The research might also help us to avoid accidental faux pas when we act altruistically ourselves. At the very least, the research shows that you should avoid noisily broadcasting your good deeds. “And if people bring them up, you should downplay them,” says Raihani. Even if you think that you are simply sharing a bit of uplifting news about a cause that you care about, you should err on the side of modesty.
Reputation is the aggregation of ideas that have swarmed your body. Reputation is a list of your chronic afflictions.
The tyranny of ideas
As Raihani points out, we are constantly trying to second-guess the reasons for others’ actions – and we punish people harshly when we suspect that their motives are impure. Those instinctive suspicions may or may not be true, of course. We often base our judgements on intuition rather than hard facts.
Why overly kind and moral people can rub you up the wrong way
Generative art/design is any work created with an element of chance. We define some rules and allow a source of randomness to guide us to an outcome.

Ultimately, legitimacy derives from trust: trust that the governing order is just, trust that agents establishing and enforcing that order are doing so in the interest of the greater good.
To start with, the very abundance of digital data exacerbates the most fundamental constraint on information commerce—the limits of human comprehension.
Software costs nothing to copy, but someone still has to create it. The costs of development may approach zero as copies approach infinity, but there is still a very-non-zero amount of time and capital needed for activation energy.
When you communicate on mass media, whether it’s a 30 second spot on prime-time TV, a press ad in a National newspaper, or a 6 sheet in a city centre, you will reach a large number of those who are in your target market. But you will also reach a large number of those who are not.
Very often, this new behavior involves breaking the rules. Then, a winning strategy for founders is to build products that make these new models more accessible to a wider audience.

“Not until you start asking a question, do you get something.” We live in a “participatory universe,” Wheeler suggested, which emerges from the interplay of consciousness and physical reality, the subjective and objective realms.
On the other hand, life isn’t always hellish. We experience love, friendship, adventure and heartbreaking beauty. Could all this really come from random collisions of particles?
What God, Quantum Mechanics and Consciousness Have in Common
This is also where it pays to remember that your goal is not always to make the other person feel as comfortable as possible.
The value of the web is not embodied in its technology, so much as in the network of relationships that make up the ecosystem. Ecological networks take a long time to evolve, and can’t just be ported over.
Not all employees are interested in a ‘traditional’ growth plan (working up the ladder). Uncovering where employees want to develop, whether it’s taking on more responsibilities or moving into a different role, helps managers better create career development paths to get them there.

We jot notes, but we don’t publish much of what we write. The fire offers a tangible reminder of what we’re doing: creating white pages with black ink that will either outlive us or burn up into smoke.
If you still feel shame about an incorrect or poorly perceived contribution to a team meeting, it is time to stop dwelling on it. The remark might be holding you back, but it is likely that everyone else forgot about it months ago.
The news didn’t make your opinions more rational, it just made you more confident you were right. Rarely do we read things we disagree with. It’s much easier to just put our walls up and tune out.
Whatever the case, being aware of my level of interest and engagement helps me adjust my energy as the project moves from start to finish. The goal is to maintain equanimity through the project’s lifespan to achieve more even results.
Even professors who have incorporated directory structure into their courses suspect that they may be clinging to an approach that’s soon to be obsolete.

MMT proposes that we should understand money as something we use, rather than something we own. The government creates money, spends it into the economy for all of us to use in our daily lives, and mitigates the dangers of excess money or excess accumulation by pulling some of it back out, thus keeping things in balance.
The crux of emotional intelligence involves removing unhelpful emotional reactions from your interactions while simultaneously emphasizing helpful reactions and improving the clarity of your thinking.
People Who Embrace the ‘Z-Y-X Rule’ Have Very High Emotional Intelligence
Designers must become environmental activists as we are in a position by the choices we make to change our relationship to the natural world.

In a way, the biggest advantage I had was not knowing anything. Starting with a “blank slate” approach was extremely valuable, as many prior conceptions of how a virus operates did not necessarily apply in the case of this novel coronavirus.
What I believe has served me well is something that’s often overlooked when you think about being the “best” – being easy to work with.

Acknowledge your privilege, be compassionate (to others, and to yourself), and consciously do the best that you can to affect a positive result on any, and every, scale.
A snapshot of someone’s life on Instagram tells you nothing about that person’s actual life. That’s how we should treat all those things: As pure entertainment, not as inspiration for life.
Usually if I learned a concept a long time ago, it means that I’ve lost touch with what it’s like to learn it for the first time today. So running an explanation by a few people who don’t already know the concept helps to catch incorrect assumptions I’ve made.
Step one is to create space between emotion and action. It’s OK to have fear and trust issues. But it’s not OK to let them hold you back.
People who practice self-compassion treat themselves with kindness, care, and concern in the face of negative experiences.
