Not a direct answer, but I highly recommend reading Outlive, by Peter Attia. It’s completely changed the way I think about these things. And it’s actually grounded in science.

Just because it’s dangerous and not always fun doesn’t make it a “mission”. Exactly like when some rich schmuck pays 150k to climb Everest.

Can we stop calling it a “mission”? This is an expensive vacation for billionaires, not a scientific endeavor.

I use World Poker. Not FOSS, unfortunately.

How do you explain that amyloid-targetting therapies are seeing some success, even if limited?

So, what’s next? A coalition of pro-europe parties? Along which line? I’m mostly interested in what we can expect in terms of environmental policy. I fear a step back…

Thank you!!!

No 😁

It’s just a funny video from LinkedIn or TikTok

It seems like a lot of people think Palestine needs to do stuff but Israel doesn’t. I’m not sure if it’s a double standard, racism, Israeli exceptionalism or what.

In my case, it’s none of that. It’s your question: “how can Palestine gain its freedom”.

Now let’s be crazy for a moment and imagine that both sides collaborate to fix the issue. I think it would be mostly the same for Israel: get rid of the lunatics, realize that Palestinians are fairly close relatives, work on forgiveness on both sides, and work on a fair two-state solution or even better a single-state solution.

Here’s my take on it:

1. Get rid of all extremists and violent factions internally (extremely hard, of course).
2. Engage in intense diplomatic lobbying, and be patient. If step 1) has been achieved, I think it would be extremely hard for Israel to resist the pressure, but maybe I’m too naive. Right now, it’s extremely easy to dismiss the Palestinian cause because of terrorism. What happened at the beginning of the conflict isn’t going to help.

Usain bolt, to some extent

I meant using your polish nickname as your official Spanish name.

How about using your Polish nickname (surely you have one?)? This would likely be easier to spell for the average Spaniard, while staying closer to your identity than going full “Gregorio González”.

Thanks for the suggestion! I will try.
