    This is a good example of the impact of micro copy when building community. The subtleties of word choice can attract or detract.

    I just finished going through an assignment with a student that failed and he kept apologising for failing and "taking up my time" and just..if you're a teacher, you need to let your students know that they are not burdens and deserve to take up space and time.

    I spend hours to choose a movie. The commitment of 1-3h feels too much But i happily binge multiple tv-show episodes. Maybe it's the fast pace due to episodic format, maybe something else Is there an equivalent for audiobooks (maybe books in general)?

    Scaling a company via code and contracts instead of via people mitigates the Principal-Agent problem. Scaling via community-generated code and content mitigates Hayek’s Local Knowledge problem.

    Reality is neutral. Our reactions reflect back and create our world. Judge, and feel separate and lonely. Anger, and lose peace of mind. Cling, and live in anxiety. Fantasize, and miss the present. Desire, and suffer until you have it. Heaven and hell are right here, right now.
