The 4 years I spent living in SF in medical school were some of the most miserable of my life, and it wasn't because of UCSF Med School. I fell in love with SF for some of the same reasons as the author of this article (vibrant diversity, beautiful weather and scenery, exciting shit to do), but the reality of the place was much the way he describes it. Diversity without connection, an underlying meanness everywhere, horrible public transport...oh, and the COST. I now live closer to Silicon Valley in suburbs and there's much more sense of community and friendliness. Hopefully San Francisco can fix its shit because it is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth and it's really tragic to witness its decline. https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/nobody-says-hi-in-san-francisco

In the recent live someone mentioned the different sleep patterns we've had in the past. It was one of those strange coincidences to me as I'd recently learnt that visiting Little Moreton Hall in England. Built in 1504 and decorated in the great hall with this plaster work celebrating a book written by Robert Recorde (he invented the Equals sign). The book was about the split in human thinking, reasoning, belief...science and magical thinking. Nothing's really changed has it and I'm still wondering what they did when they got up in the middle of a dark, cold night with no electricity to do some chores.
