1,273 Best Life Lessons from 2020
– told to Mark Manson
We sure learned a lot about ourselves.
“Adversity seems to bring out not necessarily the worst in people, but the essence of people. In my months working in retail through the pandemic, I’ve noticed my cranky customers get even meaner. The pleasant customers have gotten more friendly, understanding and compassionate towards our challenges. The generous ones have been leaving even bigger tips than before this whole thing started. The creative, optimistic business owners on my block have gotten more creative to survive while the businesses that were already failing have chosen to blame everyone else for their failing business.” — Jim

Globaliseringschok
– i Heideggers ‘Hvorfor Digtere?”
… Heidegger forkastede den filosofiske traditions begreber og konstant udviklede nye orddannelser og søgte dybt ned i etymologien for at gentænke, hvad væren, værende og endelighed betød. Set i det lys er det ikke overraskende, at han søgte mod digtningen som et særligt sprog, hvor de spørgsmål han undersøgte kunne komme til udtryk.
Faktisk er det svaret på spørgsmålet i titlen Hvorfor digtere? Digtere kan bringe den ellers glemte erfaring af endeligheden for dagen, som muliggør, at verden, menneskene og tingene rundt om os overhovedet får mening, og det vil sige overhovedet bliver tilgængelige for os. Og det vil for Heidegger sige: eksisterer.
What Writers and Editors Do – The Paris Review
By Karl Ove Knausgaard
What would the books have been like without their editors? In my own case, the answer is simple: there would have been no books. I would not have been a writer. This is not to say that my editor writes my books for me, but that his thoughts, input, and insights are imperative to their being written. These thoughts, this input, and these insights are particular to me and my writing process; when he is editing the work of other authors, what he gives them is something particular to their work. The job of editor is therefore ideally undefined and open, dependent on each individual writer’s needs, expectations, talent, and integrity, and it is first and foremost based on trust, hinging much more on personal qualities and human understanding than on formal literary competence.

hadet – det modsatte af døden
Judith Herman skriver at et barn i en afhængighedsrelation til en krænker, er tvunget til at påtage sig krænkerens aggression for at undgå total eksistensudslettelse, så siger barnet “jeg er også et ondt barn” så siger barnet “jeg har fortjent det” så hader barnet sig selv og hadet er så det modsatte af døden

Den virkelige vaccine mod Covid
– forandringerne.
Denne oplevelse har bragt os tættere på hinanden og samtidig holdt os adskilt. Det har givet os chancen for at omdefinere vores medmenneskelighed og bevist, at verden virkelig er ét. Det har vist os, at vi er lige sårbare, lige afhængige af andre. Måske vil bevidstheden om vores fælles medmenneskelighed, vores fælles skæbne, i sidste ende føre os til at rekonstruere en verden med ægte sundhed og ro – for alle. Det vil være den virkelige vaccine mod Covid19!

Repurposing for covid-19 – anti-inflammatory drugs
Hyper-inflammation, whereby the immune system goes into overdrive and destroys the organs, is how covid-19 tends to kill.
The search for suitable anti-inflammatory drugs for covid-19 has already turned up one, dexamethasone. It is a cheap steroid that dampens the immune system across the board. In contrast, tocilizumab and sarilumab are more targeted. They are both made of antibodies that block the effect of interleukin-6, a protein that stokes the immune response and has been prominent in patients with covid-19.
Farvel til bogmomsen, hurra!

Psst, det er fiktion
»Prøv noget nyt«, sagde Informations litteraturredaktør, da han tilbød mig jobbet. Man skal passe på med, hvad man ønsker sig, det kan være, at man får det. Til sagen: EU’s kulturministre stor-overraskede i går med en samlet udmelding:
»Enhver, der har sat sig en my ind i sagen, ved, at læsning er godt for mentaliseringsevnen, blodtrykket og folkeoplysningen. Vi er jo dog stadig og på kryds og tværs af ideologiske og religiøse skel flest videns- og fredselskende demokratisksindede mennesker i EU. Altså: Farvel til al moms og alle skatter på alle bøger i alle EU-lande, goddag til flere, mere læsende og mere bogkøbende EU-borgere, flere boghandlere og mere gang i forlagsbranchen.«
