The Curiosity Index: Week 44


You made it. This week we have been away during our autumn half-term break up on the High Coast of Sweden which is stunningly beautiful at any time of the year. It’s being out in the great outdoors that is part of the Scandinavian (and not just Norwegian) approach to life. I hope wherever you are you can find some beauty to look at, it does the soul good. And now on with the links.

You Should Read These

Seven articles that might be worth you bookmarking, reading & thinking about

  1. Why Are People So Fascinated with ‘Lost’ Books of the Bible? Good question. Also good answer.
  2. What happened to our mental bandwidth? Again, very good question.
  3. The seasonal stresses of consumerism. This might be a part of it.
  4. Spiritual Burnout, Chronic Anxiety, and the Stress of “Making Your Life Count for God”. Or this.
  5. Not for me. This approach might help though.
  6. ‘A Plague on the Industry’: Book Publishing’s Broken Blurb System. On a totally different topic.
  7. Gamsutl: Russia’s Machu Picchu Dating Back Around 2,000 Years. I love finding out about places like this. The world is full of wonders.

I refuse to drink that poison.

Don’t drink the poison
