Suggested Reading 11

In this series, I assume the role of a reader instead of a writer, discussing articles by other writers... things I recommend.

We start with something that might be of interest to those it concerns: TangoSwap - the First Publicly Doxxed DEX on SmartBCH, by @MoreGainStrategies. The use of the term “doxxed” here made @Pantera protests in a comment. He correctly claims that the term Doxx denotes...

“a malicious act to expose the identity and private information of someone without the subject's approval. Doxx is a term used always as negative. Can't promote a project saying it is Doxxed.“

Here some suggestions from @adereign: Things I can do to help bitcoin cash become generally adopted.

@Jnavedan asks Who will rule in the metaverse? It's a well written discussion on metaverse, realities, privacy and freedom. Another article about metaverse is Metaverse Also Known As “The Internet Of Virtual Reality" by @NakamotoBch.

The crypto market wears a red dress again, but, BCH users has no worry by @Fexonice1 sounds like just another article on a theme chewed here almost every day. In a way it is, but still this is slightly different and unusually well expressed. But it is just what to expect of hard-working, veteran member @Fexonice1.

@Gemstone wrote several good articles lately; I want to point out three:

Freewrite: Freedom Is Utopian Concept, in which the author claims that most people are slaves in practice, mostly without even realizing it. But do we really desire total freedom?

I think not, because total freedom would become total unfreedom. One would have to live isolated from other living beings. Otherwise there comes responsibility, and that is always a limitation of freedom. If you want a friend, a marriage partner, a child... it obliges. Your freedom becomes limited. If you take a job,you sell your freedom, you'll have responsibilities to your employer. If you enter any form of contractual agreement, it's a limitation of your freedom.

I don't think the point is to live totally free, but to be free to choose how to limit one's freedom in order to gain something else. A job gives money, a friend or a partner or a child gives something else (we don't need to try to define exactly what here and now). But you don't get anything without giving something, and ultimately you pay with parts of your freedom.

Two health articles by @Gemstone also deserve to be mentioned: The Miraculous Lemon Water and What Fasting Does To The Human Brain?

@VoluntaryJapan recently published an article with thoughts about diet: Current Thoughts on Veganism — Wrestling With My Diet (Voluntaryist Perspective).

Above I mentioned @NakamotoBch, and I would like to include three more posts by the same author: Existence Of Genetic Variation Is Not Enough To Explain Evolution By Natural Selection; and then one about mythology: Ancient Goddess Of Sexuality And Fertility Mylitta; and finally, Is Life More Complicated Than It Needs To Be?

@Shounenbat wrote about Ebony: The Million Dollar Tree!

What about old times? Here are two articles which may instil some nostalgia in those being old enough to have experienced this for real: Film cameras are not dead by @valo, and Gone are the greeting cards by @zolabundance2.

@Librarian writes about his 50 Articles Milestone. This is an author in my taste, not too limited in mind and topics.

In a previous edition of “Suggested Reading”, I brought up articles about dragons. I was not then aware of @Librarian's Encyclopaedia Draconnica. This is an attempt to cover the topic from many different perspectives, indeed to create an Encyclopedia about Dragons. I like the idea and it is well done. If you are interested in dragons, this is a must read. The author also refers to other articles about dragons.

Have you ever heard about the five laws of stupidity? If not, read A 'stupid' article. by @aniruddhasen. It is not stupid at all.

@AlexD525 is a new member whose first post was Happiness Always Better Then Money.

@Probinsyana, another new member, wrote about Excess Baggage, and @Argent wrote The artist, the medium, and the masterpiece

Is maturity a reason for a sudden change of preferences?, asks @Lhes. In my opinion it is a reason for changing preferences - but that is probably a gradual process, not “sudden” as the title suggests.

@Blogika writes about Good mood without stuff, which explains some facts about brain and nervous system in connection with negative emotions.

Would you like to have the ability to be invisible, or to read people's mind? @Lucifer01 plays with the idea of super powers in Super Powers I Want!!!

Change your mindset, and life will be better, claims @Oikawa; and @Theblackdoll writes that Punctuality, It matters!!!! Myself punctual to a fault, I certainly agree. If I have an appointment, I arrive exact on time and I never wait long for anyone. If they haven't come after 10 minutes, I leave again. They are free to waste their own time, but don't waste mine.

In When to keep your mouth shut, @Freedom007 lists a number of situations when it is best to remain silent. I agree with this; there are situations when talking would be destructive.

Veteran member @wakeupkitty writes Good news about polarisation; and @Musician explains how he/she sees The power of the circle.

@G_lenahhh, gives us Books recommendation! and @B.Mac expresses his reference for fantasy in Don't You Just Love Your Fantasy Novels!!!

Finally some fiction by @gertu13: Do you write predicting?; and by @Pearlkel: King Arthur.
