This is a condition of human social life. Tribes protect their area of interest, the domain in which they dominate is what provides them bread, butter, and prestige. But it is more than that nowadays, it is the primary identity marker for m

Very troubling. It was recently brought up in Danish politics again and I have been more or less agnostic about it my entire adult life. But I made a choice this time that I am against it, and it is for these exact reason described in this

I had just bought an apartment in 2008, but I didn't care about it at all. No one I knew bothered with economics except having enough money for rent and hedonistic activities. I think the same applies to the general public today. Most

It would not work. At all. No where in the world does it work, nor has it ever worked. It is just politics... Semi communist statements like that can gain traction in California, so they are uttered. It will not happen, but will spur anothe

This is not how Europe works... Misconception no1: Denmark has no minimum wage. We rely on market forces. It is truly terrifying to see how the narratives about Europe, and especially my home country, have infested the internet to a point w

Most of the comments here are a product of arrogance. You have no idea what it's like to be a drug addict and you should keep your book arguments to yourself

He said that Metromile was going to be his GEICO, thus implicitly comparing himself to Buffett. Those SPACs did turn out to be garbage, but I still find them somewhat interesting at least when viewed as a financial innovation.

The most common misconception of Denmark is that we are socialists, something that could not be farther from the truth. Take a look at COVID restrictions and compare to the individual states in the US. When speaking to young Danes that hav
