What John Gruber said. Facebook is a cesspit for broken thinking. There always has been broken thinking. And unbroken thinking too: Chances are you can walk up to a wall in your dwellings, turn a knob and water will start flowing. Sometimes you can control the temperature too. That is proof that there has been unbroken thinking. That kind of thing does not just appear. It gets made by people. With specific and educated actions. Things like QAnon might resonate with feelings that people have. But they do not further man kind. There is no benefit for anybody in these kind of things.

Mark Zuckerberg has responsibility here. He built something that billions of people use. What happens to these people in his system is part of his responsibility. It will be a very sad day for him when he eventually realizes what he has done. But then again lots of people never realized how they f*d mankind.

But history will not smile on Zuck. Thats for sure.

To complete the reversed Tolstoj: and war. While Trumpies son in law finally managed to get the Emirates to say that they eventually will sign something (When you ask? In 3 weeks the man said. Those 3 weeks he always mentions when he actually means: “you are so stupid in 3 weeks nobody cares what I said today, because by then I stoked another outraged, and the media will jump all over it like a rioting prison population over a busload of catholic schoolgirls). So while 45 hammers on a peace pr event Greece and Turkey send ships into the same disputed area.

We all live in the world of Idiocracy. Since Mike Judge finished his movie the institution of the Presidency has moved already 20% in the direction of his work. Now it appears that his plot point of under age users from Silicon Valley finds a real life equivalent.

If you have to do a mundane task to do that leaves 90% of your brain un occupied ( like sorting receipts or something ) then maybe watch this video. If you click away after a minute then you miss 15 very interesting ones that you had not expected after the first minute.

I wonder how Helen Beard and Helen Beard are dealing with the fact that they are not the only woman with their name being known for making things.

Of course. Are you nuts?

Sorry, yes, there is no way 5G could have anything to do with ‘the China virus’.

An example: All items in your kitchen, like knifes, forks, pans, etc. If you sort them by color or by length does that influence how fast your car can drive? Yes, if your car keys were in the kitchen and you no longer can find them after the ridiculous enterprise to resort all items in your kitchen. Smart you are. But that is not the point: The ability of your car to reach a certain top speed has no relationship to what you do with with stuff in your kitchen.

5G is a specific protocol. Magnetic waves mean something different in 5G than in other ways. A virus has no way of being influenced by magnetic waves as 5G shapes them.

• First passenger airplane
• First communist revolution
• First object in space
• First man in space
• First woman in space
• First Covid-19 vaccine

Just a list of things where Russia was first. If this list triggers emotions, then maybe reflect why. National pride? Or an attempt to frame this list as propaganda? Are you looking at Russia without emotions?

Whatever happens with the vaccine: We will find out. Just one can find out if masks work: There are countries that used them early, there are those that still have a hard time implementing them. And there are victims. Or not.

Recently I reread Charls Duhigg’s “The Power of Habit” from 2012 and James Clears “Atomic Habits”. I liked them both. Again. They are good books to revisit after a couple of years.

If somebody would ask me which one they should read then I would think that people below 30 should read Clear while others might find Duhigg more rewarding. Reading the other respective other book is helpful too.

The things they point out are simple, true and immensely powerful. Having implemented some over the last decade (Duhigg wasn’t the first Author to point certain things out) I can attest to the fact that reading and understanding is one thing. Applying it consistently however is not as simple as it might feel. So reading about this part of our nature repeatedly and redundantly is a good thing. For me.
