I just fell down a deep rabbit hole exploring polyvagal trauma experienced by people who were homeless on Christmas Day. I’ve had two December 25ths with no special meals or celebrations. Dark memories of emptiness that would have been worse if homeless.

I have discovered that I was better at reading 40 years ago when I annotated print–before I could scroll content. Gonna get better after reading paulgraham.com/read.html

We are surrounded by many machines whose real thinking we do not know. How do you build restraints into machines? – Henry Kissinger Why artificial intelligence is now a primary concern for Henry Kissinger www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

We “recycle” a 90 litre bag of clothing every month. I doubt most of our discards are worn again. If our polyester clothing ends up in a landfill the polyester could take as much as two centuries to biodegrade. Research shows that 66% of discarded clothes end up in landfills each year, …
