@inimitablepgw “At the age of eleven or thereabouts women acquire a poise and an ability to handle difficult situations which a man, if he is lucky, manages to achieve somewhere in the later seventies.”
Everyone who extracts value which can be quantified is overpaid. Everyone who creates value that can't be quantified is underpaid. There are very few exceptions.
In 1290 all Jews were driven out of England. In 1306 they were expelled from France. In 1430 exiled from Germany, followed by Spain and Portugal. Boycotted in Italy, and time after time tossed out of every major European city.
After the centuries of expulsions, in 1492, Muslims (The Ottoman Empire) opened their doors for the Jewish. in the late 17th and 18th centuries, as the Ottoman Empire became less stable, Jews were finally allowed back into England after 366 years of total banishment.
After 1848, hundreds of thousands of Jews left Central Europe to escape rising nationalism and "pogroms" (anti-Jewish riots).
After WWI, Britain took control of Palestine from the Ottomans. From 1917 to 1939, Muslims (Palestine) opened their doors for the Jewish as usual.
In 2026, some Western politicians lecturing us (Muslims) on how to live peacefully with Jews!
Read some history.
@levelsio Best defo of happiness for me came from Dr. Conti at the HubLab:
Happiness = outcome emerging from:
- Agency (active engagement with the world)
- Gratitude (active appreciation)
- Generative drive (the drive within us that makes us curious and creative)
Amazing episode btw
There are stuff in real life that cannot be transmitted in books and stuff in books you can never pick up in real life.
The disease is the inclination to learn from books what you must learn in real life and attempts to reinvent from experience what can only be found in books.
