I’m tempted to read this as doomsday dark euphoria, but that would just be projection. But definitely some obliviousness to state of world.

It’s basically like wildfire day air quality and visibility now

There’s a sociopathic streak to this. “Eff your air, buddy.”

I’d totally trade fireworks technology for telescope-dark urban skies. Kinda feasible… sodium vapor low light. Infrared vision for driverless cars…

Was still going up past 327 when I gave up and came back indoors.

Normal indoors is under 10. Currently with a filter and fan going it’s still bad indoors. My cat has also not been happy all evening. I guess this is an issue on which I’ve done a proper 180 as an adult. As recently as a decade ago, I happily went to fireworks shows.

I’m currently doing the Zoe continuous glucose monitoring thing and getting really sensitized to measures that make hidden externalities visible. Blood glucose, air quality. What gets measured does get managed.

It’s been shocking to see for myself how refined flour and added sugar are basically glucose firework bombs in blood. It’s given me anti-junk-food religion.

No need to preach these things. Just put glucose and air quality sensors on every phone. Magically changes minds like it did mine.

One of the best ways to pwn free market forces is to make a new measure of a hitherto unpriced externality ubiquitous. If you dislike evil capitalists the best revenge is to use the power of the market against them.

Morning after. Indoor pm2.5 4. Outdoor: 34 (~= burning food a bit in kitchen but not too much)
AQI from AirNow (last 2h average I think): 165.
Visibility: poor.

I recall being in CGM device meetings in 2011, and in quantified self social meet-ups in 2013.
Surprising how slow this space has been (for lack of funding IMO). Easy to fit Atmo sensors into a G-Shock form. But never been done.
