Things I Learned in 2020

Some I found especially interesting:

38. 報復性熬夜 is a Chinese term that roughly means ‘Revenge bedtime procrastination’ — when “people who don’t have much control over their daytime life refuse to sleep early in order to regain some sense of freedom during late night hours”. [Lu-Hai Liang]

44. A micromort is a one-in-a-million chance of death. Just being alive is about 24 micromorts per day, skydiving is 8 micromorts per jump. [Matt Webb]

2020 is the year that will forever changed us all. It forced us to slow down, give up things whether we like it or not, and despite our best wishes and prayers for things to go back to normal, I think we all slowly realized with each passing month that we might not ever fully return to the way things were before.
