There’s also a great anecdote from Nobel-winning physicist Richard Feynman, where he talks about how physics used to delight him when he used to play with it, but then it started to disgust him when he got burdened by this idea that he was obligated to advance the future of science. That he was supposed to be doing “important” work.

I'm diagnosed schizophrenic, and the main barrier to re-entering the world after my first psychotic break was that I could no longer relate to the person I once was. My memories felt like memories of another person outside of myself, I didn't believe it was me. It was very traumatizing and I withdrew from everyone I knew and became catatonic for... See more

CAFÉ ANNE | Anne Kadet | Substack

Anne brings serious journalism to wacky, offbeat New York weirdness. I find her curiosity and openness to adventure completely inspiring. I want to be more like her. Also, her writing makes me laugh out loud, even when I’m completely alone, which puts her in the same league of genuinely funny writers as Scott Adams and David Sedaris and not too many others.
Bourdain/Ripert: Would you suggest someone attend CIA or any other cooking school?

Photography is the Exchanging of Hearts -- Walkie Talkie w/ Sara Messinger (ep. 44)
youtube.comThere’s this whole thing about street photography where, if you want “authenticity” you’re supposed to steal shots, and just assault people with your camera. That always felt wrong and strange and uncomfortable to me, and this is just another reminder (a necessary reminder) that you can do things however you want. Do things the way you want to do them and the way that feels right to you. Don’t let some imaginary ruleset control you.
Also, the way Sara talks about hanging out with her friends—instead of going out to bars or partying or whatever people do on the weekends—just walking around with cameras to see what’s going on in the world. That sounds so fun to me. Why am I not doing that?
