You're not going crazy, it's normal for the brain to actively forget, didn't you read? :P

I find that difficult to believe. For example, Shenzhen just achieved a milestone of 100% electric buses, and it alone has way more buses on the road than Seattle. Your point on 3rd-tier cities stands, but I think it's misleading to

Every decision requires tradeoffs. Which company to work at. How to commute. Whether to work at home. What to eat. Etc. The question is whether you can fully understand the tradeoffs you're making.

He's not a normal person. He's the CEO and face of a multi-billion dollar company. It comes with the territory to be held to a higher standard. He did the right thing with the apology. That doesn't mean he didn't scr

Which is why you only pull this card when you're desperate. Hopefully, you never have to do it again.

Musk has been a little weird these past few days. Like he really had time to go off to Thailand when he wasn't going to contribute in any way because at this late stage of the game, he definitely couldn't be a plan A, and there wa

I believe being dispassionate requires being reasonable and genuine.

Can't different PE groups have different strategies? A note from Buffett on PE: Unlike LBO operators and private equity firms, we have no “exit” strategy — we buy to keep. That’s one reason why Berkshire is usually the first — and so

If you're actually in a dysfunctional environment, it's not being triggered to call a spade a spade. People are allowed to do that while keeping their cool and it's not impossible.

Lack of definitive proof that a technology is harmful does not mean the technology is safe, yet the wireless industry has succeeded in selling this logical fallacy to the world. The upshot is that, over the past 30 years, billions of peopl

Do. Not. Participate. I don't think this can be emphasized enough. I've worked in toxic environments, and one guy once told it to me like this: you want to be careful of workplaces where people advance due to politics instead o

OP isn't looking to figure out why he's being triggered because he's not. He's also not looking for a better situation. He's looking to figure out how to turn around and thrive in dysfunctional situations because he

I remember reading in a Navy Seal's memoirs that when training to be a sniper, they were all responsible for making their own camouflage suits. The point being that when you're out in the open, you have to know how to make use of

This is interesting. By making things more transparent, you have obvious and measurable positive effects. Here's my question. What happens when someone moves up a social class such that they're no longer in poverty? I suppose

It's not bizarre. Unfortunately, clickbait is good for business.

You never saw A.I. by Spielberg? Water balloons won't cut it when you have that one psycho kid who doesn't care about you.

Oh my goodness. And here I was thinking that I'd love the next macOS due to its alleged focus on stability. What the heck....

I'm being that pedantic guy now, but I think you misunderstand opportunity cost. The opportunity cost of eating food wouldn't be the negative consequences of eating food. Rather, it would be the negative consequences of not do

Another one of those threads that causes intense navel-gazing, shame, and mounting disgust in my gut for myself as I realize that everyone around me is working hard to better themselves while I just binge-watch movies.... and then my eyes g

Ask the wife whether she'd prefer to know, then decide whether the alternative is preferable. And besides that, other alternatives exist too. Marriage counseling is a thing.

There are plenty of people who have been in that situation and have regrets. They themselves take the moral high ground in condemning themselves. Hopefully, they heal by also forgiving themselves. People who refuse to admit wrong are mor

Fair point. If I knew a couple in an open relationship, I'd be uncomfortable, but I wouldn't make a judgment on their integrity.

A few female entrepreneurs, however, explicitly reject the values pushed by businessmen. “One of my husband’s business friends got married just two years ago,” explained Li, in her early 40s, who co-owns a steel business with her husband,

OK, I've always felt weird thinking this because whenever I've ever mentioned it, other people always think I'm an idiot. My life is amazing. If it gets really horrible, I think I can handle it because I see so many examples

Hehe. Apparently, for Ender's Game, there were actors who actually refused to read the book because they feared it would affect their work.

No, Hebrews 11 only provides an interpretation for what happened in Genesis 22. Coincidentally, it's also the interpretation that's the most logical in light of the context; one can come to a similar conclusion without ever readi

Unfortunately, there are very few movie adaptations of books where this isn't the case. You gotta let it go. I eventually did over the Jason Bourne series. How can they make a whole series of movies based on a series of books where the
