Somos muito mais do que eles nos obrigam a aceitar.

Achamos que inteligência é jogar Go. Mas praticamente ninguém joga Go. Ou xadrez. Inteligência real é ser capaz de andar por uma rua incrivelmente movimentada em uma noite movimentada, com agilidade, quando você nem mesmo pensa sobre isso, enquanto ao mesmo tempo relembra memórias e repete coisas em seu cérebro. O que estou dizendo é que o ser humano foi reduzido a uma versão muito simplificada de si mesmo, que ele aceitou, para se encaixar nesse modelo de máquina, tanto da sociedade quanto da internet. Mas somos extraordinários e podemos fazer coisas extraordinárias. Somos muito mais do que eles nos obrigam a aceitar.

Entrevista de Adam Curtis a Tom Hodgkinson em Idler.

We are so much more than what they are forcing us to accept.

We think intelligence is about playing Go. But practically no one plays Go. Or chess. Real intelligence is being able to walk through an incredibly crowded street on a busy evening, nimbly, when you don’t even think about it, while at the same time recalling memories and replaying things in your brain. What I’m saying is that human beings have been reduced to a very simplified version of themselves, which they’ve accepted, in order to fit into this machine model, both of society and the internet. But we are extraordinary and we can do extraordinary things. We are so much more than what they are forcing us to accept.

Link: Por que fatos não mudam nossa cabeça

James Clear sobre as razões de fatos, por si só, serem insuficiente para mudar a mentalidade de grupos de pessoas.

“We don’t always believe things because they are correct. Sometimes we believe things because they make us look good to the people we care about […]

The way to change people’s minds is to become friends with them, to integrate them into your tribe, to bring them into your circle. Now, they can change their beliefs without the risk of being abandoned socially.

The British philosopher Alain de Botton suggests that we simply share meals with those who disagree with us […]”

Linux/MacOs tip: use du to check folder and files sizes (disk usage)

por

Whenever you are using terminal on Unix, Linux and MacOs and need to check the amount of space used by a folder or files, you can use the `du` command:

// basic use. Gives the size in bytes of all files and folders in the folder you are in
du

// gives the size in "human readable" units like kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes of all files and folders.
du -h

// gives an one line summary of the space occupied by all files and folders
du -s

// combines human readable and summary options
du -hs
