Maybe you should watch the video to appreciate the full meaning of Zizek's idea.

Yes and no. Lifestyle has an impact on intelligence. You probably can't train yourself into a higher IQ, but you can many things that will dimish it (not sleeping well, bad nutrition, drugs, stress, etc.)

So if you've led a non ideal lifestyle in the past, you might be able to increase your intelligence by making less mistakes, relative to your current abilities.

But isn't that the core issue with "these" people: they have lost the ability to be able to interpret their body's sensations and warning signals and burn out as a result?

I'm not excempt from this. But the urge to substitute bodily awareness with sensory gadgets seems to gather religious proportions in some circles.

Considering that slowing down FPS doesn't alter the images, and audio can be resampled with practically no audible artefacts, I doubt that quality would ever be an issue. As long as it's done with the proper care of course.

I would think the main consideration is workflow these days.

He made great jokes exclusively in a format that is usually reserved for bad jokes. He was a genius.

Jesus Christ what have you pulled out into consciousness from the deepest wells of my mind!

I think it was a mistake to call both those conditions diabetes.

No, I just didn't know what it's called.

And no, I never learned print at school, only cursive. I started writing in print as a teenager because I thought it looked cooler, but it took me some time to get used to it.

I know this feature, but I'd much more prefer the workflow of having two calculators side by side.

In my view fine motor control is actually very important, as it seems to have a big effect on neuroplasticity and the prevention of Parkinson's.

I also want my kids to learn how to appreciate things that have no tangible purpose other than be beautiful.

I think it's a shame though that you were forced to use cursive when you hated it. Although where I grew up writing cursive used to be the norm. But it's not anymore apparently, as my son is learning non-cursive first.

Human memory doesn't work like that. Nothing gets pushed out when you learn something new.

It probably works the other way around even. The more you know (and understand), the easier it gets to remember (and understand) new things.

I thought La Mepris was plot and dialogue wise a silly movie, but watching it I could feel the hot mediterranean climate so bad that it made me disoriented. Pretty amazing.

If you see restaurants as a place to get food, then you're right. If you visit a place to have a remarkable experience, you might enjoy this kind of attention.

Not saying either perspective is wrong. Just that there's some nuance.

Austrian here. In my experience, good Bohemien food is hard to come by outside of where it's customary. Even in joints that don't seem to be money laundering.

I've had a similar experience with fellow classmates at a small osteria in Vienna we used to frequent when skipping English classes. But the food was actually decent and very cheap. But we never saw any other patrons.

No, I was just kidding.

I find programming where you get to know exactly what each instruction does is a very satisfying feeling. Makes me feel empowered, self-sufficient, excited, etc.

A bit like bootstrapping a village out of primitive resources in Minecraft.

Makes me consider getting some nice Croatian Kuna bills before the end of the year and hold on to them for 20 years.

Opening YouTube in incognito is a really depressing experience for me. Reminds me that I'm maybe not as in touch with the general population as I'd like to believe, which is a plus.

It also stokes my misanthropy, which is why I don't do it much.

Mine is the "Peripheral Vision Distorts Faces into Grotesque Masks" one.

I saw nothing change. So apparently you looked at it the wrong way!

Not complete failure. But things like unreliable detection or double-detection, yes.

But in my case those happenend a lot sooner than their projected lifespan.

Jesus Christ that's hilarious! I suddenly get an IT-Crowd vibe about a sitcom taking place in a photo lab.

The lockdowns were pretty damaging. But I'd be careful with blaming your personal failings on it. I suggest a good deep painful look into the mirror and a fitting therapist.

Nope. Some art is being made for the sake of making art. For me the process is pain relieving, even if no artefacts remain.

Art can be and often is social. But it is not fundamentally so.

Austrian here. We too have a single teacher from first to forth class, with the exception of religion and sometimes PE.

But I don't think that's the age to learn about map projections. My oldest child just finished first grade though, so I'll keep an eye open.

2% is plenty anyway. I mean, we have to start somewhere.

Everyone is different, but when I got my first 60 percent keyboard, I started using the SpaceFN layout through the TouchCursor tool on Windows and now I can't live without it anymore, even on full size keyboards.

It's a question I can't answer. But I guess like most things it's a mix of nature and nurture.

My son's favorite t-shirt right now has a print of Sonic the hedgehog, because that's what he's playing on my Dreamcast.

But other that he prefer's toned down and restricted color combinations. And I often get compliments for well our children are dressed, although it's purely my wife's work.

It's sad that peer pressure starts as early as three years old. My oldest son used to like wearing light pink and dresses at that age, but only at home. Never at kindergarten.

My youngest son, now 2, says he wants to be a girl. Turns out he's envious of his sister wearing dresses. He also paints his nails when my wife forgets to hide her nail color well enough.

We mostly let them decide themselves as long as it's fit for the weather, and they usually do well.

You mean they look intact. I'm pretty sure they don't look good.

Unfortunately many parents pass on really shrill and tasteless clothes made from cheap synthetic fabric. If you care about esthetics and teaching your children about style and materials, trading clothes becomes much more difficult.

Flea markets turned out to be a much better source for fantastic old clothes, but require more time and at least some money.

However, with three children who inherit their older siblings clothes, many pieces don't survive the third iteration of wear and tear.
