Walter Benjamin basically predicted this in The Storyteller (1936) — nearly a century before smartphones:

> "If sleep is the apogee of physical relaxation, boredom is the apogee of mental relaxation. Boredom is the dream bird that hatches the egg of experience. A rustling in the leaves drives him away."

Or you could say in other words: Everything is a remix!

Dale Carnegie and Steven Covey have both been heavily influenced by Alfred Adler, the Austrian psychotherapist and founder of individual psychology.

Halal food does not belong to Japan, and it is very cruel. > "I realized that educating the people around me was going to be a permanent part of my life here" The entitlement and arrogant ignorance is really strong. As a German who left Germany long time ago, I really hope Japan stays Japanese. When I visit, it feels like a full system restore for me — the social harmony, the deep consideration for others, the quiet competence. It’s one of the last places that still feels good and is quiet. It’s simple systems thinking: Japan’s high-trust culture works.

Japan is trying to protect it: comprehensive surveillance of mosques and Islamic-related organisations in Japan includes profiling, cameras, undercover agents, informants, and the collection of personal data. It began shortly after the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001, became public through a leak in 2010, and the Supreme Court declared it legal in 2016 (stating it was "necessary and unavoidable" for counter-terrorism).

Japan is nice because it is Japanese. And now I'm probably going to loose my hard-earned 46 karma points here on HN. ;-) worth it.

also interesting: Dale Carnegie admired Alfred Adler, the Austrian psychologist; Adler said “the solution to the world’s present problems lies in social interest: concerned relationships between people and groups”. Adler never rose to fame (in the west) - but he also didn't care about it. the book "The Courage to Be Disliked" is about Alfred Adler.

if you start tracking reps and weight, i guarantee you will loose interest fast. while tracking might certainly be useful for muscle building, gmb.io has a different approach and focuses on movements that are safe and help you in real life (mobilise wrist / shoulders, prevent back pain improve posture etc). A lot can be done without fancy equipment.

+1 for gmb.io - it's the only program(s) that i ever paid for - they are that clever. (i am athletic, walk my dog daily, have access to crossfit gyms etc). gmb.io "fills the gaps" of daily movement deficits and is for everyone.

We have three levels of "bullshit":

1. The liar: The insidious lie fulfills this criterion, because the liar wants to deceive and is sure of success. 2. The bullshitter: thinks "What I'm saying could be wrong? So what?" 3. The idiot: thinks, however, "What I say could also be wrong? It'll be true!" The idiot just talks like that, or he heard something and passed it on unchecked.

In digital media, bullshitters and idiots - as opposed to liars - are both perpetrators and victims.

All three (liars, bullshitters, idiots) sometimes accidentally tell the truth. But because it is always easier to miss the truth than to meet it, in most cases they increase bullshit of all kinds and thus act at the expense of the truth.

Bullshit only spreads on the internet if many people forward it. If we were all attentive, critical and informed, then this phenomenon would not exist.
