I don't know where you get this idea from? Where does it say that schools are teaching kids to act socially mature without understanding why? Mindfulness if taught well should provide the opposite. It gives you a framework to understan

This is not entirely true though. It took Wag's lawyers more than 15 minutes to draft that NDA. Even after submitting it, and the story being posted online, there is still a chance for them to turn around and admit they fucked up. This

Honestly, I don't think "useless and incompetence" is a relevant criticism of those who were put in charge of the negotiations. Even a team 100 times more competent than May's would still run into the same hard issues.
