Great! I find I might be in the same situation in the future. How do you do parenting around the dinner table? Heck—how do you get dinner ready for 5?! If you can, would love to hear more! :)

You actually can't turn off notifications for it.

I've done it—and on a day when you get something like the Mueller report or the Notre Dame fire—my phone will buzz. :/

Art History. Gives you new eyes. Also...if you’re a boy—great place to meet girls. PG reccomend this and I followed and second his advice.

The best thing they could do for news is just go to a chronological timeline.

Cuts out a lot of the bullshit.

They don’t need to censor. They need to stop curating.

As someone who has the advantages described but was born in a third world country—I have a perspective that is hard to mesh with other people's opinion of my advantages. Fascinatingly—I've had my own set of difficulties that led to depression and suicidal thoughts. Many of them are family issues. The spectrum of possibilities for feeling fulfilled among humans is just fantastic. Not sure if I have good advice for dealing with the resentment—but the people who helped me get out of the depression were people who could show me that money didn't mean everything. Pretty much all of them came from a lot less. One of them was an orphan from the same third-world country. Who had her brother die in her 20's. And who died from cancer in her 30's. All the best in your journey! Reach out if you'd like. This is something I'd love to understand ever more deeply because I want to teach people to see me for who I am and finding that one thing that really means "Equality of Opportunity" if we can really achieve that.

I think a big part of this is momentum. When the majority of people were excited about cars and saw them as newer and better than bicycles, you would get treated like shit. See most US cities. When the majority of people begins to understand that cars weren't the panacea they were expecting, then you might get more respectful behavior like that in the Netherlands. Here in the Dominican Republic being a pedestrian is "for the poor." Cars rush towards you—and you either get out of the way or join the roadkill. So what happens if you turn off the traffic lights? Depends whether people cared about them and safety to begin with.

I was part of this group! It was an absolutely amazing experience.

Highlights from the article from my point of view:

> “Honestly, have we abdicated our purpose just because of these insistent micro asks?” Mr. Wheal said. “Have we just completely ceded our center, completely ceded clarity, and it was all just based on 20-something bro-grammers trying to crack our attention spans?”

> She went on: “A lot more people are saying they’re spiritual but not religious — but what does that really mean? I would say sports and movement are the most oft way we access a spiritual experience and transcend our ego, but they’re the least discussed and least understood."

Lots of us want to talk about how to get into Flow for work. Let me know if you have any questions about this or anything else. Hopefully I can clarify!

In case you're wondering, I can say is that it was truly amazing. The Flow Genome Project is brilliant.
