Young Brits are much more likely to suffer from long term loneliness than their elders, new YouGov research reveals. 31% of 18-24 year olds say they feel loneliness either regularly or all the time, compared to only 9% those aged 55+ yougov.co.uk/topics/relatio…
Younger Brits also find it hard to make friends - 46% say this is the case, compared to 38% of the general population yougov.co.uk/topics/relatio…
When it comes to why young Brits find it hard to make friends, 80% say it's because they're shy (compared to 43% of those aged 55+) and 32% because they don't have hobbies that facilitate it yougov.co.uk/topics/relatio…

In good news for clean energy campaigners, most Britons support renewables expansion, and those with favourable views of oil, gas and coal don't support greater use of those resources

Exploring how the Theresa May and Boris Johnson Brexit deals stack up among Brits, we find that while two thirds (64%) think Johnson’s deal is indeed different, only one in ten (10%) think it differs significantly yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
When it comes to whether Boris Johnson’s deal is actually better than the one Theresa May struck, public opinion is split:
- 27% say it is better
- 19% say it is worse
- 25% say it is neither yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
Asked a straight choice between which of the Brexit deals they would prefer, Brits favour Boris Johnson’s by 37% to 17%. Almost half (46%) can’t pick between them, however yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…

As invasive and stealth data mining practices are becoming commonplace, we may soon be dealing not just with disinformation or communications blackouts, but with mass-scale surreptitious manipulation through nudging.

amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Communication mediated through hypernudging can gradually shift our moral values, norms and priorities.

amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Nudging (brain washing) using models built on individual preferences will become much more impactful in the future. Long-term nudging can be powerful – if not to swing a close election, maybe to increase apathy or foment dissent and distrust towards our institutions.

Time for another thread. Why did the USSR lose 25 million people during the 2nd World War?
To see why this is an important question, consider that Germany lost around 7 million people, the US around 400 000, the United Kingdom around 450 000 thousands & Japan around 3 milllion.
China lost between 15 and 20 million people, but for them the war already started in 1937.
Note that the Sowiet Union did not suffer the highest per capita losses: those were higher in Poland, where around 17% of the pre-war population died en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War…
In short, I think the people in the Sowiet Union were the unfortnate victims of two being at the crosspoints between two totalitarian regimes,

One habit you want to incorporate is writing.

Writing makes you a clearer thinker.

And being a clearer thinker makes you more emotionally stable.

Do this:

1. Identify 1 bad habit.
2. Whenever you want to carry out the bad habit, write instead

Your neural pathways will rewire
'Is writing that big of a deal?'

Yep.

I call it active meditation.

And it can alter your life.

But more importantly, making it a habit is deadly

Time for some neuroscience 101
When you meditate, you are trying to get your mind to focus on the present moment.

You can't see the mind, therefore it affects your awareness.

Many newbie meditators quit for this reason.

1/ "Whose Brexit vision is better?" we are sometimes asked - Labour's or the Conservatives? As a cross party organisation we try not to take sides, but we will try to answer as clearly as possible. #brexit
2/ The main problem with the Conservative Brexit approach is their strict, unyielding; some might say fanatical adherence to their red lines. This is probably because they see brexit as a zero-sum game, where the object of the game is to beat the other player.
3/ The Labour Party have fewer red lines, which should in theory mean it would be easier for them to negotiate a good deal, - but they have picked the wrong main redline - the CUSTOMS UNION. They mistakenly think that a customs union is a panacea.

1/ As a cybersec/hacking expert, I'm not sure I have much useful to add to the Mueller indictment of GRU officers in the hack of DNC. But that's not going to stop me from giving a few opinions anyway.
2/ Two years ago, I would've consoled that while we know it's Russians, we don't know that it's Putin. A lot of Russian hacking, as demonstrated by the so-called "Internet Research Agency", is not really tied to the Russian government, despite being pro Russian government.
3/ It's like soldiers in Ukraine. A lot are Russian mercenaries armed and paid for by Russian oligarchs, and not necessarily official Russian military. Disentangling this for proper attribution is hard.
