They have a great “big” point here about incrementalism but also: fiber, water, and even minimal activity specifically are great first steps towards feeling better.
I suspect that a lot of us 1st-worlders feel lousy in part because we’re each paving our own way to T2D, colon cancer, and heart disease. @…

I think being an egocentric asshole as a service is finally falling flat
and people want to hear more about what real living is about.

I'm going to try the following experiment. I'm clearing ~half a day every week to plug a gap in my knowledge. To learn something I've been meaning to learn about for ages. Could be in my field (like energy based models) could be outside (like electronics).
I'll keep a running todo list of things to learn, and just pick one on the day that I feel like reading up on.

Well. I’ve been accepted to my first conference!
This will sound strange to many academics out there, but working in the fine arts I don’t generally pay much attention to academic conferences—but having had a research semester last fall I was able to do a deep dive into the educational philosophy of practice-based filmmaking education and apparently the conference organisers agree that it’s interesting!

I read that we lost the ability to stay focused reading long articles. And I believe it is partially true.
I also believe that books that could’ve been at best an article are these days 300 pages. And articles that might communicate an idea vaguely are now thousands of words long for the sake of art (and for the author to get paid as I assume filling in a site or magazine with short articles would be more expensive).

I share much of these feelings. But unfortunately some loved ones have been sucked into the Trump Cult. It is a Cult. And when a loved one is sucked into a cult you do need to try to get them out.
But if they won't leave after showing every angle of how they are being lied to and brainwashed and they still want to follow the cult and support fascism, racism, misogyny and war crimes, then they can no longer be loved ones. And maybe need to be puched since they have become a Nazi (though I’m not a very good puncher) https://todon.eu/@PaulDitz/115832636818580869
