Notes

Tonight I met a southern Dutch, white man who spent a few months in a backwater US college. He knows racism—apparently the shape of his eyes is vaguely Indonesian.

He ‘splained to me that Hillary Clinton is more racist than Trump.

I did not push him into a canal. #restraint

Tonight’s schedule:

• Rum
• Mezcal
• Scotch
• Rye
• Sake
• Pimms
• Vodka
• Water

I’ve reached a strange milestone. Returning from India to Amsterdam comes with more micro culture shock than the initial arrival in India.

So I’m trying to find studies of how expectations affect context switches, but haven’t found much.

Feynman described magnets as the result of many electrons in alignment magnifying the electromagnetic force.

Now it’s haunting me that these two words have no common etymology.

I have a controversial opinion: there are some, but not many, problems that can be solved with a blockchain.
