Is there a connection ?
11 p.m. Did you know “male-enhancement” ads are very popular on TV between 2 and 4 a.m.? They all say “See our ad in Golf Magazine.” Is there a connection ???

We don’t receive wisdom
We don’t receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take from us or spare us

The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age
Myślę, że bardzo mądre spojrzenie na temat. Kiedy o tym pomyślałem, kompletnie zgadzam się z gościem, zwłaszcza, że niedawno napatoczyłem się na swoje własne wypowiedzi z czasów studiów na pewnym forum tematycznym i .... najchętniej bym je skasował, bo wiele im brakuje pod różnymi względami, ale się nie da :)
In a recent book, "Delete: The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age", the cyberscholar Viktor Mayer-Schönberger cites Stacy Snyder's case as a reminder of the importance of "societal forgetting." By "erasing external memories," he says in the book, "our society accepts that human beings evolve over time, that we have the capacity to learn from past experiences and adjust our behavior." In traditional societies, where missteps are observed but not necessarily recorded, the limits of human memory ensure that people's sins are eventually forgotten. By contrast, Mayer-Schönberger notes, a society in which everything is recorded "will forever tether us to all our past actions, making it impossible, in practice, to escape them." He concludes that "without some form of forgetting, forgiving becomes a difficult undertaking."

Bankructwa się zdarzają
Gorąco polecam przeczytanie artykułu Bankructwa się zdarzają na temat bankructwa Grecji i jego wpływu na europejskie finanse i kryzys ogólnoświatowy. Krótko, mądrze i bez owijania w bawełnę. Polecam.
