@Matt_Noyes In the federated wiki community, experiments with Beaker Browser and Hashbase.io continue, http://forage.rodwell.me/view/federated-wiki-on-dat .

In-progress work on DAT with Glitch https://wiki.dbbs.co/view/wiki-and-glitch .

I tried DAT on laptop to friend's laptop without hashbase, non-technical users will hesitate to open up a port on a home router with news about hackers on IoT refrigerators.

Think that you’ll be working past age 65? #OntarioSecuritiesCommission 2018 survey says >25% were forced to retire, 59% retired voluntarily.

> Just more than one-quarter of them were forced to retire, possibly for medical reasons, corporate restructuring or reaching a mandatory retirement age. Fifty-seven per cent said they retired voluntarily, while the rest said they reached retirement age and felt it was time to stop working (3 per cent didn’t reply).

The traditional separation of mind and body is dissolved by #ISTDP Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy, with Dr. Allan Abbass departing from traditional western medicine.

> it challenges the way society – and the medical system – have traditionally separated physical symptoms from mental illness and emotions, dividing what the body feels from what the mind thinks.

The maxim "the meek shall inherit the earth" doesn't necessarily mean what I thought.

> #JordanPeterson: I read this New Testament line, well, decades ago and I could never understand it.... Meek just doesn’t seem to me to be a moral virtue. [....] I’ve been using this site called Bible hub .... And the line “the meek shall inherit the earth”— “meek” is not a good translation or the word has moved in the 300 hundred years or so, three hundred years or so since it was translated. What it means is this, “those who have swords and know how to use them but keep them sheathed will inherit the world.”

> Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers
> (5) The meek.--The word so rendered was probably used by St. Matthew in its popular meaning, without any reference to the definition which ethical writers had given of it, but it may be worth while to recall Aristotle's account of it (Eth. Nicom. v. 5) as the character of one who has the passion of resentment under control, and who is therefore tranquil and untroubled, as in part determining the popular use of the word, and in part also explaining the beatitude.

When tourism accounts for one in 10 jobs worldwide, can a more "sustainable and responsible" way that benefits local communities be found?

> The [United Nations' World Tourism Organization] forecasts 1.8 billion trips by 2030, up from 1.2 billion in 2016. Add in the 5 billion domestic trips now, and that's a lot of tourists. Cheap airfare is helping to fuel the growth, along with massive growth in international travel from countries like China.
