Rishi Sunak stumbled when a BBC presenter asked him what he spends on a loaf of bread: ‘We all have different breads...
A non-isolated system is permitted to decrease its local entropy as long as there are larger offsets elsewhere.
noted.
if you lie completely still, the cost of living is around 1500 kilocalories per day – the amount of energy it would take to heat eighty litres of water from tap temperature to that of a scalding bath. Most is spent on homeostasis, the processes by which our bodies stay more or less exactly as they are. Homeostasis is sometimes used as a way of defining life itself: living beings can maintain steady internal states despite changeable external conditions.
1500 calories a day for lying perfectly still?! that's an outrage.

Oliver Bateman’s 12 Rules for Life: The Second Half
Oliver Bateman’s 12 Rules for Life: The Second Half
The rest of what you need to know to ensure you’re always here for it, ready to do the work. || Oliver Bateman
Rule #8—Watch events unfold in your life as if you’re your own ghost: Here’s a good one, especially if you’re tired of those boring premium TV shows starring half-pretty minor league actors still awaiting their call to appear in a superhero movie franchise. If you’re looking for a gritty, true-to-life show that ambles along in a directionless manner, look no further than your own miserable existence. If you watch the day’s banalities unfold like a Flannery O’Connor or Donald Barthelme story, even the most inane story becomes infused with the sublime.

De vijf beste (historische) Boekenweekgeschenken volgens Onno Blom
De vijf beste (historische) Boekenweekgeschenken volgens Onno Blom
Onno Blom selecteerde voor u de vijf beste Boekenweekgeschenken die zijn verschenen sinds 1932.
De enige eis: dat de tekst redelijkerwijs in 96 pagina’s kan worden afgedrukt (6 katernen van 16 pagina’s). De maat blijkt geen sinecure. Een novelle zit tussen roman en kort verhaal in, tussen tafellaken en servet.

Thomas Piketty Thinks America Is Primed for Wealth Redistribution - The New York Times.pdf
Thomas Piketty Thinks America Is Primed for Wealth Redistribution - The New York Times.pdf
All wealth is collective by nature in the sense that it relies on the work of hundreds, thousands, millions of engineers, technicians, the accumulation of knowledge. Then, private property is a social construction that we invent in order to organize economic and social relations. It’s a very useful social invention as long as you keep under control how much you can accumulate, how much power you can concentrate, etc. But none of these assets are their assets. They are a product of a collective process. No one invented anything by himself or herself.

​“Try Again. Fail Again. Fail Better.”
​“Try Again. Fail Again. Fail Better.”
To what writer, besides Ayn Rand, do the business-minded techies and tech-minded businessmen of 21st-century Silicon Valley look for their inspiration? The name of Samuel Beckett may not, at first, strike you as an obvious answer — unless, of course, you know the origin of the phrase “Fail better.” It appears five times in Beckett’s 1983 story “Worstward Ho,” the first of which goes like this: “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” The sentiment seems to resonate naturally with the mentality demanded in the world of tech startups, where nearly every venture ends in failure but failure which may well contain the seeds of future success.
First the body. No. First the place. No. First both. Now either. Now the other. Sick of the either try the other. Sick of it back sick of the either. So on. Somehow on. Till sick of both. Throw up and go. Where neither. Till sick of there. Throw up and back. The body again. Where none. The place again. Where none. Try again. Fail again. Better again. Or better worse. Fail worse again. Still worse again. Till sick for good. Throw up for good. Go for good. Where neither for good. Good and all.

There is something bizarrely hypercapitalistic about this urge to hone ourselves into our highest form. Don’t get me wrong: I do not object to capitalism when it offers me a wide range of soups in the local Tesco. But I am rather less enthused about capitalism when I am the product. Or perhaps this is not a capitalist but rather a quasi-religious instinct. Recently 89 per cent of users of the dating app Hinge declared that they would be more likely to go on a second date with someone who mentioned on the first date that they go to therapy. The message is a primitive and primal one: you are a fallen sinner, and by your efforts you will know redemption.
