Another way to frame the same observation that I like goes: "A magician, asked how he comes up with his magical tricks, asks back: are human rational or irrational? It's a trick question, we are rationalizers. We make up our minds

That's a very bad-faith take on what I wrote. I'll self-quote: >The experience made me think that it's tremendously valuable for kids to find *multiple places* (at least one outside school) where they can meet their peers.

Sorry, by natives I meant Japanese Natives ; A school for japanese kids (kids of japanese parents). Although I read that in Canada they recently removed that restriction, since there's now 3rd and 4th generation Canadian that teaches

As a kid, the "fun" about Saturday school fluctuated. In the beginning it was super fun, after a while it became a chore (and I whined to my mom) but in the end I enjoyed it and it was tremendously valuable. The school had a lot o

Sure! as far as I know, it's somewhat standardized and the east asian countries all have it (Korea, China, Japan). I know this because the Chinese Saturday School was close by. It's usually sponsored by the embassy & in the ca

I'm glad my east Asian mother put me through Saturday school for natives during my school years in Sweden. The most damning example I have about Swedish school system is anecdotal: by attending Saturday school, I never had to study mat

I would love it. I'm currently using DFInstagram, which removes home feed. Only downside I see is that is also removes Instagram stories which I do like to check, but I can do that from PC if I want. As for YouTube I can already remove

Don't worry it's common for natives too. Not born & raised in Japan but went to Saturday school for Japanese in Europe and I was excited to be able to read (and understand) the newspaper for the first time at middle school, be

Maybe not something to ask here, but how does pirating work now in 2025? Last time I did it regularly wash during my teens (18 years ago). Is it still torrent? Pirate bay? I've probably lost my "sense" to distinguish fishing&

Because in our modern world, productivity is virtue. And if you want to live a virtuous life(= better self image, self actualization), you need to live a productive life. That's what the modern culture have told you. It wasn't alw

Another positive is that you're morally clean. "A place to live is an financial investment" is a perverse idea to begin with. You won't be a passive participant of one ill in the society. HN is quick to debate often abou

I think we are in agreement though. You can do both: work hard for a while, enjoy life for a while. Compounding interest is real, it's only limited if you're in a rush to "retire early". I'd rather find a job I like
