It's the Hottest Job Market in 20 Years for Tech Workers (bostonherald.com)
There's an air of desperation among tech employers this summer. Software talent, it seems, is in such high demand that companies are morphing how they hire. And workers are the ones with the power. Good and experienced tech workers are being treated like local celebrities — hounded by recruiters, courted by managers and bestowed a bevy of options before choosing their next boss. [...] A tidal wave of productivity software flooded the world. Simultaneously, remote work became the status quo in the tech industry. Suddenly, software talent could pick and choose from a massive pool of job opportunities...

Rituals create community by translating our love into action - Article on Xunzi by Curie Virág
For Xunzi, the Chinese Confucian philosopher of the third century BCE, emotions such as love and gratitude are not just feelings in response to events – things that happen to us – but possibilities for action.

The Importance of Posture
Posture ranks right up at the top of the list when you are talking about good health. It is as important as eating right, exercising, getting a good night’s sleep and avoiding potentially harmful substances like alcohol, drugs, and tobacco. Good posture is a way of doing things with more energy, less stress, and fatigue. Without good posture, you can’t really be physically fit.

Will China bail out Biden? Prominent Chinese academic's warning that inflation might bankrupt the US government will be read carefully in Washington (Asia Times)
"At present, the interest on US Treasury bonds is more than 1 point, and the annual interest payment is about $300 billion US dollars, which is considered to be affordable. But if inflation approaches 5% or even exceeds 5% (interest rates will definitely follow after inflation exceeds 5), then the United States will need $1.5 trillion a year to repay the interest of 30 trillion federal treasury bonds, which will definitely lead to the bankruptcy of the government."

China's Giant Ionosphere-Zapping Radar Is a Defense System Masquerading as Science
The Navy and DARPA ran a similar facility–the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) in Alaska. The South China Morning Post recently revealed plans for a new Chinese radar facility on the island of Hainan, China’s southernmost point. Described as a “high-powered incoherent scatter radar,” this installation will bounce radio waves off the Earth's high-altitude layer of charged gas called the ionosphere. Although the project is in step with the county’s other mega-science projects, experts think the new facility is more interested in military matters than discovering the secrets of Earth’s upper atmosphere.

Think of the current time as the world’s largest ever human IQ test..
"If you have to be persuaded, reminded, pressured, lied to, incentivized, coerced, bullied, socially shamed, guilt-tripped, threatened, punished and criminalized... If all of this is considered necessary to gain your compliance - you can be absolutely certain that what is being promoted is not in your best interest." - Ian Watson

The Road to Totalitarianism - by CJ Hopkins
"The global-capitalist ruling establishment is implementing a new, more openly totalitarian structure of society and method of rule. They are revoking our constitutional and human rights, transferring power out of sovereign governments and democratic institutions into unaccountable global entities that have no allegiance to any nation or its people. That is what is happening … right now.

Today in "the fall of western civilization": The 2021 "Global Emerging Technology Summit" of the "The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence" (NSCA) (8h Video)
#Comment: This gathering of western military, business and political "leaders" (50%+ spooks) is in essence a total shit-show of the very worst kind. "Diverse" participants - from sleazy used car salesmen, loony dr.strangeloves, to soulless think-tankers and political puppets - are discussing things like A.I, info-warfare and killer robot efforts, all in the name of preserving the "rules based international order" and "democracy" (what ever that means). Fantastic comedy!
