Why argue much about a single level of simulation when you could instead try the majesty of an infinite tower of simulations within simulations. Why would it stop at a single level…

This!

I find that when I remember, and remember to keep on focusing on a visual metaphor I have for running form and economy the perceived effort doesn't change but suddenly you're going…

In a cave on the far side of the moon. Or, encode the information to be preserved in the DNA of various types of creatures on earth who between them various different number of ind…

Agreed about Lost in Music. One of my absolute favourite songs anyway, and then Mark E Smith-ified. It's louche and grand, and rakish and whimsical. I saw the Fall 3 times, the fir…

I want to know who exactly did this, on whose instructions, and why right now.

There's a chap who can sometimes be seen driving/riding his C5 around the cycle paths here in Edinburgh. Big thumbs up.

This song was always way better than the other SAW output IMHO. Great song, endearing performance - it's not just audio of singing it's this video of cheerful Rick singing and bopp…

Remnote. Previously Zettlr and Markor. My markdown files with their links imported and worked straight away. That, plus the spaced repetition was perfect for me. Also the export to…

This might be the most valuable discussion I've ever seen on the internet. So much great information, people reaching out and connecting.

I'm very sorry. "Begin again" could well be the best advice anyone could ever give or receive.

Please do be physically safe if you do swim. Swim with someone, make it short, and read up on cold shock and "after drop".

To echo what was said above, you are not alone.

I'm in Edinburgh too :) The sky is certainly gloomy today! In case of any interest there's a swimming group through which people organise - "the wild ones" on FB. I'm going along t…

What a great article !

Running with people is even better than running alone if it's an option for you. Communities like "Park Run" and "Good Gymn" and no doubt many others multiply the benefits of simpl…

Yes absolutely - cold showering is great in the same ways. There are plenty people out there who do this every day also. Personally I prefer a cold bath to a cold shower as I like …
