming players work happily?

The hubris of this is phenomenal. People have ancestral homes in places that have become carcinogenic because of industrial activity they didn't ask for, the best job opportunities are often in places that you must go to in order for your family to have the best opportunities possible.

The amount of privilege in asking this question is just shocking. As if people can so easily choose where they live. Try telling miners and nomadic construction workers that.

holographic storage, if we can harness the zero point field the way Karl Pribram postulated cognitive memory works (i.e. using the Void for storage) may actually get us to 0 "physical" B ;)

absolutely ridiculous that the class-based "developed world" label is still around, as if most parts of Asia aren't at the same developmental and infrastructural level as America. India is up there :)

Their philosophies are quite different; Obsidian is much more text and link oriented (it's basically a front-end for markdown), whereas Notion is object-oriented and gives primacy to the kinds of objects that can contain text (blocks, tables, quotes, etc.)

Obsidian can be made to work like Notion and vice-versa, but I see Obsidian as more of a hypertext environment/wiki creator, and Notion as an integrated environment to interface with different ways of interacting with knowledge-focused objects.

I prefer Obsidian largely due to its simplicity, and the fact that it maps really well to how I think. Notion is also incredible for what it does, but it's too much for my brain, and the app is still a bit too slow for the speed with which my thoughts can escape me.

Anytype purports to be like Notion.

lmao the extent to which the tech crowd will defend all of his stupidity and let him get away with a slap on his wrist. He had a megalomaniac ego moment and called some of the greatest heroes to have ever existed pedophiles for being the only people capable of pulling of a rescue like that. One of them died in the rescue efforts. Musk is all the way up his own ass, and this needs to be acknowledged regardless of his supposed "genius".

Groups absolutely have an emergent consciousness, whether it is based on consensus or tyranny. Even a "human self" is ultimately a symbolic, higher-order complex formed from separate, often competing cognitions. In a very similar way, a group forms a mind and thinks, even if only one person is calling the shots: your conscious awareness will likely tend towards the cognitions created by your core beliefs, but that doesn't mean the others aren't there. They're just less conscious.

rip, I see how this reads as an ad but it was a genuine declaration. :<

The future is Notion.so

My entire information management pipeline has been overhauled: I know Notion can be a little culty, but it genuinely has improved my performance so drastically I think it is the best thing to happen to me since the internet itself.

I respect the smoothness and honesty of your plug.

People with trauma and mood disorders are by definition in constant contact with what is bogging them down.

This is so freaking amazing, and I think the ultimate publication goal of my "daily insights" Notion page. Thank you so much for this, will be a treat to absorb.
