I have always been a believer of innocent until proven guilty. However, nowadays it is guilty by mob rule and media assassination. Let me tackle a difficult case, since the entire world appears to be against this man. My views are based on the legal allegations, not on whether he is or isn't...

I often think that what sites someone frequently visits tells you something about that person. Mine are, in no particular order: Amazon Seller Central (for work), Chessable (for practicing chess), Trello (my kanban style todo list online app), Whatsapp (online version, so can type faster)...

I get in a muddle between inductive and deductive reasoning. One is general-to-specific, while the other is specific-to-general. So, with that in mind, I went to work on a mnemonic to help me remember them. I struggled at first, but have now come up with one and I am mightily pleased with...

I've eaten so much cake that I feel sick! I couldn't stop, because it tasted so good. Lots of butter icing on it, which I love. They should put some kind of warning label on it, like they do cigarette packets.

I have also posted about this here since his stuff seems relevant to two categories: https://themindtavern.com/community/threads/philosophers-notes-i-like-these-a-lot.195/ Essentially, he does lots of book summaries and collating of information from wisdom, health, productivity and so on. He is...

There is a great YouTube channel by Brian Johnson. He has put exceptional work into his videos and I highly recommend them for those of you who enjoy reading book summaries and collated information about productivity, wisdom, health and so on. Take a peek if you like and let me know what you...

I rarely have breakfast. What I tend to do is go to my local cafe and get a cappuccino and biscuit, or perhaps a pain au raisin (or croissant with jam and butter occasionally). What do you typically have? It seems to vary a lot depending on where you are in the world.

About 15 years ago, I went on holiday with someone I had only met twice. They won a holiday for two to Les Ges in the French alps. They asked if I wanted to go. Before you knew it, I was half way up a mountain staying in a fantastic cabin with someone I had completely fallen out with! I...

"The science is settled. Global warming is real." True or false?

There is a great book that has just been released by James Clear called "Atomic Habits". I went through a habits course of his, which I thought was excellent. Very clear and easy to understand. The following video of his is also great. Well worth watching if you want to reinvent yourself or...

I was on YouTube yesterday looking at a few recipes, since I have tired of ready-meals recently. Getting a few decent easy to create meals appealed, so I can add them to my stack, waiting to be called upon when needed. Once you find a good new recipe, it can notch up your standard of living...

I had an insight today while on the treadmill. It was about how long it takes to create a habit. So, how long do you think it takes? Then I will chip in with my insight after we have some responses.

Lengthy article on someone's experience in using Incremental Reading and what they learnt. https://bookuctivity.wordpress.com/2018/10/21/the-significance-of-incremental-reading-in-supermemo-part-i/

This had me in stitches! I couldn't stop smiling...:D

I never used to like either when I was in my teens. But in my 30's, I tried a cappuccino and thought it wasn't too bad. Now I have one every day. But tea leaves me a bit cold. What do you prefer, coffee or tea?

Amazon took down my product listings because someone said my product was counterfeit, which is hard because I created the brand and I am the only seller. Two weeks later and it is still not up and running. I have lost half a months wages on it. Now, I find that Amazon are selling through...

I got myself a contraption today, which is actually quite nifty, on first use. It is essentially a perch for my laptop. I am sitting on my sofa typing this, using it as a supported tray with legs. Then on my desk, I can use it as a raised platform for a stand up desk. They are all the rage you...

I highly recommend this movie documentary, which you can watch on YouTube. It was also on Netflix. Might still be there. I remember seeing this a couple of years ago. Very inspiring. It is about a guy with lots of health problems due to excess weight and his quest to turn it around by going on...

There has been much hype about intermittent fasting in recent years, backed up by a lot of strong science. Part of the impetus for this was a BBC documentary by Dr Michael Mosely. I remember watching it back then and there was much skepticism. But much more study has been done since then and so...

I never used to get headaches hardly ever. But nowadays, I get them much more frequently. How often do you suffer from headaches?
