🚴 Aditya That sounds interesting! How are you finding it?

Mihail It's the most well written biography I've ever read. It's less about Lyndon Johnson than it is about the US Senate and american history. The author spent decades doing research for the books (4 part series) and he won two Pulitzer prizes.

🦄 Chip Uni I've been suffering worse from depression. My hopes for my birthday -- a longish travel through South America -- have been blown away. I haven't been able to meet friends. An annual convention I founded won't meet physically. So, it's been tough. But I'm doing what I can to keep my spirits up.

Mihail Thanks for sharing. I wish you the best!

🦄 Chip Uni What (if anything) do you listen to while you're programming, or doing work that requires a lot of concentration?

Mihail Anything instrumental that can move to the background once in 'the zone'. If I like the music too much I never get around to beginning the work. Be Svendsen does the trick for me.

John Noble Ben Rhodes' "The World as It Is" should be mandatory reading. I've never been so illuminated to the ways of politics. The playing off of interests to get even the smallest thing done. So when people say "they haven't pledged to end all wars" it's like, yeah. Impossible, I'm afraid.

Mihail Yes, it should be!

🐢 Xia Do you know the feeling of sometimes feeling alone in the world despite family and friends? What do you do about it?

Mihail Sometimes. I'm still figuring it out.

😾 Oskar Wasn't there some Taleb essay about 4% of population being extremist enough to make whole nation extremist? Seems very intuitive if thought in context of network science. Explains why Twitter turned into pretty much private network of already well connected people.

Mihail Yes. It's a recurring theme in his books.

Mihail Actually, it's a sign that the site was made outside of USA.
