Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment
Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days
True work life balance
Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

He is an entirely elite driven phenomena, and the fact that he is so great at enthralling powerful idiots is going to be the next big battle after Trump finally dies. Spreading the Hanania mind virus is dangerous and the people that do it are not as immune as they think.

A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

Here's an idea: Any Democrat who wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2028 must pledge to rip this cabal of anti-democracy tech fascists out of our government.
Anyone who won't make that pledge is for the billionaires, not the people. This must be a deal-breaking litmus test.

I'm just bewildered. So much time and money being dumped into these projects, when basic social-IQ could have delivered better perspectives and solutions.
Are there any good studies on the apparent social stunting of these individuals? I want to understand how they became like this.

You can’t fix this inside schools alone, because students learn critical thinking in class, then enter online spaces that punish it. Skills without a supportive environment fade, so if the system rewards noise, the slow process of careful verification doesn't count for much.

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

Teaching when to trust
As fake news accelerates, we need to teach our children how to think critically. Finnish schools are leading the charge
