It's not that hard. Sorry you missed out on a wonderful thing. You are not responsible for the world or its conditions. You just have to support the kid and be a good role model, that is 95% of the job.

Tyler Cowen used to blog about Singapore monthly, and now he does not. He reflected on why he doesn't. He admitted that he doesn't because its not cool to people in power. I find that a funny admission because I long suspected

There is a lot of research that personality traits on political leanings are correlated. So maybe that same common cause also affects humor? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3809096/#:~:text=Th...
