Happy Birthday to @SteveMartinToGo who shows he is better than me at giving entrepreneurial advice, too. (Comparison is the thief of joy.)

I love being an early adopter of all kinds of tech. And Prince is wise.
Here’s Prince with some words of wisdom about the internet in 1999. We should’ve fucking listened to him.

So when you hear me say it is expensive to be financially unhealthy, this is the other side of that coin…

Why open discourse in science is critical. Science has less influence if people believe the discourse is too narrow.
“[P]eople don’t necessarily believe what scientists say because they correctly sense that within academia a person can get punished for unorthodox beliefs.” Pinker on the narrowing of discourse in academia. nytimes.com/interactive/2021…
