|    Things that fill children with happiness    |

      From: treon3verdery@gmail.com              Greater tolerance of child like behaviors at school could make children happier       I think some of children's actions make them happy, perhaps sometimes with an       immediate focus, while sharing and teaching reading one of the students picked       up a chair, put it on his head and twirled it around, but his facial       expression and vocal tone        were neutral, it could have just been being lively, I thought it was a fine       thing to do, I thought about what the kindergarten teacher might think, at a       more tolerant environment other children might have imitated him and some       chairs might be audible or        provide distraction to all the students in the room simultaneously, if it       takes the teacher 3, 7, or 9 minutes to get all the children to recommence       their learning, and this happens twice a day then that is about 4% of the days       education missed out on, i        think it is possible to make education much more effective, and just 4%       greater improvement among the much greater improvement possible would make it       possible to tolerate more childish behaviors. It is possible that tolerance       would make children happier.        So for every 14% increase in educational efficiency 2% of the gain is utilized       at tolerance of noneducational behaviors then a 100% increase in educational       effectiveness would be 14.2% greater time children's noneducational behaviors       could be tolerated        while maintaining notable gains in educational effectiveness. That is about       8.52 minutes of extracurricular activity per child per hour, if that       chronological interval were utilized to make children happier, then children       would be happier, the thing is,        what is the way to double the effectiveness of education. Terence Tao has an       IQ of 200, it is likely he learns more than twice as fast as others, germline       gene modification to make people, that is persons, that is humans, that is       homo sapiens 3, 4, 5, 9,        10, 11, 20, 21, 22, 23, or 24 times more intelligent than Treon Verdery       beneficially multiply the effect of education and causes the amount of       tolerance of children's behavior to go way up, making them happier.                                   Longevity technology       Human growth hormone is associated with greater wellness and I think       healthspan, but not longevity, screen a million molecular variants to find out       if any cause greater longevity at yeast, a few thousand variants could be       screened with the outdoor mouse        dorm. Also human thought could go into localization of human growth hormone to       concentrate it at certain areas (possibly CNS and muscles and peripheral       nervous system) and away from areas it might be deleterious like the       cardiovascular system. Putting        localization moieties at the human growth hormone protein could facilitate       that. Also there may be SNP variations and allele variations among humans.       Among supercentenarians over 115 those gene variants that contribute most to       healthspan and wellness        could be considered, thoughtfully, and the effect on the lifespan of the       entire human distribution considered before making drugs and optional gene       therapies, there could also be a drug addressable epigenetic component              Semiconductor technology       It is possible that some integrated circuit materials have higher feature       resolutions than 3nm or 1nm, making things out of those materials with regular       engineering compatible feature performance that is eentsier than the entire       full range of        semiconductor materials is beneficial, perhaps elements like K and Na coated       with larger SiO2 would omit reacting with anything but still have utility at       MEMS or even conductive pathways between other features              Photonic technology              Genetics of being an autodidact. It is possible being an autodidact has a       genetic component, they could look at the genetics of autodidacts and find out       if anything is associated with it, psychometrics might find cognitive       components of being an        autodidact and they could find out if the components had separate findable       genetics and then find out if people with all of those separate components at       the population were more autodidactic, then it could be a beneficial part of       the germline at all        humans              I favor children being taught they have a right to turn machines off. I favor       making machines so beneficial, and at robots that emulate personality, so       benevolent children and adults seek them out and turn them on and keep them on.              I favor all artificial intelligence and robots be nonsentient.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
