“You’ve been chosen,” the spirit said.
“What?”
“Save the world, make it kinder, cleaner, safer.”
“Me?”
“Yes.”
“Alone?”
“We chose everyone.”

TIL: In Twitter’s settings page there’s a list of what they think your interests are. Here’s a sample from mine: (IDK why Castle appears 3 times on mine, I’m only following Stana Katic)
Also HS me would balk at the idea of being interested in biology

In a quiet suburban neighborhood there was a lot that had been empty for years. One morning nearby residents woke up to see that a tall and imposing black tower had appeared on the lot. It cast a long shadow over their comparatively small houses.
It had no windows, and the lone entrance was a large gray door of wrought iron. Upon the door lay a vicious carving of a monster’s head bearing a giant knocker. None dared approach the tower and they only spoke of it later.
Two days later a man in a suit arrived in the neighborhood. He walked briskly to the tower and without hesitation lifted the giant knocker. The bang of the knocker echoed throughout the neighborhood.
From their windows the residents watched as the man in the suit waited for what seemed like an eternity. Finally, the wrought-iron door started to budge, and residents swore the metal creaked loudly upon stone with an otherwordly wail.
From the darkness beyond a tall figure emerged engulfed in a hooded cloak seemingly made of even blacker darkness. The figure towered over the man in the suit and the morning sunlight showed only a hint of bluish-gray skin underneath his hood.
They stared at each other for a long while, the hooded figure and the man in the suit. Finally, the hooded figure spoke in a deep voice that seemed to reverberate across the area.
WHO DISTURBS MY REST, the voice boomed. The man in the suit held a fist to his mouth and coughed before speaking. “Sir, I’m from city hall. You can’t build a tower here, you’re violating at least three zoning ordinances!”

Decision making tip: always add an option to “be paralyzed by indecision”. Example: go out for a walk, stay home and get some more work done, or be paralyzed by indecision? Spoiler: I chose to be paralyzed by indecision and take a nap. (I did the additional work after the nap)

It’s nice that the missing girl was found before Christmas, but this might make people think that social media is a good approach for missing persons cases, but I don’t think it’s the sort of thing that can scale to handle more missing persons cases
Not every case is going to go viral, since people only have so much attention to give to such cases before they get tired of their feeds being nothing but missing person reports.
I don’t have an alternative. Obviously if a loved one is missing, you’ll try everything you can.
I think in this particular case, they got lucky that she was found, and they had contacts who were able to help the call go viral.

Think about the amount of software and AI that goes into a droid in the Star Wars universe. A droid like BB-8 has to be able to:
-
navigate (walk/roll) over any terrain
-
interface with any other system
-
repair spacecraft like X-Wings
-
have natural language processing that can understand up to billions of galactic dialects
-
make judgments as to whether people are trustworthy
-
be able to communicate and express emotion using a series of tones and beeps (surprisingly for all of BB8 and R2D2’s sophistication, no one considered adding a voice synthesizer to these models - C3P0 shows their software is certainly capable of speaking)
At this point, they’re more like Transformers who can’t speak very well (similar to Bumblebee), actual living machines (which raises the question of whether it’s ethical to be trading or selling them the way the jawas do).
We should get a Star Wars movie where it’s explained how droids are actually created by the All-Spark (directed by Michael Bay? lol)
Also, yes I did rewatch The Force Awakens yesterday

Repost from sehurlburt:
My therapist gave me homework, now it’s your homework too:
Accept negative feelings without beating yourself up or wishing they would go away
If we fight a negative feeling, it tends to last longer or get repressed & bubble up
It’s actually healthy to not be happy all the time

1/ There’s a concept known as financial compounding, but most people don’t know about intellectual compounding. Buffett and Munger employed this to great effect and to accumulate mental models such that they can make large decisions quickly. Intuition is simply reading a lot.
