Same here. When I was younger I liked imagining having conversations with people from the past like Plato or something, thinking about their reactions to The Future. (Though I guess I only really imagined my own side of the conversation.)

Add in a zip bomb or two?

Now you have me wondering how badly http gzip content compression can be abused along those lines.

"Trophic" typically means nutritional, what's the connection here?

Fascinating stuff regardless.

I don’t know if related intentionally, but in Greece you can say that a wound θρέφει threphe as a verb for healing.

For me the biggest blocker is just picking a task from my todo list when I don't have someone asking me (today) and I didn't leave a task half finished. If it's been >1d since someone asked me for something, I'm often fairly paralyzed for a while and it's a huge exertion to commit to a task. But when I get going I'm fine. TODO lists, gtd, calendars or AI don't seem to help me there.

Good to hear I'm not the only one.

How would you know? What evidence can you put forth that say a dog or dormouse does not have a conscious experience, but your next door neighbour (presumably human) has?

Behavioral observation.

Is there a plain pdf? That page was extremely hard to read and Reader mode doesn't seem to handle it in Firefox

Absolutely savage document reading experience.

I also suspect timings will be very repo specific, eg most of mine don't have very many tags.

It's in the FAQ, we pronounce it like "Euro-key" in English.

these people have never matured past childhood

the world makes a lot more sense once you realise there is no such thing as “adults”

I disagree! I would call many people adults. They're largely responsible and care about the impact they have on the world and other people.

It's certainly a murky thing to define, which is why I used "mature." Many adults are people who have not matured beyond childhood. This I agree with.
