How much of this is tax? Obviously tax needs to come from somewhere, and I'd be happier paying that tax during energy consumption than on my pay cheque as I'd rather be incentivized to consume less of a good which has a socially n

It sounds like you aren't quite talking about the same sort of thing as the author is. The author seems to be focused more on independent, original thought, and actually recommends more or less the opposite to your points: > Thinkin

Speeding up is an incredible tool for active consumption. As with all tools, you have to know when to use it. That said, most simple content I consume at 2x. Slower speeds waste time and dont provide enough info per sec for me to be fully

People also think I'm stupid. I am, but people think I'm stupid too. The secret is that we're all dumb as bricks - most of us just dont act like it, and so they go on being a brick. Those of us who are self aware and unashame

I commented this previously, but simply owning-and-then-selling a house should not be a good investment. What you do with it is supposed to make it a good investment. This idea that investing means squatting valuable assets needs to die. Sa

This is exactly how I roll these days! Avoid classes until I find myself doing too much argument plumbing, or having too many arguments to a function. Also love me some memoization. If I'm honest, I haven't tried aggressively usin
