No.

lol like it never ceases to amaze me how differently we are all wired up inside from each other. His perspective feels depressing and counter intuitive to my own yet I don’t doubt that inside of his head for him it feels so clearly right and true.

Their POV is sadly a common one, though to be fair existence can be scary plus psychedelics do have their own pants-shittingly frightening dangers, but what sucks is how this line of thought continues to prohibition and punishment of so called users to try and make sure that no one gets to have any cool psychedelic experiences.

Go on.

There is a slowly growing awareness in the public that eating meat is unnecessary for good health, perhaps even a negative. The strain on the environment for meat farming and transportation is massive so I am all for having plant-based options which fulfill and satisfy any need for animal products. If mushroom or plant leather turns out to be better, like cheaper or more durable etc., then there will be much less demand for traditional leather and the price for milk and beef will increase and make alternatives all the more attractive.

I’m a vegan and this sort of stuff is a total win.

I’m not a fan of Sundar but I’d be way more pleased as an investor with 200bn growth vs 65bn.

Oh I’m not claiming that about MJ. He had written songs, even some of his hits, it is just that you can’t just always look at song credits to see what’s what. MJ had written some of his songs, collaborated, and also had songs written for him at different times. He wasn’t using ghostwriters as far as I know. I could have been more clear on that.

When artists buy songs they are given a credit for legal purposes (and I suppose vanity, too)

Maybe he learned that lesson with AI.

Shakespeare is taught in high school, my dude. You are a little deluded if you believe Shakespeare to be little read.

I’m quite aware that you can’t eat Hamlet.

If you were to ask 1000 English speakers what their favourite food was, the average would be some kind of fast food slop. Shakespeare is going to be sitting very pretty near or at the absolute tippity top of importance in literature for a very long time.

Thank you for that. I got my full dose of pedantry in early today. Do yourself a solid and check the book out anyways.

This is a great book for sure.

2666 by Roberto Bolano

Yeah, believe the hype. Definitely the most important novel of this century.

The story revolves around the deaths of over 500 women and children in a small border town in Mexico. Absolutely devastating read, It feels like most novels are rather silly in comparison (2666 even pokes fun at literature in general for ignoring the atrocities in Mexico.) 5 stars.

Audiobook listeners ;) get really defensive about it but think about it this way: when you teach a child how to read, what kind of image pops in your head? Are they listening to mp3s??
