Beware the stories you read or tell; subtly, at night, beneath the waters of consciousness, they are altering your world.” - Ben Okri
Smart Health
🤗The science of touch. Covid has pressed pause on physical contact, but what are the effects of this 'taboo on touch' on our health? Key quote: "A better world is often just a hug away." Who can you hug today?
🥃An absurdly complete guide to understanding whisky. "You can't have an article on whisky in the health section" I hear you cry. As a Scotsman, I beg to differ. In all seriousness, please drink responsibly. 🙏
Building Wealth
⛔️Watch out for fake get-rich gurus. They are usually quite easy to spot, but this video goes into some depth on the 'get rich quick' industry and the significant harm it causes to vulnerable people.
👾Virtual economies are the new Wild West. Settle down somewhere comfortable to read this long-form essay on the massive potential in virtual worlds. Amazing animations throughout.
