14:36:13nyefI would further argue that /this is the most useful line of inquiry/, and that the follow-on question is "how might superhuman will power be replicated on a smaller scale?"
14:37:31nyefAnd that this is not a "technical" problem as such. (Well, it IS, but it's a social-technology thing, not a computer-technology thing.)
14:38:15jackdanielif technology makes things easier, then having this computer technology as your aim influences greatly the overal result
14:39:15jackdanielalso attaining superhuman will power sounds like a lot of a hassle, so having language support which deems it unnecessary is something desireable
14:39:56jackdanielthat reminds me of an essay I've read about cognitive horizont for programmers
14:41:42nyefMmm. Will power is a finite resource. Renewable, yes, but you can only have so much of it at a time. The less you need to use it, the more of it you have to use for important things.
