Have definitely seen the beginnings of some sort of rise of nationalism. I was at an NBA basketball a couple of days ago and the national anthem ceremony was a lot more intense. Every screen had an American flag and there was a sort of hype video on the screen. Watching tv yesterday, I saw a commercial on some new CBS show about boot camp (but in a playful funny way) Small things for sure, but definitely feel some sort of determined rise to nationalism happening.

If you know you are going to deadlift — have that be the last lift in your session. Set the table with accessory movements and movement prep for all the muscle groups you’ll use in the deadlift (feet, hamstrings, quads, core)

TIL that William Herschel, the ICS officer who first introduced fingerprinting as a formal contract identification method in Calcutta 1858 was the grandson of the William Herschel who discovered Uranus in 1781. The interesting thing was that somebody had to figure out that fingerprints are not just unique but stable over time, required for use in long-term contracts. Uniqueness alone was known since antiquity in China and use for authentication seems to date back to like 200BC, but the long-term stability seems to me to be the key insight since it’s not obvious, given how much we change physically over a lifetime https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerprint#History Also, not many people know this but the modern fingerprint classification system used in criminal detection was initially developed in Calcutta. This should be considered one of the founding events of modern cryptography. The og hash function. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Classification_System

Happiness is fleeting, only coming in moments. Honor is something more sticky, something you can build and carry with you

Never heard of these kinds of museums, I would love to visit them. It feels like these next few years have the potential to change a lot of human history for better or worse and we need to be careful.

ohh that’s a fun thought I feel like it true. I was thinking about myself at least (I am 30). There is only so much time we have. As we get older we focus and specialize on things (work, hobbies, 30 second TikTok videos) and maybe ideologies eventually follow that same path and get more specific just following behind over time.

On the flip side, we saw ETC get 51% attacked over and over again and did little to its price
