While I am also saddened by the dishonest nature of the reporting on the Minsky accident and the cowardly lack of push back against it, one should not go to the other extreme and simply dismiss all the complaints about Stallman's behavior as him merely being "a clueless aspie". A good example is his emacs virgin joke, which he as as I read specifically made about individual female members of the audience. Due to our hysterical politicized environment we are not able to deal with incidents like this : acknowledge that behavior like this is unprofessional but does not make Stallman a horrible monster, especially since he indeed stopped making that joke after some criticism.
The second chart of the page shows the share of people who say they are either very happy or mostly happy, click on "Map" in the bottom right corner to see all the countries for which data is available.
Sample:
US: 90 percent say they are happy
China: 85 %
Ethiopia: 63 %
Love the blog, but this is one of the weaker pieces. There is ABUNDANT data on this topic, which all point to the large majority of people being mostly content with their life. This result holds true even for low income countries, but not for the poorest countries.
Even without looking at data, the author should consider that his patients come to him to specifically talk about their problems, and not what is going well in their life. It gives him a skewed perspective.
Good recommendations so far, but personally I find one method to be the most effective : multiple question versions in conjunction with randomization
Say you have decided to brush up on your first grade math, and you make a card for multiplication. Instead of just making one "2 2 = 4" card, you make one card containing three potential questions, so you add "5 4 = 20" and "3 * 3 = 9" to the same card. Each time this card is scheduled to appear, Anki will randomly choose one of the questions to display.
This way you prevent your memory from overfitting to the irrelevant context and force it to remember the actual concept, because you have to use your knowledge of how multiplication works every time. You have to pick a large enough selection of possible questions for that to work, for me three is usually enough.
Additional bonus : anki reviews get less tedious, because you don't feel like always seeing the same old stuff.
