• 20:22, 4 November 2024 Roshan talk contribs created page Multigenerational Optimization (Created page with "Multigenerational Optimization is the idea of aiming for success in your family ''across'' generations. It is in contrast to the idea of being the solo protagonist, a view that is commonly espoused today: {{Quote box | quote = I can relate. 41F, PhD, academic, breadwinner.

• 19:44, 4 November 2024 Roshan talk contribs created page Blog/2024-11-04/Victory in Death (Created page with "I'm a near-religious believer in Multicellular Mankind. Looking back at my childhood, I think this was (and is) more innate or early axiomatic than it is a reasoned position. Like many children I once believed that ghosts or other such beings inhabited the dark. And I've definitely hit the lights and jumped into bed to dodge them (the bed being safe, especially under the covers, of course). The part that relates to this, though, is that at some point I'd decided tha...")

Here's the exact text I've gotten from the spammer.

• 00:45, 4 November 2024 Roshan talk contribs created page TP-Link Kasa Smart Switches (Created page with "I have the TP-Link Kasa HS103 Smart Switches and they're inexpensive ways of making many things turn on when one button is pressed or when you want to verbally have things come on in the home. We've got a rental, so modifications aren't too easy so we use this stuff to make it more convenient. == Unable to Connect to Device WiFi == When I first set up the device, I couldn't get my iPhone to connect to the WiFi network the smart switch starts after being turned on.

We had an old Jamboard from the Twitter liquidation. You can get them for about $300 a pop these days because Google has EOL'd them and they're kind of useless. They do work as TVs but the default stand is awful for this since it takes a lot of space, and the software on the thing isn't very good for this. == Stand == We bought [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZ7X2W4B?...")

Some of these techniques are quite interesting. I usually block people when I encounter them, but sometimes I fall for them and try to reply before I realize what they're doing. == Specialization of General Categories == This is where someone takes a line that has a universal category reference and then specializes it to an e...")

Each acts locally with little or no conception of the whole. The whole itself is a being, viewed at various levels of organization: family, nation, religion, or ethnicity. {{Tweet | username = arjie | name = Roshan George | date = Oct 16, 2024 | text = Sure, in the same sense that eating sweet stuff feels good.

• 19:08, 23 October 2024 Roshan talk contribs created page Outrage is the Universal Parasite (Created page with "There are some people in the world who you must conclude are smart: e.g. Elon Musk, who is the greatest industrialist of our generation; or Bill Ackman, who is a billionaire hedge fund manager. But no matter how smart someone is, one thing always makes them stupid. Here's an example of a Bill Ackman tweet that exhibits the kind of gullibility most held by a first time tourist to NYC. The cab drivers there are notorious scamsters, and while it might benefit one to exagge...")

• 15:29, 23 October 2024 Roshan talk contribs created page Gradients Dominate Points (Created page with "Very few things allow precise aim, and almost all of those things are engineering problems. Things that are coordination-dominated are sloppy and imprecise and consequently, you can only apply thrust towards a target or away from the target, with little control over the minimum thrust. You'll see this in many places: * Companies are either growing or shrinking - they don't stay constant * Nations are either improving or failing - the latter especially so for those who...")
• 22:49, 22 October 2024 Roshan talk contribs created page Hypocrisy is the Worst Crime (Created page with "A frequent thing you'll hear from people is that they respect someone that does what they say, even if it's not what they want done. The person who says one thing and does another is beloved to few, unless they're explicitly in on the con. Often this means that people are purists about subjects and will subscribe to the strongest interpretation of The Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics. Now, wikipedia:Homo economicus|a ra...")
