Self awareness. Part of the reason so many are mentally struggling with Covid is because they have had to sit with themselves, and what they met made them VERY uncomfortable. Know thyself.
Sitting with Covid has afforded you the opportunity to meet your inner self, thats progress, projecting your discomfort from your experience onto everyone else is not progress. You can only know " Thyself "

Eventually they might realize how much they are projecting their own issues onto others. We all do that to some degree but self awareness helps identify it, understand it and prevent further toxic from spreading from your own source.
So true. They can’t run anymore from their core and it keeps nagging at them and telling them something is off. Maybe they eventually realize to open up listen and explore to see what it’s trying to tell them. Before they could distract themselves from it but now they don’t have much choice to escape from themselves lol

Maybe effective lying should be taught.
When you're a kid you were always told "Don't lie, always tell the truth" but everybody seems to do it...and they do it because it's easy and it get's you out of a lot of spots and can reward you also...people we were told too trust lie more than anybody.
But if you don't lie effectively and get caught you could have a real mess on your hands.

Most of the above. But the most important and obvious one to me is this guy's advice. I heard him talk once on Oprah probably but his advice was If you work 8 hours a day, save one hour of that. If you work 5 days a week you should make a point of saving at least one day of that. Isn't much to ask is it?
The most difficult thing ever not to burst out laughing - especially when you see people smell it but try to pretend not to.How to keep a straight face when you let rip a killer fart in a crowded elevator.
IMO, this all on the adults. Adults invented, manufactured and sold those gadgets to people. Adults bought those gadgets for their kids to be substitute friends and parents. Adults also spend time in front of screens and not with their kids. Adults can be more isolated and go online to argue needlessly with other isolated people.
This is a peer reviewed observation. Even Billie Eilish talks about it in her recent Vanity Fair video. Did you feel attacked?
I knew you would get it

You need to teach kids how to work in a McDonald's, after that class everyone will be fully qualified for Canadian jobs.
IMO, working at McDonald's or just about any fast food job would be a valuable life experience. It teaches then how to do real work with others in a high stress environment and not lean on their degrees. There are many people in the corporate world (many in management positions) that don't know anything or have any experience even with multiple degrees. Their knowledge is theoretical not practical. These are people that know how to study, take tests, write emails and not much else. They've never gotten their hands dirty in the real world.
