Mark Manson has written two nice articles about that. Especially the second one makes a really good point.

I got a guitar neck with one of the new Pau Ferro (very attractive/ exotic looking) fretboards that they are using as a replacement for rosewood since the rosewood tree has been bumped up the list of endangered plants. Really like the look and feel of it, one thing no one told me is that about 25% of people are at least somewhat allergic to Pau Ferro. My eyes are irritated itching since rubbing them shortly after playing on said neck for an hour.

According to the companies that work with it, their employees gain a tolerance to the mild irritation after a couple of weeks, I've read the same from other sources so I will just have to play through it.

Guy is drunk at the bar I’m at and went to scream “Giovanni” to his friend from the patio balcony, but it came out GEOGADDI and my inner Boards of Canada stan SHRIEKED.

I would be so genuinely happy if I was out one evening and heard someone screaming "Geogaddi" from a Balcony nearby.

Similarly,

https://archive.org/details/TheRubaiyat ... llustrated

This is my favourite bit of poetry which has hung around me like a talisman for many years. (Particularly the lines about regret "The moving finger writes and having writ moves on, nor all your piety nor wit shall call it back to cancel half a line, nor all your tears wash out a word of it", which I sampled in one of the very few bits of music I ever finished.) But it too has much to say on living in the now, something that took me way too long to listen to myself.

Reading hardcore sci-fi has been a good treatment for my technophobia. I'm now thoroughly underwhelmed by today's tech and the slow path it's on.

The Japanese seem to have a better approach to the future in general.

Balance is fairly important, the western world doesn't really seem to collectively understand that yet
