@epenzeymoog Thanks Eva, I do believe you are right.

@IanTheGood That is not an irrelevant point. I like it. Recently I've been toying with the idea of saying "Com for compassion" 😁
↪ Replying to @Lazer
@Lazer Still a very good point about Sweden. I worry that perhaps it is only my ego that prefers the more "international" domain name and hence I am biased towards it. I mean I'm interested in the international market but it's Sweden that "knows" me. Thanks Liza!
↪ Replying to @beantin
@beantin This is a good point. I think I was reflecting on how it is more taboo to talk about death in some cultures. I connected this to fear of loss and being over-protective of your own wellbeing at the expense of the exploitation of others' wellbeing.
I have several domain names to my name. This year I'll be consolidating to one single website (no links will die). But what should be the 'primary' domain that I use in communication? - It's down to these, I have more ;)
Feel free to explain your thinking. More info in thread.
axbom.com I registered in 1997. This could benefit positioning in search results.
axbom.se emphasises my Swedish location and heritage, which can pique interest.
axbom.blog reveals a content type without having to explain further.
BUT: It's not only a blog. Primarily the content will be in English (but with Swedish translations of the most important pages, and of course Swedish blog posts as well). Relevant: I will be moving towards offering selections of paid content (templates, tools and more).
All types of input is appreciated. Two main reasons for consolidating:
1. The obvious simplification of always directing to one place.
2. I'm really happy with the Ghost platform and have realised it will help me focus on writing more as well.
Thanks for your thoughts! 🙏

@augmentedrobot @JesperBylund What, this is fate! 😁 Added to my "Play next" list.

@JesperBylund Hehe. Yes. This reminded me of Kalle, age 5, who was often subjected to ridicule by his older siblings, who offered him a choice between a 5kr or 1kr coin. Kalle always chose 1kr. A grownup explains the fallacy to Kalle, and he replies "But then how often would I get free money?"
@JesperBylund When I first heard that story as a child I remember it had a huge impact on my understanding of perspective. Obviously, since I still remember it.

@JesperBylund > Is rationality really an objective fact?
Exactly! This is the truly interesting question.
↪ Replying to @augmentedrobot
@augmentedrobot @JesperBylund I have not, thanks!
↪ Replying to @JesperBylund
@JesperBylund This was an interesting read. Sometimes I feel like language is the limiting factor. We can redefine the problem space because we can redefine what rational means in a human context. So we agree even when language tricks us to believing we disagree. 🤔realclearscience.com/articles/2019/…!
Theory: if you are less afraid of death, you will be a more compassionate person.
Sorry this is how my brain works - all these thoughts like popcorn and sometimes I need to empty some of them somewhere. I rarely know what to do with them... 😅
↪ Replying to @JesperBylund
@JesperBylund But then it's rather impressive how we survived as a species on irrationality as the default state. As always I believe the truth is more on a scale. e.g. How people with autism spectrum conditions are less prone to bias fascinates me.

Sometimes I try to reason on how human irrationality is not inevitable, but simply the result of massive effort to suppress freedom of thought.
But then Netflix starts the next episode automatically and I forget what I was thinking about.
Hey @joinClubhouse, these two buttons are very close to each other... the one I would consider secondary also pops more than the other and is placed higher up in the hierarchy.
Also: did you user test that word?
#BasicDesignPatternHazards
Had an exhausting week with some distressing news but it ended on a high note with a client e-mailing to say that the workshop I held this morning on giving digital workshops (I know, meta!) was hugely appreciated by the participants. Everyone deserves a Friday e-mail of praise.
