Officials are usually elected because the people trust them (yes von der Leyen indirectly elected, but that's besides the point here). In geopolitical decisions for example, the people can't and shouldn't be able to know everything.
Trust is a process, not a static state. In order to trust someone you don't personally know, you usually need some level of transparency. Perhaps not total (as you mention, there is genuine need for some secrecy in politics), but surely much higher than the required level of transparency of random citizens.
Unless you still believe in the american dream, I'm pretty sure we can agree that the increase in housing prices makes it exceedingly difficult for young people to buy a house without a significant inheritance.
Surely at some point the market will just regulate itself and amazon will have to improve working conditions to keep operations running... Right? Isn't that how capitalism is supposed to work?
Inquiry like this should be left to the people who experience it, and of course all they have is their personal experience and then opportunities to share their personal experience.
Do we really need some outside authority to tell us what we’re seeing and how to talk about it?
I will argue that you don't even need real world application. What I do find really important is motivation of a problem.
Before even talking about math, teachers just need to explain where the problem came from, who was thinking about it and why (if it's known specifically, like cardano's 3rd degree polynomials, even better).
If there's one thing that gets me (and by my own observation, the high school students I tutored) motivated, it's this by far.
Agreed, the motivation doesn't necessarily have to be an application, though that's probably one area worth emphasizing way more than it currently is, especially in secondary education—lower elementary, in particular, doesn't really have to struggle to communicate applications because counting and basic arithmetic are easy to find uses for.
I was very pro home-office (and even Anti-Office) before and during the pandemic. Now that restrictions are more or less gone, I'm glad to be working in the office again.
Being in the office for the first time in my career showed me that there are definitely upsides, especially when you get along with your team really well.
>> I'm glad to be working in the office again. / Being in the office for the first time.
I think the fact it's your first time has a big impact. Give it time. Any time I start a new job I enjoy being in the office for the first 6-12 months. Once it becomes routine (same commute, same lunch, same people) and you have learnt how to do your job (and rely on others less) it becomes much less attractive. I'm not saying you'd go full remote but I would bet you will go hybrid and transition further remote over time. This is what I've seen happen with all of my colleagues (including people I thought would jump straight back to the office post-pandemic).
> the CDC estimates that 1 in 5 will result in long COVID.
This scolding "I'm not sure exactly how, yet, but you'll be sorry!" any time anyone admits that they're no longer hiding inside & wiping down every banana with bleach is getting a little tired.
I usually get looked at like an alien when I tell people I repair my phone.
Here, it's usual to just get a new phone every year or two. Usually iPhones of course. As a student, I find it insane to spend 1k+ a year on smartphones.
So in 2018, I decided to buy the Pocophone F1 (360€ at the time) from Xiaomi, recently replaced the battery (15€) just before dropping my phone and cracking my display a few weeks later. I ordered a new screen on AliExpress the same day and it cost me 30€.
I'm planning on using this phone throughout my graduation for at least 2 more years before it'll eventually end up as a raspberry PI alternative for side projects (if it lives that long)
I see it like this: You spend a third of your life asleep. By not "utilizing" your dreams, you effectively waste that time.
dream recall is very easy to learn and even easier if you actively write down your dreams. From there on, it's not much further to start looking into lucid dreams, where you can take control, even over nightmares.
Facing my nightmares in my teens (even without being lucid) was very liberating.
Sure, but are those hours really wasted if they make you feel refreshed? Sleeping is very important in terms of long-term memory organization, health etc. I always felt that those life hacks of trying to learn new skills or solving difficult problems in your sleep were pretty short-sighted optimization attempts, since those hours are not "lost", but indeed very productive, only in ways we don't directly notice. I might reconsider if there is overwhelming evidence of the benefits of recalling dreams, until then I am very happy about what I've achieved in terms of getting restful sleep. In terms of lucid dreaming or facing distressing memories, I prefer doing those things in more controlled meditation or therapeutic hypnosis settings (for which we do have evidence that it works).
