Reply to Archiving your mind, mentality and voice after death. Tell me how you feel about this. by Dimitar_Drew
Who’d care? Seriously, unless you were a famed artist or celebrity, nobody would care beyond a handful of really close loved ones, who (most likely) wouldn’t live too many years beyond you.

I'd love to see internal analyses by these companies to prove expensive SB ads have a proportional impact on sales.

Reply to [OC] Weekly Poll asking if the Stock Market will be Up or Down in 12 months plotted with the Future 12-month Outcome. by Square_Tea4916
When the market is down people think it will stay down. When the market is up people will think it'll stay up. Plot reality vs perception and I suspect that lag will be evident.

Came here to say this. Most folks still don’t realize this about earthquakes, the chart should take an opportunity to educate, not just inform.

I don’t see anything about heat dissipation, is that not a concern?

I am curious about the separation of work from non-work. It was already a struggle for some with the advent of VPN and cell phones, but now there's not even that geographic separation. Is it a problem? Is it no big deal? Time will tell.
For me, I have to put on shoes when I'm working, and take them off when I don't. It's a stupid thing, but it acts as that mental separation. (They're only Vans, not dress shoes, so they're not killing my feet or the carpet).

Then there’s the downstream ramifications on those cities. Will they live or die? Will they morph into residential cities instead of business centers?
It’s kinda like we’re entering the true Information Age, with as much of a sea change in demographics & culture as the Industrial Revolution did to agrarian societies.

I have been very curious about the long-term effects of work-from-home. Will it lead to further isolation and loneliness? Will that then give rise to even more radical agenda groups? Or will it lead to more happiness because of less stress and more home life? On the business side, will it stifle innovation and creativity, or will it lead to more breakthroughs?
It feels like we’re still experimenting with it. The grumpy old man in me thinks it will end up being a bad development, but I have enough self-awareness to see that’s a prejudice. Nevertheless, it is a radical change in how workplaces are organized, and it has a high likelihood of causing significant change.

Times change, technology marches on. Any job can be replaced, but new jobs arise. It’s the way things are.

Completely why getting info from YouTube or cable news can be a bad idea. They shove it into your eyeballs so you don’t have time to process it.
