The creativity hack no one told you about: Read the obits
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=194362&nl=daily been
reading the obituaries for as long as I can remember. At first glance,
they might seem like little more than a collection of dates and
accomplishments. But for me, they’ve become a wellspring of
creativity — each one a glimpse into a life I never would’ve
imagined. And as decades of creativity research suggest, the most
original ideas often come from the most unlikely sources.

That’s why one popular piece of advice for boosting creativity is to
learn something new every day. But here’s the catch: This only works
if that new information is very different from what’s already in
your head. This is where most of our modern habits fall short.
Internet searches, for instance, give you information that’s related
to what you already know, or information that you’re already
interested in. So, how do you escape that loop and stumble upon
something unexpected, something you didn’t even know to look for?
The obituaries, obviously — but I’ll come back to that.

Earlier this year, a member of the Federalist Society posted an
article raising the alarm about an ambitious proposal to reshape
federal labor law. The proposal, titled A Pro-Worker Framework for the
119th U.S. Congress, calls for introducing civil penalties to deter
employers from engaging in unfair labor practices. It advocates
banning so-called captive-audience meetingsgatherings that employees
are forced to attendthat companies have used to spread anti-union
messages. It also outlines ways to expedite union elections and the
implementation of collective-bargaining agreements, which employers
frequently delay. With Republicans in control of both chambers of
Congress, the odds of enacting such union-friendly reforms may appear
remote. But the blogger at the Federalist Society was concerned
because, as he noted with dismay, the author of the proposal is
himself a prominent Republican, Senator Josh Hawley, of Missouri.

After glamorizing tobacco for decades, France is preparing for its

outlawed in virtually all outdoor public areas where children may
gather. That includes beaches, parks, gardens, playgrounds, sports
venues, school entrances and bus stops. Health Minister Catherine
Vautrin says tobacco must disappear wherever children are present. The
law also signals a deeper cultural shift. Smoking has defined French
identity, fashion and cinema for so long that the new measure feels
like a quiet revolution in a country whose relationship with tobacco
is famously complex.

There is an imminent threat to Taiwan, America warns - The Economist

UNTIL RECENTLY America reassured nervous Asian friends that a Chinese
invasion of Taiwan was neither imminent nor inevitable. But in a
dramatic shift on May 31st Pete Hegseth, the defence secretary, said
the Chinese threat could be imminent; and he implied any assault would
lead to war with America. China sought hegemonic power in Asia but
America will not be pushed out of this critical region, and we will
not let our allies and partners be subordinated and intimidated. Mr
Hegseths tough talk appears designed to deter China and reassure
allies worried about President Donald Trumps America First foreign
policy. Yet it raises two questions. The first is whether his
assessment of Chinese intentions is correct. The second is whether his
tough talk and effort to rally Americas friends in Asia is credible,
given the Trump administrations record of erratic behaviour and
contempt for its allies.
