I'm tinkering with building software _around_ roam, to get some useful-to-me functionality.

Roam doesn't allow for embedding in other webpages, as a security feature. Is there a workaround that would let me do something like this?

It doesn't need to be web-based. Opening roam in a desktop app wrapper would also work for me.

One thing that would help me figure out if I should invest a lot more into meditation is knowing in what situations it DOESN'T make sense to cultivate a meditation practice.
People who proselytize for meditation practice:

Given you see as the main benefits of meditating, and what diagnostic questions you would ask + what answers someone would give you, that would dampen your recommendation that they meditate?

@sashachapin @nickcammarata
For instance, if someone is naturally super low neuroticism, does that change the cost benefit analysis for them? On average, should they expect to get less out of meditating a lot?

My 31st birthday was a few weeks ago.

If you want to do something nice for my (belated) birthday, the number one thing you can do is suggest people who I might want to date.
I’m planning *not* to prioritize active dating until after the singularity.

I’m sad that I didn’t succeed at finding a life partner before crunch time started in earnest, but given my estimates of the tradeoffs involved, it’s not worth it for me to spend my agency on it now.
But even so, I still want some kind of emotionally-intimate relationship with someone I like and respect. If you introduce me to someone I end up dating semi-seriously for a year, that would be an enormous boon to my life.

More generally, something that I've wanted for a long time is a catalogue of meditation practices and their various effects.
I care about some impacts of meditation more than others (and for some I might want to specifically avoid them, or move in the opposite direction), and it would be helpful to have some kind of guide of the impacts that different ways that different practices change the mind.
Does such a resource exist?

I want to try 5 to 10 different meditation techniques to get a sense of what kind of effect each one has on me, and generally get a good sense of the full landscape of different kinds of meditation.

Which techniques should I try?
I think I should have treated learning both math and meditation as exploration.

Instead of picking something I want to learn and grinding on it, I should have tried a lot of different things, and then doubled down on the ones that I found most fun / engaging / interesting.
Given that realization, I'd like to try a bunch of different meditation techniques, now!

All this sounds basically right to me, and, comports with my own (not yet published) personal ethics, modulo that (to speak in the language Scott is using here, which is not my usual language) we TOTALLY have implicit obligations to animals.

Why wouldn't we?
"If animals are conscious...we probably don't have obligations to them, because we never signed any treaties."

...but also...
"You're obligated to take care of your kids, because you accepted an implicit promise to do so by giving birth to them."

...is a very weird juxtaposition.

This was fascinating (and slightly horrifying). I'd love to read more accounts of the sociological-economic dynamics of "worlds" that I have little exposure to.

This part in particular was thought-provoking.

"Feminine norms" are at least partially rooted in female psychology, but they're also just an adaption to being on the more-in-demand side of a competitive market with non-fixed supply, that thrives on impulsivity. Image
The non-fixed supply and then impulsivity are both important to get feminine norms.

Landlords are on the more-in-demand side of their markets, but they respond to that by charging higher rents. That's not enough to create feminine norms.
