Asthma has nothing to do with gas or kitchen air.

But let’s continue to brainwash for money and FUD.

Time to understand that modern standard diet is inducing hibernating mechanism in human and therefore is lowering body temp by around 1 degree celsius as one of the least worse side effect (obesity, diabete, hypertension...)

Let me applaud you. I’m 43 years ald autodidact. And it’s only last month I started to take some note in a notebook about my reading. I feel this simple thing missing in my life had a huge negative effect.

So many content I read, watch and my brain is never full of new things new topic new understanding but the biggest difficulty is recalling things when needed. Taking notes, summarising key points, and being able to reread it has a huge power to structure though and articulating idea between them. Also it’s avoid thing to stay in a vague memory in the brain. Also I use my notebook to write down any idea that cames to my mind anytime. Cause the brain is never stopping working, while I pop, while I walk the dog out, while I shop. Anytime I feel I have something interesting showing up I my mind I write it down.

Since almost 2 months. And I can say this simple act was the missing piece in my life.

In a year or two, when that notebook has been filled and replaced with newer notebooks, make some time to go back and reread. It is wild sometimes, re-reading things I forgot I know/knew. Pretty sure this helps for recall, even if not, it is still nostalgically entertaining.

Edit: swapped 'enlightening' for 'entertaining'. Admittedly, could be both.

At least someone knows the science.

As far as it’s about intelligence, don’t the author suffer the navel- glazing biais to only consider intelligence in one dimension, as an individual characteristic.

Human like many others species is a social species. And collective intelligence is what emerge from social interaction in a cohesive group.

A bee hive is able to solve geometrical series, while none of individuals in the hive is able to solve it by himself.

Human are not différents and collective intelligence is what truly exists and is important despite all the individualism propaganda.

So there might be a curse of intelligence at individual scale. But we don’t have to worry about it. Because individual intelligence as almost not importance compared to collective intelligence.

In fact it’s almost the opposite, the curse of intelligence can only exists in individualistic environment when no feedback is provided, by censorship, or silencing process from the inner rules defining the social link between individuals.

For instance I would suggest reading the “gossip trap”’from Erik Hoel explaining how archaic social structure based on personal branding as the only sustainable way to survive in the group is destroying civilisation and pushing the group back in barbaric time.

Managing you own notoriety and personal branding is the core aim of social media. With this new category of influencers.

There is no curse of intelligence. There os curse of social mediation which fails to modulate individual intelligence in the benefit of the collective intelligence.

Modern diet is an undercover transition therapy.

I don’t know if I’m qualified as a father of three.

The most important point to raise children from my POV and experience is: mimétisme.

The very efficient way to teach or train them to adopt habit or behaviour is by personating yourself what you want them to be.

Children are copying what you are more than what you do.

Want them to love book ? Don’t buy them book and keep watching tv, play in front computer, or frenetically scroll your mobile. Just be a reader in front of them.

Want them to be curious, just be curious yourself… want them to clean and order their room, just clean your mess and order the house.

It’a all about that Your behaviour is the most important.

Leadership is not about enforcing things to other. But being the living example of the behaviour you want them to adopt.

Another important point from my POV, is learning and emotional context of the learning.

The more relaxed is the emotional context, the easier the learning will be easy and the skills will be able to be reused with ease in the futur.

Each time you use a skill in your life, your body also bring back the emotional context of the time of skill learning.

Learning is joy, not pain, not stress, not tension. And they start learning and never stop from the moment they are out of the mother’s belly.

It’s your responsability as a parent to enforce a relaxed and joyful environment in your house.

I could say far more, but I will stop here and wish you the best of luck. Congratulation for you and your wife being a parents.

For the first three years, I cannot recommend anything else than reading and practicing what explain this book : https://www.gentlerevolution.com/products/how-smart-is-your-...

If you have to buy one book this is this one.

> Leadership is not about enforcing things to other. But being the living example of the behaviour you want them to adopt.

This is so important it bears repeating. And I'll say it's not only true for parenting. Thank you for putting it this way!

From my French perspective, I would say developers aren’t paid enough.

For one reason: market price manipulation.

Half the IT market here is handled by service company. Their main business is to hire IT guys and sell them at daily rate to customer (final company).

This works very well for market price manipulation when the middle company owners are also the owner of the customer company.

Let me explain: let talk about bank. They are the biggest IT service customer on the market followed by military. So in the late 80, when they get bored to be milked by freelancer cobol développers they united and created a service company, which business is to hire IT guys and resell them to themself ( the banks).

They hired cobol dev from North Africa, for far cheaper than hire locals, they invented business rules in buyers département, defining that the bank cannot make business with small company (too risky). Most dev freelance run a little company for accounting and billing.

Then when the locals were looking for new job, they didn’t have choice, they have to go through the service company which was allowed to make contract with banks (because she is far bigger than one man company) and the poor local dev was pressured to cut by half his price cause he was in competition with the North African dev.

We can also talk that as far as the service company and the banks are owned by the sames guys, this eases a lot of accounting and tax optimisation, to say the least.

And here in France only a des service companies are managing now half of the IT market.

And guess what ? There isn’t any union for IT industry.

And also this situation helps to create the fear about not enough IT guys, pushing government to open wide the frontier to allow foreigner to work. How ?

Well when a bank open a position to be filled, she sent the proposal to several service companies, and then those service companies publish proposal on job board. So there can be 5 or 6 open position on a job board, for the only one real open position at the final customer.

And after médias are writing article about how it is difficult to find people, there is much demand and so few candidates, we must open the border and let all peoples around the globe onboard in France to fill the job market. All that while we almost have 10 000 000 of unemployed.

I don’t know how it works in other countries, but this is mostly how it works since late 80 in France.

Let’s not forget about the public money (state money from tax) thief scheme. When ministry is opening an it positon around 1500 euros/day rate, and when the final working (the guy doing the job for real) is only able to bill around 600euros/day. 900euros days are going to a multilayer of middle service companies which most merit is to have a guy able to use a phone, and whose boss has often an uncle or similar into ministry or gov.

Such schema in the banking is not unique to France unfortunately, I've seen that in other European countries and Canada as well.
