I think depending on your sensitivity to these things there’s probably a spectrum of fatigue caused by a day of screen gazing and headphone music. I know I personally regularly burn out on both screen and music during work hours and prefer

As someone who self identifies as a nerd, and works exclusively with ‘nerds’ but is actually ‘popular’ irl I think this is an easy one. Nerds are unpopular because they are mostly introverts. Mostly not that fun to be around unless you like

The ‘more of what you already are’ idea seems very reductionist and unhelpful to me. There are definitely real risks that need to be made known around pre existing mental conditions and psychedelic use. Those are appreciated. But your thesi

Thanks for that quote, an interesting idea to chew on. Another I’ve heard is ‘always assume you’re in a bull market until proven otherwise’.

Awesome. There are plenty of modern forms of music / rhythms indented to induce trance as well. Disco four on the floor and Techno come to mind.

Surely a portion of grazing land is also habitat to a significant amount of wildlife. Whereas large mono crops leave no room for competition and result in much death in the automated processing of crops. Not a lot of great options with bill

Thanks for that, very interesting topic. But surely large sporting events have existed alongside large religion for some thousands of years (Roman events are the obvious example). Perhaps both trying to get at the same thing but not being t

But the whole point of the chicken and the egg problem is that it is not apparent which came first.

I wonder what the perception of Tesla will be in a few years when people start wanting to upgrade / sell these cars. I can’t imagine the resale being comparable to a Toyota. There is certainly a reason Toyota is the worlds most popular

I work for a software company serving companies that frequently go through FDA processes. Sometimes our software is replacing literally shipping file cabinets of documents to facilitate those processes. It’s amazing how slow some industries

Serious question: do we have any data on (non n95) mask wearing being an effective protective method from COVID-19? I’ve heard people use the prevalence of mask wearing in countries like South Korea and their better Covid results as a type

I’m about 3/4 the way through Taleb’s ‘Antifragile’ after having already read ‘The Black Swan’ coincidentally only a few months before Covid hit. Must read material for understanding the world we are living in / entering right now

The procrastination link is an interesting one. I used to put things off until the day they were due, waking up at 5 in the morning to finish papers etc. But it wasn’t until later in life that I started identifying as a ‘morning person’. Pr

For the people asking for a routine I would recommend “Light on Prãnãyãma: The Yogic Art of Breathing” by B. K. S. Iyengar. All the info you could ever want and more. I have had a regular pranayama practice for the past several years and t

I think what you mean by 'hipsters' is 'professionals'. As someone who's made several records and been in many recording studios, I would challenge you to name a single record that does not utilize an analog signal
