Stretching/yoga constantly. Keep the mat unrolled and while something builds, stretch.
Walking. A lot. As I’ve not been able to dance all night since COVID, I’ve started “dance walking” . It looks pretty ridiculous and keeps people guessing.
I wouldn’t discount alternative environments for stimulating latent or dorment parts of a person, but you certainly have a good point about the perennial capacity for self transformation
Nice article and all, especially the cute drawings. I don’t agree with their conclusions.
It’s pretty hard to become a surf champion if you grow up in Minnesota and stay there.
Each new “reality bubble” or “box” I created in response to different circumstances in a different environment. I changed, or rather, different sides of my personality had to develop to adapt to a different environment.
I’m not speaking as a vacationing cubicle worker, but as someone who completely reinvented himself after age 30, learned a half dozen languages, visited 50 countries usually on local peoples sofas, and then finally changed countries of habitation several times and am now a dual national and feeling both mental boxes quite strongly attempting to box me in.
The part where I agree with the author is that part in which our reality is limited by our own mental box of perception and acculturation.
Our choices and responses to external stimuli determine if we fold or adapt to new opportunities.
Will we hide in our shell or will we come out and be molded by new experiences?
Please note, the instagram vacation model is accurate and hollow as outlined by the author, I just think that they copped out with their lame trite conclusion that I have personally found to be untrue.
You would make an EXCELLENT moderator or facilitator. You gave fair shrift and explanation to the various perspectives anc concerns this thread is full of. I will happily vote for you if you ever run for public office.
Downtown Saint Paul Minnesota has the “skyway system” but I’m not sure it provides any lateral stiffening, rather more movement between buildings above street level in inclement weather
Skyscrapers are disproportionately tall for their width. This leads to the mentioned lateral movement issues discussed. The great pyramid of Giza does not have such issues due to its literal pyramidic shape with its wide base.
It would seem to me, purely based on common sense, that skyscrapers are unnecessarily tippy and flexy due to the bizarre interest in making a thin needle-like building with a small base section.
Why would we not consider simply making tall buildings proportionally wide instead of this obviously flawed tippy needle thingy?
Problems with tippy needles include: foundations and their connections to bedrock, simple physical fulcrum principles, and the obvious inability to spread forces over a larger area. It’s a bit like trying to hold a large Christmas tree up with a small stand with low mass… doomed to problems
There’s a difference between one kid, two kids, three kids, and that guy who had 150 kids or somesuch.
There isn’t an infinite carrying capacity to any planet, nor is it reasonable to have excess of a singular species for it is at the expense of others.
Some may have hurt feelings if you explain that more than 2 kids increases the population, but then “go forth and multiply” is probably not currently sound guidance, given what we now know, vs what we knew, say, 5 thousand years ago.
It was arguably bad judgment to completely finish the great grazing herds and the Mastodons but try telling that to a hungry lot of humans.
The more we come to grips with the human as another animal species, one of many on earth, the easier it is to see how our own hubris is the issue everytime.
To the person above who thought 7 billion humans above wasn’t pushing any planetary limits: while no individual human wants to feel like excess, and certainly homicide is never what is being suggested, the fact remains that a wise human race that wishes to have a healthy planet and lots of resources per capita will steer their population over generations to be healthy.
I’m rather convinced that the same way a rabbit population without predators will suffer disease if it blooms too much, that this is what we are starting to encounter as we brush with the limits of our host in terms of our reckless dominance and destruction on the only known home to life so far…
No one wants to hear about limits or rules but hey, reality called…
Except we just brought the JVM onboard, with its own headaches. The JVM is arguably as much of an obstacle to developing solutions as boilerplate in Java. You end up having to debug obscure JVM errors in production instead of sticking to Clojure. It’s also not doing any of the compiler tricks CL and schemes are noted for.
I think that you are being unreasonable. Logic gives you zero demo trial period and its price is significantly higher. Most audio software is relatively expensive, if you have any experience, which I doubt given your claim that this competes with audacity. Audacity competes with Ntrack, perhaps. This competes with Ableton or Bitwig. Go check their prices
A working recording studio will not change versions, let alone DAWs, given the non significant investment in plugins, time patching routing, probably to a physical patchbay, and hardware controllers or digital mixers that may have firmware compatibility concerns etc. Apples pace in pushing you off their hardware is many times faster than the geological timespan of pro studio upgrades.
Note that Harrison mixing consoles funded some of Ardour dev a few years back expressly to use it for their system, adding bespoke plugins etc.
it’s really a different world from electronic music production, which I’m rather familiar with lol.
Basically, if it involves in-the-box synthesis and largely programmatic sequencing it’s a different animal than a multi track audio editor optimized for comping takes.
Ableton workflow makes it clear how they are streamlining features to fit the electrónica (everything is electrónica these days, in terms of the production techniques having been appropriated by everyone else.)
And trackers and such are one of the original opinionated platforms expressly for making machine music, as Frooty and it’s ilk like Orion added audio tracks and recording features much later.
Workflow. Horses for courses. Upgrade timescales. Different animals. Can’t be everything to everyone.

I agree, and found the article funny.
