  • I think walking is on the right track. If you feel mental fatigue from playing music (or other hobby), you will need to recharge and get new inspiration.

    Physical activity is the best way to let the mind recharge.

    Personally I currently have a lot of wood to chop, and so I do that hard manual labor just to disconnect the mind. People keep asking me if I want to borrow their electric wood chopper. I have turned down 5 people by now, and my in-law even delivered one without asking - insisting to help out. Obviously I don’t use it, because that’s not the point at all. If I wanted chopped wood I could simply buy it. I want to chop wood, because it’s a way for me to mentally zone out.

    Anyway, you can spice up your walks by bringing a sketch pad and draw something. Perhaps that’ll keep your mind more focused on observing the sorroundings and giving a purpose to the walking.







  • I think I do. I’ve been managing properties for some 20 years. Mostly commercial.

    What I’m saying is that in order to understand why the landlord doesn’t just cash in on 50 years of rent, you first need to understand the difference between the profit/loss and assets/liabilities sections in a financial statement.

    The tenants (income) are not paying for the building (asset). They only need to cover the interest (cost) from the loan (liability) in order for the the landlord to make money (profit).

    The only time it makes sense to compare the rental income to the value of the asset is for the annual asset evaluation.

    If the landlord waves the evaluation and rent around like OP says, it just shows that the landlord doesn’t understand it either and is just throwing numbers into the air to impress people.






  • If the universe is infinite and homogeneous then that would infer all finite permutations of energy occur, not once but infinitely many times.

    That’s a big if.

    Something can be infinite without having any 1:1 repetition of all or any finite parts. Depends on how homogenous it really is and at what scale. If there are infinite permutations within a finite area, then it won’t necessarily repeat ever. There’s currently no proof of whether the universe is discreet or continuous.
