Although hate speech and disinformation with potentially dangerous consequences do not need to be encouraged in any way, the most zealous efforts to stop such speech also have negative consequences. The problem, of course, is that jokes, irony, parody, various forms of art, or legitimate critique may fall under the generous definition of hate speech or disinformation.
Now there's a forbidden opinion! :-)
How to deal with procrastination
How do you deal with a lack of focus? How do you hold yourself accountable to your commitments?
It's always the same. Re-petition of thought ("conceptual matter") generates (the sense of) re-ality.
Repeatedly see commitments and/or other matters requiring sustained focus as above-average fun/rewarding, genuinely/earnestly seeking out evidence of how/why they are (above-average fun/rewarding) while *enjoying* that fun/reward until they - just like magic! - *are*.
And don't get caught up on whether that means it's not "really real", because there is no such thing. It's how you see/model/re-present it - aka reality - period.
