Here’s another indicator of good urban design: no need to worry about people falling and, oh horror, getting wet in water. They have brains too.
True, there are never any drunk people on the streets here. And no smokers, indeed.

It occurred to me: the speed of time depends solely on the physical properties of an organism. Like the brain, eyes, ears, muscles. If we could magically enhance all these, new generations would simply live longer, altering their own time scale, and there wouldn’t be any need to do anything about aging, the sense of life itself would change. Nature has already done this for other animals: take spiders or snakes with their slowed sense of life, or even ordinary mosquitoes. A counterexample – turtles. Signals in the human nervous system travel at 300 km/h, which provides a nice margin for “optimization”.
An interesting point arises from this. Since organisms and their properties vary among different animal species, their perception of time flows at different speeds. To them, we must seem like real “turtles”. And their short lives may be no less rich in events (most of which we can’t even imagine), as ours (most of which they can’t even imagine).
I wonder why nobody has made a movie about this yet

This boring landscape is a two-story
parking lot with 2500 thousand spaces at McLean Bible Church. There’s nothing else nearby, but on the other side of the highway, there’s another Baptist church with a huge parking lot, and next to it, three smaller ones.

I listened to all 30 episodes, about 15 hours. It’s just freaking amazing how useful and interesting this video course is. If you love chess, this is exactly what you need.
I was curious, how could you possibly make a masterclass without even mentioning what level of knowledge is expected from the listener. Will they be explaining how a bishop moves or will Kasparov be analyzing champions’ games?
Neither of those. The course is about the philosophy of chess, about tactics and strategy, about how to think, how to understand chess, and everything else is available in huge amounts on YouTube.
Kasparov has excellent English, he is very passionate and enthusiastic about his topic. The course itself is shot and produced very professionally. There is very little interaction, basically, it’s just a series of videos, about 30 pieces, roughly half an hour each with some exceptions either way.
I now think very differently about my fellow countryman. After all, he once dipped into politics for some reason, and almost ruined everything)
Overall, the project masterclass.com is incredibly interesting. There are several other very tempting courses there, only they’re not cheap 😦
