Living your best life and aiming for personal growth while taking into account that context matters. Unapologetically Dutch perspective on anything that matters

The big question of our time: will machines make us more human or will machines make us more like machines?

(2/2) I.e. if you have a healthier body fat % than the average person, you might be better off building more muscles.

There is often no one size fits all. If you want to improve yourself and move more towards the top 1% in your field, the anecdote sometimes trumps the average.

[Dutch Institute for Extraordinary Living @Dutchraordinary]

(1/2) Scientific research is great, but since it is about averages, there are limitations.

E.g. when we talk about the benefits of fasting for your health, most gains are made by people who are metabolically less healthy than you are.

AI-Inception!

I am using ChatGPT to help me create a lesson for the Business Management Class that I teach tomorrow, based on the recent events with the firing of Sam Altman, and the letter of 500 employees asking the OpenAI Board to resign.

Dit is precies wat ik al meer dan 'n jaar in tweets probeer duidelijk te maken.

We moeten stoppen met het massaal vaccineren. Een mix van gevaccineerde risicogroepen en ongevaccineerden beperkt de strenge selectie op de antilichaamresistente varianten. https://t.co/XgbdysmSW8

Stop! Tot hier en niet verder!

Een QR-samenleving zorgt voor een gevaarlijke schijnveiligheid waarmee we juist de kwetsbare mensen niet beschermen.

Er zijn andere oplossingen en wegen om uit deze crisis te komen: https://t.co/WnrZm4s3Hl

@jpaternotte Lijkt niet heel veel te veranderen aan de death rate boven de 80% vaccinatiegraad. Proportionaliteit; liberale D66 waarden opofferen voor een paar % extra gevaccineerden in de leeftijdsgroepen die überhaupt een lage kans hebben om in het ziekenhuis te komen?

6. In maart 2020 1400 IC patiënten = bijna #codezwart. (zie bericht 👇)
In maart 2021 800 IC patiënten = bijna #codezwart.
In november 2021 300 IC patiënten = bijna #codezwart.
Hoe kan dit? Is dit nu een coronaprobleem of een zorgprobleem? https://t.co/FZA2JSGvmj

In een gezonde, functionerende democratie controleren de media de macht.
In een totalitair regime helpen de media om dissidenten en oppositie te bestrijden. #BaudetHeeftGelijk

Hoestend en kuchend wakker worden als gevaccineerde en dan met je groene vinkje alsnog de wijde wereld besmetten. #2G is niet discrimenerend tegen mensen die zich op Grondwet art. 7. (Lichamelijke Soevereiniteit) willen beroepen, maar ook nog eens absurd. Quote van #Marcellevi

[Roelofsen 🇳🇱🇮🇱 @Hertog15]

@marcelbar8 Marcel Levi ook gezien Marcel?
Wat een verademing..
Of is de heer Levi nu ook een wappie?

Even though I strongly disagree with the current #lockdownwnl, it does provide a great opportunity to practice a lot of calisthenics and play guitar.

Even if you disagree with the measures, see which doors it opens for you. #viruswaanzin #coronamaatregelen

[Dutch Institute for Extraordinary Living @Dutchraordinary]

Gyms closed, liquor stores considered "essential business". Better to get drunk alone than to stay in shape with friends.

This #Dutchlockdown makes so much sense.

@rankoberich I can see you miss me already Ranko, but that's OK ;)

Seems like you're having all the fun with EURUSD dipping below 1.10 and of course the UK's Amazing Brexit Circus always able to surprise us with a new show :)

[Ranko Berich @rankoberich]

I gaze endlessly into the abyss of the human soul's capacity for fear, greed and self delusion. In so doing I pretend that our behavior in the context of a financial market is comprehensible and predictable on a consistent basis. We call it "FX strategy"

#ERG will not even back WA if only backstop is removed, which would make a majority for such a deal uncertain at best.

The EU, making a major public concession, losing credibility, betraying Ireland? Unlikely.

Deadlock deepens, no-deal or GE unavoidable, #GBP volatility up

[Dutch Institute for Extraordinary Living @Dutchraordinary]

Even Twitter seems to be confused by the #prorogation of the Parliament.

So am I, admittedly, as the #Bojo's move increases the chance of a no-deal Brexit, but also of a GE.

#Sterling volatility is the only thing that seems guaranteed for now.
