That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquility. Rumi

“Sometimes you have to lose your mind before you come to your senses.”
— Socrates
“There are periods in the life of humanity, which generally coincide with the beginning and the fall of cultures and civilizations, when the masses irretrievably lose their reason and begin to destroy everything that has been created by centuries and millenniums of culture. Such periods of mass madness, often coinciding with geological cataclysms, climactic changes, and similar phenomena of a planetary character, release a very great quantity of the matter of knowledge. This, in turn, necessitates the work of collecting this matter of knowledge which would otherwise be lost. Thus the work of collecting scattered matter of knowledge frequently coincides with the beginning of the destruction and fall of cultures and civilizations”.
He goes on to say that in times of “mass madness”, such as revolutions and wars, “men seem to lose even the small amount of common sense they had and turn into complete automatons, giving themselves over to wholesale destruction in vast numbers” and “[o]wing to this, enormous quantities of knowledge remain, so to speak, unclaimed and can be distributed among those who realize its value”.
Cheio de Deus, não temo o que virá pois venha o que vier, nunca será maior do que a minha alma.
Fernando Pessoa

Skip Google for Research
As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse. It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms
As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable. As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.
Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.
⁂
Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.
www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.
www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.
https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.
www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.
http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.
www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.
www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.
www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free

sometimes people just need a listening ear. they don't need your advice, they need your presence. they need you to listen, while they untangle all the thoughts that seem to be bothering them. all you need to do is sit next to them, while they try to fix themselves. let them come to the solution on their own. it's often more believable when it comes from within. people try too hard to give a logical fix, but the solution isn't always logical when the problem is emotional. your friend probably knows all the things you want to say to them too. they don't need you to shove it down their face again. listen. acknowledge when it's appropriate. your presence is good enough.
