Or my favorite, Marsilio Ficino. There is a statue to Ficino when you walk into the library. Ficino was hired by Cosimo Medici (the Florentine who invented banking and funded much of the Florentine renaissance) to translate Plato and other esoteric books coming from the fall of Constantinople. He published “De Mysteriis” in 1497, which paraphrases neoplatonic understanding of Gods, Demons, Heroes and Soul — arguing that gods and demons don’t feel — indeed, not even the soul (“the lowest of the divines”) has any part that feels.
(Aside: This idea was actually referenced in “K Pop Demon Hunters,” where they debate whether demons can feel — or are “all feelings”)
It is an old Pythagorean tradition that sensation or consciousness arises out of the interaction of the immaterial soul and the material body. That “three world” idea is echoed by Nobel Laureate Roger Penrose in his book “Road to Reality.” He talks about how the material world produces the world of consciousness which produces the world of ideas (including mathematics), which seems to produce the material world…
In any case, there are many old ideas and nuggets of wisdom that have yet to be mined and discovered— don’t think for a moment that scholars have read all these books! We might need AI for that…
We're building something that even the smartest ai or the fastest quantum computer can't bypass and we need some BADASS hackers...to help us finish it and to pressure test it.

Can you explain this a bit more?
Once you start thinking about that, a lot of the mystery or 'inefficiency' of farming in the USA makes more sense. For example, the subsidies to grow corn and soy but not kale and squash or whatever was in the article- growing kale and squash isn't a strategic priority.
This is a self solving problem. It doesn't need a law. Nobody is going lightening fast on anything that resembles a bike except in the few situations where a) they can b) doing so is less sketchy than not (e.g. going faster than the bike "likes" is can be less sketchy than going too slow for traffic).
The fact that there is a huge pent up demand for "totally not a moped" type stuff really goes to show you the degree to which not laughing these people out of town has already perverted the personal transportation market.
Edit: The above are Philly speeds. Add 5-10mph for Miami or somewhere else wide, smooth and flat with great visibility. But the cars are going faster there too and the pedestrians are fewer and/or more removes so I don't think it actually matters.
It's not reasonable to say "every parent should learn about the dangers of different types of electric vehicle through the injury of a child in their peer group"
But now the state is updating its e-bike laws, adding that any e-bike with over 750W of power will be considered a “motor-driven cycle” and require a driver’s license. Over 3,500W? That will be considered a motorcycle and require a motorcycle endorsement to legally ride, as well as registration and insurance like a motorcycle. "
I love PEVs and this basically makes sense to me.
So, "Stop the genocide" and then what? Build a bigger fence? Wait for the next episode? Im generally interested if anyone has an opinion that goes beyond leave Gaza alone and considers Israelis dilema.
Would you agree that “an eye for an eye” type justice is undesirable? Because it seems like you are advocating for genocide as a response to the oct attack, going well beyond “eye for an eye”!
I am also convinced that investors believe it's the C Suite's responsibility to tear away any equity from employees to leave the largest pot for investors.
