You can find a way to use that to your advantage. I do "robotic" stuff when I am foggy. All that stuff that I would otherwise find super boring. Doing the dishes, cleaning up, doing repetitive tasks that has a low attention requir

Probably similar to the NYT subscriptions surge during the Trump administration. People just buying to signal and "support the cause". Partisan views have it a lot easier to raise money from their followers than those trying to fi

I am only talking about the US situation here and treating the situation as if the Guardian were a US publication. That whole 'foreign media trying to meddle with US politics' narrative has reached an ironical meme status that is

58.9% of Americans voted last election. Has the Guardian already lost that much touch with reality to accept that those 41.1% of the population exist who don't care about their outrage theater?

What they are doing is advancing the politicizing of everything and driving an agenda of divisiveness. Why is an artist is not allowed to be an artist anymore but needs to be an political activist? Even worse, because TS doesn't follow

A 'moral crisis' for the Guardian's editorial board is not a moral crisis for a 20-something popstar.

Wow, I haven't seen that before! Just stunning how distorted the Guardian's editorial board has become. Their hatefulness must have become so deep seeded that they are unable to tolerate anyone out there who does not wanted to get

It still amazes me how Germany was able to pull this off. Considering their current state of self-awareness I was expecting much more likely for them to sell it all off and invest it into social causes.

But in the end they are not able to pay the same amount of attention to 2000 startups vs 200. Or having really a hard time providing the same quality team. Does that in the end mean that it doesn't really matter for the success of a YC

But if you understand how the system works and it seems not surprising that you will face tougher challenges. I am not sure in how far this is different from rejecting the notion that a driving license is necessary to operate a car. You can

But isn't that the whole point? That unless you are doing certain things to the extreme, they might be good or bad. That things as complex as health are rarely shaped by just one isolated variable.

I am absolutely against that exam culture so I like that suggestion a lot. The exam perspective is just completely artificial which has nothing to do with the real world. That project based approach mirrors the real world much better where

Thing is, in that industry being known for bending the rules is most likely a badge of honor. If you really want to go after them you need to use their tactics back on them, e.g. drag their families out of anonymity etc.

I'd hope no democratic state would do such a thing in the current time. Wishful thinking. Let's hope we can meet again in 50 years and chat about the good old times.

Obligations and also the expectation of "intention". Just doing things without intending to become an expert of it or using it for some sort of more "purposeful" purpose has become so rare.

As far as I know this has been mostly about boosting "diversity" quotas at German Universities in order to perform better in international rankings. Previously this had been done by rising the amount of students coming from low-in

Not sure if this is the same as meditating. I experience sometimes similar states when really engaging with a research topic. But I would describe it more as a state of "flow" i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2
