It would great if we had a better culture around dying. My parents are in their 90s. When I get to the senior home they live and talk to people it’s pretty clear that it would often be better if people could just say “enough is enough” and

My experience is almost 50 years ago. Back then almost nobody had two cars so once dad was at work, there was no way to drive the kids to school.

"Are the only concrete examples a seven year old walking to school by themselves and wearing snow boots sometimes?" In Germany I walked to Kindergarden around one mile in any weather. Snow boots when necessary. From 5th grade on I

"but IMO it’s more dangerous than both Alcohol and Tobacco even as people claim otherwise." I could agree with tobacco but I don't believe LSD is more dangerous than alcohol. Most domestic violence, most fatal traffic acciden

Most people certainly didn't live as long. I can also imagine that a lot of people had lower IQ due to lead exposure.

I have learned over the years that there are different types of devs. Some are ok with cranking out features without regard for overall architecture and can handle the chaos of constant quick fixes over previous quick fixes. There are other

There are a lot of managers who believe you should always put a squeeze on devs and keep the org in constant panic mode. Nothing will ever be good enough. If you achieve one goal, you get hit with another crazy deadline. It never ends.

Feats and famine is actually not that bad. When I did freelance I had high intensity periods and then low intensity periods. I found that much healthier than the constant never ending medium effort often meaningless grind in the corporate w

Does anybody actually watch ads? I think it’s been decades since I paid attention to an ad.

At some point we can’t rely on ever growing populations. It may be painful for a while but at some point growth has to stop.

Totally agree. When I grew up, I was friends with the son of the richest family in town. I was once invited to dinner with them and was totally shocked they had real conversations. My family had a stable income and house but my interactions

Holotropics has been around for quite a while and some yoga pranayamas also can lead to altered states. I have to admit I find mushrooms easier to deal with.
