People seemed keen in taking part in a remote Inkhaven. I'll put together a loose community and run a tontine - to be split between those who post every day of November. Express interest here.
Do you have thoughts on naming/branding? Happy to find my own name but if you'd prefer I can also label at as a sort of remote Inkhaven type of thing.
Great, thanks!
Any interest in a remote Inkhaven?
EDIT: express interest here
I love the idea of Inkhaven but don't have the cash (and am not super interested in becoming a fancy writer/researcher, but would like to write better). What about an online version - would also run during the month of November so could cadge some of the Inkhaven tailwind, but would be free and online-only.
You'd have a community of likeminded people all trying to do the same thing. We could set up a tontine; everyone chips in $50 or something and then if you've posted one thing a day for the full month you split the pool at the end.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1015958423001392 suggests that bright light might be causing the effect, not UV.
That's an interesting paper! Although it seems a bit confounded - "Because eyes of mice and of human volunteers were not covered, we cannot exclude the possibility that solar/UV radiation to the eye affected the observed sexual behavior." Which would be interesting if true, suggesting that just being outside and getting UV light in the eyes would be the thing to do. I guess you note this at the end of your first comment.
What do you think about the potential skin aging effects of UV vs the potential health benefits?
There's plenty of scientific evidence for the effectiveness of topical retinoids, going back several decades.
This is wonderful; thank you for writing it. Very much enjoyed the exposition of the "Quiet" state; have been trying out your advice of switching everything off and trying to slip into such a state and am enjoying what I've found there.
Likewise, thanks for all you're doing Zvi.
Isn't suicide already legal in most places?
