This essay I read recently speaks about solitude in a way you might find interesting. Basically how valuable it is to be in solute but also become sensitive to how it feels when you’re not getting influenced by other minds, as you say. htt

With the amount of money behind them, I regret to say I don’t think they’ll get legislated away. My best guess is that social shaming slowly dwindles their usage. It’s actively shameful to scroll at dinner among Gen Z, for example. The prob

At one particularly reprehensible job for which I was overqualified (job market was kicking my ass), I noticed that the higher in the food chain someone was, the more convincingly busy they appeared. The middle manager above me was genuinel

This is a great book regarding animal tracking and other interesting clues in the outdoors. It’s very British-centric sadly though. https://www.amazon.com/Walkers-Guide-Outdoor-Clues-Signs-ebo...

I did a few flights in college but never got my license because there wasn’t an instructor light enough to meet weight requirements with me lol. Do you have yours? If so, how long did it take you?

The author mentioned they’ve been self-employed for 15 years, then proceeds to make a bunch of claims about traditional employment, like being “your professional development being structurally supported,” but it’s important to remember the

As a counterpoint to the negativity in here. I purchased one of Angela Yu's basic webdev courses a couple years back and it springboarded my coding ability. I left it rather quickly to just build random stuff I wanted, but still, it wa

This is pretty intriguing. Would love if someone would chime in as to the downsides, as this seems too good to be true. I suppose being away from home for extended periods sucks, but the stints at home sound like a hacker's dream.
