Clutter is anything that gets in the way of your well-being.
When in doubt, go without.
Look inside the question for the answer.
An obligatory gift is a curse.
Conflicting desires are not a sign of moral failure.
Stress is a weapon people use to abuse themselves.
When you resent your feelings, you resist their wisdom.
Organizing is well-planned hoarding.

The part where you talk about the space ads reminds me of a book I read many years ago. It’s called Feed by M.T. Anderson. It’s a dystopian sci-fi novel and these space ads just brought me right back to that book. I certainly hope we never end up there. Yuck.

Priceless comments about peer review! I can only hope to hear an episode on academic medicine sooner rather than later!
