I recently came across this chart for our total energy consumption in Germany for 2024 and the biggest circle is the red one for fuel in the transport column. 644 TWh 🤯 Only about 20% of the energy in fuel is converted into movement, the rest is wasted as heat. (80% of 644 TWh = 515 TWh) According to the Federal Environment Agency, all private households used 465 TWh to heat our homes in 2024. Let that (heat)sink in: We produce more excess heat by burning fuel than we need for heating.

Notion is such a good example of a tool with a team that did not know when to stop and reflect, but just kept adding. We had a brilliant drawing teacher and sculptor in university. I was very pleased with one of my drawings and kept going, adding more and more details. He suddenly stood behind me and shouted: "Stop! You are riding a dead horse here!" I had killed what was already good by not stopping. That lesson really stuck with me.

OMG this is so good:
