Similar to this, I created an android wallpaper that shows what percentage of your life is already past. This helps me ensure that I'm spending my limited time in the most valuable way possible, and really helps put things in perspecti

I think it's exceedingly important to recognize that life is finite, and to reflect upon this regularly. I think its so important that I created an android wallpaper that shows what percentage of your life is already past. This helps m

Memento Mori is a surprisingly popular topic on HN. This Wikipedia page or some other blog post on the topic gets posted here fairly often. It's kinda interesting because when I bring this up with people I know they usually say it&#x27

Perhaps a bit morbid, but very realistic. Death comes for us all, even if you ignore it. By consciously forcing yourself to confront it you can reduce the chance that you'll wind up with a ton of regrets when you're old.

Time is fleeting. I made this android wallpaper so I would be reminded of that fact. Every time I look at my phone I think "am I doing what I really want to be doing? am I making the best use of my limited time?" App: https:&#x2F

Yeah, mars is getting pretty crowded at this point! I guess the voyager probes might be lonelier, if you count them as robots.

That's all fine and well, I'm not saying you should give away all your money. I'm just saying that there are lots of things to invest in that aren't fossil fuels! Your money isn't the only thing you leave to your ch

I just don't understand how people can believe in climate change and also believe that "ROI for me and my shareholders" is still a good way to make decisions. Buffett certainly isn't going to be an activist investor, bec

Yep, ESG investing causes distasteful companies to be underpriced, which creates a sort of morality arbitrage. If you're okay with funding climate change, you can make a quick buck or two. "Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a

You're correct, it's not as simple as "systemic oppression or racism". There are absolutely lots of factors, both historical and ongoing. I think I misunderstood the original comment I replied to, thinking that they were

The data for asian americans isn't shown on that graph because the underlying data used for the graph groups people into white, black, hispanic, and other. I apologize for saying "non-white" when I really meant "black an

Yes, it's actually pretty simple. Non-white groups lag in almost all economic categories. The fed publishes a lot of this data[1], you can see for yourself. There are also lots of other things to look at, like rate of incarceration. Th
