4/5: A woman’s “supportive” comment may actually be sabotage. She says: “You look great with short hair” She means: “You look worse with short hair - but in comparison I look better, so you should cut your hair short”

3/5: All 80+space car parks in #Korea must have #solar canopies/carports. ~150~200kW each, so ~200MWh per year. There are ~10k of these. The average residential property uses ~4MWh per year - so this could power half a million homes.

New national law will turn large parking lots into solar power farms

2/5: Actually a really interesting conversation. If the bulk of what he claims is true - although that is a big if - the world is in an even worse position than even I expected. Regardless, undoubtedly an era-defining bloke.

5/5: The usual advice about asking deep questions and allowing emotions and weirdness. But also: assume everyone is constantly battling anxiety and worries.

4/5: #Google allegedly mostly shows ads when someone is about to buy anyway, meaning they can say “look, we made you a sale, buy more ads!” when in reality they just cheered someone on from the finishing line and then ask for the medal.

3/5: There’s a pretty clear correlation between being religious and hating homosexuals. I thought religion is about love?

3/5: Trauma has become fashionable, a scapegoat, and an excuse. Maybe you don’t need to go hunting for what's wrong with you. Maybe, just maybe, you are okay. And that’s okay.

2/5: Beijing/Shanghai are $52. London is $322 - and it’s not even the highest. It's no surprise European countries are struggling economically - industries such as manufacturing and AI are basically unaffordable.

5/5: Good list. Many things in life are simpler than we like to think. Some interesting learnings, too, e.g.: Our subjective feeling of sleepiness levels off, but our ability to function continues to decline.

3/5: I’ve just found this podcast, and it has a bunch of interesting episodes. A note from this one: In the UK, being “pro business” is actually being pro big corporates, not pro small businesses and startup.

5/5: We now know more about what's happening the other side of the world than we do our own town, due to news. This is bad - ruins communities and emphasises the negative.
