Some progressive policies are popular, some are unpopular, some vary in popularity based on how the policy is polled. The point is a policy’s popularity is simply not a factor if it cant get past the first and most important filter which is “does the donor class approve of this”

@MarkLRuffalo @tonyztherapy which social work programs have a good clinical/psychiatric focus in your opinion?

Therapists & social workers both help people, but let’s stop pretending they’re the same job. Therapy is clinical, deep work, challenging thoughts, rewiring patterns, & healing trauma. Social work is advocacy, resources, & systems navigation. Both are vital. Both are different.

One thing I didn’t realize until later in life is how the incentives of an industry shape your mood, your outlook, and even your character. In early stage investing, the incentives reward optimists, so it literally pays to keep an optimistic outlook. In journalism, the opposite is true. In law, the incentives often reward finding the flaw or the anomaly. In litigation, a combative nature is rewarded. It’s later in career when you realize that disposition matters. Looking back there were careers that were antithetical to my nature, even if I had the functional skills to do them well. This may sound obvious but not a single person ever told me this.

The most successful people I know aren’t talented. They’re consistent.

Pretty darn good Dartmouth commencement speech from tennis great Roger Federer. Read the whole thing: home.dartmouth.edu/news/2024/06/2… Or ponder these paragraphs about the dangers of perfectionism and the need to move past mistakes:
