It's hard to have a second when Maradona himself is second. Statistically, Messi is better. Trophy-wise, Messi is better. The only area where they come close is style of play since they are both dribbling playmaking forwards.

You must've been watching from a different universe in the multiverse then. Messi was class in the tournament and only responded "nastily" to the Netherlands since they were playing dirty and running their mouths disrespectfu

Mbappe is like a combination of Ronaldo Nazario and Thierry Henry. He needs to stay injury-free, however. And at some point he will need to adapt his game to account for the eventual loss of pace that comes with age.

The debate should be settled now. In terms of trophies, Messi is the GOAT. In terms of statistics (goals, assists, dribbles), Messi is the GOAT. In terms of style of play, Messi is the GOAT. Pele, Maradona, and Cristiano are not on his leve

But that's my point: just because a society has a democratic political system does not mean everything has to be run through the same mechanism. Sometimes, the experts need to override the people, no matter how much of a fit they throw

It's really awesome to see the public sector being able to experiment with new technologies to see what works. Rather than a top-down approach imposed on everyone all at once, the trial-and-error approach seems to work better. If it su

What about it? The US is also the hegemon in Europe. The "West" just means the US and its network of alliances. Other Western countries may want good relations with China, but they need to take US views into account because the US

Very interesting. Maybe Buffett isn't too concerned about the geopolitical risks to TSMC? There's been tons of chatter about China militarily reunifying with Taiwan by 2027 but I'm guessing Buffett thinks it's all hot ai

Very few get rich trading options. Most are no better and no worse off. Some people get completely wiped out. There is nothing wrong with buying low-cost index funds and holding them long-term. That's how you build wealth.

I feel like Apple, Amazon, and Google are the most robust and antifragile businesses. They offer goods and services that are quite inelastic and difficult to replace. Facebook, on the other hand, is something that can be replaced. I doubt i

I don't understand why working in an office isn't optional for certain jobs. If you want to go to the office, go in. If you want to work remote, then work remote. Why should either remote, hybrid, or on-site become a top-down poli

Not every single worker needs work to socialize with others. Some people have places of worship and other things to socialize. All this means is that working in an office should be optional. Forcing it on everyone just because some people u

Why are we fucking with nature? Like literally what is the point of this? To show that we can? Some fucked up biological arms race with the other great powers? When you fuck with nature, nature wins. Always.

When you have a school that charges astronomical prices, it is beholden to its customers: parents and students. Typically, the parents that pay these prices expect their children that want to do pre-med and become doctors to not be "we
