Absolutely. Most common similar I've seen is buy-a-brick campaigns but I like the idea of doing things a little differently
Thanks, just what I sought and quite timely. I appreciate that.
I'm good for the $1k. I'll put a check in the mail (swipe fees are the devil) and keep an eye out for future opportunities
If I were near a computer any time soon I probably would have mindlessly e-mailed but on reflection posting is probably better in this culture anyway. I have a few questions and notes. For what it's worth, some of these points would have me walk right on from an organization I'm moderately positive toward. LW exceeds that level for me
I've been a casual LW fan off and on for a while, probably over a decade (friend introduced me to The Sequences either shortly after or shortly before completion) and this is the first time I've heard of Lightcone. A link to your main page might have been useful
I look forward to hearing them
Are you saying depression is like pessimism, in the above quote? If so, are you saying they are not in fact different, or are you making a claim I'm missing about the difference?
Also sorry for the premature send if that is externally perceptible
How is ""Depression is just contentment with a bad attitude" false exactly?
I'm not trying to claim its true or sport defend flat earth style. I truly believe it's different.
But back in Covid and even early aftermath I remember so often thinking "There's no reason to go out because we're all so happy at home that out likely wont be any better" which I eventually noticed is awfully similar to "There's no reason to go out because I'm so unhappy out that out likely won't be any better." Seemed like a possible window into others' lived experience.
Not really a rationality question but this is the highest concentration I know of people who have known people with depression, and also people who can answer potentially emotionally charged questions rationally.
Heh, we get so caught up in one path we forget others sometimes don't we? That's a great idea. Thanks!
Seems there should be but I'm not finding it. Craigslist and Upwork don't seem to, but I was (am actually; any takers?) looking for someone with expertise in geography and global mythology and it seems pretty clear to me the value to me is probably higher than they'd charge with those specialties, so I assume it's just my very weak googling skills getting in the way.
Thanks in advance, and if it doesn't exist and you want to build it I expressly release any claim to a cut of the profits,
Charlie
It seems to not be sending me the reset e-mail. I requested twice last night, separated by five minutes. I'll PM Hab, just in case the system forgot my e-mail address, but still a problem if so that there is no message to that effect.
ETA: Multiple messages sent with no reply. Shall I assume this project is no longer going forward?
Metaphor makes sense; I'dn't thought of that. Thanks!
Thanks! That accords with what people have said and with reason better than the former reigning champion.
Sorry for delay; was at a wedding. When I start typing comments on my phone the submit button disappears, so I can only comment from my computer, and I'm trying to avoid thumbs until they fix the asymmetry.
Not much to add content wise but just to be one data point: I strongly agree and have talked about it with exactly one person. I have no plans to advance the position openly and proactively, largely for reasons stated, but would quietly and strongly support efforts to that end should I become aware of them.
As I've put it to my friend: the worst day for a transcendent AI to emerge is the week after I would die and the best day is the week before. We then argue over where "tomorrow" fits on that spectrum
