Sean Carroll's Mindscape: Science, Society, Philosophy, Culture, Arts, and Ideas

NOTE

Huge believer in comfort foods both literally and metaphorically.

I believe in both literal and figurative comfort food. After a long day, I turn to pizza and buffalo wings for that instant boost of happiness. Ice cream used to be my go-to as well, but I can't indulge in it like I used to. Despite knowing that these foods aren't the healthiest, they make me feel better, and that's okay. In the same way, I enjoy simple and fun things in art, entertainment, and literature. My wife and I have a routine of working hard during the day and then unwinding by reading science fiction stories from authors like Heinlein and Le Guin. Rereading some difficult books like Ian Banks is also enjoyable because you can fully immerse yourself in their world. We also love watching TV shows like Poirot and Columbo murder mysteries. This balance of comforting and challenging experiences brings joy to our lives.
