Mohemedem thinks every radical Bantu collection of sermons is theology? Tanzanian Metaphysics and no other person in the Muslim world is talking about this unique system of thought? In this podcast age? Ok man. What am I supposed to be impressed by, that you put the word Metaphysics has been used? Your religion days music is haram and that's the limit of what your scholars can think about. Sembuse AI,? And that is why I mentioned Iran because everyone knows what their clerics are doing for Shia theology

Leftwt's understanding of jargon is like Idealist = being naive Dialectical = having nuance Materialist = agreeing with me Moralist = having emotions

Instead of using air conditioning you should build yourself a nice villa in the countryside like 16th century Venetian aristocracy, for a refreshing summer escape. This is Villa Barbaro built in 1560 by Barbaro brothers to escape the heat and humidity of Venice in the summer.

This guy signed a pledge he’d only stay for 3 terms. He’s been there for 7

A mathematician at Bell Labs noticed that the scientists who won Nobel Prizes and the ones who never amounted to anything were equally smart, equally hardworking, and equally credentialed, and the only thing that separated them was a single question almost nobody is brave enough to ask themselves before they die. His name was Richard Hamming. He spent 30 years at Bell Labs, in the same building as John Tukey, Walter Brattain, and a long list of physicists who took home Nobel prizes for work they did down the hall from his office, including the legendary Claude Shannon. His invention of error-correcting codes made modern computing possible. He has won the Turing Award. And all the while he was creating his own legacy he was secretly doing a study on the people around him. The study was straightforward. 2 Teams. The legends and the lost. Same I.Q.s. Degrees same. Same desk hours. Same access to the world’s best resources. And yet, at the end of 40 years in their careers, one group had changed entire fields, and the other group could not be remembered by their own colleagues five years after retirement. He wanted to discover what the actual difference was. In March 1986, he stood before 200 researchers in a Bellcore auditorium and told them what he had seen. He said it all came down to one question. And hardly anyone he ever met was willing to ask it directly. He called it the Friday-afternoon ritual. He spent years blocking out his Friday afternoons and not doing anything productive with them every week. No experiments. No meetings. No deliverables. He called it Great Thoughts Time. He sat down with a notebook and asked himself a couple of questions in order. What are the most relevant problems in my discipline? And why I am not working on either of them.” Most weeks, the answer was the same, he said. For a week now he had marched confidently in a direction he did not think was the most important direction. He was a goer. He worked a bit. He was getting clean results that would publish in respected journals. ( And for five days straight he'd been lying to himself about whether any of it mattered. The reason almost nobody does this ritual is because the honest answer is unbearable. The thing is that if you sit down on a Friday afternoon and say out loud that you are not working on the most important problem in your field, now you have to do something about it. You have an immediate change in direction, or you have to keep lying to yourself every week from that point on. Most people choose the lie. In the short term it’s cheaper, but over a career it’s more expensive. Hamming took the ritual a step further in the Bell Labs cafeteria. He began approaching scientists he barely knew, asking them what they thought the most important problems in their field were. A week later he would ask them why they had not worked on these problems. Eventually people wouldn't have lunch with him. “I had to keep finding new tables,” he said. Nobody had a good answer for that, and being around someone who kept asking it made every meal feel like a performance review. The line that broke me is the line that most people skim over in the transcript. His words: If you do not work on an important problem you are unlikely to do important work. That’s not motivational line. It is a rational one. You cannot make a great result from a problem that does not matter. Input restricts the output. The choice of the problem is the ceiling of the career. The transcript has been freely available on the internet for almost 40 years. Stripe Press published the complete lectures as a book. Naval Ravikant quotes it all the time. It’s still given out to new hires at every serious engineering lab in Silicon Valley. Most people will not run the ritual this Friday. They will be busy. They always are.

I bet this goes hard as fuck if you’re retarded.

once saw a guy reject the entire field of philosophy as "pseudoreligious intellectual masturbation for the pretentious" and then i checked his profile and he was a devout Buddhist

okay this may be true but. there is a 3000-year-old elephant in the room when we're discussing why rome's metro is shit

Christopher Hitchens identifies the creation of identity politics as the moment the left lost. I wonder if he imagined the damage it would still be causing nearly sixty years later.

the fact shai is so prominent for foul baiting that defenders literally don't raise their arms or contest the shot in any way to avoid the whistle... and it STILL COMES

It always blows my mind that the German architect Walter Gropius who co-designed the (then) PanAm Building in New York was born in 1883. He was 20 when the Wright brothers did their first flight, 25 when Model T was first produced... And somehow drew this.

I've never voted before in my life, never commented on politics, just a normal working bloke and I stand with Robert Kenyon

Libertarianism is just 120 IQ people with a strong moral compass projecting their psychology onto everyone else.

Lately, I’ve noticed dozens of coucals calling from the wetlands (the bird we call “gĩthimambũri”). Some call it rainbird.

okay so what i’m reading is someone moved out and took their silverware with them?

The white-pilling thing about all this Machakos Einstein thing is that people will happily gobble up whatever slop you present to them with minimal questions. Stop over thinking things anon and just ship whatever half-arsed shit your building.
