This feels like an important idea
"what counts as reasonable varies depending on where you are looking from. The further away from the decision makers a decision needs to be accepted, the more transmissible the reasons need to be.
[...]
there may be cases where the limits on what can be explained mean we do have to adjust our reasons. But in most cases, I believe, the long term is best served by fixing on the best reasons, and adjusting our explanations to make them travel as far as they can. It’s another discipline provided by the outside-in view of reason: if we can’t explain ourselves in a way that other people think makes sense, maybe our reasons aren’t any good."

"By adopting the same patterns that other, more knowledgable people expressed I could feel more credible, more like a real part of the community, more like I belonged.
I bought my sense of belonging, with contempt, and paid for it with contempt and exclusionary behaviour.
And now, I realise how much of it is an anxiety response. [...] What if other people judge me for my choices and assert that my hard-earned skills actually aren’t worth anything?"

Does anyone know about Helmholtz machines, or similar, and would be open to me asking a couple of questions?
I do experimental cognitive psychology and they're outside my expertise, and I think my questions are the type that are hard to answer through reading individual papers myself but should be simple for someone who is familiar with the higher level assumptions and norms of the field.
Thanks!

I'm glad people are recommending getting US passports with correct gender markers (it's true, you just choose M, F, or X and don't have to prove anything)
But also:
It's illegal to enter the US without showing your US passport
Immigration have pretty free reign to give you shit and refuse you entry to the country (ask me how I know)
So if you think border cops might respond negatively to your correct gender marker, it's worth weighing up pros and cons
Not saying don't do it, just adding info

If you vote in Florida, this website is a very useful guide to the different choices on your ballot.
It explains what the question is asking and then gives the view of people who are supporting and opposing the initiative, so you can get an overview of what the outcome might mean.
I always find ballots very overwhelming and this website lets me vote in a way I can understand and feel confident in.

I got a note through the door that the Post Office has something for me but I need to pay some extra postage before they will give it to me.
I don't know what it is.
It's a real life experiment into how curious I am and how much I would pay to resolve the uncertainty!

"deciding to live at a slower pace is a reaction against the acquisitive, never-satisfied mindset capitalism promotes. Gannon hopes that the current movement away from always seeking more status or stuff, and towards having more time, might be a healthy sign for our society.
[...]
Of course, there is a thorn in this rose: everyone who writes about spending less time working and more time resting seems to be… how can I put it? Already very privileged."
