* Trump victory and increased polarisation could be related to ego protection against humiliation from contemptuous libs

Basic pattern I thought I saw from Envy:

* Contempt is another taboo emotion that seemed increasingly prevalent among Libs ie. Basket of Deplorables etc
* It was identified by Gottman as one of the "Four Horseman" of marriage failure and people are v sensitive to signs of contempt

Yup I was wrong here - hope I'm right in the long run🤞🏻

Review: It wasn't my favourite video of hers. The videos are too damn long now 😵 I probably got too much of the content via the Tangents on her Patreon - can recommend those.

Hmmm so my family are mostly still on android.

Do you think it's still worth it?

oh no

I think there's also something about improving over time too.

Makes the initial effort worth it

But if you judge someone's intelligence based on their ability to speak your language then I don't think you have an accurate picture of the world 🤷🏻‍♀️

IMO it's somewhat rude to force a person to use your preferred method of communicating without a reasonable attempt to use theirs.

Even if you're bad at languages, attempting some local phrases when you're abroad on holiday goes a long way in building rapport.

I still think its useful to write up non-generalisable productivity advice. Especially if the general advice (ie. use a planner 🙄) didn't work for you

Economics, sociology and psychology are the descriptive sciences.

Management and marketing are the practice.

The problem is probably that the descriptive sciences don't act like they have anything to learn from practice

But if there's knowledge value that isn't being distributed that's bad.

It's a pretty big problem if the means of knowledge production and the means of mass distribution don't understand each other.

Business people gonna distribute any value they can

I'll be honest - I don't understand what this means
