I think you are right. The fact is, social democratic societies deeply need children. Who will take care of you and run businesses when we are old? Tech cannot solve everything ; we need actual humans deal with the future! No, the Ipad IOS.

I also had similar feelings and experiences very early in my career. Here are my thoughts 1) Burnout is not a workload problem, it is related to your subjective perception of the meaning behind that workload 2) Ultimately, the 'meaning

Hi! I have a Msc in finance and a CFA. I've worked as a professional quantitative investor, and I've never purchased a single stock for myself! I had a view similar to yours regarding ETF and average investors until 3 months ago.

I want to help people aged 18-34 get better with their finances and economic thinking. By doing so, they can emancipate themselves and stop giving their soul to the boomercracy in exchange for financial security they don't need. I star

In my experience, the public VS private debate is a false dichotomy. Here is why : - What influences your day to day experience is the size of the firm for which you work. Big gov and big corp have much more in common than a startup and a s

Zen buddhism. I started going to a local zendo about 7-8 years ago to do a weekly 1h30 hour meditation (in fact, 3 short bursts of 25min). This also became a (much shorter) daily habit, and over the year I attend various retreats (from 1 to
