“If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?” ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn In the digital age, information is everything. And information usually precedes action, so in my eyes your argument is wilfully ignorant to the larger reality of a complex globalized world.

I have setup a self hosted note server[0] on Raspberry PI. Here's my workflow: - Remembered a todo or note? Type note in your browser address bar with keyword 'pin' prefixed pin todo!pay the rent pin grocery!handwash pin [this video] - Note gets saved in markdown document like todo.md, grocery.md and watchlist.md. 'pin' is the keyword I have configured for my Pi server and browser thinks its a search engine. - A http shortcut on Android when clicked shows a dialog box with todo.md contents. - Edit/View notes using mapped network drive in your favorite markdown editor both on desktop/mobile. You can also view all the notes in your browser. [0]: [LINK]

In my experience as a man, most of the men I’ve had around me tend to avoid talking about what is going on inside of them, not sharing and describing what they feel and how this relates to their unmet human needs.
