Gabriel finished reading Linked by Albert-László Barabási
This was very informative for me at the beginning when author unveils the powerlaw. The second half was less informative but was an enjoyable exercise of extrapolation that both helps to fixate concepts and flexibilise notions we already have. Overall a good pop science book

loppear reviewed Determined by Robert M. Sapolsky
two or three very good chapters
3 stars
Lighter and more liberally uplifting than I expected, though not all strong, the late chapters on the shifts in society as we ceased to treat schizophrenia, epilepsy, etc as personal moral failings stand out. From mostly neuroscience cases and psych experiments lens pushes at any gaps for spontaneous decision making separable from our histories of a second, an hour, a year, a millennium. Then moves into implications for society, primarily our societal morality and justice system's injustices built on individual responsibility.

Mércurie Janeai quoted A vida não é útil
Uma operação de resgate tem como intuito salvar o corpo que está sendo flagelado e levá-lo para um outro lugar, onde será restaurado. Quem sabe, depois de uma reabilitação, ele pode até seguir operante na vida. Isso partindo da ideia de que a vida é útil, mas a vida não tem utilidade nenhuma. A vida é tão maravilhosa que a nossa mente tenta dar uma utilidade a ela, mas isso é uma besteira. A vida é fruição, é uma dança, só que é uma dança cósmica, e a gente quer reduzi-la a uma coreografia ridícula e utilitária. Uma biografia: alguém nasceu, fez isso, fez aquilo, cresceu, fundou uma cidade, inventou o fordismo, fez a revolução, fez um foguete, foi para o espaço; tudo isso é uma historinha ridícula. Por que insistimos em transformar a vida em uma coisa útil? Nós temos que ter coragem de ser radicalmente vivos, e não ficar barganhando a sobrevivência. Se continuarmos comendo o planeta, vamos todos sobreviver por só mais um dia.
