They are marketed to people in my experience who are relatively poor. I know a guy who has a problem making rent who has all of his savings (about 1k) in dogecoin or other gambles like individual stocks. I have also met a ton of service peo

> posting a salary range has many positive downstream effects I agree. I'm just not sure if I agree that it particularly benefits underprivileged groups. I don't see a compelling argument being made by the author that the syste

I was never the type of person to try to write a framework to solve a tiny little task, but I am probably 50% more effective with my time since I stopped caring about my job. I am not stressed out at all and that makes a massive difference.

Psychedelics are a good analogy. I don't think they are worth much in our culture and carry serious risk for people who are unstable. Even if you find an authentic shaman, you aren't going to have the cultural context to make it w

I am not a doctor but normal pneumonia recovery doesn't cause myocarditis, memory loss, abnormal liver function, kidney damage or gastrointestinal damage. It seems very likely at this point that COVID is a disease of the blood vessels,

Yeah I think that basically sums it up. The dangers of long term COVID far, far outweigh the potential risks of the vaccine. It seems many people have a fundamental distrust of vaccines and many also still don't understand how dangerou

Have you gotten tested for any possible heart damage? There are some reports of athletes being benched because of a heart condition caused by COVID that can cause sudden death during exercise.

This is very, very sad. It is an extreme example of how when society moves away from in person communication it becomes meaner. When you remove the in person element people start acting much worse to each other.

I found ssris to be a prison. A profound spiritual stasis. They cut me off from myself. They muted my emotions so instead of learning to deal with them I stayed passive and simply ignored them. When I got off of them I spent quite awhile le

Thanks for saying this. I am sick of software engineers thinking they are smarter and than other people because they make more money. How much money you make does not equate to your worth as a human being. Software engineering is not that d

Clearly a big part of these approaches is the affect of placebo. Placebo is also a big part of the impact of many parts of western medicine. In clinical trials antidepressants barely outperform placebos for instance. You've raised a go

It sounds to me like you will reach a better practice without the app regardless of cost. I would force myself to do it without the app for 20 or 25 minutes, just wait for the timer to go off. Do that a few times and it will get easier. Fro

Not sure what your practice is like with the app. But for a stability practice which is the more common type, I would set a timer and sit with good posture so your skeleton is supporting itself. Focus on your breathing especially within the

Most people dont think War and Peace was even Tolstoys greatest novel. Anna Karenina is regarded as the greatest novel of all time by lots of authors and critics though of course there is no consensus and its sort of a silly notion.
