"The discrepancy between how smart we think cynics are and how competent they actually are is what Stavrova coined the 'cynical genius illusion.'"

washingtonpost.com

Cynical people are often seen as smarter. Here’s why that might not be true.

The idea of "hopeful skepticism" means approaching the world as a scientist, not as a lawyer.

"With the midterm elections only weeks away, I have even more questions. Has Moscow offered Trump something in return? Have there been conversations or agreements we don’t know about? Is Russia preparing more election attacks, and could any of this be connected?"

Why Is Trump Suddenly Making So Many Moves to Help Putin in Ukraine?

Trump’s ties to Russia go back many, many decades, and his willingness to side with Russia is hardly new.

The library has rather incompetent staff that decided their incompetence should be hidden via reporting a 10 years old child and their family to social services because the child borrowed a dark romance book. A librarian has a lot of responsibility in what a child can borrow. So does a library.

In Sweden, a center party that won 7% of the vote is holding negotiations over the formation of a new government hostage, via demonising the Left Party, which by now is more center-left than left, calling them extremist and almost putting them in the same basket as the far-right. That's immature.

It is a bit on the nose that a good chunk of populist dictators who managed to attract the poor and vulnerable on their side came from wealth and did everything to acquire even more wealth once in power, while not keeping a single promise they made to make the life of the poor and vulnerable better.

My poor health has been mostly a sort of roller coaster, mostly an avalanche of exhaustion, pain and fever, but with some very brief moments of calm, that allowed me to breathe between the bad episodes. As it looks now, my very brief moments of calm are not a thing anymore. This is scary.

Shouldn't a hospital be the place where you go to get healthy, not catch a flurry of pathogens and risk severe illness and even death? Given that Covid-19 is circulating now, they can literally screen patients for it. It isn't expensive anymore. And it saves money to prevent infections in patients.

When you're too exhausted for an interaction, it doesn't mean you are "depressed". It just means that you have a couple of chronic illnesses that result in exhaustion and you will interact when you will have some energy for it. Most exhaustion has absolutely nothing to do with depression.

Given current attempts to dediagnose conditions that tend to overwhelmingly happen in women & girls, we haven't evolved from medical misogyny and the nonsense that is BPS model (new version of hysteria, broadly).

It's difficult to watch police dissmissiveness + borderline incompetence and not think that, if the perpetrator had not been ethnically Swedish, there would have been an adequate inquest.
