On this 22nd day of November, I bring up the concept of net neutrality, and its maintenance at the current time.

• for an internet that remains open
• so that certain sites don’t cost more than others
• so a form of a censorship doesn’t happen
• because the internet is the basis of so much that we have now

In this episode, I chose to respond to a few choice posts on the ENTP subreddit on Reddit. ENTP is a grouping of a certain personality type that I am most similar to of that personality type system. (Extroverted Intuitive Thinking Perceiving)

Here I discussed:

• whether my type does breathing
• thoughts on ego and its relation to self-esteem
• our introverted nature even though we are extroverts
• how we process and are suited for sarcasm

Glad to have you here.

Robert Sapolsky, Stanford professor of biology and neurology, has written the great book “Behave” about what causes human behavior, from the most recent moments, to far back in time. I am enjoying this book thus far

In this episode is information from chapters 1 through 4 of the book, including:

• regions of the brain and their purposes
• triggers of behavior, and subtle cuing
• impacts of hormones on behavior, including testosterone and oxytocin
• stress and its impacts on learning and fear

Hope you enjoy the material in some form as I do~

Hey all – I’m back with more from the book I have been reading and am almost done with.

In this discussion of content from chapters 5 through 8, I discuss:

• scaling of organisms in relation to cities
• how cities provide economy of scale
• how the sun relates to energy requirements
• how a larger city affects the people inside it
• levels of social connections

If you like statistical information and an understanding of complex adaptive systems, the content in Scale would interest you. As well, reading anything that might interest you is a great idea. Onward we go~
