• One in six children suffers some kind of disorder.

It is funny, informative, and persuasive talk.
What I get from this talk is that collaborations and exchanges of ideas are an essence of human, and these are why we are so successful making tools and advancing technologies at accelerating rates.
• How many hours do you have to work to earn an hour of reading light? In the old days, it was very long hours. In 1800 we had to work 6 hours, but now only half a second!
• Louis XlV had 498 people preparing for his dinner every night, but now we all have people working for us preparing meals, and probably higher quality.
• Trading is way older than farming.
• The spread of tools means there were trades not migrations.
• The famous essay called "I, Pencil". People don't even know how to make a pencil.

Movie: Enter the Void
Enter the Void |
This Morning
OK, then after that, I watched a movie called Planet Terror. Very gross, but funny in some way.
I created an account for YouTube with the name *********, and connected to my ******** Facebook account which has no friend. I'll use the account to create a list of Smashing Pumpkins's rare videos which I can enjoy again, again, and again.
Now weekend morning is about to finish. I would do go out and finish the book I'm still reading.
