Mind Cravings: Why Your Brain Sabotages Every Diet You’ll Ever Try by Kate Ego
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

This was probably one of the worst books I ever read.
My expectations were way higher. I expected to find out more about the cravings and the science behind them. But there was no science. Just the author’s categorisation of people’s (over)eating habits. She didn’t even provide well-reasoned advice on what people from each category should do to help themselves.
Don’t bother, there are tons of other similar books way more worth the money.

Climate crisis pushing polar bears to mate with grizzlies, producing hybrid ‘pizzly’ bears.- The Indipendant Climate change shouldn’t make you laugh, but pizzly bears? C’mon!

You should never apologise for what you did or said. But for that to work you should think twice before doing or saying something.

The Santa Clara County Office of Education hosted an ethnic studies training wherein the presenter told teachers to be “extra careful” about parents seeing the material being used to teach children. This is from California, USA. And most people probably know the political situation in this country. But if you disregard that context and apply it to your country (considering you live in a functioning western society), this message should be very much worrying.

Question of the day after discussion with my wife – how to focus on one thing (which is a logical thing to do)? When you have a lot of ideas and some of them you know would be more fun to work on. And some you know would be more beneficial (financially) to work on in a longer term. How to choose one? And also, you know that writing, exercising, doing some leisure activities, etc., would also beneficial to you but would take your valuable time. So, should you sacrifice those activities for the sake of that one main goal?

The best country to live in should be with most people coming in for tourism reasons and the least people leaving for economic reasons. Or to be exact, with the highest ratio between these two groups.

I am starting this new thing here. It’s very often hard motivation to write something (you can notice that from the amount & frequency of my posts). And this is mainly because writing an article feels obligatory of some minimal length and very often I can’t think of enough material to write about, even if I have some insights about something. So this is meant to be less stringent – even one sentence is enough. Later it might transcend into full-length article. Or say, one thought might be combined with others and also become a longer piece. I called this tweeter because it should serve similar purpose and I don’t have a twitter account. I did, but I cancelled it (I might write about this later). Also, it doesn’t mean I will keep these posts under 280 characters(look, even this one is already way beyond that). It just means this category is for underdeveloped thoughts and ideas. So, here we go.
