    But I would 100% read a longer cultural history of how the bizarre sex and gender norms of Harvard undergrad--the explicit ways we quantified "hotness" so we could compete at desirability, like grades--has shaped what is now the global infrastructure for dating. And everything.

    Open-plan offices are Twitter.

    Open-plan offices have been found to reduce productivity and impair memory. They’re associated with high staff turnover. They make people sick, hostile, unmotivated, and insecure. Open-plan workers are more likely to argue more with their colleagues.

    Cool low-fi version: at resorts a scammer pretending to be white employee will ask customers for the last four of their Social Security to validate a charge. Most people mutter/subvocalize the entire number when asked for the last four, so you get the whole thing.

    does anyone know to what extent people unintentionally subvocalize their internal monologues? am curious to what extent this technology can be adapted for things like mind-reading and transcribing dreams.
