I completely agree. From my experience in Academia, what happens is, that university departments simply don't know better. They scramble together a course or program they think its needed, and shape it from THEIR perspective of what it

The alternative to this is being also competent at leading.

> This is shockingly vapid and wishy-washy even for PG He has been like this for a while now. His last few essays are simply advertisement for a startup accelerator. Conveniently, he also owns one of them.

I agree with you, also about the strawberry analogy. I was quite surprised to read that author is 22 years old. So many young smart people around!

As per info on the site, author is not German and does not live in Germany (Russian living in Poland). Apparently, his name however is "German".

Best habit, by far. I'd also recommend taking a walk free of any devices. I leave my phone at home and walk through the park few mins away form my home.

Well... I am sure someone made good money out of that. In Slovenia, a post-Yugoslavian country, the school library coordinated a textbook borrowing scheme, where they would own all the material and lend it to students each year. Parents wou

The problem with the back-of-the-book is that once you answer the same exercise few times, you remember what the result is and you work on memory not on skill. At least this is something i struggled with. Digitalization should be able to p

That's because our idea of "Digitalisation of Schools" is putting a textbook into pdf form, let student use a computer to open it and call it digitalisation. I am somehow involved in this field and am yet to see an actual par

Not only that! You know the typical image of a witch? With a pointy hat and a giant round-shaped pot? Those were illegal beer brewers in Belgium! Women would put their pointy hat on their door as a sign that there might be, if you ask nicel

There is a subreddit called r/r/SelfAwarewolves, where people unknowingly and accidentally basically answer their own questions or suspicions without realizing. And this is how I feel about recent few pg's essays. There is th

I think what you are trying to say is that Hendrix captured a specific sound and won over a generation of listeners, while Knoplfer displayed a mastery of the instrument, rarely seen in the mainstream. However, don't underestimate him,

Omg man, thanks for ruining my life! I wish I would have this when I was obsessed with it as a teenager in 2010s, and no one else liked similar music.

> I only saw Hendrix play live one time I love how nonchalantly you threw this one in. I am proper jealous, how was it? On your first remark, I agree. This is why I love Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler. The studio recordings are amazing,

Eu actually plans to introduce something similar through its EUDIW initiative. It will be a digital wallet focusing on privacy preservance and user control over attributes that are shared. It will take some time tho before it is successfull

To add to this discussion as someone who had above experience this winter, after (literally) years of mood fluctuations, fatigue and brain fog. I have started taking SSRI after a harder-than-usual body collapse, and after no matter what I d
