Been pretty busy these days, my improvement plans are going but a little slow compared to what I've intended. I always take more time than planned to finish my activities, although my project's going fine right now, its still gonna take longer to get
First one about harsh truths on becoming a better person, I believe it is the reality of life, as harsh as it is but seriously, its about Utilitarism and Materialism rather than idealism.

I also got to read about David Pearce, its interesting to see that a lot of people from many different disciplines have joined (or started in his case!) the Transhumanist movement:

And finally for my number one time waster! I've been watching this series on vacations (my sis forced me too but now I'm a fan) and gotta admit is even better than the movies, Cumberbatch's acting is incredible and the music, the story, it all is so fitting with the old Sherlock myths but at the same time the modernism and tech in the story makes it even more appealing.
They even got to the task of creating the character's personal blog. Very interesting and highly recommended story. I haven't watched the last of season 2 due to lack of time but will once I get the chance. Besides, I'm waiting for season 3 to air, hope it gets soon!
