Wash my hands a lot, stay indoors, avoid people.

And if Ebola got loose around here, I guess I'd do that then, too.

I think "indifferent" is probably more accurate. The baboon didn't do it out of malice, the idea probably just didn't occur to it.

That actually strikes me as even more grim, in some ways. Nature isn't out to get you, nature just doesn't care at all. It just is.

Only my own anecdotal study here. It's not total darkness, because I'm in a well-windowed cube farm (along a far wall that has no windows, though), so there's still a bit of ambient light.

I always tell people that if it's worth memorizing because you use it a lot, you'll probably memorize it because you use it a lot anyway. If you have to make a point to memorize something, it's a hint to consider if it's worth the time.

Similar here - my cube is as dark as I can get it (which really just means the lights directly overhead are off), and my monitors are at the minimum brightness setting. My screens glow, guys. I don't need to light them up externally.

Seems to be throwing an error when I try to start a conference. Sounds interesting though.
