Sometimes bias is good. If you have two people - one is suffering (from forces outside their control ie society) and one is doing well, it makes sense to bias aid towards the one suffering. Our society creates winners and losers, and often

We do, but it’s a broader problem than simply “minorities incur racism”. Racism manifests in all directions and while it’s valid to have support for minorities, it is nonetheless divisive that our society only takes racism seriously in one

I really hate to make generalizations about either side tanking the integrity of the news, but I’m at the point of total over saturation for believing the left’s cries about doomsday being around the corner. I just emotionally and mentally

Well if we’re waiting on a geographically distributed workforce then I can see two extremes which will force that. 1 The tech giants need to many employees/tech giant cities become too overpopulated for the move to Bay Area it similar

Personally I think we view education entirely too much as an individual responsibility. The worker isn’t the only one who benefits from the education. Companies, investors and society at large does too. So to push that cost entirely onto th

Wow this story is tragic all the way through. I hope the people involved can heal to any extent.

Wow speak about a masterpiece to nothing. This was a wonderfully pontificated article about nothing.

Eh idk. I’d say that it’s more like going to a play to watch an old acquaintance perform while sitting in the way back where they can’t see. Is that voyeurism? Because on social media, typically the idea is people opt to display their lives

I mean it was war. Like it or not you don’t go into war negotiations with a limp hand - it’s a weak negotiating point. So I don’t think the US needed to make a hat in hand offer for it to be considered valid.

I would assume that when we’re talking about billions of dollars that the people in charge of creating an IPO strategy are a bit more ahead of the markets than the rest of us right? Full disclosure I’m not knowledgeable in this area, but it

Thanks for the insight. I’ve only been working independently for a short two years and I’m constantly wondering if I should feel as weak as I do about it. Your analogy is very meaningful. You’re right - that billionaire never would have tak

How did you come across these implementers? I’ve recently been thinking about a concept like this, and how effective I would be to have one, but I’ve never heard the term until you used it. What does your group do? I’m very into the “crazy

If I can pick your brain for advice - how on earth does one get into a position of being in a think tank or getting to lead teams if one struggles so much on the levels below? I have a decent-ish work history, still in my twenty’s and a mas

Wow that really hit close to home. ESP the bit about abstractions. And you’re right - I know a lot about things I rightfully should know very little. It’s led to people around me assuming I’m making things up when in reality I’m just connec

I’ve definitely been turning more and more towards the concept of mindfulness and being in the present moment. Although I’ll say that while it helps, I find it far from fulfilling regarding all this. It scratches the itch sometimes in a sma

I’m not anyone super important but this is how I’ve lived my life. Honestly it feels chaotic. My mind is always running via executive control. In some ways this, I believe, has provided me with a very unique worldview where anything seems p

It’s a fair question. IMHO it absolutely should include if you’re sitting idle. One of the biggest scams these companies are taking part in wrt labeling their workers as “contractors” is you have to work the worst hours to hit metrics. You

Totally agree. I got through that first story and thought to myself “damn this is going to take way too long to get to the meat”. And like you say, these stories all have the same narrative styling so it’s not even entertaining anymore. Whe

I couldn’t agree with you more. It’s been getting me down lately - how everyone is just doing the same thing. Echoing the same thoughts (while ironically patting themselves on the back for their perceived intelligence in doing so). Taking t
