Redlining (opens in new tab)

What is redlining? Wikipedia says it's a discriminatory practice of denying credit to minorities.

Edit: OK got it in the article, it's driving a car too fast.

Except your car is your brain and so it's burning yourself out I guess. A little confusing

I tried doing this a few times. It's hopeless. Responses to questions range from "I don't know, I was just told" to "Let me get back to you", with the occasional impression that the person being asked is thinking "Why is the worker thinking about the task instead of doing it".

I've come to the conclusion that it's easier to just do the task and leave the why of it to the people who are supposedly paid to worry about that.

Actual therapy is required for this, it's a very serious issue.

I inadvertently (from time to time) practice a different style more akin to high-altitude training. I'll try doing relatively challenging tasks on little sleep or otherwise non-optimal (e.g. had been drinking) conditions. Sometimes I'm surprised by how complex a task I can do and other times which I can't. Either way it's good to know your limits and push them sometimes, there may be a situation where being high-functioning can save you.

Presumably this was intended to link to the post by that name (https://selectfromwhereand.com/posts/redlining/) and not all posts (where it currently points).
