Все очень хорошо. Forgive me for reacting a bit too quickly to your comment, then.

Again - yeah sure, there are communication benefits to general proximity. But the idea that this literally happens "at the water cooler" (or from bumping into each other in the hallway) to a significant degree -- such that it&#x27

The bottom line is that humans "hallucinate" (or just plain make mistakes) also -- and, contrary to what the other commenter says, aren't always aware of doing so (nor are they always honest about this fact). Especially when

I believe this actually has a ton of unexplored utility, Like what specifically?

You may live longer but you may not be awake longer. I find that the 16 hours I have after clocking 8 hours are infinitely more "awake" than the 19 hours I get when I only clock 5. Which is basically what the sleep researchers

It's understandably hard to get actual numbers on the proportion of bilingual people. It's not "easy" to get the data but it's a well-studied topic. As attended to by people who presumably have thought about the

Most people live in countries that are basically monolingual ("dominant" as you say), though not in the the naive, sheltered way that the US is.

Switzerland is a bad example, because it's socially and multilingual. Whereas if one looks at basically monolingual societies (e.g. most of the countries in Europe) one find that not only is not everyone bilingual (and no, "everyo

Everyone else nowadays is bilingual anyway. Uh, no. According to statistics (and everyday observation), slightly less than half of "everyone" is.

Then why not just offer 15-25 days of explicit vacation? That you can, you know, actually use? Like a decent, healthy, civilized company. That doesn't try to mess with its employees heads (quite so blatantly and needlessly).
