"You are 15 percent more likely to be happy if a family member or friend is happy. You're also 10 percent more likely to be happy if a friend of your friend is happy and 6 percent more likely if a friend of a friend of a friend is happy."

"A man has as many social selves as there are individuals who recognize him. As many different social selves as there are
distinct groups about whose opinions he cares."

— William James, the Father of American psychology, writes in his groundbreaking The Principles of Psychology (1890).

An anon. reached out to me on telegram today and asked about my IELTS score and when I took it. I said 7.5, December of 2020.

The response was, word for word, ‘how did you get in without knowing English well?’ In my clumsy attempt to come back, I told him that I took the SAT after IELTS, wrote some boring essays for months and so on, which helped me get a bit better at it, and that I had some hope after all that.

The following message was nothing less than the most wholesome texting experience in a few months. ‘My brother has 8. Do you want to connect with him?’ Sadly, when I told him I have two friends with IELTS 8.5, he blocked me and cleared the chat.

Please, TerrorError512, I’m sorry, link me with your brother.

Apathy: Decision Overload

At the start of college, I promised myself to be deliberate with my actions, choices, even with mundane aspects of everyday life. New people, brilliant people, new places, new ideas, new foods - everything was so different than anything I had ever imagined. ‘I will appreciate every moment of it,’ I said to myself, ‘every tiny detail.’

This mindset has been incredibly rewarding. I made many new friends, participated in a wide range of student life activities, and took courses I would never otherwise have.

But recently, the need to be conscious about every little action every day, every week has begun to weigh on me. The code of cosmic balance of things is teaching me a lesson as overanalyzing the smallest choices is making me feel its weight. Getting up, brushing my teeth, putting the laptop away from my bed before sleep, one egg or two for breakfast, hanging out with a friend for 30 minutes or 35, doing 5 reps of dumbbells or 6, listening to 3 songs or 4 on my way to classes, to speak up once in a discussion with a long, detailed response or two short ones, to run a mile or a mile and a hundred feet, to get up at 8:30 or 8:40, to call a friend to talk about classes or talk about football (or both?), to read 20 pages or 22 every day outside of class - it all adds up.

Life shouldn’t be taken so seriously. The meticulousness is turning me into a person I would hate as a kid. This needs to stop.

BW.

I’m open to you all’s ideas/suggestions about where in Germany you know cool places to visit that many people usually overlook. I’d be stretching myself too thin 🤡 if I spent another hour or two every day researching underrated places, so if anyone has ideas -👍🏻🫶🏼🤝🤲🫡.

That being said, I’m getting recommendations at every step. Just now on the ICE (high-speed rail system) I was talking to a guy from Ulm, who happened to be a big Munich 1860 fan. He said their fanbase is fanbasemaxxing hard (paraphrased masterfully) in the Bavarian capital.

Coming soon: Tübingen, Köln, and München. Berlin is so far away tho😭

Olympic Ambitions

While reading Tom Bissell's Chasing the Sea, I was surprised to discover that back in 1992, newly independent Uzbekistan actually put in a bid to host the 2000 Olympic Games. Tashkent, having inherited antiquated soviet sports facilities, was tossed into a suicidal rivalry against the likes of Berlin, Milan, Manchester, Istanbul, and Beijing.

Bissel describes Tashkent during his visit to Uzbekistan in 2001, with posters all over Broadway near Amir Temur Square featuring Islam Karimov looking like a star athlete. “The next poster featured Karimov the Athlete, first dribbling a basketball; then in full tennis regalia (Karimov was such an apostle of the sport he lured a major international tennis championship to Tashkent and built for it a jumbo stadium); then playing chess, seemingly against himself, on an airplane. The last poster was not of Karimov at all but showed Uzbek athletes doing judo, swimming, boxing, playing water polo, and even planting an Uzbek flag atop Everest. I then realized these posters were the remnants of Tashkent’s most recent campaign to host the Olympic Games, something its city fathers had tried and failed to arrange for four Olympics running.”

Despite this bold bid, Uzbekistan faced significant skepticism due to its post-Soviet economic struggles and concerns about whether it could handle the massive financial and infrastructure demands of hosting the Olympics.

Fast forward to 2024, and Uzbekistan is giving it another shot—this time bidding to host the 2030 Asian Games. Compared to 32 years ago, we're in a much better place, with recent Olympic successes and a strong track record in the Asian Games.

Now, with a much stronger portfolio—especially since we’re already hosting the Futsal World Cup—Uzbekistan might just have what it takes to win the bid and perhaps even set itself up for a future Olympic bid.

Tashkent's Long-Shot Olympic Bid: Oodles of Hospitality, Few Facilities

There are no world-class sports facilities in this Central Asian desert oasis, no modern airport, no lakes for yachting.
