    Have a laugh. The FT has been *catastrophically* wrong about for *years* running. They’re aggressively ignorant on the topic, utterly incapable of amending their mental models, and digging in their heels to boot. in one year.

    There should be a word for the genre of movie or TV show that ties up everything perfectly at the end. That's my preferred genre.

    Of the emails in your inbox, how many of them are (directly or indirectly) asking you for money? The higher that amount, the lower the productivity of your inbox*. *Unless you're an investor.

    Jennifer Lopez is 74 days shy of Wilford Brimley's exact age the day Cocoon entered theaters in 1985.

    I know this is an ad and all but it is a pretty amazing product to be able to do something like this for consumers. Apple has a right to brag here.

    Yes you can build status w/o putting others down. But of course part of my play here is to show my own smarts by taking a contrarian view of Naval's maxim, he being the smartest guy in the room. So... I guess he's right in the end.

    Naval on Twitter: Status games are zero-sum. 🤔 Me: Twitter is a positive-sum status game. 😬

    The titles "Nobel Prize winner" and "macro-economist" have lost all meaning. They indicate no real-world accomplishment. These ideas are never held to any real-world test, and when the world tests them anyway, the catastrophic outcomes are dismissed due to "confounding variables"

    And the cherry on top: Stiglitz praised the Hugo Chavez regime in 2007, and expicitly said the rising inflation in Venezuela wasn't such a bad thing for the economy. Why is *ANYbody* listening to this man?

    ~30 sec later: "We must protect against a surveillance state." Didn't you begin *this very video* by proposing ubiquitous surveillance, and warn of the dangers of actual privacy? Isn't that *exactly* what scares you about cryptocurrency?

    ~30 sec later: "We must ensure that financial havens aren't permitted to exist." As though those havens weren't 100% servicing the political and financial class, the *rulemaking* class. HIS class.

    That this is getting shared is a buy signal. It's so mixed up, I don't know where to start. Stiglitz: "We should surveil the entire economy to ensure central planners can efficiently manage." Because central planners are so famously good at managing economies. /s

    Having paid zero attention to the Dem debates (or Superbowl), this graph clears up which of the Dems I'd prefer in the White House. Pete Buttigieg is the only one even trying to be rational. That Sanders (and Warren) can be serious contenders w/ this is beyond insane.

    For reference, here is my response to the comically wrong write-up on in Jan 2017. They dismissed it as a rounding error, completely missing the point. It grew 20x that year.
