Alongside this I would recommend “The Art of Being an Executive” by Louis Lundborg, written by an actual CEO


Ross and Carrie covered this on their podcast back in 2017, they had out of body experiences I believe. Link: https://ohnopodcast.com/investigations/2017/10/21/ross-and-c...


In Chinese: “当局者迷,旁观者清”. The players are confused, but the audience sees clearly.


I’ve heard a similar explanation for why Goya’s imagery shifted so dramatically toward the end of his life: lead poisoning from his paints


Yes, like many plants and fungi, jellyfish exhibit “alternation of generations” with both an asexual and a sexual reproduction stage. Since the forms are usually far different in size, one biologist remarked it’s as if a woman gives birth to a mouse and then a mouse to a woman.


It’s all fun and games until V’Ger starts seeking the Creator


Always nice for CNBC guests when they get to financial-splain industry terms to the audience, but when they’re asked for predictions they suddenly lose their tongues.

“What will the market do?” “Well, it will fluctuate.” <-- great answer if you can get away with it

“Get a hobby: work with rocks and cement like John Dunsworth”[0] - you can tell that this actor really dug it!

John Dunsworth was such a gem. Arguably the best portrayal of alcoholism on-screen ever. One of the kindest people ever, according to absolutely everyone. Brilliant actor, and an excellent stonemason privately. He explicitly wanted his hobbies to outlive him.

For those who don't know, John played Jim Lahey in the surprisingly excellent series "Trailer Park Boys". Give it a watch, you may be surprised.


Trailer Park Boys kind of needs to be watched after midnight.


No, just get high.

Honestly, the episode where bubbles gets a mountain lion is to my favorite episode of any television show. High or not.


Not really my thing, although I respect others right to make their own choices.

Being up at 1am after a full day makes for about the same mental state though.


The one where Ricky replaces the towel holder in a lady's bathroom is pretty great also.


I'll admit that I've enjoyed many an episode following Lahey's example.


It does improve the show
