A reminder of how simple buildings can be. We’ve overcomplicated them. This is an old building in Helsinki’s city center. Stripped of surface rendering—color and ornaments—it is a monolithic red brick wall. Every pre-mid-century building in Helsinki is like this.

one of the most interesting things i saw happen when my wife got pregnant and became a mother was how much of the world just stopped mattering to her she used to be interested in current events and world news, but then she became a mother and just... stopped caring. she still knows what's happening and we talk about it, but it doesn't bother her anymore. about 90% of the mundane problems, politics, social issues and internet drama that used to occupy her mental space are just gone at the same time, her views became much more conservative and detached from politics in general pregnancy and motherhood seem to completely reorder the hierarchy of what matters

Remun kysymys on erinomainen, koska se osuu taas yhteen liberalismin ristiriitaan: Velkapohjainen talousjärjestelmä (joka on nimenomaan juuri liberalismin luomus) vaatii jatkuvaa työntekoa, kuluttamista, tuottavuuden nousua, velan palvelua ja lopulta myös kiihtyvää verojen

@david_perell Good explanations, all of them. However, I believe the real reason is inflation. I explain it in this short paper: era.fi/mw.pdf

Let me tell you something, comrade. No American thinks we are exceptional because we are richer, stronger and more powerful than everyone else. We are exceptional because we are American. It is our value system that built wealth, strength, and power. It was the American values etched into the souls of generations of people in this country that built what we have today. Those values are something you clearly cannot understand, or you choose not to, because they would require you building something of your own. Our nation was founded by people who simply wanted a chance to build something for themselves. It wasn’t about being richer than others. It wasn’t about being more powerful than others. It wasn’t about being stronger than others. It’s certainly wasn’t built on what you propose, this hideous belief that you or anyone is somehow entitled to what other people built. That is the antithesis of America. Your ideas would have been laughed out of America 250 years ago. You ran an entire mayoral campaign on seizing assets from others. The sheer concept of expecting the government to force hard-working people to feed, house, and fund other able-bodied men and women would have been roundly ridiculed. In fact, that is why people migrated to America. It was about freedom. They fled oppressive government, they fled the type of tyranny you are promoting. Where their work was not theirs, where the fruits of their labor were taken from them. They fled here not expecting a handout, but simply hoping for a chance to build something on their own. A chance to bet on themselves. That dream is still vibrantly alive today for the those that choose to work hard and pursue it. You, of course, sell that it is not possible. That it is a zero sum game. That the success of one group must therefore be at the expense of another group, which is a disgusting lie disguised as “promoting fairness”. That is the opposite of our American value system. In America, we believe in abundance. We believe in hard work. We believe in merit. We believe in earning things. We believe if you learn, work hard, and do your best, doors will open. And they do. Every time. Those beliefs are what made America exceptional, and that is why America continues to be the greatest country in the history of mankind. All despite men like you.

This year, I wish you less — less information, less food, less entertainment, less communication, less stimulation. You already have too much of all that, and it stands in the way of your serenity, health, sleep, and creativity. Merry Christmas! ☦️

Languages work via rough consensus You cannot define words solely by yourself; you must use common definitions to communicate with others speaking the same language If you define a word alone, you hard-fork into a private language with no one to speak it with, quickly

Endless money printing is the source of most of your economic woes. It's not 'billionaires', 'capitalism', or any particular race of people. Your pounds, dollars, euros, naira, and yen are devalued daily. And as long as the problem is misdiagnosed, it will continue forever.
