Epistemology, Cognition and Category Theory: A Model for the Mind

Data and metadata about functions and language in particular is likely found all over the brain. And information related to other faculties of the mind is likely similarly sharded all over the brain. This would help achieve dynamic behavior, as it would allow multiple regions of the brain to sort of map functionality together. But doing so would also contribute to efficiency and redundancy.

Epistemology, Cognition and Category Theory: An Overview

I love learning new things. I get to experience beginner's mind again and it gives me a chance to reflect on the process I use to learn.

Oh I Have this Stellar Startup Idea Worth Millions ★ Just Kidding ★ April Fools

So, I just want to explain why I feel like the most underrated, overlooked person on the planet. Below is a business proposal I submitted to Virginia Tech for their Game Changers Challenge Loan, a $25,000 loan to start a business. There was a 5-page limit to entries, so this business proposal is not perfect. Admittedly, one of the rules for this contest was that your business could not be one that needed the first $25,000 of a $500,000 seed round. So I did not expect to win.

These tools will help you, but you will notice sometimes that these really really piss a bully off. Be warned - some battles aren't worth fighting. Your energy and talents may be better suited elsewhere. Of course, that's not to say you shouldn't stand up for yourself.

Defense Against The Dark Arts: Perps, Trolls and Passive Aggressive Tactics

One of the worst aspects of passive aggressive behavior -- and one reason that it is so effective -- is that positive behavior becomes easy to confuse with negative behavior, since the goal is to confuse cause and effect, to encourage inaction and to prevent interference.
