I keep having this idea that 2023 might come much closer to nuclear exchange than 1962 did (if it won't happen).

One of two competing definitions of “Nature” in this context is a phantasy of how it would be without humans around. Other one is that we’re part of it. Likely it’s somewhere in between.

Had a thought recently that there’s a certain causal link between advertising and loneliness. An advert works best if it comes from a trusted source. And since inevitably it’s mostly crappy stuff which needs promotion, this erodes trust, li

My favorite place of this sort is Vasa museum in Stockholm It hosts a huge 70m warship that sank in 1628 on her maiden voyage 1.5 km into it. Highly recommended to visit. https://www.vasamuseet.se/en

Interesting how sometimes it does not matter. You meet in spacetime. I would not have relationships with my wife, who is subjectively perfect, have we met earlier in our lives. We have discussed this on multiple occasions and the conclusion

The longer I live, the more it seems that no extreme behavior, "good" or "bad", is possible without a preceding crushing trauma. It's the supercompensators that will get us to Mars, folks.

I don’t know which universe you live in, but things like Microsoft Communicator/Lync and “worked very well” do not belong to the same sentence in mine.

I know this, but whose responsibility it is to clean up this legacy construct that comes from prohibition time, has no good reason to exist today, and causes misery on both sides?

I lost a link to the study, but I read somewhere that color blindness is a feature that lets you see colors better during twilight, and lion share of it is registered in folks in more northern population (white and mostly men) where average

I disagree with “don’t estimate” part. If it’s hard, it doesn’t mean it’s wasted effort. And it’s very valuable to business to know with higher degree of precision how much things cost to develop. It depends on many things, but from my expe

Hmm, times in which you could've get mugged by grim and not really that talkative people for making too much noise at some tavern, perhaps?

I negotiated this year down to 36 hours, being 4 days of 9 hours and Wednesdays off. It’s amazing. How to do it? I think it’s one of those things you can target on purpose. Regarding my case, I have a good relationship with my superiors, I

"We need to go deeper". Many people substitute lack of meaning with "productivity". Reason being that you cannot be truly productive long-term if you don't have a why. Therefore, people copy attributes and behaviour

Five hours, I assume, is the maximum amount of time an average person can enjoy sitting in a train. With overnight trains making a comeback, there are much more possibilities. I recently enjoyed falling asleep in Central Europe and waking u

I have enjoyed them for years, I can recommend their merch and also give a slightly embarassing advice for insomniacs. If you have insomnia, find a subject that you are genuinely interested in (but not too much) and watch videos on it while
