I was guessing it wouldn’t be well received haha. However there is plausible theory in which space is filled with microscopic wormholes, forming neural network like structures in which information would be exchanged across seemingly separate objects. This could be mechanism for self organizing systems etc. or even evolution as space itself would be the platform providing feedback loops that facilitate growth and intelligence of organic systems.

It would be mistake to assume that something which appears to be a single cell is a separate from its environment. Space connects all things and if Space happens to be awareness / consciousness then intelligence would be everywhere affecting all things.

It’s interesting. Human baby is in ketosis when born, breast feeding maintains it. There is no essential carb.. Switching to ketogenic diet is cure for many health issues.

Then again, I know fruitarian who runs ultramarathons. He eats only sugar, so clearly human body can run on two different fuels very well.

Maybe we shouldn’t mix them but choose just the other? Carbs or fat. It would make sense that if there are two paths to get energy from eating, the system may not run optimally if you keep feeding both at the same time?

Sometimes procrastination means I’m not even suppose to do it. Maybe I just overheard an idea that sounded something “I should do” but there is nothing more to it.

How I hack this: I say to myself “I’m never going to do it” and there is an instant feeling if that statement is true or not. Then I either start it right away or let it go.

It would be great if every major browser would add some kind of content policy settings in the preferences. Such as how do I like my cookies.

Then web site developers could ask these preferences with API and act accordingly. Developers who wouldn’t respect these settings would get bad karma somehow.

Maybe then we could get rid of those annoying boxes that disrupt the browsing flow?

This is how I cured my social media addiction.

I turned my iPhone into pure utility device by uninstalling all the entertainment apps. I only allow music and podcasts as those don’t require my active attention.

Then I have an iPad mini at home which has all the entertainment and social media stuff installed. However I don’t have many opportunities to use that device during the day..

After maybe a week of having this arrangement I found myself being less and less interested in grabbing that iPad. It’s been few months now and I only check my socials maybe twice a week.

Also since I deleted Facebook, Instagram, Threads, YouTube and TikTok from my phone the battery life almost doubled. It was eye opening to see how much these apps drain battery even when the device is left untouched.

I’m thinking what I could offer for the world if there was no computers or even electricity. I don’t have too many ideas and this article didn’t help.

To continue working without coding, while still making use of coding skills and experience, I suppose roles like CTO or technical project lead might be suitable?

There was this super interesting new research..

https://www.sciencealert.com/alzheimers-may-not-actually-be-...

Alzheimer's may not be primarily a brain disease but rather an autoimmune disorder where the brain's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, with beta-amyloid playing a central role.

There is a growing consensus that focusing solely on beta-amyloid has led to stagnation in treatment development, prompting researchers to explore alternative theories and treatment pathways.

Also there is potential fabrication of data in a key 2006 study linking beta-amyloid to Alzheimer's and the FDA's approval of aducanumab, which has faced criticism for its incomplete data.
