About Ellinor (she/her)

I'm a deeply analytical and hyper fixated person. The numbers' game governs my way of life. I'm always paying attention to the clock and planning my day accordingly. With that said, I also have a converse need to allocate as much time out of my day to certain tasks as possible. Allocating only one hour for a project which takes an hour to complete has never been enough for me. Even if it means devoting 12 hours of my day to a project which takes eight hours, I always prefer to leave room for something. That could be a stress break, or it could be an intermission of a snack. Most often, however, it's for the hidden art of getting side-tracked. My attention span has never been my greatest asset, but I've never seen it as an inherently bad trait for my work ethic. For as long as I'm able to capitalize on my distractions, they can serve as an immense learning tool. View all posts by Ellinor (she/her) →

In the context of topic 39, I substitute the term “reliability” with “consistency” because I find that it’s much easier to distinguish from validity in my head.

My emphasized field of study means bringing awareness to consumers in an ever-evolving landscape of global trade. If goods originate from an unsustainable, unethical source, I believe that all people have the right to know based on a model of corporate transparency and moral accountability.

Self-Driving Vehicles and the Diffusion of Innovation

January 31, 2022UncategorizedEllinor (she/her)

A few weeks ago, I discovered a viral tweet advocating for public transit. It read in rather bold terms “I don’t want self-driving cars. I want boring things like public transit that comes so regularly I don’t need to check a schedule. I want fast passenger rail so accessible and easy it’s preferable to suffering … Continue reading Self-Driving Vehicles and the Diffusion of Innovation →
