How millennials replaced religion with astrology and crystals

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 19 hours ago
In fairness, religion as always constituted, organizes a teaching hierarchy to provide knowledge and access to those with better skills in spirituality. The real problem is that what this all means is usually left unsaid. Every one needs to learn how to meditate. Practice will train your brain to quiet and control the 'inner voice' and you will enter the theta state and typically see colors. So far so good. Prayer or mantras serve to block the inner voice through repetition. Observe how completely personal all this happens to be. Another method of meditation is contemplativ... more »

Generalise, don't specialise: why focusing too narrowly is bad for us

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 19 hours ago
I am no particular fan of so called specialization. Certainly it is valuable in time and place in sports, but then for a short spell. We all know that you hit your prime in your early thirties and then you are an accident waiting to happen. In other fields you can be obsolete in a second. It is as important to be able to go sideways and to reinvent yourself. And yes, you do forget all that past expertise. or at least you simplify it and this becomes counterproductive. Thus a brain surgeon loses the edge needed fro abdominal surgery. *Generalise, don't specialise: why focus... more »

Learning Is a Learned Behavior. Here’s How to Get Better at It.

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 19 hours ago
This is a terribly useful insight. We all need to think about learning itself as a learnable process. Certainly, i have worked with individuals who were mentally slow, yet still able to progress through the educational system. Often it took an extraordinary effort on their part. What is certain though is that they did learn vhow to learn. In short, the real threshold is actually low. thus we usefully capture most as productive citizens. The bar is low there as well. We can all gainfully pick fruit and vegetables and hoe out weeds. Been useful in an office is possibly more ... more »

Bombs VS Bridges – How Two Empires Are Competing For Their Version Of The New World Order

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 19 hours ago
This is a wonderful framework for a lot of misinformation. Keep that in mind as you work your way through. This author is deeply biased against any form of actual ownership and implied direction. and ignores the real history of clear countermeasures. So much of both Western and Chinese capital deployment in other states is deeply corrupt to start with and once that burden is shaken off, you still must make the asset pay. Owning a clearly uneconomic port in Sri Lanka is a bad joke. There is no doubt that the CCP is making a whole range of global capital deployments that reflec... more »

By the early 1960s in fact, new Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAMs) threatened the survivability of high-speed, high-altitude bombers, while less costly, nuclear-armed ICBMs (Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles) were also entering service.
