Mags thoughts

AI is shifting work patterns but not significantly change time spent in meetings.

Empty time has the potential to be filled with great things.

"No note is in the wrong chord, it just hasn't found where it's going yet."

new beginnings mean new failures. embracing failure to enable growth.

curiousity almost killed the pigeon
imagine going down a grate and falling down a chimney and being stuck for however long, then to be grabbed by some random people and then thrown into the wind
away away away pigeon

to what extent are addictive behaviors hereditary and how can we quantify this?

fast, then slow, then

the blandest porridge provides the most solid nutrition.

confirming biases previously thought disproved is the worst type of cognitive dissonance

Adam and his wife were both naked and they felt no shame.
[Until] they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

If [the] creation is divine, is the reason we don't participate is that we are afraid to be naked?

Is the tech industry's creation of new habits among consumers a increase in addictive behaviors?
Or is it just replacing previous behaviors
Were humans in the past equally addicted, stuck in habit loops, as humans of the 2020s?
Were they just not constantly measured and aware of their addictions?
Were the things they were addicted to less harmful because the harmful things were less available/capitalized/weaponized?
Has the internet's pervasive entry into every day absolved the possibility of societal/taboo-regulation of addictive behaviors?

free trials are for expensive things
pay as you go are for affordable things
so if your work is expensive/high-value you should offer a free trial?

If focusing on others is a good strategy for personal happiness
Is "helping other orgs succeed" the best strategy for professional success?

Is vanlife sustainable?
How do we measure it?
How to show that it is better or worse?

insurance but single payer. how would it work. how would it not?
Naively I think it'd be cheaper.

if taking the holistic view is the way of god
and the god is enlighthened
how much suffering can be avoided by taking a step back

being unhappy is extremely inefficient
if the sick man only wants one thing, and the healthy man wants 10'000 things, should we cultivate sickness? or addiction?
Corrolary: how much stress can be avoided by just executing? Analysis by paralysis begone

Of all the things I know, which do I know-know and which do I think-know?

Friction / Art / Surplus / Time -- FAST
or
Kunst / Overskud / Gnidningsmodstand / Tid -- KOGT

beginnings are only extra important if there is no way back
there is usually a way back

if the optimal amount of fraud is nonzero, does that go for all crime as well?
Is there an economical equilibrium that allows for [some] fraud but not for human trafficking?

i wonder if people are more addicted now than before
did we always exhibit addictive behaviors or did it show as a compulsion
has big tech fucked a whole generation to be more susceptible to addictive substances (opiod crisis)

the economic situation from the last couple of days have made movies like the Matrix and Fight Club seem much more _relatable_. Are we re-experiencing the 2000s?

hva er det som holder folk fra å delta i offentlige samtaler? Hva er det som holder folk fra å poste ting på internett?
er det som stopper oss fra å kaste oss ut i det - er det "bare" janteloven eller er det noe dypere

en blodbank er som en pensjonskasse for blodceller

hosting dinners is the best part of living in a city with friends as an adult

llms change the internet as we know it. but will we be able to augment human cognition with it

why aren't we subsidising collective living more if it is shown to be better for the environment and wellbeing?
