Dal punto di vista di un figlio maschio, cosa c'è di peggio del "discorso" fatto dai propri genitori a proposito del sesso? Beh, fare una app di educazione sessuale assieme alla propria madre, probabilmente. Ma tant'è.

Come in tutte le storie, questa è solo la punta dell'iceberg e a conoscere i partecipanti emergerebbe una narrazione sicuramente diversa. Ma l'idea che un vedovo venga fatto condannare per abbandono di rifiuti dall'ex suocero perché ha piantato dei fiori sulla tomba della moglie è veramente triste. E lo hanno pure arrestato.

Dopo il covid adesso a milioni di americani viene chiesto di restare dentro casa per via delle ondate di caldo terrificante che si stanno abbattendo in questi giorni sul Paese. Secondo me il momento di cercare un posto fuori mano e fresco dove vivere è arrivato.

Slow, slow. Piano, piano. Bisogna rallentare, dicono. Ma questo vuol dire invertire una tendenza che ha costruito la nostra società oltre al modo con il quale lavoriamo. Esplicitarlo (così come esplicitare temi come il reddito di cittadinanza) porta a confronti e attriti molto forti. Qui c'è una buona traccia del perché bisognerebbe rallentare. Degli interessi in gioco si parlerà un'altra volta.
Money quote: "Reducing the total number of hours that office workers toil each week seems an obvious solution to the problem of burnout caused by overwork. Indeed, it’s a solution that’s been offered before. The journalist Carl Honoré, in his 2004 book, “In Praise of Slowness,” depicts the rise of various “slow” movements around the world. The phenomenon started in the nineteen-eighties with Slow Food, when a group of local activists reacted to the planned opening of a McDonald’s near the Spanish Steps in Rome. A subsequent manifesto rejected the “fast life,” personified by fast food, and called for a revolution in slowing down that would begin in the kitchen. “Let us rediscover the rich varieties and aromas of local cuisine,” the manifesto declared. As Honoré documents, this pushback against speed soon moved beyond food. He describes similar movements focussed on a variety of topics, from Slow Cities to Slow Medicine and Slow Parenting. Not surprisingly, Honoré dedicates an entire chapter to the part of our lives where too much speed is arguably the most overwhelming: our jobs."

Lo smart work e le altre forme di lavoro a distanza sono diverse da quelle in ufficio perché manca l'interazione faccia a faccia. E non è una tonnellata di zoom a risolvere il problema: meglio scrivere.
Money quote: "The remote work environment is different from the office. Different environments call for different communication systems. A communication system that is adapted to the remote work reality can unlock amazing benefits: (even) better productivity, a competitive advantage in the long run and much a better work-life balance on top of it all.
Asynchronous written communication is the tool best suited for remote work. We are so used to talking to each other in the office, expecting immediate responses in work chat, and having meetings all day, that we tried to replicate that at home with zoom and slack."

Il Budda, questo sconosciuto. Cioè, conosciuto tramite la retorica della sette in cui è divisa la sua filosofia religiosa. Per quelli di noi non iniziati è quello di qualche film, magari quello di Bertolucci, o chissà. Invece, il lato storico è ancora più inquietante di quello religioso (che era già bello inquietante di per sé).
Money quote: "Only the bare details of this account stand up to historical scrutiny. According to contemporary academic opinion, the Buddha lived in the 5th century BCE (c480-400 BCE). But the failure to identify Kapilavatthu implies that he was not a prince who lived in a grand palace. The most likely sites are the Nepalese site of Tilaurakot, an old market town about 10 km north of the Indian border, and the Indian district of Piprahwa, to the south of Tilaurakot and just over the Indian border. But the brick remains at both places are a few centuries later than the Buddha, which at least agrees with the oldest literary sources: according to the Pali canon – the only complete collection of Buddhist literature from ancient India – the Buddha’s world generally lacked bricks, and Kapilavatthu’s only building of note was a tribal ‘meeting hall’ (santhāgāra), an open-sided, thatched hut (sālā)."

Money quote: "Adams, who died on June 6, 1859, had led a remarkable life. Over her 93 years, she escaped slavery three times—once in Maryland and twice in Connecticut—before settling in Uxbridge, Massachusetts, where she lived as a free woman for the last 21 years of her life. Her long-forgotten grave was rediscovered 37 years ago, but it’s just been during the last several years that the town of Uxbridge has worked to have her grave site accepted to the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom, operated by the National Park Service. Earlier this month, it was accepted—immortalizing it among 650 sites critical to the history of resistance and escape, according to Diane Miller, the national program manager of the Network to Freedom. “Even if she escaped one time, we would have included her grave site,” Miller says. “But it’s remarkable that she had to escape three times.”"

Nello spot della Apple più citato dopo "1984", cioè "Think Different", c'è un passaggio iniziale che fa riferimento ai "round pegs in the square holes" (in Italia è stato tradotto con "tutti coloro che vedono le cose in modo diverso"). Però poi i misfits, i rebels, i troublemakers, insomma i crazy ones, sono personaggi AA+, sono questi: Albert Einstein, Bob Dylan, Martin Luther King, Richard Branson, John Lennon, R. Buckminster Fuller, Thomas Edison, Muhammad Ali, Ted Turner, Maria Callas, Mahatma Gandhi, Amelia Earhart, Alfred Hitchcock, Martha Graham, Jim Henson, Frank Lloyd Wright, Picasso e Dr. Sun Yat-sen (e poi la ragazzina del finale che apre gli occhi).

È difficile vivere.
