> Manual labor is our default condition.

It might have been our default condition, but it certainly isn't now. Manual labor has evolved with the machines and techniques of civilization. Its been a while since ditch diggers weren't aided by mechanical assistance, and we've all met people who really cannot be trusted near anything with moving parts.
I agree with your comment.

> Why would hunter gatherers not wear clothes, when they can offer useful protection against the elements?

I was curious about this and looked it up. Apparently there was some period of time during which humanity did not wear clothes. This has been determined by looking at the DNA of hair lice versus clothes lice and seeing where they diverged: http://news.ufl.edu/archive/2011/01/uf-study-of-lice-dna-sho...

I think as a man you have evolutionary pressure to spread your seed as much as possible, that pressure manifests itself as depression. I don't think that has changed.

I'm a pretty non-musical person, and time signatures have always confused me. Unfortunately, this explanation left me just as confused. I can hear the difference between the two sample beats but I cannot figure out how to generalize this to other time signatures beyond the 3/4 and 6/8 described here.
> Almost anyone can pick up a mop and move it around. The minimum IQ to do that is around 78 I think

I've worked with people—quite talented knowledge workers—who could not physically lift and move a mop. Or their own body more than trivially without mechanical assistance, for that matter. Yes, you can be intellectually handicapped and capable of physical work, but intellectual handicaps aren't the only kind.

> It’s just an illness. I mean, it’s right there in the name “Mental ILLNESS” so it shouldn’t have been the revelation that it was

I think this is actually a big part of the problem. In most other contexts we encounter, stuffing an adjective in there means "NOT". Soy milk? Not real milk. Computer science? Don't see anyone using the scientific method.

I'm absolutely certain that mental illness is real, and deserves real study and real treatment, but even so, whenever I hear "mental illness" I can't help but hear a twang of "... (not real illness)". The phrase "physical illness" is relatively rare because we normally just call it "illness".

Is there a better word for mental illness, which stands on its own? Names matter, and I don't think this one is doing us any favors.

Rework dramatically slows production.

Tesla cannot get the rest of their booked-sale cash for an undelivered car.

But they must pay all the fixed production costs anyway. In cash, creditors at this point will be getting squirrelly.

Therefore: slowness in production is the fast-track to a possibly fatal cash crunch.

Yeah, you can choose to postpone an update. The car may occasionally prompt you again, but I don't think it will force you to install it if you really don't want to. I've never postponed for more than a day or two though.

There is a cartoon where a scientist travels to the future and finds the world has become an utopia. A friendly host shows the scientist the wonders of his world, and then says something like "no one is poor or hungry anymore, we have everything to cover everyone's needs, even a beautiful house for each". The scientists asks "Why not two houses?". The end panel is the scientist getting back into his machine while a nuclear mushroom looms in the background.

My point is, people doesn't seem to be made to be fully happy. Yes, we enjoy the high of happiness, but soon we come down and take it for granted, then something else we don't have is what will make us happy. I think this an asset, what makes us human and what encourages us to strive for something more. This is also a liability, as we easily lose perspective and purpose.
I had the same experience. There was an Indian lady in front of me, she got harassed mercilessly. I think these personnel need to be shown consequences.
May or may not be helpful, but the way I learned it:

numerator = beats per measure

denominator = which note "gets the beat"

3/4 time has 3 beats per measure, where quarter (1/4) notes get the beat.

6/8 time has 6 beats per measure, where eighth notes get the beat.

etc...

Software agencies don't scale. People in software shops know this. In fact, even successful ones, for years on end, may have just months of runway. That's literally the business. It's just how it works.

The more devs you have, the more clients you need, or bigger ones.

So, OP, to be clear, software agencies are lifestyle businesses. Don't expect to scale if you're working on client solutions, because that's what agencies' bread and butter is.

There is a fundamental difference, however, between being a marketing agency, a mobile development shop, or a software company going through RFP cycles for govt. contracts and being a product or service company.

They feel different, too. There might be similar headcount, but differences in goals are just significant enough to matter.

The latter actually scales, but can still be a lifestyle company, too.

Anecdotal evidence is that it has changed my life. It may not work for everyone. But it'll probably be effective if you want it to be.

As regarding "making things worse"... well, sometimes it might. For example, say over the years you've developed strategies for coping with depression that involve angry outbursts. Getting into therapy to help with the angry outbursts may "reveal" the underlying depression for which those coping strategies were developed.

Therapy isn't a production line. Everyone is different. You are paying a mental health professional to get to know you as well as you feel comfortable with, and collaborate with you on treatment for what you're there for.

I was unaware Wil Wheaton could feel shame.
Moreover, such requirements can be listed, even if they're only occasional parts of the job (and might reasonably be accomodated away by having someone else or a piece of machinery perform that portion instead). For example, I've seen senior IT-Helpdesk postings requiring lifting of 40 pounds, where the duties listed are otherwise non-physical.

I think we both agree here that this is a very important topic and people should be aware of it. I wished this had more of a RCA response at the end. How can you [the audience member] get help.

If I saw him saying "well .. I want to tell you something very personal, and that has taken me on a very dark path" .. insert full story. At the end, rather than trying to promote organizations and his political stances. I wished he would say: "I've been very much helped by x, and y." or "I feel that this organization could help with this issue, because ... "

I feel like that would have been a much more personal, and gave him a much more consistent speech that would have persuaded his audience better. These are things happening to him, that's his story. I get the feeling that friend's I've known that have been suicidal/depressed, if they read his message, they wouldn't have a positive path forward. They'd read it and it wouldn't give them tools to help their situation.

He's probably been adversely affected by a scene he's acted in.

In this particular scene, a nasty bald-headed old man shouts "Shut up, Wesley!" at a young Will Wheaton. It's immensely popular on YouTube, the click-count alone probably haunts his psyche daily.
I suffer from depression and anxiety. I take medication, and it helps big time. There's no doubt it's a physical phenomenon.

However, it seems easy these days to forget that our lifestyle and choices also have a dramatic effect on our mental well-being.

This bit that you've quoted from Mr. Wheaton sets off an alarm in my head: he may be a member of the social constructionism / extreme relativism cult, which is the kind of belief system and lifestyle which could depress anyone given enough time and immersion. The amount of control that the true believers of this ideology attempt to exert over human nature is unsustainable, and almost certainly leads to strained relationships, moral confusion, poor judgment, and so on.

In other words, I think Wil's got problems other than just clinical depression and anxiety. He may benefit from taking a hard look at his beliefs and challenging them a bit.

> There are plenty of people that break the law everyday and never get caught, unsolved crimes rates are HUGE

Sure but this is a resource problem. If we devoted the resources, we could solve the crimes. Those resources would arguably be "better" deployed 'simply' rather than, say, by investing in officer sensitivity. The tactics of policing work, that's the argument I'm trying to make.

No, society deserves more sensitive policing, even though it costs more and demands more from people, because it's the right thing to do. It's a pure moral argument, and it loses something when you try to paint it as a tactics issue.

> Recidivism is a complex issue

It's really not. The whole thing can be boiled down to a very simple statement of fact. Society fails people. The reasons why it fails people can be largely determined to be resource problems, not failures in the mentality of the people trying to help. The 'bad egg' explanation of law enforcement failure should be taken way more seriously than it is. Most cops really do want the best for the people they have to work with on a daily basis.

But they just don't have the resources to put all these people into the precise social programs that they need. Every decent social worker is immensely overworked and underpaid. There's a massive number of people who want to get into social work but there's just not that many jobs available, because from a governmental budgetary perspective, money spent on social work is money thrown away.

Sure, when you get academics into a room and do studies, yes, money spent on social programs more than pays for itself. But that 'paying for itself' is diffuse, the repayment doesn't just flow back into state coffers. So you have to justify every expenditure.

It's a really hard problem, and laying blame at the feet of law enforcement systemic failure misses the point profoundly.

The denominator is not as important as the numerator. (The Wikipedia page on time signatures makes that clear)

One thing about 6/8 that is not literally communicated by the notation is the rhythm: the first and fourth beats of the bar are stressed. But not equally, because that would be indistinguishable from 3/8.

Its a shame when someone looks solely at a checklist with nothing to do with environment to determine how difficult someone's life has been. Its even worse when they use it to evaluate their own problems or the problems of others. I often think this is a contributor to our own mental health and causes us to cause pain to others because we are blinded to the condition versus what a checklist says they should be.

It also might explain the absolute vitriol that comes from Mr. Wheaton's twitter feed. I really believe if you rage against other people by calling them subhumans it reflects on your own condition. You cannot stay happy with yourself if you put malice into the world at such high levels. Not everyone you disagree with is automatically evil of the highest order. Too many people stare into an abyss of their own making that prevents proper healing of their own soul.
Yeah, I think there's value in this. I stopped drinking about 15 years ago, it's been very beneficial.

I really think others would probably benefit as well.
Additionally, when you are listening to music the denominator has no meaning. You can hear how many beats to the bar (the numerator) but the way that it is notated (quarter note gets the beat or eighth note) is just a matter of how it is written.
I largely agree, but the fact that all value generating activity is zero sum is still literally true. You can't escape thermodynamics.

No, in most contexts in English, modifying a noun with an adjective doesn't invert the meaning of the noun.

"Beyond wealth, there is poverty of taste, standards, and expectations, family practices and emotional intelligence that define many Asian family backgrounds."

This is a great insight and I see it all the time in the Asian community. The comparing of children's credentials and achievements, the psychological terror of getting less than an A in class growing up, the the keeping up with the Joneses w.r.t. other Asian families. This stuff really messed with my head growing up and now as an adult, I appreciate the work ethic they instilled in me but I will never raise my kids like that and I appreciate the simple things in life and spend more on quality not quantity. I never faced the horrors and atrocities they faced in their respective countries growing up and I'm forever grateful for their sacrifices in dropping everything to immigrate here and being born and raised in America. I simply would not be the person I am today if I had to come here via H1-b visa so I'll take my odd childhood in the best light possible, my first generation parents made the best of their situation compared to the educated and stable parents of my peers.

Can anyone here first generation American relate? I may be younger than most, turning 30. Would love to hear your experiences and relationship with parents w.r.t. culture and practices growing up in America (or immigrating young) and how it effected how you raise(d) your children.
