1/ Love this...
2/ Anyone who tells you to ‘be in the moment’

Please have them consider this:
3/The one + only thing I know for sure (for me not all) is the MOST fulfilling thing one can do in life is find the right partner who you love & loves you + create little lives who love you + you cannot help but love unconditionally

Memento Mori—and don’t mess it all up.

1/
The reason this kind of hate is pernicious?
It leads to human SUFFERING

From orlando shooter to hypocrite preachers ~Ted Haggard

1/ Some computers––(including by loose analogy our own minds + metacognition)––cant compute beyond constraints of the system or layer they were intended to compute w/o glitching.

Just as people of Flatland can't percieve 3D space
Or David Foster Wallace's fish can't grok water
2/ As it relates to that RECURSIVE hole of thinking about thinking about thinking––there is VERY interesting science on pros + cons of self-reflection.

I believe meditation works in reducing anxiety etc NOT b/c it pulls you deeper into yourself but b/c it pulls you up––SHALLOWER
3/ Here are some papers to...reflect on self-reflection (but not too far;)
nature.com/articles/palco…
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… (self-reported study)

Cristalline parole di @adam_tooze sull’assenza di significato economico dell’attuale discussione tra la Commissione e l’Italia. Una corsa folle in cui #Ue forse vincerà ed il giorno dopo si renderà conto di averci portato fuori dalla #UE. #thread
nytimes.com/2018/12/05/opi…
In qualsiasi modo finisca, quindi anche se Italia cedesse, le conseguenze politiche di questa disputa si riveleranno disastrose per l’Europa che si è messa a giocare un gioco pericoloso.
La pretesa della Commissione di chiederci tagli di bilanci fonda sull’assunto che il nostro Paese è in fase espansiva, quindi può sostenere dei tagli. Tutto ciò è in palese contraddizione con la realtà.

Just read the NYT interview with @elonmusk. It's good. Read it.

Few thoughts (brief thread)...
nytimes.com/2018/08/16/bus…
No one knows what it's like to be Elon Musk except Elon Musk.

The guy meets most definitions for genius and has absolutely contributed to the evolution of the universe.

With that said, there is a pattern of temperament behind someone with the kind of drive Elon demonstrates...
It's a temperament that refuses to be content. In reductionist terms, it is someone who is insensitive to dopamine (desire neurochemical) and therefore needs TONS of it to feel good.

This temperament often underlies *greatness* in intellect, the arts, athletics, and creativity.

What is so off about this whole-issue @NYTmag piece on climate?

Let me share a few initial observations (thread).

nytimes.com/interactive/20…
2. First of all, some praise: It's great (and rare) to see an outfit as prestigious as @nytimes devote this much attention to climate change, to foreground the planetary crisis with the emphasis it deserves.
3. As someone who began covering climate change in 1990, shortly after the events described in the piece, it's great to see this critical period of failure spotlit.

We're entering the last decade to ward of planetary catastrophe now because of the failure of leaders to act then.

A story of how changing times and preferences lead to the decline of a local business - #thread

The oldest memory I have of using fountain pens goes back to std. 5 in school. Till std. 4, we were made to use pencils and I absolutely hated using them because you needed to press hard on the paper for the writing to be fairly dark and legible.
So imagine my joy when we were finally allowed to use pens in school! My mother had bought me and my cousin some beautiful fountain pens on her trip to Mumbai in the summer vacations.
