Now, I AM an Axolotl. Top Story - August 2023.
There was a time when I would think about axolotls a lot. I used to go look at them in the aquarium of the Jardin des Plantes and would stay there hours contemplating them, observing their immobility, their shadowed movements. Now, I am an axolotl. Hubo un tiempo en que yo pensaba mucho en los axolotl. Iba a verlos al acuario del Jardín des Plantes y me quedaba horas mirándolos, observando su inmovilidad, sus oscuros movimientos. Ahora soy un axolotl. JULIO CORTAZAR (1914-1987)

interesting psychological facts about human behavior
The world is full of different people from different places who observe different cultures, value different ideas, and follow different paths. No matter how different we seem, at the core of our being, we have a tremendous amount in common. We share physical characteristics, of course, like one head, two eyes, ten fingers, and just as many toes, but we are also bound by psychological similarities. Even if we live on opposite sides of the world, we all share common behaviors that affect the choices we make, the people we like, and the goals we pursue. Yet few people understand the psychological roots of our shared humanity. Some of the most “human” behaviors are routinely ignored and dismissed, leading some people to ultimately defy human nature. For example, if you analyze common social norms, you might discover that our society is structured around huge misconceptions about how real humans think, feel, and work. With that in mind, let’s dive into fourteen interesting, and sometimes surprising, facts about the very behaviors that make us human.

The Wager Book Review
David Grann's The Wager is a masterful work of nonfiction that tells the story of the Wager Mutiny, a real-life event that took place in 1741. The book is a gripping tale of shipwreck, survival, and murder, but it is also much more than that. It is a meditation on the nature of power, the limits of human endurance, and the power of storytelling.
