People forgot how to be respectful during the lockdown. We spend so much time alone in a physical space while digitally intruding into other people’s private spaces through video calls.

Great read (as usual) by @joanwestenberg.eth
My mind wants to say that constraints are just goals with a “no” in it. At least that’s what I kept thinking while reading it. However, that would be too simple. It might be true on the surface but not on its impact.
Will have to keep thinking about it

Long term games are interesting idea but weirdly I’m not strategic enough to go for one. I’ve, unconsciously (?) picked a more random path with a PhD in social science (no patent, no industry to exit to). I like how Paul describes his path as stubborn middle term game that’s rests on doing something he enjoys. I can relate to that.
But also: I take a normal job to make more money, save it all, and then leave on a whim to go traveling

Excellent explanation of how to go from task monkey to owning your problems and turning into a super employee.
It also includes tips for how ai can help you but I find the first section way stronger

Third spaces aren’t curated to your preferences. They are “curated” a bit in that there is a vibe set by regulars. But that’s it.
I third spaces you can’t have a black and white thinking. Social skills are required.
