I personally think we’re on the slope of enlightenment - quantum computing no longer attracts as much hype as it used to, but in the background, there’s a lot of interesting developments that genuinely might be very important.

Metaphysical means that it’s beyond the bounds of normal physics - stuff like ghosts, spirits, religious stuff, etc. Basically, you can cover a lot of hokey with it.

This some sense, but not that much sense - it doesn’t matter if your country has a hundred thousand people or a billion, there’s only so many events, and a maximum number of athletes per country per event that can be sent.

Dieticians recommend drinking as much water as you think your body needs (if you feel thirsty, drink water) - people in environments with less sweating will need less water than those in environments with high sweating, not to mention dietary sources of water.

The memes from 2020 are a gold mine of relevant thoughts and ideas

 

Personally, Gaza and his anti-railway workers union action was enough to destroy any credibility he had so far.
