the thing that gets me about this attitude is that I've had someone do something like this to me, and after a while I just gave up and stopped asking - and made a mental note not to work with that person anymore.

mistaking cynicism for critical thought is one big reason why we’re where we are I think

Mark Zuckerberg Insists Anyone With Same Skewed Values And Unrelenting Thirst For Power Could Have Made Same Mistakes MENLO PARK, CA—In an effort to dismiss widespread criticism, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly insisted Thursday that anyone with the same skewed values and tenacious thirst for power could have made the same mistakes he did. “I know I screwed up, and I understand why you’re all upset, but if you were a morally corrupt megalomaniac hell-bent on manipulating society to your twisted whims, you would have done the exact same thing,” said Zuckerberg, suggesting that people should put themselves in the shoes of a self-absorbed asshole with a warped perception of humanity who justified the exploitation of personal connections as a means of amassing unfettered influence and profits to truly comprehend why he made every completely fucked-up decision. “Listen, any cruel and sadistic piece of shit in my position would willingly cheapen the human experience into a series of superficial interactions to further their own tainted legacy.” At press time, Zuckerberg expressed hope that people would take the time to consider his distorted, malicious perspective.

- essentially, ensuring that money isn’t really much of an object w/r/t food, shelter, cost of living etc.

so it’s hard to say - you could end up doing well and enjoying it, or you could extinguish your passion for doing the thing. you know?

or challenge that we usually have for hobbies - so we become less motivated and/or derive less enjoyment from them as a result.

other related & interesting studies have shown money isn’t a great motivator for quality of performance past ensuring certain baseline thresholds are met 2/

there were some interesting studies about motivation and attribution and the tl;dr is that when we get paid for our hobbies, our brain (which constantly looks for the easiest explanation as to why we do things) assumes we do it for the $$$ and not the sense of mastery/attainment/enjoyment 1/

US joins Russia to vote against UN resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine | CNN Politics The United States joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine Monday in a stunning shift from years of US policy.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

They’re doing this because they purchased just about all of downtown Seattle a year or two prior to the pandemic and they’re desperate to retain the property value. They crushed local business trying to get office space, during their spree. I was looking for space for my employer, at the time.
