Hey there, you're reading issue #61 

Big thank you to everyone last week that showed support for the newsletter! All of you seemed to love the idea of a telegram group, so I've made a private group for all those that support The Slice with a coffee, and you will be added to the group FOREVER. 

In in other news, the last week has been pretty crazy for me to the point where last night I hadn't written anything for todays issue. Im currently in that uncomfortable stage of my life where my old self is gone but my new self isn't fully born yet. As of now I'm in the midst of a transformation that I'm super stoked about but also fearful with because of the uncertainly that lies ahead of me - this kinda gives me a little kick too. 

Decided to keep todays intro a little shorter than usual as I spent most of today trying to get a vaccine shot. Was Successful!

It’s hard to be a moral person. Technology is making it harder..
"Digital distractions such as social media and smartphones wreak havoc on our attention spans. Could they also be making us less ethical?"

An old friend had posted a status update saying he needed to rush to the hospital because he was having a health crisis. I half-choked on my tea and stared at my laptop. I recognized the post as a plea for support. I felt fear for him, and then … I did nothing about it, because I saw in another tab that I’d just gotten a new email and went to check that instead. Read More

Why is it so hard to be rational.
"The real challenge isn’t being right but knowing how wrong you might be."

I planned to be a creative-writing major; Greg told me that he was deciding between physics and economics.
