Three Questions, March 7, 2025

You can find the background to The Three Questions in my recent post about it. I’ll be answering the questions each day for the next year and putting this experience into a book. Here we go!

What was the most beautiful thing I encountered today?

The most beautiful thing I encountered today was a comment on Threads from Stonekettle. It was rude and hysterical and made me laugh so hard for several minutes that I almost had to delay starting a meeting because I couldn’t compose myself.

What did I learn today?

Today I read an interesting article about the discovery of bone tools that parallel stone tools, dated a million years earlier than any that have ever been found before. A couple of weeks ago the oldest ever wood structure ever found and it was hundreds of thousands of years earlier than any found previously. It’s a pet peeve and theory of mine, we always underestimate the sophistication and skills of primitive peoples. It’s what leads to things like Ancient Alien hypotheses.

What made me happy today?

I did my quarterly blood sugar blood tests today and as I do I allowed myself a good cheat day, some really great chicken enchiladas, a coke and a chocolate chip muffin.
