Germany has a huge army of unemployed immigrants.
thro32··on Stoicism: Indifference is a power
>No wonder the Stoic sage, in Western culture, has never obtained the popularity of the Zen master.

Perhaps author should check history of Roman Empire and relation between stoicism and Christianity.

thro32··on Heavy Screen Time Rewires Young Mouse Brains, for Better and Worse
> "Many of those changes suggest that you have a brain that is wired up at a much more baseline excited level," Ramirez reported. "You need much more sensory stimulation to get [the brain's] attention."

I wonder what is control group on this study. Some rat closed in small sterile cage with zero stimulation. Of course rat from such environment needs less stimulation to get excited.

It would be valid to compare with rats from their natural environment with all the exciting smells, predators, food collecting...

Is there any chance that those "actual poor" people were not locals, but some rich college kids?
thro32··on A Black History Museum

For some reason it excludes Egypt, big part of South America and other African countries ;-)

It is about applying the same rules to everyone. Plus it is illegal in many countries.

And my group (I am from east europe) was target of 6 genocides/persecutions in past century. I feel threatened, to the point I turned down some job offers.

thro32··on Address to the American Psychological Association on Men (2007)
I feel time for such discussion has long time passed. The question today is not "are men good?" but "why should men bother?"

Traditional carrots used in history can not compete with modern forms of entertainment. In past it took major war to shake things down, but thats not possible today.

Feminism was great for liberating men. No more self-sacrifice, disposability, gallantry and marriage.
