Great context on one of my favorite thinkers. I learned something I hadn't seen in other profiles, his views on family therapy/double bind theory were influenced by losing a sibling to suicide. Makes perfect sense. I wish Bateson

Note: you only get $125 if you previously paid for credit monitoring. If not, your "payout" from this settlement will simply be a few years of free monitoring. Not terrible, but not quite as exciting as the free money you'd e

I had no idea Bateson was connected to psychedelic drug research, in addition to being a war hero/secret agent, but I guess I'm not surprised given the interdisciplinary nature and general excellence of his work. Interesting lette

Couldn't agree more. It's a pity that Mead and Bateson's work, particularly Bateson's, seems to have never made it to the mainstream. If more techies and psychiatrists understood their kind of systems thinking, the world

Sorry. I assumed I was being trolled and reacted accordingly. I was being ever so slightly hyperbolic in my statement about not washing hands. For the record, I do use the time-honored air-dry, shake-hands-vigorously and/or dry-on-pant

Honest question: is there anything about my comment or profile that suggests I’m open to receiving hygiene suggestions from a complete stranger on the internet? It’s not like I don’t know how to have clean hands, just saying.

Yeah, I just don’t buy it. 100% recycled paper towels are a thing. And if you really want to get technical it seems like manufacturing and using those devices consume far more energy. Anyway, glad I’m not the only one shaking my head at the

Shoot, I get nervous and feel like crying when I see a hand dryer, and I’m in my mid 30s. Those devices are literally painful for me to be around. I view them as a scourge and will consider not washing my hands if there’s no soundproofed
