I enjoyed this episode of The Economics of Everyday Things looking at urban trees. City trees have many benefits: carbon sequestration, reduced cooling costs, ​increased house value, improved public health, decreased crime. The benefits outweigh the costs.

One of my favorite Acquired episodes is the deep dive on Epic Systems (www.acquired.fm/episodes/epi...). The origin story, the history, and Judith Faulkner’s founder journey are just insanely good. A couple of Epic's commandments: "Do not go public" and "Do not be acquired".

Really enjoyed the Neil deGrasse Tyson show in Toronto. The section on Artemis II rocket launch was especially interesting. Artemis II will be the first crewed mission to the Moon since 1972! The crew consists of 3 NASA and 1 Canadian astronaut. I'm hoping I can see the launch live in February!

Interesting article on the decline of deviance and increase of homogeneity in society. The good thing: we live longer and richer lives today. But there seems to be a decline in creativity in many aspects of our culture: art, architecture, and industry. www.experimental-history.com/p/the-declin...

Sad news 😞
Is dark chocolate good for you?
"Sadly for chocoholics, the health claims for dark chocolate come from wishful thinking and sly marketing, not the findings of science."
