What's your favorite app on your phone right now? >> Okay, I really like an app called Readwise. Readwise is basically an app that it synchronizes with all your Kindle highlights. Like on an iPhone, you know, at the bottom of the thing, you see I've got like messages, WhatsApp, email, and Read Wise. And so every day I can just see random highlights from books that I've read anywhere, anytime in the last 10 years, cuz I've been reading stuff on Kindle since like 2008. And so I've got 17 years worth of highlights on this, and I just sort of flick through them on the toilet sometimes. And I find that this this to be a very nice way to scroll uh rather than to scroll on social media platforms.
