  1. IQ is closer to measuring health status rather than intelligence. Whenever I hear someone brag about IQ, I hear someone brag about good health.

  2. I do neither of these weakling knots for my shoes.

  4. Loneliness drives you crazy - silence is a mediator to such an end.

  6. What about durability against friction?

  7. “Why is it pulsing?” I'd guess it's because it's initially too viscous in contact with a cooling medium, and then builds heat quickly and expand when enclosed, and to rapidly cool down and become viscous again. I'd guess it simply doesn't release heat quickly enough to the rate of change in viscosity.

  8. Carl Friedrich Gauss - was he the first 3D programmer? He rendered triangles out of the earth… just very slowly.

  9. We humans cooperate only as long as our capability to develop is not fulfilled. When human intelligence pushes towards its limit then it benefits nobody to cooperate any more and pride causes everyone to seek for dominion. The Tower of Babylon is an example of this — its people cooperated to develop greatness where possible, for it benefitted everybody. But nearing completion, everything became a matter of dominion. Humans want to be their own God, and that position will sooner or later be challenged by other humans or by God himself. We humans tend to cooperate out of selfishness, not out of kindness or good will. If people wish to cooperate out of good will, then I am convinced to say that we must be humble to God and listen to instruction from him as the almighty.

  10. My question would be: "Does it matter?"

  11. There is no such thing as luck - it's culture. An illiterate culture results in poverty, a litterate culture results in riches. Everything culture related results in favourable or unfavourable behaviour. The difficulty is understanding which culture that works. But because cultures are so favourable or unfavourable, the matter of which culture is best is highly opinionated and becomes a matter of philosophy. We could test the cultures to see which works and which don't but ususally, people do not agree to this... Why do people not agree to this? They don't because that would question their identity - and there is nothing humans fear more than loosing their identity - it's the leading cause of existential crisises and fear of death.
