Just interesting news to me.
Most often that not, exercising will not help reducing anxiety. This might tells why. We should, maybe, take it more lightly.
“So apparently all of that exhausting, red-faced, full-on push-push-push I had been doing had given me only a 4 percent boost. I could just take it easy and get 96 percent of the results. ”

“Traders are eying bitcoin (BTC) derivatives contracts that are set to expire at the end of the trading day. ”
I think the sun is the real boss on earth and he is in the process of taking a break, so watch out.
“The Sun is at the heart of all Earthly catastrophes, not Man and his inconsequential activities. Man plays about as much part in the grand climate cycles as ants on mound of dirt — we can shift that dirt; ravage the local environment even; completely alter our surroundings, but we have no say in the multimillennial will of the cosmos.”
We are probably not the only planet to have been bombarded by meteorites, so maybe that is the universal way of creating life. I also read somewhere that comets were the primary source of water to our planet.
““Materials needed for the start of life may have been generated over long periods, offering a chance for life to appear,” said Yoshihiro Furukawa, an associate professor of geochemistry at Tohoku University.”
I think this is interesting;
“Water (H2O) and other volatiles (e.g. CO2 and sulphur) that are cycled through the deep Earth have played a key role in the evolution of our planet, including in the formation of continents, the onset of life, the concentration of mineral resources, and the distribution of volcanoes and earthquakes. ”

How is it that we ended up with a system like this?
“Hospitals in the US are getting money for diagnosing Covid19. They get more money if those patients are then put on ventilators. It’s time we really started thinking about what that means.”

Reading this, I kept thinking about Alfred Korzybski’s book “Science and Sanity”. In his book, he is describing the process of abstracting in a human beings. We can only have an image of the world around us and all representations are imperfects because we leave characteristics behind when trying to “picture” the world.
He made the famous statement that “The map is not the territory”.
I think, we can only describe the micro-world (atomic and sub-atomic) with our very limited macro view. Because of this limitation, we are stuck with “strange” duality of wave and particles. That is what we “know” (wave and particles). To get an better understanding of the micro-world, we would need to get out of ourselves by using tools that are independent of our experiences . Mathematics is probably not an answer because it is only a very high abstraction of the same world we live in. We should invent a tool a little like mathematics that does not depend on our perception or view of the world.
This is the article;
“One of the weirdest theoretical implications of quantum mechanics is that different observers can give different — though equally valid — accounts of the same sequence of events. As highlighted by physicist Carlo Rovelli in his relational quantum mechanics (RQM), this means that there should be no absolute, observer-independent physical quantities.”

A few months ago, I came across one of the most extraordinary papers I have ever read.
In testimony before a Congressional Committee, it has been asserted that a prolonged collapse of this nation’s electrical grid—through starvation, disease, and societal collapse—could result in the death of up to 90% of the American population.
According to the paper, the grid could be knocked out either by solar storms or by EMP attacks. Solar storms are common.
