Yeah. Think about years-of-sexual-abuse-and-physical-torture-by-a-relative trauma. Think about locked-in-a-basement-forced-to-eat-excrement trauma. Think about forced-for-years-to-rape-your-brother trauma. This is the kind of thing that cre

I can’t recommend enough the book Cubed. It’s the history of the idea of the office. The evolution of the open plan is told in a fascinating way, but also the origin of the office worker. https://www.goodreads.com/book/

Nowadays I just keep reading, if possible without clicking anything. Sometimes all I can get is 200 pixels of vertical reading space, but heck, fuck your cookies. Sometimes I can’t scroll and just close the site

He writes in a very marketing-informed way. He clearly point to (his) previous work, clearly and repeatedly remembers the reader how amazing is the things he is trying to do, and shameless link (both in text and via hiperlinks) to his own e

It’s not just capacity to counter-strike, but willingness to do so. This is a whole game theory thing that was developed in could war. To be willing to kill millions even if it was pointless is part of the game: the enemy must be completely

He is absolutely correct. MAD is for deterrence. If your enemy already launched the missiles, there is no point in killing millions just for revenge. Obviously, you cannot have this benevolent mindset in the first place, because your enemy
