    it's becoming increasingly clear to me why medical researchers had to reinvent integration in 1993

    this is what knowing anything is like! (not dissing the tweet; agreeing + elaborating). knowing about architecture means buildings are legible in a different way; knowing about plants and birds makes hikes more stimulating, playing music makes listening to it richer, etc

    It's so wild that there are people who can identify cars by sight. Like instead of “brown truck” or “grey sedan” everywhere they go they’re all “that Mazda Myopia is turning left beside the 2017 Chevy Stigmata”. It must be like seeing those colors only shrimp can see.

    Why do movies still have shots of the rolling hills and valleys. Why do movies show the resplendent beauty of nature. Why do movies portray the rushing water over reeds. Why do movies show the stillness of the forest. Not necessary. How does it serve the plot.

    it could not be more obvious that the reason certain men are getting so angry at dr ally louks is that she's beautiful and evidently they could never have her and the phd itself is emblematic of the shifting social power dynamics that explain WHY they can't get her

    ladies imagine this. it's 20 years from now. your husband still has not returned from the war. your new suitors have invaded your home and your son is useless at turfing them out. you're weaving a burial shroud so they can't marry you. one day an old beggar arrives at the door.

    Here’s the issue: if you want to find a completely traditional husband you cannot be this confident and opinionated. Like do your part here. I’m not saying that’s a good life, it’s not, but if for whatever reason you want it then I’m afraid that’s the job description.

    25-30 is such a weird age group. You have to excel in your career, find a life partner, stay healthy and save money.

    the worst part about writing code is when there's a bug you feel so strongly "the computer is wrong!!!!" but you know in your heart that you are the one who is wrong

    This is one of the best books I have read in the last 5 years. Do yourself a favour and get it if you have any interest in art, or any kind of complex relationship to the demands of the world. (link below)

    By age 50 you should have a comfortable house, a loyal gardener, two good friends, a wizard whom you can ask for information and advice, and a mysterious ring left to you by your uncle on his one hundred and eleventh birthday
