Sull'importanza dell'ottimismo
Money quote: "Optimism is our instinct to inhale while suffocating. Our need to declare what “needs to be” in the face of what is. Optimism is not uncool; it is rebellious and daring and vital."

The Most Radical and Rebellious Choice You Can Make Is to Be Optimistic

Se anziché cercare di fare gli imprenditori della nostra vita, per una volta cercassimo di essere scienziati della nostra esistenza?
Money quote: "When a scientist runs an experiment, there are all sorts of results that could happen. Some results are positive and some are negative, but all of them are data points. Each result is a piece of data that can ultimately lead to an answer.
And that’s exactly how a scientist treats failure: as another data point."

Gli americani con Joe Biden stanno entrando una fase di crisi piuttosto intensa e carsica. Rimettono in discussione molto cose perché Donald Trump era talmente sopra le righe da coprire il vero problema. Che non era lui ma il mondo che cambia radicalmente.
Adesso gli americani, dopo averlo criticato per decenni, si chiedono: e se avessero ragione i francesi?
Money quote: "“Buy Taiwan, hold Italy, sell France” advised Thomas Friedman in The Lexus and the Olive Tree, his 1999 paean to liberal globalisation. Around the time of the Iraq War, the French were dismissed as “Old Europe” by Donald Rumsfeld, then the US secretary of defence, and “cheese eating surrender monkeys” elsewhere. “If the French social model is so great, why is the country in flames?” sighed Peter Mandelson in 2005 as riots gripped Parisian suburbs."

Il lato oscuro della Mela: una vecchia storia di Bloomberg ancora attuale (forse)
Money quote: "This building is as bland as the main Apple campus is striking. From the outside, there appears to be a reception area, but it’s unstaffed, which makes sense given that people working in this satellite office—mostly employees of Apple contractors working on Apple Maps—use the back door. Workers say managers instructed them to walk several blocks away before calling for a ride home. Several people who worked here say it’s widely referred to within Apple as a “black site,” as in a covert ops facility."

The 20th-century political philosopher Isaiah Berlin (1909-97) thought that the answer to both these questions was ‘Yes’, and in his essay ‘Two Concepts of Liberty’ (1958) he distinguished two kinds of freedom (or liberty; Berlin used the words interchangeably), which he called negative freedom and positive freedom."

Sono stupito perché non solo ho trovato interessante ma anche sinceramente utile questo articolo su Medium che si presenta malissimo: ti insegno come si fanno le fotografie. Ebbene, c'è molto senso e buon senso, anche. L'estratto che segue mi piace perché parla di film, ma non è assolutamente lo spirito dell'articolo, che va molto oltre e riguarda il mondo moderno del digitale, per intederci.
Money quote: "With a film camera, you have only so many shots per roll, they each cost money to develop and scan. And that, right off the bat, makes you far more purposeful in your approach. The affect is a more trained and disciplined way of shooting; one born of necessity. It’s a creative imperative that is all but destroyed by the convenience of digital. And nobody needs this more than the beginner or intermediate photographer. You need to know the agony of paying $40 for 36 images, none of which are very good. It seems like something that digital photography saves us from, but in fact it only serves to spoil us and atrophies the creative drive born of the nature of competition, with ourselves and our surroundings — a biologically-reasonable set of attributes that make us inventive creatures who find inspiration in challenge. Film shooting is like a natural stimulant to creative growth in photography."

Felicità. Parola e concetto difficile da definire perché, come scrive il sociologo Arthur Brooks su Internazionale, cambia a seconda delle sensibilità di ognuno, della cultura e del paese in cui viviamo.
Tuttavia sulla base di alcuni studi, secondo Brooks, è possibile distinguere almeno 4 "modelli di felicità" che corrispondono ad altrettanti modelli geografici e culturali:
1. La felicità viene dall’avere delle ottime relazioni con le persone a cui teniamo. È una combinazione di focus esteriore e relazionale; in questo caso le amicizie e la famiglia sono le principali fonti di felicità.
Gli Stati Uniti sono un buon esempio di paese che corrisponde a questo modello.
2. La felicità deriva da un alto grado di consapevolezza. Questo modello si basa sulla combinazione del focus interiore e di quello basato sulle relazioni interpersonali ed è il modello che corrisponde alle persone con un’indole fortemente spirituale, filosofica o religiosa, soprattutto a chi dà un’alta importanza alla vita di comunità.
L’India risulta la terra di appartenenza di molte persone che seguono questo modello.
3. La felicità consiste nel fare ciò che si ama, spesso insieme agli altri. Questa linea di pensiero si coniuga alla tendenza a vivere dandosi degli obiettivi.
Si possono trovare molte persone che si riconoscono in questo modello soprattutto nei paesi nordici e nel centro Europa.
4. La felicità deriva semplicemente dallo stare bene. In questo modello si assiste a una combinazione di focus interiore e di obiettivi. È il modello delle persone che danno la priorità assoluta alle esperienze da cui possono ricavare sensazioni positive, che siano esperienze fatte in solitaria o insieme ad altre persone.
Questo è il modello più diffuso nel Sudamerica, nell’area mediterranea e in Sud Africa.
Sarà un caso ma io mi riconosco di più nel modello 4 e voi? Cos’è per voi la felicità?

Scaviamo dietro all'ideologia dell'urbanesimo ipertecnologico contemporaneo. C'è una profonda, tremenda distorsione che passa attraverso gli ultimi trent'anni. E fa probabilmente prendere fischi per fiaschi. Ad esempio, parliamo di SimCity...
Money quote: "Despite all this attention, few writers looked closely at the work which sparked Wright’s interest in urban simulation in the first place. Largely forgotten now, Jay Forrester’s Urban Dynamics put forth the controversial claim that the overwhelming majority of American urban policy was not only misguided but that these policies aggravated the very problems that they were intended to solve. In place of Great Society-style welfare programs, Forrester argued that cities should take a less interventionist approach to the problems of urban poverty and blight, and instead encourage revitalization indirectly through incentives for businesses and for the professional class. Forrester’s message proved popular among conservative and libertarian writers, Nixon Administration officials, and other critics of the Great Society for its hands-off approach to urban policy. This outlook, supposedly backed up by computer models, remains highly influential among establishment pundits and policymakers today."

Negli Usa c'è parecchio dibattito sul tema dell'allattamento al seno, considerato molto più sano ed igienico di quello con latte artificiale: risulta che le donne di colore sono meno educate e usano il latte artificiale più spesso, mentre l'allattamento al seno avrebbe numerosi vantaggi, inclusa la riduzione dei tassi di obesità che sono molto più alti nella popolazione di colore.
Money quote: "What is surprising is one of the solutions the Department of Health offered to combat obesity: promoting breastfeeding among Black women. Ameliorating the racial breastfeeding gap, the report found, would increase breastfeeding rates and decrease obesity. Breastfeeding would help postpartum Black women lose weight and instruct Black infants on how to develop healthier relationships to satiety. New York’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program had been offering enhanced food packages for exclusively breastfeeding mothers since 1994, but was newly ordered to create “breastfeeding-friendly environments,” physical spaces that would promote breastfeeding."

Storia di gente che si stufa di Amazon, li fa secchi e vende direttamente con i piccoli negozi indipendenti. Succede anche questo. Storia lunga e che parla di biciclette (e delle loro componenti) ma molto interessante.
Money quote: "The COVID-19 pandemic affected supply chains everywhere. By the end of March 2020, there was a global shortage of bikes and bike parts, while demand surged. Most bike manufacturing is based in Asia, and as the pandemic wore on, PNW parts that used to take 45 days to ship from Taiwan took up to 200 days to arrive. By the start of 2021, Kerson heard of bike shops on the brink of closing down due to such high demand and low inventory. Pulling his products from Amazon, he thought, could help those independent bike shops — and rid PNW of an ongoing frustration.
Amazon had been posing serious customer service problems for PNW. Shopping for bike parts is complex, Kerson says, because choosing the right item depends on specifics about the customer and their bike. Amazon offers no way to provide that kind of expertise, so the rate of returns is high."

L'America si è svegliata, stamani, e si sta scoprendo di nuovo Puritana
Money quote: "In America, of course, we don’t have that kind of state coercion. There are currently no laws that shape what academics or journalists can say; there is no government censor, no ruling-party censor. But fear of the internet mob, the office mob, or the peer-group mob is producing some similar outcomes. How many American manuscripts now remain in desk drawers—or unwritten altogether—because their authors fear a similarly arbitrary judgment? How much intellectual life is now stifled because of fear of what a poorly worded comment would look like if taken out of context and spread on Twitter?"

Ogni Pnrr è diverso: mentre la Germania ha optato per il consolidamento della finanza pubblica, l’Italia ha puntato tutto sulla speranza che investimenti e riforme abbiano un effetto positivo duraturo sulla crescita. Indovinate chi è la formica e chi la cicala?
Money quote: "L’Italia ha presentato un piano per 191,5 miliardi di euro – circa il 7,4 per cento del Pil – di cui 68,9 miliardi in trasferimenti e 122,6 in prestiti, che include 142 progetti di investimento e 87 riforme. A questi si aggiungono circa 13 miliardi provenienti dal programma React-EU e 30 miliardi che il governo Draghi ha messo a disposizione attraverso la creazione di un Fondo complementare, portando così il piano di rilancio italiano a circa 233 miliardi.
Il piano della Germania è molto più modesto. Ammonta a 25,6 miliardi di euro – circa 0,7 per cento del Pil (un decimo del valore per l’Italia) – basandosi solo su trasferimenti e include 40 progetti di investimenti e 27 riforme. Al netto delle dimensioni dei due piani, che riflettono le differenti condizioni macroeconomiche dei due paesi prima della crisi e l’impatto della medesima su occupazione e Pil – la prima sostanziale differenza tra i due Pnrr emerge guardando alla cronologia indicata per il completamento di riforme e progetti di investimento."

Come utilizzano i fondi del Pnrr Germania e Italia? Berlino ha scelto il consolidamento della finanza pubblica. Roma invece scommette su un complesso di riforme e investimenti, che dovrebbe produrre un impatto positivo e persistente sulla crescita del Pil.
Non c'è solo un tema di esclusione dai media per quanto riguarda le persone di colore, ma anche di tonalità. Le femmine tendono ad essere "nero chiaro", mentre i maschi sono "nero scuro". E questo pone accenti discriminatori ulteriori. Una riflessione molto interessante.
Money quote: "All three of the Black actresses starring in Gossip Girl are light-skinned — the kind of Black this industry consistently deems worthy of lead roles. When it comes to this exhausting issue, Black women and teen girls get the worst of it. Oftentimes when you do see dark-skinned characters in desirable roles (or at all), it is Black men and boys. This has bolstered the notion that darker skin is equated to masculinity and lighter skin to femininity"
