@JukkaSavo Kontekstiksi: Joensuun sosiologian koulutustutkimus on bourdieulaista, eli löytää kyllä koululaitoksen luokkaistumista vaikka väkisin. Emeritus oli jopa Bourdieun oppilaana Ranskassa.

@SahilBloom I think Adam Grant discussed research showing that upper-middle-class people differ from others in how they talk about people behind their backs. More empathically I think.

Later in life I’ve seen this in action and agree. Even criticism can be said more empathically.

I’m convinced that the key to overcoming anything is to shrink the time horizon. Just focus on the next hour. Do one thing that moves you forward. One closed loop. One workout. One hard conversation. Whatever. Do that. Then do it again. Momentum is a byproduct of movement.

Time may be the most important recovery strategy of all ⏳

This new review and meta-analysis included 61 studies and 1,194 participants, comparing common post-exercise recovery methods across performance, biochemical and perceptual outcomes 🔍

Interventions included cold therapy, contrast therapy, heat, compression garments, blood-flow restriction, massage, active recovery and nutrition 🧊

Here are the key findings ⬇️

📈 Across all modalities, performance generally returned to baseline within ~72–120 h

😌 Perceptual outcomes such as soreness and perceived recovery also generally returned to baseline within ~72–120 h

🩸 Biochemical markers recovered more slowly and had not clearly returned to baseline by 120 h

↔️ Crucially, no recovery modality consistently outperformed doing nothing for performance, perceptual or biochemical recovery

❄️ Cold-water immersion was the most frequently studied intervention, but its effects were inconsistent across studies and outcomes

🩳 Compression, massage, BFR, heat, contrast therapy and active recovery similarly showed occasional benefits in individual studies without a consistent overall advantage

🍽️ 11 studies investigated nutrition, but substantial differences between interventions meant these could not be included in the meta-analysis

🥤 Carbohydrate/protein manipulation generally did not clearly accelerate measured recovery, although carbohydrate remains important for glycogen restoration and protein for muscle repair

🧃 Beetroot juice reduced soreness in one study, while grape-seed extract reduced CK; ketone monoesters showed no clear benefit

⚠️ At least half of crossover studies and more than half of independent-group studies had some concerns or high overall risk of bias

🧩 Individual studies sometimes showed meaningful effects, but pooled evidence suggests these benefits are not sufficiently consistent to identify a universally superior recovery method

For athletes, recovery tools can still be selected around preference, practicality, cost and context, but the strongest overall message is that adequate time between demanding sessions appears to matter more than any specific recovery modality ✅

@JaTakala @RistoMurto Työeläkejärjestelmän reaalinen tuotto on ollut noin 4 prosenttia vuodessa pitkällä aikavälillä, mutta noin kolmasosa ’sijoittajista’ saa negatiivista tuottoa maksamilleen maksuille elinkaarinäkökulmasta.

Imagine being given somewhere around 80 years on a planet floating through an incomprehensibly enormous universe, surrounded by billions of people you will never meet, mysteries you will never solve, places you will never see, and more knowledge than you could absorb in a thousand lifetimes...

and spending the whole damn thing worrying about money, arguing with strangers, impressing people you don't even like, and doing something you hate five days a week because somebody convinced you that was life.

I don't know, man.

I think we may have gotten a few things terribly wrong.

@drgurner I’d say that planning in action is more like navigation: you have a map in hand, but you continually adjust for headwinds and tailwinds—some more predictable than others—so that you are not caught off guard too easily.

James Clear on having high standards:

“Whatever you're doing, do it well. If you're writing a thank you note, take an extra minute to mention something beyond the typical thank you. If you're exercising, do each set as well as you can. If you're in conversation, really listen and don't just wait for your turn to talk.

Having high standards adds up. You can nearly always find an extra minute to do it better. And most important, you prove to yourself that you're the type of person who does things well!.”

@TeemuPekkanen @FatPjotr Akavallahan tällaista dataa ollut kauankin, mutta suhdanteita ja disruptiota 5-6 vuoden päähän ei osaa arvioida kukaan. Kannattaa lähinnä varmistaa, että motivaatiota riittää tekemään hommat loppuun ja tutkinnon sisällä on erilaisia kilpailuvaltteja.

@ToddZywicki @CoachDanGo Magnesium glycinate is usually about 86% glycine and 14% elemental magnesium by weight if it is the fully reacted bisglycinate form. Pretty easy to calculate from there.

[Jay Van Bavel, PhD @jayvanbavel]

Cognitive diversity in language, perspective, and reasoning is not only vital to human creativity and problem-solving but also carries rich personal and cultural information.

With the growing prevalence of LLMs across fields and in shaping communication, studies have found that they are influencing and homogenizing people’s language, perspectives, and reasoning.

"Advice I heard from a psychologist:

If you’re an anxious person, do everything for fun.

Submit your resume for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Start a newsletter for fun.

Anxiety feeds on importance. Don’t make everything a matter of life & death." – Diogo
