I’ve taken B12, Magnesium and Zinc together for stress now and again (before a dental visit, etc). I stumbled upon the combination years ago when experimenting with vitamins and noticed a dramatic improvement in my thinking and feeling. Earlier today I was feeling miserable. hot and cold sweat, couldn’t stand fabric on my skin, taking it off did not help. Laying skill was not helping, nothing at all. Not sure how to describe emotions beyond miserable although a few times I asked myself “is this sadness? I don’t know”. Thought it had to do with the yucky humid weather maybe? Wasn’t sure. But somewhere I remembered B12 and Magnesium. I skipped the zinc this time as an experiment and did b12 and magnesium. About 20 minutes later, it was like a light switch clicked on and I felt functional again. Oddly dramatic. Any ideas?

I connected what was interesting to me using Wikipedia categories over a period of a week or two. After reaching about 1400, I stopped adding new ones. Since then (the past week or so) I’ve been organizing and re-organizing the resulting graph (how the hyperlinks are all connected to each other) in various ways. It uses graph theory or network theory but I don’t have to really know that stuff: just what it’s trying to do. It has a feature: “Auto-group” where it can take a bunch that are together and figure out which things are closest together and it bunches them up. Then I can figure how who is dominant in that group and make a folder out of it. I’ve been folding them up into folders, then unfolding them all and trying it a different way.

… [read full article]You grew up in a family that were entertainers and musicians. Can’t underestimate the impact that has on perception. I have an equivalent: for me, the notion of office work or small business ownership was “no big deal”. “it’s easy” because that’s what I was familiar with. I learned to touch type quickly young. I understood how corporations worked and how to navigate things, etc. Yet I’ve talked to others that were deathly afraid of the whole thing. Businesses were big things. Impenetrable fortresses. I was like, “Just talk to the secretary, say x y and z and you’ll get an appointment”. So, I’m thinking it might be a case of that. I didn’t know anybody involved — and growing up I was always the outsider person. Scholarship kid. Only kid with [x], the best at [y], Always put on stage to perform when I didn’t want to but I did it out of duty.

One of the things I’ve enjoyed about seeing the messaging coming from General Mark Milley and other US military leaders (at the higher levels) has been a rather Star Trek-ish futuristic view of the US military. When he was being criticized by the American Right (he still is), I was surprised at some of the things he was saying; mocked as “wokeness” with Russian memes coming out showing Russia as tough and US as weak (with the American Right agreeing – again – with the Russians memes) yet to me they sounded how they should sound, considering his position and level of responsibility. The messaging that came out of the head of the European something that was in charge of overseeing the evacuation of 122,000 Americans and allies from Afghanistan over a 17 day period had that exact same flavor, a very familiar tone that I’d rarely heard from in leaders and was pleased to see it coming from high ranking military officers – as they’re absolutely responsible for the lives and well being of hundreds of thousands of people on a daily basis. Well, I looked up General Milley’s age right now. He was born in 1958. He would have been between 8-11 years old when Star Trek was on the air, the civil rights battles were likely in the news daily as he grew up; the specter of fighting a losing battle with Vietnam So that very Star-Trekian view of military (Enterprise was a military craft that was geared up for science) showed and I think that’s why. My opinions of military haven’t changed but there’s a right way to do things when you’re in charge of the well being of hundreds of thousands of people and I don’t expect perfection, but it’s nice to see an improvement, at least somewhat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Milley
