In Favor of Enjoying Things on Purpose

from Raptitude.com [alt+shift+b] in life

17th Mar 2026
The human being is an enjoyment-seeking creature. There’s a reason people are always trying to restrain themselves from excessive eating, drinking, scrolling, and shopping. It’s perfectly normal to pursue these and other pleasures even to the point of serious problems and early...

from Luxagraf: Topographical Writings [alt+shift+b] in life

11th Mar 2026

i ordered garlic naan but they gave me captain crunch instead what the heck man

from Farza's Newsletter [alt+shift+b] in life

28th Aug 2023
Note: this is targeted specifically at startup founders. But, same things apply to anyone who’s brave enough to create something from nothing — creators, musicians, physics researchers, etc. I wanna talk about why companies die. And, why most people quit.

The True Meaning Of Concentration

24th Jan 2020
Q: My sweet beloved Mother, I read in the Conversations: “Concentration alone will lead you to this goal.” Should one increase the time of meditation? Concentration does not mean meditation; on the contrary, concentration is a state one must be in continuously, whatever the outer...

The slow death of all that is known

from Adrian Hanft, III: RSS Feed [alt+shift+b] in life

2nd Sep 2017
The know-it-all can never be surprised. Everything he learns is an appendix to some distant education. What little new insight is gained is but a footnote to that framework of original knowledge, the dusty document of knowledge canonized long ago when his education was...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
