Hey Adele, could you please summarize (or link to) the exercises that helped you? I'm having wrist problems as well and I've found that cycling through a wide range of exercises helps
Hey Raj, I don't know you and you may DM me to have a conversation after which I can provide feedback.
It looks like Singer subscribes to the maxim, "Give until you're unable to take care of yourself and your loved ones."
I like this framing better than the drowning child analogy since the trigger for the action pattern of giving is well-defined. Thanks for pointing this article out, Chris_Leong.
Props for writing up these out-of-the-box ideas. Hemispherectomies especially. I wonder how risky the procedure is.
Haha, I live in Lagos too. One day we'll have a proper meetup :)
Where in Nigeria?
Malnutrition is the visible surface symptom of "these are uncivilised, backwards people caught in a series of petty tribal wars".
I agree.
Could you tell me how you came about the list of African backward values? I currently live in an African country; I'd like the names of all the values I'd need to instil to avoid seeing preventable suffering around me.
(FYI I'd thought that having a public list of salaries and paying higher taxes, a la Norway, would be mostly sufficient to fix things)
Perhaps put these files up on the Internet Archive (http://archive.org/upload/) so they're preserved "forever"
Hey, turchin, do you mind explaining how you came about your final goals i.e. infinite evolution?
I'm looking for a way to test which final goal is more right. My current best guess for my final goal is, "avoiding pain and promoting play" and I've heard someone say, alternatively "beauty in the universe and eyes to see it." It would be neat if these different goals are reconcilable in some way.
