   Something made in a factory is less likely to be good for you than something made by a tree and stone tools. The industrial age has brought many good things and many bad things. To acknowledge the bad things is not to discredit the good thi

   For me, the standard is: if the material was used pre-industrial age, it's far more likely to be "safe". Any person could overintellectualize this point and find exceptions. But it's just common sense.

   Europe is a great place to start. I did the Camino de Santiago the year before going to China and that was what gave me the courage to go to China. I'd love to hear an anecdote of your own!

    My next goal was Panzhihua, in Sichuan province. I hitched a ride (I can't remember where) with a group who invited me to a party. I was 21 and they were like late 20s. I graciously accepted their invitation, on the condition that they

    I studied Chinese for 2 years in University and hitchhiked mainland China in 2019. A common misconception is that Chinese "makes more sense" because many characters look like what they mean. So you can guess what a new character m

    Fascinating quote I found on his wikipedia page: "It must have been late 1941 or early 1942. Jews were required to wear the Star of David and to obey a 6 p.m. curfew. I had gone to play with a Christian friend and had stayed too late.

    I wonder if there's some way to stream the GPT-4 response into the text to speech api and then stream that voice to the user. I don't think OpenAI's TTS API allows this, but if there were some API that could do this (or self-
