“If you think the world is selfish and rotten, go to the cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer overlooking Omaha Beach. See what one group of men did for another on D-Day, June 6th, 1944.” — Andy Rooney

@arifkhangeo 72

@arifkhangeo Last one is 72, each time the number goes down one like a factorial, 3x4=12 12x3=36 36x2=72 so 72x1=72…

When I was just a boy growing up in Brooklyn, my parents knew very little of science. But they gave me an invaluable gift: an open door to curiosity.

​I remember walking into the public library on 86th Street, trembling slightly with a question that had consumed my mind. I asked the librarian for a book about stars. She smiled and handed me a thin volume filled with pictures of actors and actresses. I told her, politely, that this wasn’t what I meant.

​She returned with the right book. I sat down, opened the pages, and read a phrase that took my breath away: Stars are suns, only very far away.

"It's dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you're feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them."

I keep coming back to the "Doorman fallacy" when I hear about how Harvard has hired McKinsey to help it fire up to 25% of its staff without asking anyone what they actually do.

Isaac Ilyich Levitan was born in 1860 in Kybarte and, after a very short life, died at the age of forty, at the dawn of the 20th century. In two posts, we will explore his iconic landscapes. In his own words, Levitan painted not just landscapes, but the feelings they evoke.

I’m listening to a discussion on BBC about AI moving past human comprehension but being released anyway. Made me think what we actually need: water, food, shelter, clothing, a few people, painkillers, healthcare. Then books, music, physical activity, art. Did I miss anything? 1/2
