It's utterly bizarre how people keep scape goating HR. It's the typical situation that whenever HR goes out of their way to make "everyone" happy, no one says acknowledges it. But Management can hide behind "HR&quot

I try my best to NOT stay informed. Like a sibling mentioned: stuff that's big enough tends to creep through one way or another. I am however on top on rather arcane topics that I am very interested in. Twitter curation works wonders f

Yes, having studied psychology and neuroscience I get often frustrated how seemingly normal words take on highly specific and often contrasting meanings. Reading article after article and realising that every author uses "attention&#x2

I came to the conclusion that I compress my experiences and rather than "reading them". I process them to subconsciously extract relevant patterns. If I need to remember what I ate on a certain date, I struggle and basically have

Ah. I now see this comment too. I think I understand your other statement about "scientifically supported" better. I have also read the book, and I feel it makes a lot of sense. Like I said in my other post: most discourse only ac
