Climb a challenging, literal mountain all by yourself and I guarantee you’ll return a philosopher.

Why is Iron Man called Iron Man and not Fe-Male?

It’s humbling to find out how vulnerable we are. If our eyes can deceive us so easily, imagine what our minds can do.

This photograph is black and white picture. An artist has drawn some colour lines through it. The human brain is filling the rest of the colours even though they aren't there. zoom in look closely.
We tend to fill in using the availability heuristic which is a cognitive bias.

If you’ve been fortunate enough to do well this year, consider joining me and @VitalikButerin by donating at the addresses below.

But if all you have is Twitter, help spread the word. For every RT, I’ll donate another $50 to fight COVID in India, up to $100k. #cryptovscovid

Half of the humans live in fear of the other half for at least half of their lifetimes. As a species, we’ve clearly got some work to do.

If you were alone on the planet, with no one to compare yourself to, what would you do?

Extending our mandatory mask policy is the right thing to do. Help keep yourself, your driver, and the next rider safe. No Mask, No Ride!

Re-read this piece today and was reminded of the importance of evolving the role of governance/law as business models evolve. Wondering how this would apply to the gig economy..

Natural discrimation or man-made? Or perhaps a lethal combination of the two 😔

[Matt Shirley @mattsurely]

Feels like we aren't hearing enough about this. These numbers are crazy.

The profound articulation of racism and privilege is what truly differentiates the recent events. I hope this is a turning point.. #BlackLivesMattter

George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.

[Shimul Sachdeva @shimulsa]

Wow! How is pricing for medical tests determined? 🧐 I wonder what other countries are charging..

[Shimul Sachdeva @shimulsa]

Great to see growth in the health tech space, especially in these trying times.
