Definitions of new words and concepts I learned with them.
Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.
In other words, if you allot an hour for a half hour meeting, there’s a good chance it will take an hour. That’s not a “law” scientifically, but research has shown this to be true more times than not.

The behaviour demonstrated by a meeting host that:
Makes pretty good sense if you’ve been in enough meetings to see the range of behaviours people exhibit in them!
Imperious authority is the opposite of generous authority. From this excellent Freakonomics podcast on how to have better meetings.

Art that modifies biased, misleading, and/or symbolically inappropriate art, rather than destroy or remove that art, so what that art wasn’t fair about isn’t forgotten like it was never done or might not happen again.
Except that I know it came from the TEDTalk below by Titus Kaphar, and I LOVE the concept!
With more on how art changes us from the TEDRadio Hour podcast episode below…

But here’s what you do with this, think about how you’d amend art that is biased or misleading!
Of course, that’d require you to be aware enough to recognize what art needed amendment.
Then be creative for how you can amend it.
I’ll refrain from giving examples of art amendment only because it would be fully of judgmental controversy. I would have to pass judgment on what art I thought needed amending, and why. Then I’d have to give ideas of how I thought I could amend it, which people would judge to see if it would make the art any better. That’s after they’d judge my judgment on the art needing amending and my reason/s for it.
Now, I’m not shy about courting controversy, but I am strategic about it. A blog post where it’s hard to have a conversation about it isn’t my idea of such a venue. Put me in a crowd where I can have face to face dialogue? Then hell yeah! Bring it!
That’s not to suggest I’d be looking for a combative scene, hoping to win or something. No. That’s where I’d love to engage and see what becomes of it all, whether I’m right, wrong, or we all would come up with something better than any of us might have been able to come up with on our own. That’s my kind of courting controversy!
Prosopagnosia, also called face blindness, is a cognitive disorder of face perception in which the ability to recognize familiar faces, including one’s own face (self-recognition), is impaired, while other aspects of visual processing (e.g., object discrimination) and intellectual functioning (e.g., decision-making) remain intact.
Basically, you just can’t recognize faces, including your own, or have a lot of difficulty doing so, despite your ability to recognize other things and make decisions being quite normal or even good.

A test that provides unequivocal evidence that children understand that a person can be mistaken about something they themselves understand.
In plainer language, it confirms that a child has reached an age where they realize a person can see the world differently from how they do. That’s if the child passes the test, of course. Sad state of the world is such that there are more than enough adults these days who would fail this test.
