When all your problems can be solved by money, it buys happiness. When none of your problems can be solved by money, the perception is it isn't impacting your happiness, but I bet getting rid of it would impact your happiness a lot...
I've always taken to the perspective that money alleviates stress and anxiety, but alleviating stress and anxiety is not the definition of happiness (even if it helps).
Your perspective encapsulates mine and I would add that having no financial burden does grant one all of their time too if they choose. Time is the one thing that no one can ever directly buy more of and earning more time is done day in and day out through sound choices around mental and physical activity. Money buys experiences, invest wisely to earn more time, while I state to everyone to "Stay Healthy!" and make sound long term choices because one's potential future health event can significantly change one's future. I speak from direct experience.
Highly ineffective CEO responsible for destroying a huge amount of value that he originally played a major role in creating. But arguably destroying more value than he himself created. Should probably have made Zach Kirkhorn CEO instead.
If YC partners are on the board as YC rather than as individuals, then YC as a whole has a Duty of Loyalty to that company and could not sit the other board or invest as a Major Investor. There are scenarios though where the individual at YC is on a board as themselves, and YC invests in another company where unrelated group partners are the ones working on the investment and that is fine.
Disclosure: not a lawyer, YC is a Major Investor in my startup.
Yes. Also, keep in mind, YC investing as a fund without taking a board seat has no Duty of Loyalty at all, they could fund every company in an industry and so long as the founders were cool with it there's no issue. So it specifically relates to board seats, which investors and YC tend to be prudent about.
"He contends that treatments used for patients who have brain injuries have also been shown to be effective in treating long COVID–related brain fog symptoms. These may include speech, cognitive, and occupational therapy as well as meeting with a neuropsychiatrist for the treatment of related mental health concerns."
Is that a brain injury, or just... mental health challenges? I was expecting something more permanent but in practice if occupational therapy and such work then it implies a significant psychological feedback loop component at least.
They work for everything, including distress and fatigue associated with cancer or severe injury. It doesn't imply a significant psychological component, it just means humans are always extremely highly influenced by therapy-like approaches as social creatures.
If it’s similar to the TBI issues I’m familiar with (myself and others I know) then the mental health is an actual area of focus for improvement.
You can kind of think of it as unloading your mental processes because the damage either took some offline or rewired them. By improving your mental state and gaining new tools you can compensate for that.
That’s a layman’s way of looking at it that’s probably very wrong to a neuro/psych professional, but I think it’s close enough to explain the basics.
The latter, viruses are just stressful on the body and recent research is finding the more subtle and long term ways they affect us. Rather than Long Covid being some historically unusual phenomenon, the research is showing that there is Long versions of other viruses we were misattributing before with similar frequency.
