This seems an extreme solution to media investigation of a small number of people losing their jobs

Perhaps instead, in these situations, employers could provide, at the discretion of the dismissed, information gathered while performing due diligence leading up to the dismissal

It seems that the message is that once everyone has the luxury computer experience, it’s not cool to have the luxury computer

I think it’s pretty cool. I’m glad more people can have better computing experiences at the cost of a select few not getting to feel superior

These people were exploited which is terrible. That the nation that exploited them was still more desirable to them than their former home is also terrible. That all they got in return for being exploited was what they were initially promised but decades later is terrible

Everything presented here is terrible

I’ve recently gotten my shit together by deciding to stop making new habits and worrying about what I do or don’t accomplish

It’s been incredibly freeing to not worry so much about hitting these arbitrary KPIs and instead just see what I feel like doing in any given moment

You’ll struggle to find any blog posts about this perspective though... we’re all too busy enjoying life

Her works are the best place to start

Whereas sites like SSC and LessWrong are rationalist, both of these suggestions are predominately post-rationalist, but perhaps you’re like I was – reading the rationalist sites because I didn’t know there were post-rationalist sites
