I believe we become much more effective operators in the world when we perceive our whole nervous system as the seat of our intelligence, rather than just our brains. We also become less trapped in our heads.
How to Stop Overthinking - Vacha's Garden of LightThere can be a tendency to think that all our intelligence is contained in our heads. This can cause people to retreat into their heads when they want to solve a problem
How to Stop Overthinking - Vacha's Garden of LightIn economics, the lump of labour fallacy is the misconception that there is a finite amount of work—a lump of labour—to be done within an economy

How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big - by Scott Adams | Derek Sivers“Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial-arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. if my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad."

[FKPXLS] SPECIAL VOLUME: JOINING PACE - by Tina HeNothing is more American than inventing weird cringe fusions of religion and atheism where you say that God doesn’t exist as (gestures upward) some Big Man In The Sky the way those people believe, but also, there totally is a God, in some complicated sense which only I understand.
The Dilbert Afterlife - by Scott AlexanderBut if someone were to try to be Dilbert today – to say, earnestly, “I hate my job because I am smarter than my boss and could do it better than him,” that would be the obvious next question, the same way “I am better at picking stocks than Wall Street” ought to be followed up with “Then why don’t you invest?”

Opinion | Open-model AI is good competition for Anthropic and OpenAI - The Washington PostRed Hat built a business on freely available software and in 2019 sold to IBM for $34 billion. Confluent, MongoDB, HashiCorp, Databricks — all are large, successful companies built on code anyone can download. Google gave away Android and Kubernetes; Microsoft, which once called open source a cancer, now owns the open-source platform GitHub. None of them were confused about how to make money.

A Stargate for Data - by willdepue - Will DePueIt’s incredible how much progress in AI owes everything to the blessing of the internet, a one-time civilizational subsidy to deep learning, decades of unintentional accumulation of a perfect dataset: every book, blog post, image, video, paper, discussion, etc. all digitized and freely available. Without the internet, we’d likely see comparably minimal progress in AI today
