I don't think it was a very good article at all. In fact, it was terrible. The first paragraph is a unsubstantiated smear of his character.
Absolutely yes, if you want to minimize downside to yourself

Nowhere else on earth is hungry talent alone worth 500k.

What an immensely privileged position to be in. And what an unjust system it must be for this to be possible, for fiefholders to play patrons in this way.

You might be thinking of the Arctic Ocean. As far as I know, the Arctic is the area enclosed by the northern polar circle. It includes land, and some of your favorite countries are partly inside the polar circle

Sorry to hear that. I've had a few concussions, too, and there is definitely a psychological component. I found myself thinking "Is how I reacted to stimuli X because of the concussions, or due to a flaw in my character?"

One day I realized that I am who I am; no A/B test can be done for my life with and without concussions. Causal inference can't be done by comparing experiences pre and post concussion. At most, it helps guide me as learn to deal with situations better - but not much more.

Still get tired, but fasting helps me stay productive.

"Though in some cases the particle and anti-particle are identical. That’s the case for example for the photon, which has no electric charge."

That's interesting. I was not aware that the photon had a degenerate state in this manner.

Some would say that a focus on proper grammar, expansive incorporated linguistical repertoires, and western/anglo-centric style is not inclusive. And I would agree.

In line with your example, I have noticed "costed" used instead of "cost" increasingly often.
