You touch on people who pursue extremes in very different fields, from endurance sports to science and music. How do you think someone figures out whether they are drawn to an idea because it is genuinely meaningful to them, or simply because it feels impressive from the outside?

In my opinion, genuine vs fleeting interest can be evaluated by what one would happily do in an empty room, over and over again. The actual performance is maybe 1% of an athlete or a musician’s life. Versus, if it’s only fleeting, you’ll scan it from the surface and then move on.

I have no idea what to expect next while reading any topic of the Jukebox. Always an adventure.

It was indeed, a very hard left from the vineyards towards leafy edibles. I had to scroll up to check, like 3 times to figure out how we are running the booziest race and the next second talking about vegetables. What a sorcery. Hat tip.

Such a treat 😊. Those marathons sound insane. All marathons sound insane to a couch potato like me 😄
