Comments can be out of sync with code, and don't provide any information during runtime.
Log messages can be easily hidden (easily turn off DEBUG level messages), don't really slow down code, and offer information to the user and developer during runtime as to what's happening.

Lean into the pain you feel within your body and watch it dissolve.
Strengthen the mind-body connection by paying attention to how your body feels within at all times, a continuous stream of interoception showing you patterns unbeknownst to most.
You will go on a quiet journey, alone, and meet the creator of the universe inside your own mind.
There’s a reason we use the words “brilliant” and “bright” to describe both luminance and intelligence.
Biomedical technology is gonna progress to a point where people actually serve 115-year prison sentences and then get out and live out the rest of their days circa 2137 A.D. Imagine that.
What happens when people around you constantly reinforce ideas that trigger your limbic system is that you feel validated in your preconceived notions, never questioning your prejudices.
It’s healthy to question the thoughts of those you most agree with online.
Keeps you sharp.

People who believe they’re thinking differently by simply finding echo chambers online that reinforce their supposedly dissident thinking patterns have not broke outside the box, they just found a different box they prefer.
Echo chambers are dangerous and insidious and subtle.

Being likable isn’t the same as wanting to be liked.
Trying too hard or wanting too much to be liked can be especially unlikable.
Being charming isn’t the same as being witty or funny or outgoing.
In fact, some of the most charming people are relatively quiet and even shy.
This is a bit of a paradox because truly charming people may care about others and have empathy for others, but they do not put a lot of energy into worrying about what others think of them.
This doesn’t mean they are oblivious to how others perceive them.
They are very much aware of those who like them, and those who may not, but none of this causes them any angst.
Much like charisma, charm and likability may be hard to define, but
most of us know it when we experience it.

When a higher culture is on the decline spiritually, and in general excellence, in a sense that it no longer portrays the character of expression which bore majesty into this world, one must understand there is nothing which can be done to save the failing civilization. Much like a biological entity, it have grown, peaked, and now begins to decay from within. This is not only from economic abundance and the growing psychological torpor which takes hold of a people creating excessive weakness, but also from the inherent biological weakness which begins to arise within a people due to a change in circumstances of the civilization. There is no longer a need for strong to seek strong, carving a place within reality as they hurtle towards mysterious aims of spiritual intent. Once the apex of cultural idea is expressed within a people, there can only be decline, as the battle for supremacy of ideals has faded, and an era of decadence ushers in a distortion of selection - which crafted these magnificent ideals to begin with. This rhythm cycle of rise and falls, a never ending undulation of nature, seems inevitable, and once radiant glory can never be recaptured. You cannot go back to recreate greatness, but must look forward - seeking to mould yourself in a new image - separating yourself from the diminished individuals currently tearing apart the structure of civilization and espousing it as unique progress; a delusion of the highest order. You must once again seek the strong, and seek to bind yourselves together, in a formation that demands the birth of a new philosophy, a new ethos, an entirely new spirit which will force the foundations of the world to shake.
