"The reason mushrooms make us trip is because there’s already a network there that they “talk” to (the 5ht_2a receptor system)"

But how does binding to the 5-HT[2A] receptor lead to, say, communing with one's dead mother, or to forgiveness of oneself or one's abusive father, or to a creative breakthrough on a problem you've been struggling with for months or years, or to an encounter with one's god, or to the realization that you/we are god, or to curing/treating depression or addiction, etc?

These are open questions that science doesn't have very satisfying answers to yet.
Recently I met a guy who confessed to cheating his way through college by paying bribes to inferno graduate students. It was only five years ago, but he said that the university charged such outrageous tuition for these international students, that mini were so desperate for money that they saw no qualms about stealing exams, taking exams, and writing his papers. It made me ponder for a bit if the current university system created their own mess.

This was a refreshing write-up. I admit I went in being ready to cringe at some bad metaphors, but the author pulled it off.

Overall, the whole piece gave me quite systems thinking vibes. For example, this part (well, and also the other 2 of the "three high-level features" the author lays out) towards the end:

> But in a more “Elvish” paradigm, however, the moment the house is built is not the end. How will this building grow? What other purposes will it satisfy in the future? When and how will it be deconstructed? What would happen with the earth on which it is built? All these “Elvish” questions[20] (and many more) can help develop a deeper understanding of both the problem and the solution spaces, and reframe (re-timeframe) both. The moment when the house is needed is not the end, but it is also not the beginning. How did the need for the house emerge? Where did the materials for it come from?

Edit:

actually, on second read this hits so close it's almost spooky:

> the relationship between action and understanding is more symmetrical: we act so that we can learn, as much as we learn so that we can act

I've lost the count how many times I've had the discussion in my organization lately about "starting the implementation already so that we can learn more, as currently we know less about the problem than we will ever know".

Granted, to maximize learning there must be some, usually non-trivial amount of effort at understanding and learning before the initial direction is sufficiently correct for the "act" part to provide actual learning and insight. But in my experience that's most of the time much easier to achieve than one would initially think. The amount of effort also tends to scale rather well with experience, so more experienced engineers are able to start acting into the broadly right direction with much smaller initial effort (which, in essence, is probably the definition of "experience").
It's hard to avoid the segfaults. I've tried to use it many times for simple projects. Some workflows it's every 10min or so, and often you get into corrupted states where you can tell it's about to happen, but of course if you save you risk your files completely.

It's also slow, onshape in my browser beats it at roughly everything.
It’s a good point but I think there isn’t a better answer. Teams that fail miserably doing scrum would fail in any process. Software development is fantastically difficult. Doing it well is reserved for a small minority of teams and no process will save the others. What scrum offers is the early exposure of failure.
This should not be legal. It’s not okay to conjure up some arbitrary scheme, consisting of five different cryptocurrencies, and sell the instrument as though it will always track the price of some stock. It’s not okay to say “well, we thought it would work” when the system crashes. This should be considered as negligence (in properly ensuring that your system will work as advertised before selling to consumers) by the courts.

> The first kind of magic, which we shall call “Human”, is driven by the desire to extend one's power over the world, while simultaneously minimizing one's dependence on the world ... The second kind of magic, which we shall call “Elvish”, is driven by the desire to extend one's understanding of the world, while simultaneously minimizing one's intentional interference with the ways of the world.

Both of these ideas seem based on the assumption that consciousness is separate from the material conditions which give rise to it. The classical philosophy of the stoics, that humans are the means by which the universe observes and understands itself, seems to resolve the dilemma.

If we subscribe to the philosophy that humans are both part of the natural world and are interested in understanding the natural world, this might lead us to conclude it is in our interest to pursue capital intensive advanced research projects such as building orbital telescopes or high energy super colliders to probe the deeper mysteries of the universe.

If that is the case, then it is self-evident that we also need to possess a large mastery over the environment in order to understand the environment, to pursue progress towards such ends in a sustainable and resilient manner. Household, industrial capital, shared infrastructure, and common environmental stocks have a physical cost of maintaining and replacing. A low surplus society which is incapable of generating a net product or economic surplus above the cost of maintaining itself or keeping its population from starving is not going to be able to sustainably fund such advanced projects.

So understanding the environment requires interacting with the environment and shaping it in a manner which maximizes our ability for future understanding.

I agree, but in the end it is a competition, and the solution that scores the most is not always the solution that is "the most interesting" (or practical, or best in real world cases)

Though the details you mention are interesting, and can definitely apply at real-life solutions.

It’s nowhere near complete but one place to start is psychedelic (a) increase communication across/between disparate brain regions, (b) synchronize the various waves of brain activity into a single vibration, and (c) reduces the threshold at which pattern matching / classifier networks will fire (thus the increased visual acuity at small doses and pareidolia and other visual effects at high doses)

I remember a study that explained (b), can’t remember anything else about it though :/

EDIT: https://ai.googleblog.com/2015/06/inceptionism-going-deeper-... is also great to think about. DeepDream produces very psychedelic images and the bit about reversing the network and having it recurse on pattern matching its on output to “massage” the raw input into alignment with a schema (akin to feeding output back into input) is very relevant
thank you for posting this.
This is why old buildings in the Middle East and North Africa have thick stone walls. In these arid regions there is a large temperature difference between day and night, so the thermal inertia of the building can be used to store the 'cold'. Structures such as windcatchers help to naturally ventilate the building at night.

Yes, obviously if you have received notice your account is closed, and you continue writing checks, you're on the hook for writing bad checks.

> Now that the UK is independent, it no longer has the paralysis/compromise/status quo dilemma.

...so they can now pass all the strong surveillance laws they want without being hindered by the EU?

My point: "paralysis" can be good if it prevents you from doing something bad. Perhaps forcing a "compromise" actually leads to (better) solutions that account for everyone's concerns?

Overall, it is not clear to me that the UK becoming independent from EU is going to necessarily lead to better laws. Are they going to be easier and faster to pass? Sure. Are they going to be better? Not so sure.

Completely agree that it's not for everyone, and that those that do try it should thoroughly (and I mean really thoroughly) educate themselves on what they're getting themselves in to and how to maximize their chances of having a good experience. For this I'd recommend "The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide"[1] by James Fadiman as a good start. Erowid[2] and PsychonautWiki[3] are good for experience reports and reference.

People with pre-existing health and psychiatric conditions, and young people should be doubly careful. The physical and sometimes psychological effects of some substances can be dangerous, especially when mixed with other drugs (alcohol is a particularly bad one to mix with).

Psilocybin mushrooms are some of the safest psychedelics around, but at the very least be absolutely sure you got the right kind (have them identified by experts or grow your own)... and starting with lower doses, in a good set and setting, with someone more experienced than you who you like and trust is prudent. Have some quiet days to integrate the experience afterwards, maybe with a therapist.

Its also worth noting that often the experience of actually consuming these kinds of things, results in symptoms not that different from actual poisoning. Stomach cramps, nausea, the 'spins', double vision.

While there is plenty of anecdotal support for the longer term benefits of etheogens, the road to a better understanding of yourself and place in the universe is strewn with people hiding in their beds or under a table. The psychonaughts experience isn't exactly a piece of cake and shouldn't be taken lightly. Likewise, the 'why' of why these things help with issues like depression are obvious to any one who has taken the trip. These kinds of altered states force you to confront demons. They help you because they are >hard< and you have to deal with things. The experience helps with depression because it specifically brings to light the issues and causes of ones depression and you have to deal with them.

I'm concerned about the idea of boiling the positive benefits of something like mushrooms into a single compound.

It's almost as if they were ingesting a substance which altered their thinking...

Look, I seriously love shrooms. I stopped everything else, especially weed with all of its subtly negative effects which creep up over time, and do frequent mushroom trips and occasional light dose of alcohol. That said, I find it funny when people do a drug that alters their thinking and perceptions on such a deep level but draw a line at where they think those effects begin and end as if the brain/mind was ever that clearly compartmentalized.
If you use the electricity to run a heat pump you can get a couple more Joules out of the gas. Ideally your gas-plant is also connected to a district heating network, so the 60% heat are not completely lost.

This isn’t mentioned in the article, but I found debug-repl [1] to be amazing when debugging in the repl. For simple prints, wrapping expressions in (doto prn) has always been enough for me without custom readers. But when debugging something super odd, just stopping somewhere and evaluating a bunch of code (with locals in scope) to understand what you’re dealing with is invaluable. Clojure’s immutability makes it especially nice since you can just rerun (most) expressions to “see what happens.”
