Reminder for myself
We tend to view body and mind as separate things. They aren’t. Your mind is as much a part of your body as your organs, arms and head. It’s important to be diligent about maintaining a good rhythm for oneself. Here’s a byte-sized talk extracted from Andrew Huberman talks about helpful morning routines.

Crooked bread
I think people who say: “Two wrongs doesn’t make a right”, aren’t people who tend to cut bread very crookedly.

An Arctic Sunset-rise
Greenland’s National Day is the day of summer solstice, when our daylight is at its longest. The midnight sun barely hits the horisont before it turns upwards again.

Take possession of your life
“You can’t just walk into things with your eyes half open. You’ve got to know what you’re getting into and take possession of your life. It’s a thought process you constantly have to reaffirm or you’ll drift.” Paraphrased quote by Guy Ritchie

Outliving relevancy
Among my scariest thoughts is the one that in 100.. 500.. 1000 years from now everything will still be the same. And this is harsh.. But nature takes care of a lot of problems over time. If we mess with immortality many ideas might very well outlive their relevancy.
