This is just like being alive in the 1600s when they got good at making complicated clocks and deduced that every complicated thing in the universe probably functioned exactly like a clock

If voting don’t matter you gotta explain to me why they fighting like hell for Black people to not be able to do so.

If there were many more cars than riders reporting, you would expect a new car to be discovered almost every trip (like your uber example). But based on the mileage, the 89 riders have an avg of 10 rides each. Which means of the 19 cars discovered, they have each been reported an average of ~46 times. Very unlikely we are missing many (if any) cars.

Clearly from the polls/discussion there is not a reality where 8 billion people pick red. But as a red-instinct person, that is actually little surprising. There are plenty of things that ~all 8 billion people don't do, simply because we are not that dumb. ~All 8 billion people don't jump in front of a train. All 8 billion people don't walk naked into the sahara desert at noon. All 8 billion people don't eat raw roadkill. My first instinct upon reading the question is that not pressing blue is equally as obvious as the examples above, so actually no one is going to do it. Again, it is clear that is wrong, but you can perhaps understand why this is exasperating to red voters

if red is the sane default, blue pushers recklessly endanger themselves over nothing if blue is the sane default, red pushers defect for personal gain hate to break it to you but there's no sane default here. it's all in your head

Everyone on earth takes a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press? BE HONEST.

This is incredible: Elon Musk will receive 200 million super-voting shares in SpaceX ONLY IF the company establishes a permanent Mars colony with at least 1 million people. In other words, Elon Musk will only receive this pay package if 1 million people live on Mars. In other words, Elon Musk's biggest goal is now establishing a colony on Mars with a similar population as Dallas, Texas. Musk is so optimistic about this goal that the vast majority of his pay is now contingent on it. Life on Mars is closer than many expect.

BREAKING: SpaceX's board has approved a new compensation package for Elon Musk ahead of its record-setting IPO. The package includes: 1. 200 million super-voting shares if SpaceX hits a $7.5 trillion valuation and establishes a permanent Mars colony with at least 1 million people 2. Additional 60.4 million shares if SpaceX reaches certain valuation goals and operates data centers in space delivering 100 terawatts of compute 3. Elon Musk will not receive a single share if the company fails to reach the board's valuation targets Elon Musk has received a salary from SpaceX of $54,080 per year since 2019.

Despite working 10-12 hours a day… Leila Hormozi: - Works out daily - Logged her food every day for 11 years straight - Is in better shape than 99% of women - Makes her man dinner every night Ladies, What’s stopping you from doing all this? Note: “Too busy” is NOT an excuse

You check your Apple Watch in the morning. Sleep score: 62. You decide it's going to be a foggy day. And then it is. A 2014 Colorado College study suggests the score itself causes the fog. 164 people walked into a lab. Researchers hooked them up to fake EEG equipment and told them the readout would show their REM percentage from the night before. Then they fabricated a number. Half the room was told 28.7%. Half was told 16.2%. The machine wasn't measuring anything. Participants took four cognitive tests. The Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test, where you add numbers spoken at increasing speed and hold your last sum in working memory while computing the next. And the Controlled Oral Word Association Task, where you generate as many words as you can starting with a single letter under time pressure. Both are gold-standard measures of attention and executive function used in clinical neurology. The 28.7% group outperformed the 16.2% group on both. Significantly. How rested participants actually felt that morning predicted nothing. The mechanism is mindset priming an executive resource. When you believe you slept well, you allocate cognitive effort more aggressively. You don't conserve. You don't pre-disengage. Belief about the resource changes how you spend it. Two control conditions ruled out demand characteristics. Participants weren't trying harder because they thought they should. Real measurable cognitive performance shifted with the number on the readout. The Apple Watch sleep score. The Oura ring readiness number. The morning ritual of checking either one is taxing the resource you're about to need. The performance gap from a fabricated REM percentage was larger than the gap from how rested participants actually felt. The number was louder than the night.
