Agreed. And digging down to the social layer beneath it all, the network effects created by the community that coalesces around these projects is what drives everything.
Yes, and this is probably the more important half of it. While I agree that too much or habitual over-stimulus can have a profound negative effect on productivity, without a diverse and varied body of experience, the…

It's interesting to consider how commodified music streaming has become. I'd be interested to see how many people actually have any kind of loyalty to one platform over the other, or if their choice is more reflective…
Oh yes—I should have mentioned the glossary. Thanks for calling that out—it is absolutely necessary in making it an enjoyable read. Once you get a grasp on it though, it's pretty easy to infer meaning of new words as…
I actually just picked up 'The Wake' a couple of weeks ago. There is definitely a learning curve to Kingsnorth's "shadow tongue," but once you get the hang of it, it is very immersive and rewarding to read. It really…

Going on two years of 16/8 IF myself, but I'd say that it absolutely was life-changing for me. I initially lost about 45 lbs (217 – 172) in about 10 months, but have since leveled out between 170-175. Beyond the weight…
All systems of the body follow a circadian rhythm. Following the body’s circadian rhythm and adhering to a time-restricted eating pattern (i.e. intermittent fasting) is even more important than explicitly only…
