What are the taboo subjects?
  • I heard that a similar breeding program happened in some African cultures back in the day. Like you could only breed if you were an alpha hunter or somesuch.

    So that's how you get a race of 7' tall dudes

  • What are the taboo subjects?

    The subjects that you can't even bring up without getting downvoted, banned, fired, expelled, cancelled etc.

    Data and Lor, the meaning
  • As Charles Fort said, systems of thought are invariably mutually antagonistic.

    Everybody thinks that their system of thinking is the one and only true system, and all other systems are wrong and bad. (Which simplifies thinking I suppose.) Except luminaries like Charles, of course.

    The writers clearly think that Data represents the good system and Lore one of those other systems.

  • Data and Lor, the meaning

    Data. Lor.

    Lore.

    Data and Lore are 2 different kinds of information.

    That just occurred to me.

    What's science fiction without the machines?

    I mean, we could speculate and explore the strange future and stuff. Just without that tired trope of "well, science and technology progressed a bunch and then we got this really great machine".

    I mean there's gotta be another way. Examples?

    looking for meaning

    If it doesn't feel right then it's hard (impossible) to give a shit. I hear that a lot here.

    Money, grades, the advice of revered authority. None of it works. I just blow it off. And suffer of course. But I'm still poking along.

    But a couple of things have felt right. And those things go very well. I can draw, I can write software. I can successfully give my attention to a project like that.

    One such thing is meditation. Whatever's going on with ADHD, meditation messes with it. I found the button in the center of my head that makes ADHD happen. It feel 100% right. It's like I found a magic thing.

    So if you are an ADHD guy then maybe it would feel right for you too.
