I'm just now finding out after app hunting for the download links, when you save a site link shortcut, some pages will give you the option to do so in the form of an app that is not available in the app stores (Android).

I aim to point out the absurdity of such a statement at a job. Perhaps they need a better one like, "Just be chill."

I had a panel job interview where one of the interviewers became convinced I was using a fake personality and repeatedly demanded I start being myself. It was one of the most bizarre experiences of my professional life.

The interviewer was being their self by being aggressively paranoid delusional? ๐Ÿคฃ

Ways to stay informed added. Sabine Hossenfelder removed. She was our hero for a decade, but chasing ratings on YouTube has caused to her to turn from the expert theoretical debunker to creating false narratives against all research. That is not to say we wouldn't still reference her old content that doesn't get political. It still has value and we still love pre-corruption Sabine.

I haven't been keeping up with her videos. What in particular are you referring to?

Ah, I think I may have an idea now...I went back and watched her "Should we defund academia?" video. I agree with a few points (e.g.: sometimes ivory towers of questionable use can be propped up by grant money), but it seems like strange reasoning overall.

In my opinion, many of the problems within academia actually stem from "privatization" of research (e.g.: the "academic publishing" racket, NDAs and patents on important breakthroughs, etc.). Open and ethical science is always the way to go.

That said, I also think that "nationalizing" critical infrastructure (e.g.: schools, research laboratories, etc.) is just as dangerous. Businesses and governments are often two sides of the same coin (e.g.: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=meQAKA8SD7w).

*sigh*...I could go on and on about what I think the fundamental social issues are and offer conjecture on how we might resolve them, but I will stop there. Thanks for the heads up. I also identify with the aim of helping others to keep themselves informed.

Fourth unit converted. Everything else is just grinding the new content out now, which should be a lot easier.
