  • Start listening to Dr Michael Greger. You’ll thank yourself at 40.

    When making your worldviews, difficult as it might be, consider listening to the news from original source. Say, for China related stories, look up Chinese publications, translate them to a couple of other languages you know. Ask yourself what each narrator or writer wants you to think and do after listening to their side of the story. This habit will make traveling a better experience in many ways.

    Write a journal everyday. Write a meal and snack journal everyday and include any alcohol, drug as well in it. Review them every now and then. Never miss any vaccine. The journals will come in handy for everything from planning weight loss, effectiveness of any diet or exercise, sicknesses, mental health issues, to helping your doctors help you better. Course correction will get simpler and ever easier.

    If you ever think of kids, do consider stopping with one. This boiling, frying planet we have made ourselves need not be inflicted on any more than one little one of yours.


  • Tangential answer. Consider looking into Prolog, Picat, Mercury languages. You can effectively let the database design be taken care of by the language. In return you get more time to reflect on your knowledge base and ask it all sorts of questions and get a range of possible answers.

    Org-roam and its web cousin webnotes both have solved designing the database for note taking purpose using g sqlite as a back end. Good options.








  • Three diets come to the mind. Mediterranean, Atlantic, Mormon diet as it is designed and followed in America. Followers of these diets tend to live healthy and long. What the three diets have in common is, each of them is local and seasonal to a large extent.

    Local and seasonal. Eases the transportation load and refrigeration load. Both contribute to what you refer to as good for the planet .

    Perhaps letting every region design and foster its own local and seasonal diet is a good idea.

    That brings us to the food industry. How may we escape the sales and marketing armies of the food industry? A great challenge indeed.








  • Been a few years since using Emacs extensively. From memory, IRC is a good fit for what you are after for texts and some emojis. No clue regarding multimedia messages.

    If IRC is acceptable

    Make your own channel on say, Libera chat, set your own rules for how long those messages are retained. Make a user for each of your devices. You are set. I’ve used ERC a few years under Emacs. Also used GNUS for reading and writing emails from the big providers.
