659 People who always volunteer to take the group photo instead of being in it aren’t being helpful — they’ve found the one socially acceptable way to remove themselves from the frame without anyone asking why, and that quiet self-removal is the most visible invisible thing a person can do in a room full of people who never notice who’s missing from the picture until years later when someone asks “wait, where were you?”

People who always volunteer to take the group photo instead of being in it aren’t being helpful — they’ve found the one socially acceptable way to remove themselves from the frame without anyone asking why, and that quiet self-removal is the most visible invisible thing a person can do in a room full of people who never notice who’s missing from the picture until years later when someone asks “wait, where were you?”

Behind every group photo is someone who jumped up to take it — not out of kindness, but because they've mastered the art of being present while staying invisible, erasing themselves from their own life one perfectly timed volunteer moment at a time.

Quote of the day by Carl Jung: “Loneliness does not come from having no people around, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”

Carl Jung wrote this line in one of his later works, somewhere in the 1950s, and the line has, since, become one of those quotes that floats around the internet attached to various images of solitary figures looking out windows. The line gets quoted, in most cases, as a piece of moody literary observation about ... Read more Read more

The economist John Maynard Keynes predicted in 1930 that his grandchildren would be working roughly fifteen hours a week by the early twenty-first century — and the strange thing is that, technologically, he was approximately correct

It is unusual for a prediction to be half right and half wrong at the same time, but that is basically what happened in the case of John Maynard Keynes. The technology arrived. The leisure did not.  In 1930, as British unemployment was climbing toward Depression-era levels, Keynes wrote a short essay called Economic Possibilities ... Read more Read more
