    I generally like this idea, although I think calling it, “mentoring”, might attach an unnecessary connotation. I’m also not sure what else you would call it, so that might just be my own bias talking. I’m interested in working out the logistics of using Shapley Values to distribute profits fairly in a cooperative company and want to work through some messy, real-world examples. If this sounds like fun, let me know and I’ll sign up. Thanks for doing this!

    I was recently researching Shapley Values as a way to distribute profits fairly in a cooperative organization. The same calculation can also be used to determine the amount that an agent contributes to any group effort (think AI agents, solving a problem). I THINK this could be applied to reputational systems, provided you could define what you meant by reputation well enough that it could be calculated. Shapley won a Nobel Prize for the work because his method is provably the most fair way to allot responsibility for work.

    I’m going to recommend, in addition to meditation, that you look into IFS Therapy. You can see an actual therapist about it, but you can also just read a book on the subject and do it yourself unless you have really deep trauma or addictions to deal with. The guy who invented it has several books, but I recommend Self Therapy by Jay Earley as it is based around working on your own and is basically like meditation with the purpose of resolving your inner issues. My ADHD brain has improved a ton since I started doing it. Feel free to message me if you have any questions. This is my current Hyperfocus, so I’m already way down the rabbit hole on research. 😁

    The ancient power was the equivalent of a futuristic computer virus. The other power that the computer virus attacked and destroyed essentially programmed Pham with the antivirus, but because human are so simple, it overwrote his personality and used him like a computer to destroy the virus entity. Pham was in a fugue state for so much of that last trip because his brain was doing stuff that human brains aren’t really designed for. I forget if this word is actually used in the book, but I have heard the term, “god shattered”, to describe this state. So Pham was programmed with the antivirus and sent off to stop it, which he did, but he was basically destroyed in the process.

    I’m not sure where you are from, but coming from the US I can say that olive oil gets a bad rap because most of the grocery store stuff is rancid and low quality. I’m currently traveling in Spain and high quality olive oil is truly sublime. Also be aware that, like wine or coffee, different types have vastly different flavors, so see if you can find a specialty shop that will let you sample several and see what you like.

    Ooh! Tell me about this! I’m wanting to make a rye sourdough, but I’m having a hard time sourcing rye flour locally. Did you make a starter specifically for rye, or use a more normal flour starter? Anything special to your process? Your grain structure looks great!

    This is not a general answer to your question, but many times if I go to the original manufacturers website they will tell me where I can find their products locally. Failing that you could bite the bullet and call the manufacturer. They should have a distribution database that can answer your question. I’m going to watch this thread to see if someone has a real answer eventually.
