Things that I ruminate over

I read that Afghanistan they banned women singing in public (NPR). What is the mental state, and the assumptions in your head that makes that a possibility, and in a society, what makes that a possibility. It's not clear whether they can sing on Twitter. Supposedly they want to boost the economy with tourism. What kind of woman wants to go to a country where she can't sing in public if she wants?

I read the other day that a fellow didn't eat for 382 days. He did it while he was in a hospital. He had vitamins and yeast, and put milk and sugar in his coffee and tea towards the end. He lost He lost 276. People had to push him through the door of a bus to go to a soccer game, and that is what led him to realizing he should lose some weight. He went 48 days sometimes without pooping. They began to break the fast by giving him sugar water, so if you count that time, he went 392 days without solid food. Barbieri had his first solid meal on 11 July 1966: a boiled egg and a slice of buttered bread. He said "I have forgotten what food tasted like ... I thoroughly enjoyed it".
