Have people been getting rewarded with hustling more than their peers? Promotions that aren't popularity contests are exceedingly rare from my experience.

Have you been to Canada? It's not hard to walk in a pharmacy and get it.

Trump only won thanks to the electoral college, not because of democracy.

But neutrality is imaginary in reality. Because law is a flawed reflection of society's morality

How is it a symbol of fear? Masks for infection control have been used since the late 1800s. It's purely practical.

Maybe a little fear would be healthy for some people if it makes them act in a socially integrated manner. Anybody who's had covid probably doesn't want to get it again.

The things we do to avoid covid also help with avoiding other respiratory infections as well, all of which are pretty terrible to get in case anybody forgot about them.

But saying that covid isn't causing damage is itself highly myopic.

I personally wasn't, but I turned 17 during the 2008 financial crisis, so that jump started getting engaged with things.

My sisters are way more aware of the world than I was at the time, for instance. But if you talk to some younger people, you'll find that things are different than even a decade ago for younger people.

Teens are either far more informed about the world than their parents or completely oblivious to it. Not much in between.

It's about non destructive editing, a very powerful tool for professional workflows especially for fine tuning changes and making things repeatable.

They spend more time iterating on existing products rather than replacing them, not perfectly, but Google will throw away something good for seemingly no reason.

Sounds like he's just trying to speak Elon's language to me.

The first thing to try is to bring that up. By stating that you struggle to trust people, you can ask them to help you examine what thoughts you have that are associated with trust in the first place, and that's really helpful in developing a mindful understanding of what's happening.

Trust is also a push-pull thing in the first place, so going in with an honest attempt can help you gauge your reaction before learn who to trust.

Calling what therapy does as "creating delusions" helps nobody. Therapy offers a number of tools that helps a person get grounded in reality, helps a person create boundaries, and helps strengthen a person's abilities to deal with their life stresses by creating the framework to either deal with them or help move on to a new environment that doesn't create as much stress.

Not all therapists are good. If you try somebody and don't connect or trust them, try to find somebody else. Internalizing stress really destroys the body, and it's important to find somebody you trust to help process it.

Right. Humans are animals. Trying to make a distinction on a biological level is always going to be tenuous.

A phrase I've heard that demonstrates that concept is "hiding your power level"
