Prince For President – by Robin Hanson – Beragampengetahuan
The series finale of the TV show Billions just dropped today. Its Metacritic score started at 69 in S1, peaked at 87 in S4, then ended at 62 in S7. I’ve enjoyed it especially as “competence porn” where I get to admire people who are very good at what they do. I also enjoyed the […]
A Fertility Reckoning – by Robin Hanson – Beragampengetahuan
Those who consume too much alcohol or other recreational drugs often make excuses. Like “I’m no worse than many others”, “I still manage to get to work most days”, or “Let’s wait til my problem gets worse, like I can no longer walk”, or “They’ll soon make a version without bad side effects”. Such folks […]
Origins of Woke – by Robin Hanson – Beragampengetahuan
Even his harshest critics seem to agree that Richard Hanania’s great new book The Origins of Woke, released today, offers the most plausible and detailed historical explanation yet of the rise of woke. (Such critics still insist without good reason that his book is racist and sexist.) His story: While Congress banned “discrimination” based on […]
Regulating Tech – by Robin Hanson – Beragampengetahuan
Not sure exactly why, but one of its authors sent me the book Data Science in Context: Foundations, Challenges, Opportunities. The chapter of most interest to me is ch. 7, on regulation, which highlights these recommendations: 4. Regulate uses not technology 5. Regulate clear, not potential, problems 6. Update laws with data science and technology […]
Visiting Death – by Robin Hanson – Beragampengetahuan
I haven’t posted as much lately as it is summer, and I’ve been doing a lot of family trips. Including an Alaskan cruise the last two weeks. Such periods are supposed to be happy times, worth their extra cost in part due to our anticipating and remembering them fondly. But while such trips are indeed […]
Kepemimpinan Status – Robin Hanson – Beragampengetahuan
Memiliki pasangan yang romantis bermanfaat dalam banyak hal. Anda tidak akan sendirian, Anda dapat meminta saran dari mereka, Anda dapat melakukan aktivitas bersama, Anda dapat berbagi transportasi dengan mereka, atau bahkan satu keluarga. Tetapi jika Anda melihat lebih dekat, Anda akan menemukan bahwa banyak orang memilih pasangan seperti itu bukan hanya karena komitmen mereka pada […]
Empat Kasus Biogenesis – Robin Hanson – Beragampengetahuan
Pembentukan bintang mencapai puncaknya sekitar 4Gyr setelah Big Bang, Bumi terbentuk sekitar 5,5Gyr setelah Big Bang, dan Bumi sekarang berusia 4,5Gyr. Teori yang biasa adalah bahwa kehidupan muncul dalam 0,4Gyr pertama Bumi, tetapi kemungkinan lain adalah bahwa kehidupan pertama kali muncul di planet Eden di sekitar bintang yang terbentuk di sekitar puncak 4Gyr. Sebuah batu […]
Jenis Kelamin dan Status – Robin Hanson – Beragampengetahuan
Louise Perry, penulis “The Case Against the Sexual Revolution,” untuk merespon milik Brian Kaplan Buku “Jangan jadi feminis”. Saya pikir Perry merangkum Kaplan dengan cukup baik di sini: Kaplan menawarkan alternatif elegan yang menurutnya benar-benar menggambarkan inti feminisme Barat abad ke-21: “persepsi bahwa masyarakat pada umumnya memperlakukan laki-laki lebih adil daripada perempuan.” Ini adalah definisi […]
Alasanku yang Canggung – Robin Hanson – Beragampengetahuan
Sejak 1940, lebih dari 100.000 penampakan UFO telah dilaporkan di seluruh dunia. Sekitar 5% atau lebih adalah peristiwa “kuat” yang tampaknya sulit dijelaskan karena banyaknya saksi, terutama saksi yang dapat dipercaya, bukti fisik, atau faktor lainnya. Banyak dari peristiwa ini juga “dramatis” di mana UFO muncul untuk menampilkan kemampuan yang menakjubkan jauh melebihi yang dimiliki […]
Toward Consecrated Capital – by Robin Hanson – Beragampengetahuan
Capitalism is the engine of our world; more than anything else, it is what has made us rich over the last few centuries. It is not just that we are free to trade stuff at market prices. It is also that we have teams who bet huge chunks of capital on risky ventures that attempt […]
