That's interesting. I wonder how much mass shootings or making abortion illegal costs.

this makes total sense. Tech really does funnel money into a smaller set of society and the way to keep doing that is to raise prices on everyone, even if that means the majority of the people that are making way less a year than their empl

I'm surprised speeding tickets haven't been privatized yet. Get a device installed in your car that monitors the speeds of cars around you. If someone violates the speed limit your car reports them to the authorities and then you

There are exceptions right? Stripe isn't public yet I'm pretty sure there are ways to sell the stock that's accrued. I remember something about them opening up a way to sell your shares and since I get pinged on LinkedIn ever

That really sucks. I'm sorry to hear it. I tried twice to start software companies with people I knew. Both times the other party didn't invest nearly as much time as I was putting in. And in both cases I figured this out fairly e

You bring up really good points. I do think that there are always going to be people that fall in line with that they are told while a select few "decision makers" call most of the shots. The takeaway from your comment is that we

The word he is looking for is resentment. It's well understood in relationship psychology. But it's good to have someone outside of that field be able to untangle these topics and word them in ways that resonate with different peo

When I moved here a year+ ago, I was told by the leasing office for my apt that I needed to provide proof of rental information even though I had owned a house for 15 years (in another state, and had it fully paid off). They refused to proc

I went through something similar. The core of it for me had to do with a fixed mindset vs growth mindset. The research behind this showed that telling kids something as simple as "you are good at this" vs "you worked hard at

I missed this part but it makes even more sense now. The author only knows how to function like him and expects everyone else to function the same way. It reeks of immaturity and the inability to understand others. This quote pretty much ha

I find a lot of this to be surprising. The author seems sharp, but is missing so many obvious issues with what they are saying. > It’s harder to get a hold of each other, as we’re not online at the same time. “I’ll talk about it when I s

This isn't surprising. Amazon said that they were going to support remote work indefinitely and then changed their minds even though people have moved away from the main offices. Then they pull every back in the midst of massive layoff

You bring up a good point. When I read the post I applied a filter of "social media" so vetted everything from the perspective of Twitter, Facebook, Insta, etc. And a lot of the ideas hold up when compared to that. It breaks down
