I didn't watch this video, but am familiar with "The Body Keeps the Score", and want to contribute supporting evidence (that I don't recall being discussed in the book). I've taken and taught voice for theatre, foll

This is a process vs product issue. Yes, the product ("here's what this is / is about") can be captured wherever, but the process of engagement is the valuable bit. Of course no one - no matter how intelligent! - wil

Same here! I only developed a feel for the actual geography once we had a car. I love driving in London. It demands complete attention, like an action-oriented video game, and the culture (if you will) of drivers is a wonderful blend of c

That's a really interesting question! The two cities with which I am most familiar are San Francisco and London, and (though I'd never thought about it before) my navigational concepts of them are very different. Getting around

Ironically, the banana piece was all about pointing out the triviality of (much) contemporary art! But... Yeah. That's probably the explanation for the disconnect. It's so extreme, though. Everyone (literally everyone !) owns an

Exactly. Which is the rationale for asking about past trauma in an interview. If the interviewee locks up in a traumatic flashback then they're clearly not prepared to do the job. Again: I'm not defending the practice. It's a

Off the top of my head: - HR professionals deal with a ton of shit, including assaults. - First responders, obviously. - Message board moderators? - Customer service of any kind. (The Karen memes are irritating, and really, really mean, but

Former performing artist here, and I totally agree. Thanks. I don't think that's what this article was trying to do, although it wasn't particularly great. The most telling (and frustrating) point of information is that 96% o

My taste is in agreement with yours, but I'm not sure Guernica fits the other examples you gave. In person it's overwhelming, because it's huge - much too big to hold in your head at once - and every corner of it has some

Not a rope-making expert, but I attended a workshop once. With three holes you can twist the strands together and get a three-strand rope in one step. That's how the (early-modern) process I observed worked. I think doing it the way yo

Ability to function during emotionally-difficult circumstances can be a job requirement. (Likely not software engineering, hence the scorn on this forum!) It's unlikely the interviewers are curious about the interviewee's story, b

I want Aristotle's treatise on Comedy, and if I'm allowed to be terribly greedy, just one more play by Aeschylus. This is the most exciting thing in the world to me right now, these scrolls, along with the thought that there might

Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and people read newspapers on public transport, there were all sorts of (mostly unspoken) etiquette rules around how to do so. For instance, everyone would silently angle themselves (and their newspapers

I think the critical element in the UK hasn't been regulation, so much as the NHS putting a hard price floor under everything that private providers offer. The two systems worked symbiotically. As / if the NHS is killed, private m

Sorry, the GP has it right. I've worked in that industry, and (like lots of other industries) there's plenty of money (even selling the output at "normal people" prices) sloshing around to pay everyone involved a decent

In the interests of steelmanning: without the "US crewed" provision of the Jones Act, all of those ships would be manned by poorly-paid foreign sailors. Americans would be driven out of the profession, which - in the event of the

My understanding is that desert sand gets blown around by the wind, which (heh) sands it smooth. Smooth sand doesn't grip the concrete (I think), so it's not amenable for building. When I first read that my question was whether a

It took skill to create a convincing Photoshop fake. It could absolutely be done, but the people who'd taken the time to develop those skills usually didn't employ them to do things like this. They'd go on to master something

Yeah, classroom behavior sets the floor (and often the ceiling) for what can be accomplished. It's a hell of a lot easier when students are already aligned towards decorum and achievement. However, teachers and schools can create class

Nah. They take away physical menus because they need them for the next guests. Restaurants never - even high-end ones (which might be surprising, but high-end restaurants have more-expensive to produce menus) - never have enough menus. Ow
