this meeting will be remembered in ages to be come.


You're making the assumption that even more outrageous things aren't coming down the pipeline. I think that's unwarranted. They will continue to escalate.


suggesting such "mapping" as if it is should be an industry standard sickens me.

be direct and clear without accusing or putting your emotional baggage in the conversation.

there are no shortcuts or maps that can take you out from the communication maze. know how to be adult & communicate and find your way.


Judging by comments in this thread, including yours, we need more websites like these.


As a Person with ADHD:

- first thing i do is drinking big glass of water

- doing Sun Salutation yoga sequence, either 1 time or N times -as long as i am willing to do that day-

- spend first 15 minutes of working hour with coffee and writing a short todo for that day into paper.

I cannot emphasise enough how doing mindful exercises -even 1 minute!- regularly in the morning helps with my ADHD.

But here is my ADHD trap: I do yoga every morning, feel better, since i feel better stop doing them at some point because i don't think i need it. Downward spiral starts and i lost track of my ADHD.


I am on the spectrum and Yoga helps me a lot to get grounded.

I thought it is just a personal thing and was afraid I would be ridiculed if I said it helps, even in support groups.

I am not alone, nice to know.


Can you give some examples of mindful exercises that are short?


4-7-8 breathing or similar is a nice option (breath in 4 seconds, hold 7 seconds, out 8 seconds). I find 2 minutes helps you get into it more than 1.

Journaling for for 1-2 minutes is also pretty useful.


Replace the glass of water with cold milk. You'll thank me later.


From the toilet?


It’s what plants crave!


I also have ADHD, one of the best thing i tried is doing a morning yoga (sun salutations) either 1 min, or 5 min (however i feel, same sequence repeating).

I think somewhat starting the day with mindful exercises helps greatly for rest of the day. I do this morning routine daily for a week, feel great. Then stop doing because i feel great, downward spiral starts. and start again.


Well, this should be the main hypothesis of QiGong/TaiChi/Yoga.

The "energy blockages" means the affects of the stress on the body. (tight shoulders, abs etc..) And some mindful streching exercises (like QiGong and Yoga) aims to release this tension on the body (hence the reverse the effect of the stress) and be "healthy"


I had idea of essential and incidental tension the other day. Fred Brooks' distinction is quit apt here. It seems like physical tension and is about the same software complexity. There is essential complexity/tension and incidental.

TaiChi/QiGong/Yoga is about eliminating incidental tension.


This conclusion on "Dance" is to narrow i think. What about TaiChi/QiGong? Or martial arts? or yoga?

Instead, maybe, the research might have focused for "exercises that requires high coordination and awareness of body is superior to weightlifting"


Do you, by any chance, deep down, feel like a prisoner longing for freedom? reflecting your internal state in the dog?


Hi, i can relate to that due to my adhd related poor executive function, and lack of proper internal structuralisation (both organisational and time or task related)

Have you checked if you have adhd? In any case, it is always a good idea to get a professional help from both a psychologist and a psychiatrist if you can.

On the other hand, i recently start practicing tai-chi, it helps you to center and ground yourself, might not seem like a direct solution to those problems but definetely helps to have a centered and grounded psychological base to look around and yourself. (And i believe complex nature of the moves trains executive functioning)

can relate the post. but i wonder if what she/he defined is a "burnout" or just the result of the alienation?

no matter which execuses we find, we know that our job is meaningles. KPI's OKR's Jira tickets.. does not mean jackshit to our self.

I've jumped on programming/tech since i got my first computer, i loved how hacking/building something that works and learning new stuff along the way feels. But at the end of the day, this is just another white-collar job, some shits needs to be done, most of the time with coorporating with other people.

If the article defines burnout correctly, i think it is inevitable due to the alienation[]

yeah but, "kind of" copied, and samalt reinforced that with refering to "her" in this tweet.

samalt is walking in the shadows of ethical/non-ethical line and he seems obviously is proficient in that.

however, even in such cases he does not hesitate to walk in the border of non-ethical is worrisome for the future of the ethics in ai.
