These models excel in controlled conditions, but they falter in the…

One of the biggest misconceptions in professional life is this: The conversation starts when you open your mouth. Actually, the conversation…

Three minutes is enough time to make instant ramen. Or steal $10 million in art. Authorities found that out the hard way after a band of thieves broke into the front door of the Magnani-Rocca Foundation outside Parma, Italy, and took off with three valuable paintings in a flash, reports the New York Times.

In 2019, Colorado adopted a law prohibiting conversion therapy for minors. It defined the controversial term as any practice or treatment attempting “to change an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity.” But a talk therapist from the state, Kasey Chiles, said the law inhibited her right to free speech in her practice—and as of a ruling on Tuesday, March 31, the Supreme Court voted overwhelmingly in her favor.The Supreme Court decided 8-1 to strike down Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy for minors, setting a precedent that could undermine similar laws in 23 states and the District of Columbia.

As you have probably heard, most of human history, civility was not the default setting. Societies were rougher, hierarchies more brutal, and interpersonal interactions often governed by blunt displays of power and overt physical aggression rather than kind or cordial exchanges. In medieval societies, for instance, everyday interactions were far less restrained by norms of politeness. Status determined how you were treated, and those with power often exercised it quite openly. Rudeness, intimidation, and direct confrontation were not social faux pas so much as ordinary features of life in rigidly stratified societies.Fortunately, we have come a long way. Today, success…
