- I dearly hope that the Spanish football association stops with the chauvinism (=the male director kissing sexually assaulting a female player at the women’s World Cup awards ceremony). Listen in.
- Listen/read (and think) about “Covid revisionism” (Yes, it was worse than you remember.)
- Read: US states are preventing insurers from pricing climate risk, so they are leaving those states. Good for reality, bad for people underestimating their risks.
- Watch: Is your data worth anything? Maybe not, but it’s being harvested. Should we make everyone’s data public? Is there a role for privacy?
- Read: America Is Using Up Its Groundwater Like There’s No Tomorrow. My thoughts: (a) This is a long-running trend (50+ years), (b) it’s nice that the NYT did the work that the government failed to do (!), and (c) cut off the farmers before we lose the cities.
- Listen: Key Lessons From The “Chicago Boys” Chile Experiment (best discussion I’ve ever heard). Also really good is this article on the 1973 coup.
- Watch this for some tips on writing, especially “inspiration”
- Watch and chin up: “You will never do anything remarkable… except live”
- Read: YouTube appears to have altered its algorithm, to stop the “radical rabbit hole” issue. Now people need to stop searching for ways to “destroy their enemies”
- Read: Burning Man’s community is getting torn apart by the anti-billionaire techlash, sustainability protests, “unhelpful weather,” and attendees who decide to run instead of practice “radical self-reliance and inclusion.”
