Quantified self movement? That was sooo 2010. What happened to those bros?

Someone could write a banger essay about how the quantified self movement slipstreamed the future of people having the digital equivalent of numbers tattooed on their arms

I wrote these paragraphs about liberal capitalism and fascism in 2018. They’re from my little book on Wilhelm Reich and the psychology of fascism.

Petit quantified self du début d'année. Mails pros reçus (en bleu), mails pros envoyés (en rouge). On semble bien arriver sur un "steady state") avec environ 9000 reçus et 4000 envoyés (une fois le tri fait des newsletters, mails automatiques, spams, etc).

I introduce the concept of Homovictimus: a subject structurally split between two worlds:

I'm so eager to get that first positive response to a query on my new project. The boost that would give my self-confidence cannot be quantified... #querying #writing #WritingCommunity

Quantified Self is neat. Here's a three month chart of my resting heart rate via Whoop. Whoop takes RHR readings while I'm sleeping, that's when RHR should be at its lowest.

There are two different times when my RHR is elevated. Once while I was at […]
