Reading Shapes Your Brain – Here's What Happens When We Stop

“It’s worth considering what might happen to us as a species if skills like reading become less prioritised. Our capacity to interpret the world around us and understand the minds of others would surely diminish.”

“In other words, that cosy moment with a book in your armchair isn't just personal – it's a service to humanity.”

Has the control of the political narrative by the top 10% of earners in the UK, led to a defensive politics driven by a fear of downwards socio-economic mobility?

And if so, as Gerry Mitchell argues for @KSBylines is the democratisation of political narratives by sortition the first step in assembling a fairer more inclusive politics of the future?

And... if we accomplished that could we renew our broken social contract?

Well, it would be worth a try!

Rob Nijkamp: zo te lezen net zo'n partijhopper als #Yesilgoz: van de SP via de PvdA en BBB nu naar 50Plus.

Maar wel weer leuk voor #vanderPlas; dat er nog maar veel BBB'ers haar strontschip mogen verlaten.

The Job Market Won't Recover. What Are Your Options?
I need to tell you something nobody wants to hear.

The job market isn't going to recover. Not back to the way it was. Not in time to save most of us.

I know that sounds dramatic. I know you're probably thinking "he's being negative" or "it can't be that bad." But I've spent the last four months sending out 450+ job applications. I've watched the numbers. I've read the forecasts. I've talked to people in the same nightmare.

I've gotten hundreds of emails and read comments on Medium and LinkedIn from people who have been reading my articles. They all feel the same crunch, are in the same boat.

And the data is clear: we're not in a temporary slowdown. We're in a fundamental transformation. And most of us are on the wrong side of it.
