I'm assuming that it shot up farther than expected rather than out of nothing at all.

This. Is. Brilliant.

Good analysis of the nooks and crannies of potential for trucking. I work in this space and there's still a lot to learn here.

Ancient observer here - we all know that history doesn't repeat but it rhymes and people are just hairless (mostly), crazy bonobos at heart. The expectation that things will be different somehow goes away if you pay attention to history.

"Lee and his colleagues confirmed this by looking at people’s brain activity with an fMRI when they’re making decisions about the future. They used a brain decoder to detect a “neural signature of the vividness of prospective thought”

What twaddle. fMRI will tell you quite a bit about blood flow etc. but "brain decoder" is bullshit. It's like taking a thermal image of the primary PCB and saying you've just backed all of the operating system and secondary code out of the image.

The author will continue to push the button, write down the number and have a career, but imagine the future harm they're doing by furthering such an appallingly fraudulent approach.

It's a shame (but not at all surprising) that rejecting unpaid work has been turned into a pejorative concept.
