  • I saw a study a while back that showed bpa contaimination from reciepts in cashiers is pretty concentrated to the fingertips - meaning it's not system wide. Bpa isn't that bad so I'd be a lot more concerned about lead pipes and covid and everything else that's killing you much faster than bpa. (I'm not a doctor, just a chemist)


  • Passage of time can be really hard and can make it difficult to stop doing a problem. They make buzzers you can put in your pocket that buzz every 10 minutes which can help you make sure you don't get distracted for too long. It doesn't solve continuing to do the distraction, but that's a more managable problem (meds, insentives, and practice.) Timers can also fill the same role. Just make sure you have to aknowledge the passing of time. I have found that the fixation on random things dissipates as you use the meds more. Eventually it becomes easker to pick what you need to do. It took me ~1.5 years to get there.











  • It's a great book. It is really impressive just how forward thinking it is. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, Feinberg is the GOAT. I find a lot of the discussions in the book have an even more progressive outlook than many current conversations. I'll hear queer people people splitting hairs about labels and arguing how gender works while Feinberg just lays down facts and is pretty much always correct.
