Bias is an energy-preservation habit. To manage bias you must actively exert energy. I believe you must: take care of your own health, understand your own values and goals, listen without prejudice, and practice objecting to activities that are contrary to your values and goals.

@janeruffino The Swedish word is "omyndigförklara", and I'd say this is generally not taught in schools. This is closely tied to 63,000 Swedes with disabilities being forcibly sterilized between 1935 and 1975 in the name of "racial hygiene".

Most Swedish history books will tell you that voting was made available to the general public in 1921 when women were allowed to vote.

I am blown away by the positive feedback I've been getting on this workshop and some of the outcomes are forcing a big smile and me shaking my head.

@cwodtke Agree, I loved it for 3-4 months (for sketching) but it turned out to be too big for the way I move around between clients. Also, too big for watching Netflix in bed! 😂

The same experts who proclaimed Trump inconceivable as president are now on the radio confidently explaining how he will be a hard candidate to beat.
I think they forfeited their right to be confident experts 2 years ago.
A region (county with healthcare responsibility) in Sweden has a ”living library” of 40 patients who can be checked out to ensure the patient perspective in development projects, seminars and more. x.com/KristinaNiemi1…

@dqpdang Thanks so much Di! Was great to chat with you briefly after as well.

Have you ever wondered what happens if upon applying for a Visa you by mistake tick the box saying Yes to having been engaged in terrorist activities?
Wonder no more.
When reality is absurd it is always more absurd than fiction.

@nicolecommander This is like a scene from Alice in Wonderland. If only we knew how many people this has happened to.
