  • It’s an incredible tool. Especially since Carroll has ADHD as well and kind of “invented” the Bullet Journal over time to manage himself.

    I tend to add “Inboxes” to the general method. I might not have the journal with me at every minute, or it might be inconvenient to use it in certain situations (i.e. I prefer paper journal, but in meetings a digital format has it’s advantages). So I have an “Inbox” (basically a daily log) on my Phone & Work PC. At the end of the day, I go through the additional Inboxes as well and condense everything into my central (paper) journal.

    For me, it’s better to have a small number of additional but convenient places to write down stuff than skipping the journaling just because I don’t want to pull out my journal during a meeting.













  • I commented on the cross-post, but I thought it might be interesting for others in this thread. The product basically fits the requirements very well:

    Unfortunately, the mouse is only sold in a keyboard/mouse bundle, but the “CHERRY STREAM DESKTOP RECHARGE” bundle might be something you would be interested in. Both keyboard and mouse have replaceable batteries and these suckers are built to last. The mouse is little bigger, so def. have something in your hand and it has super silent buttons. I especially like the type-feel of the keyboard. I am normally totally I to mechanical keyboards, but I can totally tolerate typing on it. 😉

    Edit: Oh, and I forgot. You can recharge them with a USB-C cable. They also use off-the-shelve NiMH rechargeable batteries that you can get almost everywhere if you want to replace it in the future.

    (Disclaimer: I work for Cherry, but IMHO it is still a very good product for the price. )







  • it’s harder to fight evolution and it takes time

    See, I don’t really understand why you think we would need any evolution for this. For what it’s worth, we are already very well capable of thriving on a plant-exclusive diet with our current genetic setup.

    meat free lifestyles would most likely push different evolutionary traits in a few million years

    Most probably not - or at least not to great extent. You need a selection pressure for evolution to happen. I.e. you need natural selection. And since our food-choices influence our chances for reproduction very little in our modern days. Humans removed them selves to a great extent form “evolution by natural selection” anyways in our age.

    you have to consider cultural influences as well

    Cultural influences can be used as an explanation for a status quo, but are a bad justification for future behavior most of the time.

    Additionally, veganism is more prominent in higher income countries because of food processing and “health food” taxes cost money, so many vegan items aren’t inexspensive.

    I can not agree with you on that statement in any way. The cheapest staple foods you could get are mostly vegan (Grains, Legumes, Dried goods, seeds, vegies, fruit, potatos). Meat and animal products are quite expensive to produce in comparison. Most of the time this just does not seem like it, because animal ag is extremly subsidized to keep this industry economically viable. If anyone would need to pay the FULL price of animal products, most of us would not be able to afford then on a regular basis.

    Those people that are too impoverished to afford a full vegan diet would starve without meat.

    Completely backwards. “Poorer” regions that have a climate suited to produce crops often have traditionally a very plant heavy diet, since things like grains and legumes have a great shelf life and are very cheap. Meat is fucking expensive. It boils down to basic thermodynamics. You need to put so much calories into an animal that you will never be ably to retrieve by consuming their body. It is wasteful.

    Also consider those places where the land can’t be fertilized and farmed. Those people as well would starve.

    No one in their right minds would say that some indigenous tribes or the Inuit need to be eating veggie burgers tomorrow. We are talking about the vast majority of people on this planet - like you and me. And we have the choice. Diverting the argument over to some hypothetical about foreign tribes or poor people is not necessary and also not at the heart of the arguments.
