  • In terms of focussing, no.

    I will sometimes listen to specific music to build concentration but more than one input and its a distraction.

    I think people who spend a lot of time focussing on their devices find it easy to piggyback that focus onto something else.

  • I don't live in the us so I can't comment on any change that has been or not been.

    I do know that privilege itself obscures experience. Compassion and empathy are built on experience. Therefore expecting someone who is privileged to have compassion or empathy to those without the same privilige is unrealistic. They have to be shown, or brought to a point where they can align their experience with others.

    Why would they care? At worst they're unaffected. At best they're benefitting. What is their impetus for change?

  • After the black Saturday fires in Australia, many home owners who were insured discovered to their horror that they were under insured

    The value of their possessions and the repair value of their home had increased but they hadn't increased the level of insurance coverage to match. Despite suffering total losses, many have been unable to afford to rebuild.

    This has been in the back of my mind seeing the LA fires. This is just the beginning. It will take decades for some of these people to re establish.
