  • You’re kind of in pickle if it catches on though, no? Then it becomes standard and you have to use some other symbol to try and poison training models.

    If I had my way I’d completely overhaul English spelling, but I’m not so passionate that I’m going to bother trying to actually make it happen.


  • From a hand-writing perspective, I’m a big fan of syllabaries. But when you have to use a keyboard, an alphabet is pretty damn good. English could easily switch to quasi phonetic spelling by repurposing redundant consonants and adding accents to voewls.

  • Apparently Traumatic™ is different from traumatic with no emphasis. I am not a neurologist but it’s my understanding that you can sit people in fMRI (or other brain activity monitoring systems) along with other monitoring systems and watch the difference between a normal memory and a flash-back. Like the Traumatic™ will function differently in ways you can measure. I learned about it from The Body Keeps the Score but I haven’t read further than that. If you have resources that aren’t too technical let me know. Some of what was in that book was pretty soft science, but the Traumatic™ memory stuff was pretty hard as far as I could tell.



  • All you do is turn it into a flat check that everyone gets once a year. The rich would literally subsidize everyone else. Most people would make money from the tax.

    Also, you add in a cap and trade market and eventually reduce the limit to zero. Credits can’t be generated unless you literally bury non-volatile, non-decomposing carbon 500 meters or more under ground.
