LOL I'm currently reading Vagabonding by Rolf Potts. My dad sees it on my nightstand. "...so you're reading about how to become a bum. Why would you need to read a book to learn how to do nothing?" Note to self: words easily get misinterpreted without context.

We also went over how rhyming is a memory magnet. It works through a memory process called “acoustic encoding”—you remember something better because of its distinctive sound. Hermann Ebbinghaus (also the father of Spaced Repetition) made this breakthrough in the 1800s. https://t.co/ojTO39YcQi

"The paradox seems to be, as Socrates demonstrated long ago, that the truly free individual is free only to the extent of his own self-mastery. While those who will not govern themselves are condemned to find masters to govern over them." - Steven Pressfield, The War of Art

I was resonating deeply with this guy Bill's book review on "This is Paradise" by Kristiana Kahakauwila until I read this last sentence. The yearning for external validation is so relatable but it feels cheap. I don't like justifying that it's okay to be a victim. https://t.co/mU4d20T5Yq
