Nietzsche had no qualms with asserting answers. If anything this should be named after Socrates. But then Socrates would have despised AI for its automation of thinking. Really this Claude project shouldn't be named after philosophers at all.

Was the game Ökolopoly an influence on him? It was a 'cybernetic environment game (kybernetik unweltspiel)' from West Germany where players run a country and strive to hold off economic, social and ecological collapse. It was released as a board game (beautiful, if I may so so, owning a copy) in the early 1980s and then the true, apparently fully realised DOS videogame followed later. It always seemed like a simple Sim City to me.

Further question, how much did he read about cyberneticş beyond Gaia Theory? Was he influenced by Norbert Wiener?

Why is Polymarket legal? I just don't understand.

This is something I wanted to get into after vising Alhambra, which really is the "mirror of paradise" that it purported to be. You say that the complex designs are done by hand, but given how mathematical they are it left me wondering if there is a thriving scene of computer-generated patterns?

Wait why are there separate mens and womens prizes?

Bit confused, what's this to do with the CIA World Factbook?

I remember that one of Stockholm's train line is also endearingly tiny too?

Looks like TFL issued a whopping three fines in total last year...

Because silence is a common good, like clean air. It's everyone's. When people fill it with their noise they effectively privatize it for the duration. When they shout on speakerphone or play their music or blare sound from their apps it's especially selfish.

Imagine if they were dealing with the US police...

Same for bicycle lights too, and street lights.

Anyone working with a Smalltalk implementation?

This was a really helpful answer, thank you. I'm not sure why you've been downvoted.

I've switched to a CAT S22 Android builder's flip phone, and my usage has dropped significantly. The screen is so small and fiddly that it makes me feel sick using it for extended periods - exactly what you want from an adictive substance like a smart phone. Having to physically open it to use it, and then waiting 5 seconds before it lights up, creates a psychic barrier to just 'quickly checking for updates'. The camera is like an early 2000s cheap digicam - just about good enough for documenting things but it hardly beckons you to want to photograph your life constantly for social media. It's a PITA to use and that's why it's perfect for everyday use.

I've been thinking about finally getting a smartwatch to keep tabs on my sleep and encourage me to do more exercise, like jogging for a certain amount of time or something. Suggestions for privacy respecting, ideally FOSS solutions?
