This week is a short one, I don’t have much to say and also spent most of the week without internet (third world’s nice AMIRITE).

[podcast] #620: How to Deal With Life’s Regrets

A podcast discussing the concept of counterfactual thinking, what it is, how it affects our lives and some other things related to it.

[blog-post] Politics matters most to slaves.

In this post Luke Smith explains why he usually doesn’t talk about politics in his youtube channel or in his website.

The key takeaway from this post is that the less dependent you are on the social an economic structure of the modern society the less what happens inside of it impacts you. Here is the last paragraph from the post, the one that resonated the most with me:

Being independent, living out of the city and the Matrix, however, is simultaneously like transporting yourself back in time to when things were saner, but at the same time, transporting yourself into the future where “the system” has already collapsed and we’re already rebuilding. Be a part of it now rather than later.

[music] [bancamp] 懐かし2002津波 : ＣＯＭＰＵＴＥＲ ＨＡＺＥ

18 minutes of pure vaporwave greatness, one of those albums that you can’t listen to only once. There is not much to describe here, dreamy loops repeated to an extent that should feel tiring but never quite does, they convey a calm, somewhat nostalgic atmosphere that is a delight to be in.

This is an album that does not revolutionize the genre, but executes it so nicely that it becomes something else. In the end music is not about being the most original or unique, it is about making people feel good, this album makes me feel good and it could make you feel good too.
