I've been reading much more than i've been writing. Here's some of those things for ya:
Looking at QAnon in the light of a long line of conspiracy magical thinking linked to divine and religious thinking.
A dramatic, but not untrue, plea to see how Facebook fosters cognitive bubbles for people, and what it means for American democracy

The Art of limiting yourself to the Essential.
I used the lockdown to do some weight work. This minimalist's strength workout has helped.

To that end, i've been enjoying Brian Eno's "Neroli" - part of his "Thinking Music" series.
Pilots of Purple Twilight, Tangerine Dream's new box set covering their output from 1980 - 1983, has been on heavy rotation. I find most of TD hit or miss, but "White Eagle", "Dominion", and "Logos" are all solid song journies.
Fascinating Rich Roll podcast with Matthew Walker: "Sleep is your Superpower." Such an interesting exploration of what sleep is, why it's important, and how we can optimize it.
As a parent, I do what I can to avoid "punishing through rewards"
Maslow may have misinterpreted his hierarchy of needs when he adapted it from native tribes - the Blackfoot tribe in particular.
