@Dogetothemoon @elonmusk It's sadly a misquote. Lewis himself was not so fond of children around him.

@throeng @welt Korrektur: ".... nicht identisch."

@throeng @welt (Junge) Frauen verdienen so lange mehr, bis sie Kinder bekommen.
Hier müsste angesetzt werden.

Man könnte meinen, Geld sei für Frauen im Leben nicht alles und es gibt wichtigeres als nur Karriere und beruflichen Erfolg.
Die Präferenzen der Geschlechter sind eben sind identisch.

@leinad_luelp Wer die Wahrheit spricht hat es dieser Tage wieder enorm schwer. Früher wurde man als Ketzer oder Hexe verbrannt, heute gecancelt.
Gut, dass manche trotzdem nicht den Mut verloren haben.

@_homoduplex Gibt mittlerweile auch Studien, die mit dem Mythos des faulen Mannes / Vaters aufräumen - dabei kam sogar heraus, dass Männer im Haushalt oft mehr tun als die Partnerin - s. z.B. https://t.co/ynAA7b9Z6E

@Kansalaisen @allesevolution Wenn Elon nichts wirklich großartiges geleistet hat und im Grunde nur ein Durchschnittsmensch ohne besonderes Talent ist, dann wäre es doch einfacher, es ihm einfach gleich zu tun: Eigene Firma gründen und reich werden, anstatt "nur" für Tesla etc. zu arbeiten.

Von den 6,2 Mio. € an "Zuschüssen" die 2022 an @AmadeuAntonio geflossen sind gingen fast 6 Mio. € nur für die Personalkosten drauf.

Projekte wurde gerade mal mit 1 Mio. € gefördert.

In welchem Universum dient so etwas der "Zivilgesellschaft"?

@DataMeijer @Steve_Sailer Does that mean that racism is the only viable explanation for those numbers, as the NYT seems to suggest?

@FrankNBraun @SabineNuss Deine Frage ist zu konkret und wird daher nicht beantwortet werden, leider.
Auch fehlen natürlich Argumente, denn tatsächlich ist es historisch nur wirtschlaftlich freien Ländern gelungen, Massenwohlstand zu schaffen - aka Kapitalismus

@_homoduplex Zu dem Video gab es ja schon die eine oder andere Reaktion auf Youtube, alle mit ähnlichem Fazit.
Was ich an diesem Video aber gut fand, war die gründliche und umfassende Aufarbeitung und Herleitung der Kritik. Also eine wirklich wissenschaftliche Herangehensweise. Respekt dafür!

Seriously considered buying a new laptop today because my python environment is completely broken.

I tried uninstalling everything python-related and...couldn't.

I've been programming for 25 years.

This is so sad.

"Let's do startups" - Germany edition

But first... some paperwork:

1. Put aside €25,000 for company formation
2. Find a notary to draft articles of incorporation (1-2 weeks)
3. Open bank account (4-6 weeks)
4. Deposit share capital and send to notary
5. Entry into commercial registry
6. Ignore official looking scam letters asking for money
7. Entry into transparency register
8. Register with local trade office
9. Register with tax office
10. Wait for your company's VAT ID
11. You need an official address (don't use your home, can't use PO box), so rent virtual office
12. Buy company insurance
13. Buy accounting software
14. Set up payroll (you have to employ yourself as manager)
15. Pay for on-going accounting costs (€2-3k a year)
16. Prepare monthly, quarterly and yearly taxes
17. Make sure you have a GDPR-compliant privacy policy, and DPAs with all service providers
18. Make sure you have a compliant legal notice on your website and emails, or risk getting a €50,000 fine
19. Make sure your invoices are actually compliant with regulations
20. Don't ever move out of Germany while owning the company, or else go bankrupt due to the exit-tax with no liquidity problem

Now you may invoice your first customer - if you dare ;)

(obviously not legal/tax advice, this is satire)

The concept of civilization is often associated with various tangible artifacts and advancements, such as tools, architecture, or systems of governance. However, anthropologist Margaret Mead presented a different perspective when she was asked about the first sign of civilization in a culture. Rather than focusing on material objects, she emphasized the significance of a healed femur bone.

In Mead's view, the animal kingdom provides a stark contrast to human civilization. When an animal breaks its leg, survival becomes nearly impossible. The inability to escape from danger, access water, or procure food renders the injured animal vulnerable to predators. Consequently, no animal lives long enough for a broken leg to heal naturally. Thus, the healing of a femur bone is a profound indication of civilization.

Why is a healed femur bone considered the first sign of civilization? Mead's explanation lies in the collective care and empathy demonstrated by a community. When someone breaks their leg, it is a moment of extreme vulnerability and danger. However, if the injured individual receives aid and support from others, they can overcome this critical period.

The act of caring for someone with a broken leg requires time, compassion, and a sense of responsibility towards others. Mead suggests that the healing process involves multiple steps. First, someone must have witnessed the accident and recognized the injured person's distress. Then, they would have provided immediate assistance, possibly by binding the wound and ensuring the person's safety. Finally, they would have stayed by their side, offering ongoing care and support during the recovery period.

By highlighting the significance of collective care, Mead emphasizes that civilization begins with the recognition of the suffering of others and the willingness to help. It is through acts of compassion and support that a community establishes its foundations of empathy, cooperation, and social cohesion. The healing of a broken femur, symbolizing the survival and recovery of an individual within a community, reflects the values and actions that underpin a civilized society.

Mead's perspective challenges the notion that civilization is solely determined by material progress or technological advancements. While such developments are undoubtedly important, they are built upon a deeper foundation of human connection and mutual aid. The healing of a broken femur bone serves as a metaphor for the care and support that individuals provide to one another, promoting the well-being and progress of society as a whole.

In conclusion, Margaret Mead's unconventional response to the question about the first sign of civilization reminds us of the fundamental importance of collective care. Civilization, she argues, is not solely defined by tangible artifacts or structures but by the empathy and support extended to those in need. The healing of a broken femur bone represents the compassion and responsibility that underpin a civilized society, highlighting the significance of human connection and mutual aid in fostering progress and well-being.
