Here's my first post on the platform:

If there's just one advice I could give my younger self, it'd be to keep a diary, and to do so consistently throughout my life, not just when I feel like it.

> "Like my cat, I often simply do what I want to do." This was the opening sentence of Derek Parfit's philosophical masterpiece, Reasons and Persons.…
> However, there was a problem. Derek did not, in fact, own a cat. [But], the sentence would clearly be better if it was true. To resolve this problem Derek drew up a legal agreement with his sister, who did own a cat, to the effect that he would take legal possession of the cat while she would continue living with it.

Fossil fuel combustion is driving indoor #CO2 toward levels harmful to human #cognition https://eartharxiv.org/b8umq/

letters the english language should use (again):
å: replaces aw where it is pronounced /​ɔ/, strå
æ: replaces ae where it is a diphtong: æsthetic
vowels with trémas (ä, ë, ï, ö, ü, ÿ): denote syllable boundaries where needed: coin vs coïncidence
þ, ð: replace voiceless and voiced th respectively: þree, ðis

When I think back to my school days, it just feels like a huge waste of time.

Sure, we've been taught a ton of things during that time, but imagine how much more you could have learnt with the right support... with someone who would actually listen to _your_ questions, instead of just going through the subject materials? What if someone actually fostered your personal interests and talents?

Of course that wouldn't scale, but with kids being so eager for knowledge, it just feels like lost time.

Personal action to reduce #CO2. What people belief and that’s fact, see here:

"How to read statistics"

Every time a state makes riding motorcycles without a helmet illegal, the number of ER patients seriously injured in motorcycle accidents skyrockets. Every single time.

When you phrase it just right, it makes it sound like it's more dangerous to ride a motorcycle with a helmet than without one.

Of course, the reality is that before those laws, those patients were going to the morgue, not the ER.
