Agnostic here brought up with Buddhist grandparents. I like the idea of reincarnation - (I don’t deny not truly believe it) you need a “soul” to leave you physical body and to repeat in an endless cycle. Nirvana is when you break free of this cycle and gain enlightenment.
The idea that a part of us may live on has helped cope with mourning a lost one. But that’s really it - in the face of mortality, sometimes you find mechanisms to cope. Don’t think I answered your question…
Not me but a friend worked at a start up that was acquired by a bigger competitor. The new CEO stated in their first company wide meeting that he believes the ideal employee is a ‘unicorn’. One who eats, sleeps and lives in the office working long hours. CEO laughed at people who asked about their benefits which were being reduced to the minimum (this is the UK so we have minimums but the startup originally had unlimited holidays etc). The CEO took over the board with a misogynistic vibe, all women left and then the guys followed.
I agree, it was so easy to waste hours with doom scrolling. Now I open Connect for Lemmy and often am forced to stop because either there’s no more posts, lack of comments or 503 error.
Seriously? What a stupid mistake to make. There should always be internal processes right?
