Went to visit some family this weekend, and I totally forgot that work life balance is a huge issue for some people. Personally, I’m team no work life balance because anything transcendentally good should be done in excess.

After watching Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, I am reminded of the story of Moses. The two are similar in that there are two parties that are on a death spiral. The lesson from the story of Moses is that you need to split the ocean and carve a new path. The anime serves more of a warning total annihilation.

Watched my first Ghibli movie and started with Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. It was actually really well done for an anime in 1986. 10/10

Been seeing this graph a lot today. Is this even the right metric to measure if divorce rates have been high through these periods? Why is a marker of society?

Sometimes I open the modal to cast something and my mind just goes blank even though I had a hundred thoughts just before.

https://warpcast.com/giu/0xe099c1b2 Couldn't see this insight at first, but if I think of AI as knowledge work automation, and knowledge work is performing computation, then it makes sense that things will start to lean more towards things where the next operation isn't obvious like building trust or finding novelty.

Random thought: Although the multiverse can be argued to have no purpose, I'm not so sure that it's the same for us. In biology, there is a tendency for things to go from no-thingness to a thing. There are also irreversible decisions. This places us in a journey, and we are the heroes of it.

Listening to the competing narrative of Cal Newport’s new book Slow Productivity. A nice reminder in our obsession to have everything fast that sometimes slow is steady and steady is fast.

I always thought the obsession with treating the symptom in medicine would hit a wall when you had to gulf down a bunch of pills, but this guy showed me otherwise. He consumes over a 100 pills a day.

I went to a Catholic private school 😅, for a year. I guess there’s another level to growing up in church.

Listening to this podcast between Tyler Cowen and Peter Thiel and am wondering if the references they’re making common knowledge? Catacon? https://youtu.be/vfbndRTlsg4?si=vdBiZBLC6-Cq_GeD

Would love to read more about your perspective. After reading about Voltaire, I was better able to appreciate the connection you made in your blog at july.rocks between the late 18th century and today.
