I've started taking a psyllium fiber powder several times a day, and a lot of my GI issues went away, I think I'm going to stick with it for the long term. From my reading, it's weakly beneficial in a lot of different ways.

Packers fan also. Their defense played really well against a delpleted Bucs team, and Doubs is coming into himself, which is really good to see. I was really happy to see Bakhtiari on the field again, what a long recovery.

equality, diversity, and inclusion




The E in DEI is actually 'equity', which is an altogether different concept that equality. It focuses on outcomes and historical redress, instead of opportunity.

there are a lot of psychological traits that are worthwhile besides just intelligence - honesty, conscientiousness, perseverance, a sense for fairness, and so forth.




These are all fluid in a way that intelligence is not.  I can practice radical honesty, I can force my self to be more conscientious, etc.  Intelligence is a hard limit on potential, and no such thing exists for how many lies I tell.

Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. It's literary enough to hit the checkpoints, and the story just rocks. Plenty of essays to be written about what it all means, especially during its reading before it all comes together.
