    Love this. I was lucky to be raised by amazing women and accidental magic has permeated my life. Now I was thinking about deliberate magic and this popped in.

    She deserves the standing ovation. What a great talk and a great speaker. But what the most amazing thing is that she never stop smiling through out the talk

    No, you don’t create magic. You create diabetes. Nature creates magic, but you bypass it. You misslead it. Feeding is about health and pleasure. Not only pleasure.

    Baking is magic you have the same ingredients but the cake my sister makes from a box or even her experimental seasalt icecream cake was amazing because we share a birthday. I had a bashing twin because my mom wanted to fit in to her size zero wedding dress while two months pregnant. My sister came in the middle of my fifth birthday. All my friends were sent home I was alone . I loaded up my presents to see the new sister at the hospital. Every present. They are for her it’s her birthday now. And she is the greatest present I ever got. She is the sam to my Dean. And I ate that experimental seasalt icecream cake. Because she made it with love spent days experimenting. I had always wanted an ice ream cake but dairy was forbidden because my mom was intorent of lactose and so we ordered pizzas with no cheese. They say smell is most associated with memory. Like I used lavander oil to study for the SATs. But I can’t get that seasalt ice cream taste outofmy mouth or that memory that makes me cry because she is the most magical person I know. Keep fighting Sammy.

    Nothing kills more people than sugar, I hope she knows that.

    • Lasergun

      March 24, 2022 at 7:27 am

      Wrong, it’s not sugar, it might be excess sugar consumption, but not sugar itself. Blame the bad habit of eating too much, not the healthy reasonable enjoyment of one of the most important nutrients.

    Good talk over all, that I enjoy but 10:55 would be better to decide your organization heads based on their value as employees instead of based/excluding by gender, that’s definitely not a thing you should copy or be inspired by

    Real Magic?

    _”“I’m writing a book on magic”, I explain, and I’m asked, “Real magic?” By real magic people mean miracles, thaumaturgical acts, and supernatural powers. “No”, I answer: “Conjuring tricks, not real magic”. Real magic, in other words, refers to the magic that is not real, while the magic that is real, that can actually be done, is not real magic.”_ – philosopher Daniel C. Dennett

      “Tosi” in Finnish means “real” as a side note. ????
