Getting cheesed off that chatGPT won't actually do anything, but continually adds nitpicking questions, iterates the process, and just forgets what was agreed 5 minutes ago.
@RogerHallamCS21@jembendell I guess you could wait until you're on camera to make the pitch. It would be interesting to get you on the airwaves instead of blocking yourself at the researcher/booker stage.
THE QUESTION NOBODY WANTS TO ANSWER
Something curious is happening in Westminster.
Keir Starmer lists achievements that critics said were impossible.
The economy stabilising.
Waiting lists falling.
Migration coming down.
Britain rebuilding relationships abroad.
Yet the conversation is not about whether those achievements matter.
It is about who should inherit them.
That should give us pause.
Because there are two very different arguments.
One says Starmer has failed.
The other says Burnham won a by-election.
Those are not the same thing.
One is a verdict on government.
The other is an opportunity spotted by ambitious people.
And perhaps the greatest irony of all is this:
The louder the talk of a "calm", "dignified" and "consensual" handover becomes, the less it sounds like unity and the more it sounds like power.
Politics is full of people who want the crown.
Britain needs people willing to carry the burden.
Keir Starmer inherited a country that was broken.
He rebuilt the party.
He won the mandate.
Now he is doing the difficult work of rebuilding the nation.
That is not a reason to replace him.
It is a reason to let him finish the job.

@vacayajo@nickcammarata Not really. I'm a lazy meditator and a poor role model :)
I did a couple of 10-days where I maxxed concentration and vipassanna/momentariness/energetics. Then ~2hrs/day but really intense. Get super-concentrated (lite j4) and look for 3Cs. YMMV!
@ShaneFrakes Binaural beats can be interesting. I did the full Holosync years ago. But ultimately they provide a ceiling. That is, they can't provide the same depth/subtlety that other practices can.
The single most under-rated thing a UK man can do for himself in his thirties is a 3-day solo trip to a city he's never been to, twice a year.
It doesn't have to be expensive. A Β£40 train to Edinburgh in February, an Β£80 Ryanair flight to Porto in October, a Β£25/night hostel, a notebook in your jacket pocket. Total cost under Β£400 for both trips.
The problem-solving part of your brain runs on routine in your hometown. Take it somewhere unfamiliar for 72 hours and it wakes up. Every decision you've been turning over for 6 months gets answered on a 4-hour walk through a city where nobody knows your name.
The men I know in their forties who quietly built the lives they wanted all do this. The men still stuck in the same job and the same head-noise at 38 mostly don't.
