Climate change how to solve it. Economic shift, Noam Chomsky.
NYT article on Giannis free throws. Just let it go, similar to taking free in football. Its all repetition and you
have to have confidence in what you are able to do. Not trying to place it in the basket. Or particular control the
exact arc of the football (in football).
Existing paths and trees should be left “History is in short supply in new developments, and interesting stories
can be woven around something as mundane as an abandoned old cart or well"
"The rural area (the “market garden zone”) surrounding the town out to a radius of one mile should be devoted more
or less entirely to food production in some form, and it should be farmed primarily by the people living in town
on a professional or hobby level “
The second belt, is the farm zone. Here I would recommend, if not enough farmers could be found, to offer the land

Initial settlers will be the builders (and needs for builders) of the town.

”when building anything, build on the least attractive part and improve it while keeping the views of the more
beautiful parts intact.”
Interesting conversation with Tyler Cowen
Increasing conformity, Tyler Cowen, with the need of smaller countries to interact with larger ones. Ireland is a
classic example but also culturally similar groupings like all Facebook workers (or Workday) etc.
Having carbon tax is probably less of an influencer than getting science and the tech world to work better as the

Signal issue blogs (penal reform etc. ) this could be part of the ‘good citizen’ thing. Still figuring out how to
meaningfully contribute 8hrs of my day is still an issue
Books overrated way to learn new things. Read more and more in clusters
A scarcity mindset as one where there is never enough. People are trying to take things from you, what they have is
what you don’t have. As opposed to abundance mindset, that there is enough and that the usefulness is derived from
others having the same.
”More importantly, it turns out that there are no wasted genuine attempts to make a contribution — even if you
overestimate your own talents and abilities in that particular area or lose long-term interest — because you learn
so much with every attempt.”
He also wanted to be a rapper.
”Just pick an area where you are excited to contribute and give it your all”
