Cats, good books, AI, and religious walking in the city of Sofia
There’s a difficult choice when planning a spa trip to Velingrad. In case you go on a work day, the pool would mostly be empty but the food choices would be limited. The photo above was taken on a Thursday. Same place a day later would be very full of people but the food options would be great.
I’m not sure which is better. I kind of like the empty pool when I’m there but then I get hungry.
Something makes my name difficult to say and hear. English speakers tend to confuse it with a random Russian last name, the Greek Vasilij, or Vaseline. Bulgarians improvise around it, surprised when they hear it.
On the photo – Vasilen, actually not a bad interpretation because it’s close to a real name. 4/7
Fear makes you click. But does it end with clicking and reading? Found this gem on the Reader today:
French surgeon and neurobiologist, Henri Laborit (1914-1995) drew a clear connection between learning and emotion, showing that without the latter the former was impossible. The stronger the emotion, the more clearly an experience is learned.

Triggered productive emotions also help you learn the wrong things because learning is associated with emotion. Previously wrote about this in 2018.
