I had considered religion. And philosophy, as something I consider adjacent to it. Since I was brainstorming all these ideas to myself, I felt a little overloaded about which topics deserve merit for inclusion. Yet both these areas are essentially about "thought" and "the mind". To give you a...

There has been much talk in the press in recent years about life extension technologies moving into overdrive. If you think about it, medical science and hospitals are all about extending your life. Yet they are missing out on tackling the root cause of most killer diseases: ageing. Yet, with...

This isn't necessarily my favourite meal, but tonight I will be cooking a rump steak on the barbecue, to get that nice char-grilled flavour. I have some nice crispy sliced potato things and some peas. Sometimes, I get some Roquefort cheese and melt it in the microwave. It makes a great sauce...

Essentially, are you suggesting that Incremental Reading is a little bit like self imposed ADHD? But that it doesn't matter because the reading material is broken into more granular chunks, which are then randomised and thus reducing the risk of getting bored reading the same thing linearly? To...

Elon Musk has frequently spoke about the concept that we are all in a simulation. As technology becomes more advanced, we have computers with simulations becoming more advanced with each passing year. Think The Sims! Or Sim City! Since there is one planet earth yet there are millions of...

I have a daily routine where I do 10 minutes per day (weekdays to be clear) of CBT. To me, it is like housekeeping the cobwebs in my mind. The rewiring of my randomly created neural pathways into something more positive and orderly can only be a good thing in my view. So for others who...

I'm using Trello to set up my Kanban board. It is free and very well designed, hence its popularity. What many people don't understand about Kanban is the importance of WIP limits. WIP standards for Work in Progress. If you strict the amount of Work in Progress, it helps prevent you starting new...

Any other suggestions?

There is a great fun little text you can do to assess your personality on 3 traits: 1. Machiavellian 2. Narcissism 3. Psychopathy It only takes 5 minutes! Lets us know how you get on. :D Please note that if you cannot get access to this test because of your location, there are other tests of...

I loved the Terminator movies. When they first came out, it was all a bit of fun. Besides, would robots ever get to that level of intelligence? It seemed a pipe-dream far off into the future. However, the whole concept of a takeover from AI is becoming a key issue in the minds of many. What is...

Insane_AI, I sympathise with your situation. Your idea of a mental health section is excellent. Let me create that for you now. The Mind Tavern is evolving into areas I did not previously consider. But in hindsight, they are highly relevant. Edit: New Mental Health forum section found here...

I am a PC man. I know that makes me sound boring! I did buy myself an iMac for £2,300 as I bought into the hype. It has ended up as a glorified YouTube player! Yes, it is fast (i7 and all that). But my neural pathways are too ingrained with the Windows way. And the obsolecence of a locked in...

OMG that sounds terrible. I thought a company like that would be closed before it got that bad. Were there no checks and balances? Health & safety inspectors? Was it a large company? Do you think you will get compensation if the federal case goes ahead for constructive dismissal or is it just a...

I have thought about how to improve the sites logo. How about a mug of beer, just hanging at an angle the the right of the "n" of "Tavern"?

The Back Button!!!! :ROFLMAO:

Does Six Sigma use Kanban? I am currently going through a book called, "Kanban in Action." It's great and adds to the body of knowledge floating around in my head.

I can manually edit the points if I like. :p

Wow, that sounds horrendous! When you say bankruptcy, do you mean it was your business and your employees were in mutiny or that you would rather leave your stable income and leave than carry on in a mental damaging environment?

But why? Don't aggravate others!

I was just about to say Like the post then, but you beat me to it! That is another reason to use Anki, rather than just becoming a geography expert for a pub quiz!
