In the year 2021, people will be able to turn on their Personal Computer, connect to the global Internet network, and tell the computer to fetch things that make them angry.

habits, -
Watching YT when eating, constant listening to podcasts when doing things, no time for thoughts, but also no time for loneliness, and after I've expended my energy for doing things, I play games
So, I'm trying avoid digital things today, it's not going so well, it's so ingrained in my habits

The reason why confidence in science fell was because of:
- misreporting by newspapers -- they misreported because it was profitable to do so (Controversial headlines sell more papers -- See how Nature published a paper stating ESP was real, but not the followup paper that found it wasn't replicable!).
- misreporting by the university's PR department -- again, because it was profitable to the university (They need good news to show their sponsors, to show they aren't wasting resources, and to draw more people into the university as students).
- inability of slower, steadier, and more iterative scientific research to get grants -- again this is because stating "I want to do this thing that someone else did but just to double check" is not profitable for a university from a PR standpoint

agile software is when you do story points and velocity instead of hard time estimates, and then management won't leave you alone until you give an estimate anyways

agile software is when you assign a point value to all your user stories and make tasks for all of them and then you wind up doing whatever the PM says is urgent

agile software is when you do stand ups and the more stand ups you do, the more agile it is
