RNLI saves lives. Those seeking to perpetuate media culture wars off the back of this should be ashamed of themselves.
« People are looking for respect in the job that they are doing, and in the community they’re living in, and that’s much, much more dominant than the financial incentive » Nobel Laureate Esther Duflo Says nytimes.com/2021/05/11/us/es…
On the other hand It could be interesting to repeat this with topics other than self-help and find out how much of the blogosphere is full of meaningless waffle that can’t be distinguished from content generated by an #AI unable to understand meaning. #GPT3 #NLP

I would love to be in on the @Specsavers PR team Zoom call this morning. Someone just said, “I vote we do nothing at all and just sit back for 48hrs and let the memes roll in.” And they tossed their pen down with dramatic flourish. #DominicStays

According to this cubic model of the coronavirus pandemic, the dead will walk again starting on Sunday. By the end of the summer all the people who have ever lived will have returned to us. I know it's surprising but the fit is *excellent*.
Maybe worth revisiting the Swiss model? ... youtu.be/C3oBDj5a3VE
