I think adding a bit of curvature to the six surfaces of a regular cube can throw off many. Then there’s scale. Astronomical scales and milli or micro meter scales adds its own complexity by the simple fact that we lack regular language tools to capture the ideas and express them completely.

Where do we see curved surfaces? Everywhere from flight routes to space flight to deep sea diving.

Though I am not all tbat clear where we apply 3d geometry at micro scale or smaller, just a hunch that we may need them.

Language plays catch up. Is.

In the context of VFX/3D art jobs that you’ve mentioned, it can be that the ability to do everything on a Linux system. What that entails is beyond me. I’m far removed from the area.

Taking the stab all the same.

At a high level, can you get the software working on Linux system? Can you get the codecs and whatnot installed and working? Can you get the data to be processed prepared for working in the environment? Can you convert the processed data to the format that is friendlier for consumption on a wide range of platforms? Are some questions that pop to the top of the mind. Basically if you can run a non trivial part of the business without making a fuss, I’d consider you proficient. What you can and cannot do outside of this scope is, well, none of my business.

Calculated misery by Tim Wu explains a lot too

Not a biology or medicine expert by any stretch of imagination. Would a study of their bloodlines reveal anything?

The pleasure of being understood is underrated

The first thing that came to my mind is perhaps October Surprise is something pleasant and giving a feeling of relief after Eternal September

Calculated misery by Tim Wu explains a lot of this. Goes on to show how airlines and other industries as well. I think the paper was published in 2014.

Start listening to Dr Michael Greger. You’ll thank yourself at 40.

When making your worldviews, difficult as it might be, consider listening to the news from original source. Say, for China related stories, look up Chinese publications, translate them to a couple of other languages you know. Ask yourself what each narrator or writer wants you to think and do after listening to their side of the story. This habit will make traveling a better experience in many ways.

Write a journal everyday. Write a meal and snack journal everyday and include any alcohol, drug as well in it. Review them every now and then. Never miss any vaccine. The journals will come in handy for everything from planning weight loss, effectiveness of any diet or exercise, sicknesses, mental health issues, to helping your doctors help you better. Course correction will get simpler and ever easier.

If you ever think of kids, do consider stopping with one. This boiling, frying planet we have made ourselves need not be inflicted on any more than one little one of yours.

Do we have any idea regarding the top 3 or top 5 reasons that drove potential contributors away? Not in terms of hypotheses, asking about actual studies, interviews, surveys, etc
