Is probably extremely boring - I have never had more fun than when solving problems, life without working on something interesting sounds insufferable to me
How long would I be able to sit on Maui sipping Mai-Tais? Getting massages, ... and more ... whatever I want, whenever I want it ... that is a curse actually.
Surrounded by fake people everyone wanting a piece of the wealth trickle down to them.
On a personal experience, I was a lot happier when I bought my first house, a rundown estate that was the cheapest on the street that then I had to work to improve upon it, ended up replacing most inside and out, some parts I learned to do myself - I ended up remodeling it piecemeal but so, so satisfying
My second house is very respectable, newer, larger, technically incomparably better, it is not even the same ballpark ... yet my new house never provided me with the same joy.
Millions of dollars flow to an organization headed by a convicted fraudster ... rest assured there are much more efficient ways to divert those funds than workshops
So it is not as much "interesting" but "illuminating" that supposedly smart people like scientists can be just as easily mislead as the random person responding to an email scam.
How would you know how the millions of dollars sent to the organization are being spent?
For starters he is impersonating another director of the organization - right there probably pulling in two leadership salaries for a start. How many other fake employees are there?
Then he is most likely the sole decider on how that money is spent ... the article shows that he is a convicted grifter that spent time in jail for fleecing people ...
how about the current era, where every human generates thousands of photos per year ... is that a history worth remembering and will it help where we've come from?
I am not saying to not study history, I am saying storing everything is probably worse than storing half of it.
> Also it's a weird idea that we should forget things so that someone later can feel special when they do it again. Really weird.
What would you think of a service, that when you take a photograph that is beautiful, unique and moving for you and say you want to share it with someone else - would pop in and would should an image just like it - only a better with some additional elements that make it even more breathtaking - taken by someone else and would recommend you to send that
Imagine that Mona Lisa was lost shortly after its creation ... do you think we would not have something else like Mona Lisa in its place?
Society created the value of Mona Lisa out of nothing. It is not such a unique thing - there are tens of thousands of paintings that could be just as valuable.
Is it really a big deal that some really old movies are lost ... sorry but I just don't see why ...
I wish lots of content disappeared - in the past the passage of time was a way to filter for quality, because we only bothered to preserve something worth preserving.
Forgetting is also a gift - it is is foolish to think that you have to preserve everything.
I think it is a much bigger problem that too much of today's photos and videos are preserved.
Every phenomenal photo of a sunset takes away the future generation's credit when recreating an identically phenomenal sunset.
The current archival processes are something so radically new, we don't yet understand how it shapes society.
It is bullshit because it only works in theory, the big refrigerator will crush the tiny fly ... in reality the fly escapes with ease
the bullshit part refers to just that, pretending that the refrigerator could be an appropriate good solution, when in fact can't actually even perform the task
I read the post, it seems someone cancelled a meeting and the candidate got a little antsy, then started using a type of language that scared off the employer.
Nothing in the posts seems extremely outrageous to me, they could have been nicer to him ... but let's be serious.
As a matter of fact, after reading the post I would not hire this candidate either - to be honest. Something feels very odd -like essential information has been left out.
He seems like someone that thinks very highly of themselves, always a bad sign.

Be careful what you wish for.
