  • Everybody’s broke, no one is immune to fomo, and It’s expensive to be poor. Corporations are the one’s aiming for the cheapest profits, they’re who landed on slavery and pollution as a means to cheaper profit. This isn’t a permission structure, it’s just what’s happening. Why have feelings toward your broke friend for getting some summer 'fits, instead of railing against the suppliers with the dangerous practices? Pshh… outta here with that personal responsibility > corporate accountability, fuckin grifters get more protection than the grifted






  • Fig 1 is a modified emotional change curve applied in learning and business settings. The term “Valley of Despair” is used in both concepts, and it’s cool, memorable verbiage, but it shouldn’t imply relation between Dunning-Kreuger and the change curve

    Image description: A modified emotional change curve from Evocon with Y-Axis being “attitude during change process” and X-Axis is time. There are 6 emotional phases described on this chart: 1. Neutral attitude, no knowledge; 2. Initial excitement, motivated; 3. Denial, indifferent, passive, apathy; 4. Resistance, frustration, doubt, anxiety (this phase falls below neutral and is described as “The Valley of Despair”); 5. Exploration, energized, small wins, creative; 6. Commitment, enthusiasm, problem solving, focus, team work.






  • Glad to see people watching NZ! So in Series 9 of UK Taskmaster, Rose Matafeo says that every Kiwi has a poster of New Zealands common fish hanging in their shed/out building. She brought one in for the episode 8 prize task “Best thing from a shed”. And then NZ Taskmaster has a fish poster in their outbuilding and the memorable live task: Memorise the names of the fish on the poster in the shed (S03E02).

    My question, American here, is this true? Do Kiwi’s have fish posters? Or is this a Taskmaster fiction NZ is happy to play along with?

    P.s. Paul is such a good Alex, he/taskmaster team come up with some of the best tasks.
