You're right. Since I'm an introvert myself, I enjoy organizing events and inviting people over, because as the host, I always have a reason to change locations and get some “space” when the socializing becomes too much for me.

You bet, here's a quote from Wiki:
> Due to the island's unusual geography, it has been described as “the most alien-looking place on Earth”.

Re:Designing a simpler and transparent tax system

In "The Revolution of the Giving Hand" (2009), Peter Sloterdijk proposes replacing mandatory taxation with voluntary contributions. He criticizes the state as a "fiscal feudalism" that expropriates citizens and instead advocates for a culture of generosity, where wealthy individuals voluntarily fund public services.
He points to American philanthropy as a model. Critics argue this is unrealistic since essential state functions depend on reliable tax revenue. Sloterdijk’s idea is thought-provoking but difficult to implement.
Could a voluntary tax system actually work? I really like the idea.

The HTML Tags Memory Test [0] game refers to 114 tags. Your link got 113. I wonder what's missing?

Yes, something like that. Become aware of every single part of the body step by step, but remember that the goal is to relax and fall asleep. So there is no pressure to work for 60 minutes and try to stay awake to complete all body parts.
You can do this in the morning when you wake up as well. It's a great way to start your day.

After I go to bed and read a few pages, I do a mindfull excercise where I focus on every single muscle from my toes to my hands for about five seconds. This helps me get to sleep faster.
How do you usually structure your day to get to bed earlier, I can't answer that one.
