I think it's dependent upon the end goal that one intends to achieve and ones interest in given set of task. If the end goal against different set of task is different, context switching would be hard. People working in startups do context switching seamlessly comprising of different apparently unrelated task i.e. Development, Growth Hacking, QA, Marketing etc. The point is to find a higher purpose that engages one holistically. Procrastination won't happen then.

What we can perceive collectively tells us little about our collective consciousness. Humans are more than just meat.


Why do you think that we are more than 'thinking meat'? Seems like there is no evidence for that at all.

[Let’s say experiments are done, and there is finally a comprehensive, scientifically rigorous, and materialist account of what causes an NDE. What then? Does it mean that all the stories people tell of seeing angels and meeting their deceased relatives are just fairy tales to be ignored?]

Yes, but that's even unrelated to NDE's.


Even higher beings confirmed that we're just thinking meat. So I'm fine with that.

Irrelevent

Exactly

What is interesting is how NDEs share traits of the unconscious mind and its archetypes. Commonality that is shared by everyone from dreams, through to meditative states, vision quests and various states of psychosis. Even Jung started building his framework with insights from an NDE; the incorporation of eastern philosophy into our western analytical model allows for a very deep study of our psyche -- regardless of world-view -- and opens up horizons for the mind that were previously inaccessible due to a lack of sophistication in that area. NDEs are another intrigue that can be added to the list of phenomenon that allow us insight into our psyche.


'Thinking meat' is mere derogatory verbiage appropriate for an arena like HN but that's just jousting.


Self awareness differentiates us from "thinking meat".


Why is self-awareness an indication of something other than "thinking meat"? Why can't it be a more abstract form of thought?

Got it. Thanks.


The factors behind building a successful startup are more than an idea or lucrative salaries. Higher salaries doesn't make startups successful, rather building teams with perfect chemistry, culture, mutual trust and synchronization between members. For that, physical presence of team members under a single roof is very important. Hope that explains it all.


If we were able to create individual or community power grids; imagine how much infrastructure could just be removed. Maintained by the individuals owning it, instead of these stupid power companies and the way they work now.


Just tested with few snippets. Working perfect with tree viewing, minifying etc. The best thing is having all utilities at one place. Would use it for sure. An all-in-one cmd tool would be helpful also. If some one have already seen such, please share.


Its not about CS, Business or Mathamatics. Those who pursue what they are good at are not necessarily ones having supportive academic background. Just be yourself, and be the best at what you do. Also it takes time to find what you are good at. The best thing would be to talk to passionate people of their relevant fields. Then see what excites you most.


It ain't like feeling sad or cheering up, rather more spending time with one own-self makes it happen.


With great power comes great responsibility. With the help of technology, despite our plans of paving ways to make this world a better place to live. The future still tends to be scary for many.
