This is lovely. I like the courteous tone treatment. I like the intent. I am excited about wading into the treasure trove of ideas here.
Where it says:
"They know they won't get extensions unless they kill their own mothers, and even economics students aren't that evil."
I would change it to:
"They know they won't get extensions unless they kill their own mothers, but these are only undergraduate economics students."
This is fantastic, thank you. Still digesting.
I've been doing mindfulness training, mostly Sam Harris's Waking Up App, I have found it to be a good tool in that same direction, I think.
This is a really powerful direction to act from, I think.
