Re:Ask HN: What are your non-tech hobbies? by gigantecmedia on Sunday September 05, 2021 @12:10AM (#28421563)
- Reading books (most recently, Nassim Taleb's books) - Running (before lockdowns, now home workout is a very good alternative) - Fasting - Philosophy (Rene Girard, ancient Roman philosophy) - History (my home country of course... also love the story of how Mehmed the Conqueror overtook Constantinople and ended Roman empire) - Travel (mostly due to work but I always appreciated and respect the local cultures and landscapes) - Art - Music - Movies - Cars (most favs are Porsche as a modern business, and of course Tesla) Recently, due to lockdowns I fall in love with cooking too.

cool combination ,

Nassim Taleb and Rene Girard are one of most of the profound intellectuals I've come across, the world never looked the same after reading the black swan. and I'm still digesting Girard.
