Ask HN: Tech for Preserving Context?

tl:dr - go to the last paragraph.Context switching has been talked about for a long time as a major problem, but I think its getting much worse because of the nature of contemporary technology.

Your analysis is wrong. From a democratic majority point of view, the current government had a very narrow majority(49.9% of cast votes) but since then it lost in all polls almost 15% of its support. The majority of Israelis clearly oppose the legistlation, and they are very very angry about it.

So why would a democratic government insist on passing laws that cost it its chance to win the election and are going to be overturned by the next government, and risk a heavily antagonistic policy against the current coalition's interests, by the next likely govermnent?

In a democratic framework it makes no sense. The only way it could make sense is if the current coalition is planning to break the democratic system, and engineer unfair elections, and unfair political system, like in Turkey and Hungary. And all the coalition's rethoric and other actions hint in this way like a giant flashing neon sign the size of a skyscrapper.

So as pretty as your theory may sound this is a completely different scenario.

When people die during a surgery they die immidiately, but when their lives get extended after a surgery, it only happens years later.
