Und wie können Eltern und Lehrpersonen sie bei Kindern und Lernenden fördern? Text: Fabian Grolimund Illustration: Dass sich die extrinsische Motivation zum Beispiel durch Lob,…
Manche Kinder bringen von Anfang an mehr Leben ins Haus - sowohl im guten wie auch im herausfordernden Sinne. Im englischen Sprachraum werden sie als "spirited children" bezeichnet; auf Deutsch ist von gefühlsstarken oder temperamentvollen Kindern die Rede. Was hat es mit diesen Bezeichnungen auf…
dynomight · updated Oct 2022 · science effort 1. You’re in the mood for destruction. One day, you hear about this phenomenon of “radiation” where matter gives off energy. You think—perhaps you can harness this property of nature to make a big boom. Apparently matter is made of discrete objects…
Ein Polizeibericht und Videoaufnahmen werfen Fragen auf. Hat das Vorgehen der Polizei überhaupt erst dazu geführt, dass die Anti-Pnos-Demonstration vor zwei Jahren eskalierte? Eine Recherche in Kooperation mit der Republik, Teil 2. Wie Katz und Maus, nur dass es kein Spiel ist: Szenen während der…
There’s a tech industry habit of second-guessing “what would Steve Jobs have done" ever since he passed away, and most of the things people attribute to him seem like guesses about a guy who was very hard to predict and often inconsistent. But recently, we have one of those very rare cases where we…
September 22, 2025 • 2 min read I was lucky enough to make a few friends my first semester of college. We ended up hanging out quite a bit during those early months. We’d all get excited for the weekends because Friday nights meant going out to party. Everyone except for Anna, that is. Anna was…

S Sometime in the late 20th century a naked man bent over, spread his ass and took a picture. Eventually that picture, known as Goatse, became one of the most venerable memes in internet history. Who is this man, and how did his ass take over the internet? The story of Goatse begins with a…

People often credit my good handwriting to my Catholic school education—like a nun with a ruler and a taste for corporal punishment perfected my penmanship. But that’s not why. It’s because of my mom. An engineer by trade, she can execute the kind of perfect block letters that only come with years…
Cindy Bi is not supposed to be telling me this story. First, there’s the confidentiality clause. When Bi, a venture capitalist who claims to have invested in a dozen unicorns, hired a surrogate to carry her only male embryo in 2023, both parties agreed to keep the details private and away from the…

My phone is an ereader now August 30, 2025 I got a Kobo in 2016 after borrowing my mom's old one for a year before that. It probably is responsible for getting me reading again after high school. I used to be an avid reader, the sort of kid who would have to be told to put down the book and go to…
The pleasure is in foreseeing it, not in bringing it to term. — Jorge Luis Borges, Selected Non-Fictions This post is about managing ADHD. It is divided into two sections: “Strategies” describes the high-level control system, “Tactics” is a list of micro-level improvements (really it should be…

As Richard Feynman points out, every 'why' question in science needs to be treated with caution. This is because there are always several different levels at which a why problem can be answered, depending on what kind of response you're looking for. Taking Feynman's illustrative example, if pizza…

We were walking to watch the sunset when a dog started barking at us from a porch. From inside, a voice called out: "Don't worry, he won't leave the porch. The electric fence hasn't worked in years, but he still won't go past it." I stopped mid-step. A dog, imprisoned by a fence that only exists in…
"Diese Männer sind nicht zu Ende geboren" – Seite 1 Sein Buch "Männerphantasien" war ein Ereignis: Der Kulturwissenschaftler Klaus Theweleit hat 1977 als einer der Ersten den Zusammenhang zwischen Männlichkeit und Gewalt auch psychoanalytisch untersucht und damit den Diskurs bis heute geprägt.

I’ve recently rediscovered an old game called “The Games: Winter Challenge”, a Winter Olympics sports game developed by MindSpan and published by Accolade in 1991 for DOS and Sega Genesis. I had the DOS version of the game when growing up, so when I was randomly reminded of its existence, I was…

Jan Baptist van Helmont (1580–1644) was an astute thinker for his day. It was he, for instance, who coined the term “gas,” which he derived from the Greek word for chaos (χᾰ́ος). But he is better known for an experiment he ran in the early 1600s investigating the growth of plants and trees. He took…

Language is meaningless without context. The sentence “I’m going to war” is ominous when said by the president of the United States but reassuring when coming from a bedbug exterminator. The problem with AI chatbots is that they often strip away historical and cultural context, leading users to be…
In the last year or so I’ve taken an interest in mapping trees. Urban trees, to be more precise; I’d probably not attempt to map a forest that way. I try to record the location, type, and size of each tree. With “type” I mean the species, and “size” I express in height, crown diameter, and…

Today’s post was going to be about a new product we’re introducing—but we need to hold off while we recalculate our prices. You’ve probably seen the news: Virtually all imports into the United States will be subjected to additional, steep import taxes, also called tariffs. The goal is to radically…
The pain jolted me awake. It was barely dawn, a misty February morning in 2023. My side felt as if I’d been stabbed. I had been dealing with pain for weeks — a bothersome ache that felt like a bad runner’s cramp. But now it was so intense I had to brace myself against the wall to stand up. A few…

I tug my black swim cap over my hair, strap on my pink goggles, and keep a focused calm, like Michael Phelps before a race. It’s lap swim on a Monday afternoon at my local YMCA, and I’m going to attempt the fish kick. Most fish move through the water with a horizontal wiggle. The fish kick…

“It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.” I hadn’t lost everything — just my backpack with two passports and my laptop — so I became only a little freer. This story happened three months ago. It is an embarrassing story. It is embarrassing and difficult to tell — but…
