While we're here, any suggestions on what works better for writing math to a digital whiteboard? Wacom type tablet with no display, or an ipad type tablet with pen?
From others who support your campaign.
Yeah, it does suck that money == power.
IMO representative democracy isn't a problem, but corporate lobbying is.
You can start a campaign. They can bring about change, in the long run. If a think tank was campaigning for something you didn't like, I bet you'd be first to complain about it...
> It's been proven that employees don't normally do that?
I have no idea, but I think the psych literature (and common experience) does show that people will take stronger ownership of stuff they defined themselves in the first place (well, duh). If HR think they can get more buy-in for free then why would they not go for it.
They can also serve as a bargaining chip for the employee, assuming they negotiated a choice of goals they actually want. E.g. you can say to your manager "I need you to approve this training budget for me to contribute towards this goal we agreed at my last review".
Yeah, we have a union at work and can confirm we're allowed to move chairs, monitors... actually I can't imagine any work our employer would stop us doing unless there is a health and safety, ethical or PR issue
Personally I thought the Feynman lectures were ok but with room for improvement.
Vol 1 was good. Vol 2 was good though overly repetitive, iirc it's 90 percent Maxwell's equations. Vol 3 was unintuitive to me. Still I learned qm from it and made this

I'm fairly confident I get qm now, but most of that understanding came from trying to code it in simulation. Which suggests there are better ways to learn than Feynman 3.
