Life After Death: the living coffin
“Life After Death: the living coffin.” The idea of my corpse being sealed inside a coffin never sat well with me.

This is a possible step in that direction.— Tim Ferriss

“The psychoactive drug ibogaine could save lives—and everyone wants to cash in” by Rachel Nuwer (@RachelNuwer) for National Geographic. I’ve been looking forward to this article for quite some time. It’s a beautiful and important portrait of the world of iboga. Some scientists consider iboga’s alkaloid ibogaine to be one of the most powerful potential treatments for opioid use disorder, among other conditions. It carries real risks, but demand has nonetheless skyrocketed in recent years. This feature article was deeply reported, and the characters, conflicts, and photos within paint a rich pic— Tim Ferriss

There is typically heavy scrutiny on national team selectors, including those of the major Test cricketing nations like Australia, England, and India."

This is a great list, which I found recommended on the website of fellow Austinite Professor Raj Raghunathan, author of If You’re So Smart, Why Aren’t You Happy?. If you feel overwhelmed or underjoyed, try this: give an extra $10 or $20 to the barista next time you buy coffee.
