# A volta ao mundo em 80 dias

Passepartout era um simpático rapaz de fisionomia amável, lábios um pouco salientes (sempre prontos a saborear ou acariciar), um ser doce e servil, com uma dessas boas caras redondas que gostamos de ver sobre os ombros de um amigo. Ele tinha olhos azuis, a fronte vívida, o rosto redondo o suficiente para que ele próprio pudesse ver suas bochechas, um grande peitoral, a constituição forte, uma musculatura vigorosa, e era dotado de uma força hercúlea, que os exercícios de sua juventude haviam desenvolvido. Seus cabelos castanhos eram um pouco selvagens. Se os escultores da Antiguidade conheciam dezoito maneiras de organizar a cabeleira de Minerva, Passepartout conhecia apenas uma para dispor a sua: três passadas de pente e estava arrumado.

Sir Francis corrigiu, então, a hora dada por Passepartout, a quem fez a mesma observação que este já recebera de Fix. Tentou fazê-lo compreender que ele devia ajustar o relógio de acordo com cada novo meridiano, e que, como iam constantemente rumo ao leste, isto é, ao encontro do sol, os dias se tornavam quatro minutos

Sua delgada e flexível cintura, que apenas uma mão consegue envolver, realça a elegante curvatura de suas ancas arredondadas e a riqueza de seu busto, onde a juventude em flor expõe seus tesouros mais perfeitos.

Justamente em Hong Kong morava um de seus parentes, pársi como ela e um dos principais negociantes daquela cidade, que é absolutamente inglesa e ocupa um ponto da costa da China.

Esses fiéis, inimigos obstinados do budismo, são seguidores fervorosos da religião bramânica, encarnada nestes três personagens: Vishnu, a divindade solar, Shiva, a personificação divina das forças naturais, e Brahma, o mestre supremo dos sacerdotes e dos legisladores.

# Models - Attract Women Through Honesty (Mark Manson)

This isn’t just about intellectually understanding how to stand, how to talk, how to behave. This isn’t “faking it until you make it.” It’s deeper than that. This is about intellectually processing the ideas that will cause your emotions to shift, which will then lead to permanent and unconscious changes that transform you into the attractive male you can be.

# Novas ideias para livros

Como Escrever, aproveitando todo o histórico do blogue as mudanças na publicação, no workflow, as mudanças de início com textos técnicos e me forçando a escrever reviews de filmes, a grande massa de conteúdo, como trabalhar edição.

Como Aprender a Programar com IA, reavaliando meu blogue técnico e meu próprio aprendizado, o que faria hoje de diferente, como ativar de fato o aprendizado em vez de virar um proxy de carne.

Como Ativar Túneis de Realidade e Voltar ao Estado Zen, a mistura psicodélica entre todos os estudos que fiz até agora sobre consciência e autoaprimoramento.

O plano geral dessas ideia é focar inicialmente no Como Escrever para validar meu workflow atual para a geração de um livro mínimo com estrutura boa o suficiente para ser provada e com isso também finalizar a versão 1 do meu publicador do começo ao fim (da estrutura na escrita até editoração) para daí conseguir desovar o resto das ideias. Refletir e dormir sobre essas ideias por um tempo.

# The Stress of Life

Stress is not even necessarily bad for you; it is also the spice of life, for any emotion, any “activity causes stress. But, of course, your system must be prepared to take it. The same stress which makes one person sick can be anvinvigorating experience for another.

The secret of health and happiness lies in successful adjustment to the ever-changing conditions on this globe; the penalties for failure in this great process of adaptation are disease and unhappiness. The evolution through endless centuries from the simplest forms of life to complex human beings was the greatest adaptive adventure on earth. The realization of this has fundamentally influenced our thinking, but there is not much we can do about it. Here we are, such as we are; and whether or not man is pleased with the result, he cannot change his own inherited structure.

In the light of research on stress, my advice would be: Fight always for the highest attainable aim But never put up resistance in vain.

(...) you can objectively assess the magnitude of stress by its measurable effects upon the body.

Finally it was discovered that the G.A.S. and the L.A.S. are interdependent. General stress can influence local stress-reactions, for instance, through hormones (particularly corticoids), which regulate inflammation. Conversely, local stress, if strong enough, can produce general stress and thereby mobilize defensive organs located far from the site of injury. Through chemical messengers (the alarm signals) each of the many local stress-reactions, which happen to go on in the various parts of the body at any one time, has a voice in determining the extent of the general counterstress measures to be taken (see p. 85).

Not only our mental, but even our bodily defense reactions may become stereotyped if we are faced with the same kind of problem again and again. A man can hurt himself by reacting to every proposition according to a set pattern: say, by habitually ridiculing, complaining, agreeing, or disagreeing “on principle.” Prejudice is the most common basis for such prejudged, unchangeable mental response-patterns. Everybody is aware of this, but it is less well known that our bodily defense reactions can also fall into a groove, for instance, by always responding with the same exaggerated hormonal response, whether it is appropriate to the situation or not.

Another way to deal with essentially the same problems is to provide complete rest, which gives the body time to “forget” stereotyped somatic reactions to stress. Prolonged sleep (e.g., that induced by barbiturates), artificial hibernation, and treatment with such quieting drugs as chlorpromazine and extracts of the Rauwolfia root appear to act largely through this mechanism.

Generally speaking, undernutrition sensitizes the body for anti-inflammatory corticoids, and overeating augments the effect of proinflammatory hormones.

As Logan Pearsall Smith says, “How awful to reflect that what people say of us is true!” Yet it is well worth the effort and humiliation, for most of our tensions and frustrations stem from compulsive needs to act the role of someone we are not. Only he who knows himself can profit by the advice of Matthew Arnold: Resolve to be thyself: and know that he Who finds himself, loses his misery.

Our failure to adjust ourselves correctly to life-situations is at the very root of the disease-producing conflicts. Psychoanalysis cures because it helps us to adapt ourselves to what has happened.

Almost éverybody has had, at some time or other, some insignificant allergic condition of the skin, cardiac palpitations, or intestinal upsets; any of these can cause serious illness through psychosomatic reactions merely because not knowing what is wrong makes us worry. Every physician knows from experience how much can be done for a patient by just taking time to explain the mechanism of his symptoms which thereby lose the frightening element of mystery. To help with this is one of the principal objectives of this book.

Whether we suffer from a boil on the skin, a disease of the kidney, or a troubled mind, careful study of the condition will usually reveal it to consist of three major elements: 1. The stressor, the external agent which started the trouble, for instance, by acting directly upon the skin, the kidney, or the mind. 2. The defensive measures, such as the hormones and nervous

stimuli which encourage the body to defend itself against the stressor as well as it can. In the case of bodily.injuries, this may be accomplished by putting up a barricade of inflamed tissue in the path of the invading stressor (the microbe, allergen, and so forth). Mental stressors (orders, challenges, offenses) are met with corresponding complex emotional defensive responses, which can be summed up as the attitude of “not being done in.” 3. The mechanisms for surrender, such as hormonal and nervous stimuli, which encourage the body not to defend itself. For instance, not to put up barricades of inflamed tissue in the path of invaders, and to ignore emotional stressors.

It is interesting to learn that identifiable chemical compounds, the hormones produced during the acute alarm-reaction phase of the G.A.S., possess this property of first keying up for action and then causing a depression. Both these effects may be of great practical value to the body: it is necessary to be keyed up for peak-accomplishments, but it is equally important to be keyed down by the secondary phase of depression, which prevents us from carrying on too long at top speed.

it is instructive to know that stress stimulates our glands to make hormones which can induce a kind of drunkenness. Without knowing this, no one would ever think of checking his conduct as carefully during stress as he does at a cocktail party. Yet he should.

This may seem odd; you may feel that there is no conceivable relationship between the behavior of our cells (for instance, in inflammation) and our conduct in everyday life. I do not agree. All the reactions of our body are governed by general biologic laws and the simplest way to understand these is to examine how they affect the simplest tissue-reactions.

If only a small region is injured, a strong inflammatory reaction will be the best response, since inflammation has a local protective value;

(...) but if several parts of the body are simultaneously injured, the patient may not be able to stand maximal inflammatory reactions everywhere. Thus it is often in the best interests of the body as a whole to sacrifice some of its parts by cutting down local defensive activities.

Now, since stress is a common attribute of all biologic activities, these considerations apply not only to inflammation, but to all types of biologic work. For instance, the intensity of inflammation in a knee joint may be diminished, not only by inflammation in other regions, but also by excessive muscular work, nervous activity, or anything else that requires effort. This is so because any part under stress sends out alarm-signals to coordinate resistance. For the same reason, any intense reaction in one part can influence (and, to some extent, etuajize) all kinds of biologic activities in other parts of the sarfie body.

To put this into the simplest terms, we might say that the stress-quotient to be watched is: local stress in any one part total stress in the body If there is proportionately too much stress in any one part, you need diversion. If there is too much stress in the body as a whole, you must rest.

I have described elsewhere in this book the animal experiments which shéwed that every living being has a certain innate amount of adaptation energy or vitality.

The great art is to express our vitality through the particular channels and at the particular speed which nature foresaw for us.

But if we are just doing too much—though even not too much of any one thing—the problem is one of excessive general stress. This can be met only by rest. It cannot be handled either by deviation or by more stress. Here the great remedy is to learn how to enjoy laziness and how to sleep. I have often tried to enjoy laziness, but I have never succeeded. I suppose it is just not in my nature. I am afraid, if you want to learn this art, you will have to read another author. But, for a long time, I have suffered from insomnia, and I did learn how to sleep, so perhaps I might say a few words about this now.

A stressful activity which has come to a definite stop prepares you for rest and sleep; but one which sets up self-maintaining tensions keeps you awake.

The fact is that by the time you retire it is too late for anything except the sleeping pill. It is during the whole day that you must prepare your dreams; for, if you are subject to insomnia, whatever you do during the day, your next night’s sleep depends largely on how you do it.

Do not let yourself get carried away and keyed up more than is necessary to acquire the momentum for the best performance of what you want to do in the interest of self-expression. If you get keyed up too much, especially during the later hours of the day, your stress-reaction may carry over into the night.

Your insomnia has a chemical basis, which cannot easily be talked away after it has developed: and at night in bed it is too late to prevent it from developing.

Nature likes variety. Remember this, not only in planning your day, but in planning your life. Our civilization tends to force people into highly specialized occupations which may become monotonously repetitive. Remember that stress is the great equalizer of biologic activities and if you use the same parts of your body or mind over and over again, the only means nature has to force you out of the groove is: stress.

When so defined, the close relationship between aging and stress becomes particularly evident. Stress is the sum of all the wear and tear caused by any kind of vital reaction throughout the body at any one time. That is why it can act as a common denominator of all the biologic changes which go on in the body; it is a kind of “speedometer of life.”

True age depends largely on the rate of wear and tear, on the speed of self-consumption; for life is essentially a process which gradually spends the given amount of adaptation energy that we inherited from our parents. Vitality is like a special kind of bank account which you can use up by withdrawals but cannot incréase by deposits. Your only control over this most precious fortune is the rate at which you make your withdrawals. The solution is evidently not to stop withdrawing, for this would be death. Nor is it to withdraw just enough for survival, for this would permit only a vegetative life, worse than death. The intelligent thing to do is to withdraw generously, but never expend wastefully.

Apparently, there are two kinds of adaptation energy: the superficial kind, which is ready to use, and the deeper kind, which acts as a sort of frozen reserve. When superficial adaptation energy is exhausted during exertion, it can slowly be restored from a deeper store during rest. This gives a certain plasticity to our resistance. It also protects us from wasting adaptation energy too lavishly in certain foolish moments, because acute fatigue automatically stops us.

But there is always one part which wears out first and wrecks the whole human machinery, merely because the other parts cannot function without it.

The lesson seems to be that, as far as man can regulate his life by voluntary actions, he should seek to equalize stress throughout his being, by what we have called deviation,

We have seen in a previous passage through what ‘mechanisms stress itself can act as an equalizer of biologic activities (see p. 266); but it is equally true that stress, perhaps precisely due fo its equaliting elect, gives an excellent chance to develop inrlate potential talents, no matter where they may be slumbering in the mind or body. In fact, ttisonly in the heat of stress that individuality can be petteAly molded.

The features of a species reflect the cumulative memories of past generations; individuality results from the gradual engraving upon this inherited background of personal memories (including “biochemical memories”) as they are acquired during a single life-span.

When general stress is excessive the whole organism needs a rest; it cannot afford a struggle anywhere. This provides an opportunity to try again and again, even after repeated failures, until the best distribution of organ-development is reached and the individual is fully molded in harmony with his inherited potentialities and the demands made upon him by his surroundings. Of course, congenital aptitudes form the base-line of adaptability. They depend upon evolution and inheritance from ancestors and parents, but the manifest features of a person are largely the result of the stresses to which this adaptability is then exposed during the individual’s own lifetime.

In practice, when it comes to guiding human conduct, it seems that we must all bow to the great law which says that what is in us must express itself; in fact

(...) it must express itself at a speed and in directions predetermined by our own inherited structure. This is largely true, but not quite—and on the little untruth in this dictum rests my whole philosophy of life.

The two great limiting factors over which, once in flight, he has no contro! are: the fuel supply and the wear and tear that the weakest vital part of his plane can tolerate.

The two great limiting factors—which are set once a man is born —are: his supply of adaptation energy and the wear and tear that the weakest vital part of his body can tolerate.

First, the real fuel of life is not the combustible (food) we take, but adaptability, because the living machine can make considerable

(...) repairs and adjustments en route, as long as it has adaptation energy.

With this it can assimilate caloric energy from its surroundings. Consequently, resting an overworked part in the body helps not only by “cooling it down” but also by permitting it to make major repairs and even improvements in its structure.

But, you see, it is part of my philosophy that I must express myself, so I cannot help it. It was indeed very stressful to spend all my adult life in the laboratory, working on stress; it was perhaps even more stressful to express my thoughts in the form of this book. But well do I know that not to express all this would have been much more stressful still.

Do we always look for rewards because we need some cumulative indicator which tells us to what extent we have accomplished self-expression? If this were so, it would explain why purely sensual satisfaction—the enjoyment of any among the pleasures of the flesh—has never been a truly satisfactory long-range aim for man. No matter how acute the happiness they give, the pleasures of the flesh are ephemeral; they cannot be accumulated in the form of any kind of riches. They cannot give us the sense of a mission well accomplished, of having earned some type of wealth which assures our security.

The lasting manifestations of interpersonal stress—just as those of stress arising within any one individual—can be a gain or a loss, depending upon circumstances. The principal difference is that, in’ interpersonal stress, the lasting asset manifests itself as a feeling of gratitude, and the liability as an urge for revenge. Ps

I think in the final analysis that gratitude and revenge are the most important factors governing our actions in everyday life; upon them also chiefly depend our peace of mind, our feelings of security or insecurity, of fulfillment or frustration, in short, the extent to which we can make a success of life.

Gratitude is the awakening in another person of the wish that I should prosper, because of what I have done for him. It is perhaps the most characteristically human way of assuring security (homeostasis). It takes away the motive for a clash between selfish and selfless tendencies, because, by inspiring the feeling of gratitude, I have induced another person to share with me my natural wish for my own well-being.

Now, revenge is the awakening in another person of the wish that I should not prosper, because of what I have done to him.

It is the most important threat to security (homeostasis).

This brings us to the general problem of working for a reward. Both gratitude and revenge are feelings concerned with reward; they are themselves, in a sense, remunerations: the former-for good, the latter for bad actions. But the important point is that both of these types of reward have common, fundamental qualities which might fit them to act as ultimate aims.

We need not give much thought to revenge; it is nothing but a grotesque malformation of our urge to teach; a kind of “disease of the teaching instinct.” It has no virtue whatever, and can only hurt both the giver and the receiver of its fruits. The seeds of any fruit can only reproduce the tree they come from. Revenge generates more revenge; gratitude tends to incite still more gratitude. No sane person would consciously select the savage satisfactions of the vendetta as an ultimate aim in life.

# O Bug do Sublinhado Azul Fantasma no Google Docs para Android (e como contorná-lo)

_Este é o primeiro texto que eu não escrevi. Fiz a investigação, pedi para a IA escrever e revisei. Está bom o suficiente e serve como aprendizado._

Se você utiliza o aplicativo do Google Docs no Android para escrever ou revisar textos longos, é bem provável que já tenha se deparado com uma situação frustrante: de repente, palavras perfeitamente corretas ganham um sublinhado azul contínuo, poluindo o texto sem motivo aparente.

A reação natural é tentar desativar todas as opções de correção ortográfica no teclado (como o Gboard), no próprio Android e até na versão web do Google Docs. No entanto, o sublinhado continua reaparecendo.

Recentemente, investiguei a fundo esse comportamento no app para entender o que realmente causa essa marcação fantasma e como é possível escrever sem esse ruído visual.

O Diagnóstico: O que realmente causa o sublinhado?

Diferente do sublinhado vermelho (usualmente associado a erros de digitação) ou do traço do teclado durante a composição, esse sublinhado azul em palavras corretas surge de forma assíncrona. Você abre o documento, começa a editar um parágrafo e, após alguns segundos, o app aplica a marcação — mesmo sem o cursor estar próximo à palavra.

Após testar e isolar todas as camadas do sistema, as seguintes etapas foram verificadas:

• Serviço de Verificação Ortográfica do Android: Desativado nas configurações do sistema.
• Configurações de Teclado (Gboard): Autocorreção e verificação ortográfica desligadas.
• Preferências da Conta na Web (Desktop): Sugestões gramaticais e de ortografia desmarcadas em docs.google.com.
• Idioma do Sistema: Alinhado para evitar divergências no dicionário nativo.

Mesmo com todas as travas desativadas, o sublinhado persistia.

O teste definitivo: A análise em segundo plano

O teste decisivo para isolar o problema foi colocar o dispositivo em Modo Avião (offline):

Em Modo Avião: Durante edições contínuas sem conexão à internet, o parágrafo permaneceu completamente limpo, sem exibir nenhum sublinhado.

Com Conexão Reestabelecida: Assim que o Wi-Fi ou dados móveis foram reativados, o app enviou o bloco de texto para os servidores e trouxe a marcação azul de volta em segundos.

Isso comprova que se trata de um bug ou limitação de comportamento do próprio app do Google Docs para Android. O aplicativo ignora as bandeiras de preferência do usuário configuradas localmente e na conta, forçando uma requisição em segundo plano aos servidores do Google para aplicar análises de estilo e gramática server-side.

O Workaround: Como escrever sem distrações

Como a causa está na rotina do aplicativo que força a busca por sugestões na nuvem, as configurações padrão do app não resolvem o problema até que o Google envie uma atualização de correção.

Atualmente, a solução mais eficaz para quem busca um ambiente de escrita limpo é:

Escrever e editar no Modo Avião: Ao desativar temporariamente a conexão com a internet enquanto escreve, você impede que o aplicativo faça a requisição remota, mantendo a interface totalmente livre dos sublinhados indesejados. Ao finalizar o texto, basta reconectar para sincronizar o documento na nuvem.
