Rousseau said, "Money is the seed of money." We can guess at the myriad of reasons but we don't have to wonder if it's true. I'm sure you've read this but if not, it's fascinating: The Wealthy in Florenc

He went to a fancy private boarding school as a boy and his family had connections. > how does being the son of a guy who owned an emerald mine in South Africa explain him being richer That's faulty, a posteriori reasoning.

This is the type of statistic that embarrasses statistics. How many of those rated "highly intelligent" (I would be fascinated on how they measured that!) were in an elevated economic group and so now we're reduced to taut

Not OT. Casablanca is considered by most film critics to be one of the greatest films created and that's one of it's most powerful scenes. But I'm glad it made you think of that commercial; it was really funny.

This is a great write up of why Casablanca is an immaculate screenplay: economy of vision. Great architecture doesn't need a thousand beams but just a few, perfectly placed arches. Picasso could draw a single line and capture more th

My wife and I have one child and she requested homeschooling for high school. So we moved from Europe to Idaho, where it's supported. (I'm American.) She's been doing a hybrid model of two classes a day at the local school a

No... we very much have a "credit score." I'm American and don't like credit cards. I have a shockingly low credit score simply because I choose to pay using debit cards and I don't take loans. I never miss a pay

I think you're right but I don't think it has to be that way. Like others, up until a few years ago, I was a Keynesian. But then I realized that if you allow inflation you're not just "rewarding investment", but yo
