Food for thought / thought for food. Recent debates about women's health brought this Richard Dawkins quote to mind:
"Leaders who forbid their followers to use effective contraceptive methods … express a preference for "natural" methods of population limitation, and a natural method is exactly what they are going to get. It is called starvation."

Per @phil Introducing the /books scholarship: one full-ride admission into the upcoming Silicon Valley Canon course, plus:
- One free year of Readwise
- An Obsidian sync membership
This would be an amazing way to continue my open-source learning journey by modeling the process in my communities, plus sharing ideas with kindred W3 spirits, plus documenting the process on chain. Hope to participate!

When most people say, "I'm putting myself through med school" they mean, "I'm paying for it." When I say it, I mean that I am reading the 1647pp. 10.8lb Principles of Neural Science (6th Edition). We all need a user's manual for our brains.
I have a longstanding annual ritual with @ccarfi in which I click on the burning man site, get waitlisted, and don't get a ticket. Except that this year when I clicked, I apparently was caller 93 and Charlie and and and... does anyone have advice for a #burningman noob? Thanks in advance!
