Therefore, it seems an analysis cannot be both correct and informative at the same time.
Paradox of analysisThe totality of truth is now reduced to a manageable compass
Willard van Orman Quine: Universal Librarybut there is no loss in content over all
Willard van Orman Quine: Universal Librarythat a font of two characters, dot and dash
Willard van Orman Quine: Universal LibraryThe entire and ultimate truth about everything is printed in full in that library
Willard van Orman Quine: Universal Librarybooks in alien alphabets, nor any beyond the reasonable length
Willard van Orman Quine: Universal LibraryDo you understand that every billionaire starts out wanting to save the world?
You have a Moral Obligation to get Rich and Powerful“There’s no point in doing good now. Once I am rich and powerful, I can start changing the world for the better.”
You have a Moral Obligation to get Rich and Powerfulevaluating the motivations
You have a Moral Obligation to get Rich and Powerfulevolutionary baggage
You have a Moral Obligation to get Rich and Powerfulit is the aligning of one’s ethics with the most intoxicating of human desires
You have a Moral Obligation to get Rich and PowerfulEffective altruism is the only moral philosophy I’ve come across that justifies the acrrual of vast amounts of money and power. I worry it does not treat this highly addictive substance with the caution that it deserves.
You have a Moral Obligation to get Rich and Powerfulemotionally disturbing
You have a Moral Obligation to get Rich and Powerfulan intentional ignorance
You have a Moral Obligation to get Rich and PowerfulListen dude, it might look like I’m getting high, but that’s not it at all! I’ve decided I want to become an addiction psychiatrist who helps as many people as possible! I was thinking that the optimal way to learn is to understand their experiences firsthand, so my current goal is to try as many drugs as possible. Got a needle?
You have a Moral Obligation to get Rich and PowerfulIt's a tremendous gulf.
Box Cutter subtitles | Breaking Bad Wiki | FandomFred brings home 100 kg of potatoes, which (being purely mathematical potatoes) consist of 99% water. He then leaves them outside overnight so that they consist of 98% water. What is their new weight? The surprising answer is 50 kg.[2]
Potato paradoxbut the smallest uninteresting number is itself interesting because it is the smallest uninteresting number
Interesting_number_paradoxthe proportional speed of the ant is inversely proportional to the length of the rubber rope, so the distance the ant can travel is unbounded like the harmonic series
Ant_on_a_rubber_ropeThe friendship paradox is the phenomenon first observed by the sociologist Scott L. Feld in 1991 that typically, an individual's friends have more friends than that individual.
Friendship paradoxA ball is a round object (usually spherical, but sometimes ovoid).[1][2][3] Balls can have several uses.
BallThere are plenty of good people, good ideas, good values, and good wisdom in the religious world, but to me that seems like something happening in spite of religion and not because of it.
Religion for the Nonreligious — Wait But WhyAfter a certain age, growing up is about overcoming your fog, and that’s about the person, not the age.
Religion for the Nonreligious — Wait But WhyThe way Step 4 can serve humanity is by helping to crush the notion of certainty.
Religion for the Nonreligious — Wait But WhyI don’t arrive there via any form of faith, just by logic.
Religion for the Nonreligious — Wait But Why“There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement”
Religion for the Nonreligious — Wait But WhyBut Step 3 is only possible because science has cleared the way there, which is why Carl Sagan said that “science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.”
Religion for the Nonreligious — Wait But WhyAnd the only possible emotion I could have for him on Step 3 is love.
Religion for the Nonreligious — Wait But WhyThinking about this level of reality is like looking at an amazing photo of the Grand Canyon
Religion for the Nonreligious — Wait But WhyYou might even think you’re a thing. Do you?
Religion for the Nonreligious — Wait But WhyLooking at context makes us aware how much we actually know about most situations
Religion for the Nonreligious — Wait But WhyThe fog is also much more harmful than the nutritionist because not only does it give us terrible advice—but the fog itself is the source of unhappiness.
Religion for the Nonreligious — Wait But WhyThe battle of the Higher Being against the animals—of trying to see through the fog to clarity—is the core internal human struggle.
Religion for the Nonreligious — Wait But Whyit’s that a human is the combination of the Higher Being and the low-level animals
Religion for the Nonreligious — Wait But WhyThere’s no reason to think the staircase doesn’t extend upwards forever.
Religion for the Nonreligious — Wait But WhyThe truth is a combination of what we know and what we don’t know
Religion for the Nonreligious — Wait But Whyif we want to meaningfully improve, we need to define a goal, understand how to get there, become aware of obstacles in the way, and have a strategy to get past them.
Religion for the Nonreligious — Wait But Whyare you improving as a human in a meaningful way?
Religion for the Nonreligious — Wait But WhyThere’s a purity to his occupation that’s compelling and, if I’m honest, a little terrifying.
Color Field underpassI wouldn’t know how to ask without breaking whatever fragile understanding exists between a passerby and a fixture.
Color Field underpassWhat he’s really done is he’s created this immense vertical filing cabinet in his brain of layers and layers and layers of files of information that he can draw back on now for more than 70 years worth of data.
