Is a successful contact tracing app possible? These countries think so.
If contact tracing apps are following Gartner’s famous hype cycle, it’s hard to avoid the conclusion they are now firmly in the “trough of disillusionment.” Initial excitement that they could be a crucial part of the arsenal against covid-19 has given way to fears it could all come to nothing, despite large investments of money…

A Karen by Any Other Name
The Covid-19 pandemic has shed an unflattering light on some of our society. More people than I’m comfortable with, when faced with a minor inconvenience, will loudly proffer their opinion that perhaps it would be better if some other people died. This extreme entitlement is often personified in American and...

150 years ago, a philosopher showed why it’s pointless to start arguments on the internet
Contradictory points of information don’t shift emotionally rooted arguments, but only cause people to dig deeper into their emotions to hold onto those views.

Slow movement (culture)
The slow movement (sometimes capitalised Slow movement or Slow Movement) advocates a cultural shift toward slowing down life's pace. It began with Carlo Petrini's protest against the opening of a McDonald's restaurant in Piazza di Spagna, Rome in 1986 that sparked the creation of the slow food movement. Over time, this developed into a subculture in other areas, like the Cittaslow organisation for "slow cities". The "slow" epithet has subsequently been applied to a variety of activities and aspects of culture. Geir Berthelsen and his creation of The World Institute of Slowness presented a vision in 1999 for an entire "slow planet" and a need to teach the world the way of slowness.

The Financial Times said the book is "to the Slow Movement what Das Kapital is to communism". Honoré describes the Slow Movement thus: "It is a cultural revolution against the notion that faster is always better. The Slow philosophy is not about doing everything at...

Nátlak a moralizování u ekologických hrozeb nepomůže. Naopak, říká etik Binka
Příroda není rodič s bezednou peněženkou, který „zacvaká“ naše problémy, musíme se chovat dospěle. Myslí si to environmentální etik a filosof Bohuslav Binka z Masarykovy univerzity v Brně. Řešením podle něj není ani nátlak, ani moralizování. Čím dřív však společnost zastaví klimatické změny, tím víc si budeme žít jako dnes, doufá.
