For the last two months I've been sleeping for 4 hours a night, thinking about Matthew Walker's "Why We Sleep".

130 hours of writing and research and 6000 words later: guzey.com/books/why-we-s…
to people wondering why I care so much about some pop science book: it's already cited a lot and its myths are already being propagated within science in respectable journals
new appendix -- potential misrepresentation of academic credentials

the curriculum for my future children (I'm 100% serious):

ages 0-10: English, Russian, Mandarin, RTS + FPS videogames. No math.
11-16: only academic requirement is to spend time working on something you find stimulating and learning *something* + have to write reports on what you find about your interests and the type of work you like.
+ have do one sport at any point in time (whichever like most) and try at least one sport every 3 months until tried 10-15 different ones
+ have to do one skill-based class dancing/musical instrument/etc at any point in time and try at least one class every 3 months...

1/ this essay is brilliant

"I’ve been a graduate student in physics for almost three years, but I only recently figured out why."

some highlights:
2/ "I ended up in physics through stubbornness, and an unusual willingness to suffer for the sake of grades. ... I swapped an absolute goal (figuring out how bits of nature work) with a relative one (scoring higher on tests than my classmates)"
3/ "a positive feedback loop that encouraged me to spend ever-increasing amounts of time on my work ... As my desire to excel academically grew, I spent greater amounts of time in and around the physics department. The more time I spent there, the greater my desire to excel."

1/ Ignore any paper based on self-reported data guzey.com/statistics/don…
2/ “60% of the “vegetarians” reported having eaten meat within the last 24 hours.” businessinsider.com/survey-60-of-s…
3/ “Administrative records matched to commonly-used surveys (ACS, SIPP, CPS) show that among actual food stamp recipients, 23-50% report not having received these benefits.”

Watching the Bread Video. There's some questions I have that I want answers to and I suspect its what other people want to know as well.
I'll try and summarize every four-to-five minute beat, and I know many have commented already on the length. The tremendous video length certain youtubers do was certainly a common joke, I'd say I have no idea how Carl of Swinton did it except I sadly did watch his videos.
I go back to college in three days so I'll be watching this on screen while finishing up my semester one coursework that needs to be handed in on the 6th, 9AM sharp.

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."
