An Untold Story of LSD Psychotherapy in Communist Czechoslovakia
https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/an-untold-story-of-lsd-psychotherapy-in-communist-czechoslovakia/

1970: After some 3,000 sessions with 300 patients at Sadská, he (dr. Hausner) reported that general health improved for 60 percent of them, and life satisfaction increased for 70 percent.

(...) In April 1966 Sandoz announced that it was stopping all distribution of its product, and therapists from the U.S., the UK, Italy, and other countries started visiting the Sadská clinic, hoping to buy Lysergamid.

Let me do the math. A month of Unity seat license = ±3× full month Adobe Creative Cloud seat licenses, starting next January. Okay.
(Unity Pro = $170, CC = $55)

It's days like today that expose the income inequality. I recently gave a 14-year-old ThinkPad to a family who were happy because they couldn't afford a $300 low-end laptop for their kids to do homework on. Today the Internet is full of people who can't wait to drop $2000 on a phone that is marginally better than what they already have in their pocket. 🤯

Většině lidí se asi nebude chtít číst tohle dlouhé vlákno, protože v Česku se člověk cítí příliš bezmocný, než aby něco mohl změnit. A je náročné a zraňující o tom číst. Ale protože mi nějaká viróza vzala sílu pracovat, tak to stejně napíšu:

Naši planetu jsme poslali na destrukční trajektorii pro náš život a nezměníme to, pokud nedocílíme celosvětové změny. Změny v regulaci života na zemi, změny v používání zdrojů a co je nejdůležitější, celosvětové regulace kapitálu.

I sometimes hear people make fun of the fact that Berlin has a huge empty field right in its core area where Tempelhof airport used to operate which is now a public park and left almost entirely unchanged, runways and all.

They talk about it as if it's an example of the city's inability to do something "useful" with this land. And what they mean is build stuff on it.

But just the way it is, it is hugely popular among the people of Berlin, it's a unique space where the sheer size of it enables anyone to basically do whatever without annoying anyone else. Even at peak times like Saturday afternoon, it still doesn't feel crowded and the further away from the edges you go the emptier it gets.

It refuses any commercial "usefulness" and instead gives people space to use how they see fit. It's absolutely beautiful.

Všechno co jste chtěli vědět o chudobě v Česku, ale báli jste se zeptat. Kolegyně Lucie Trlifajová ze SPOTu se rozhodně nebojí odpovídat a to v širokých souvislostech. Doporučuji k přečtení:
