You should also see the criticism of "The Dawn of Everything", ie way overstating the veracity of certain history that they're trying to use to support Graeber's polemics on anarchism. In typical Graeber fashion, the boo

I always liked: "We pretend to work, they pretend to pay us" - leading to rampant stealing of course.

What you actually have to "prove" is that you can pass/execute the laws required to "leave the fossil fuels in the ground". All evidence thus far is that it's not happening, no one even votes for that under dem

Yea, though when the larvae are dead, I think "Were these fumigated?" haha. At least we can wash most of that off.

More protein than they usually give you... For real though, we'd all be surprised by the amount of gross stuff going on throughout the ag & food system. At least when I buy fresh brussel sprouts, I can see the holes/larvae in

Oh yea, I don't mean the Basque people don't speak Spanish, just that they prefer Basque.

by nickpinkston 2y ago
They also don't speak much Spanish there, as the Basques have their own ancient unique language (a non-Indo-European isolate actually) and culture due to their mountain isolation and resistance to everyone, even the Romans. The people

I've studied and visited Mondragon before, and hosted their students at my company. It's very cool, but I'm unsure how replicable the model really is. My conclusion is that it emerged out of the unique environment of already

Yea, the strength and excess of the US consumer is both blessing and curse. It to a certain extent increases our standard of living and makes stimulus really move through the economy, unlike a lot of more frugal countries / cultures th

I'm now so reliant on ChatGPT for gSheets, that I'd be almost unable to maintain my sheets' absurd formulas without it. It's also really accelerated my knowledge / skills of the specifics of the excel language. Havi

Just please allow us to turn it off when we want. I drove a new BMW the other day, and the driver aides were beyond annoying and unable to be deactivated it seemed.

I assure you that physical research includes questions like whether climate change is happening, smoking causes cancer, and excess sugar causes diabetes haha.

They all fund fake hard science research.

by nickpinkston 2y ago
Yea, because physical science is never funded by anyone with an agenda... That's at least what the American Petroleum Institute, the Tobacco Institute, the Beverage Institute, etc. tell us about climate change, smoking, and sugary drin

We have to understand democracy as a continuously regenerating culture and set of institutions, not just that we vote once in a while. The culture is about how much we actually care about democracy / believe it can actually work. I thi

I think people underestimate the beauty and impact of accounting. Just a tiny number of formulas (accounting identities [1]) and statements (P&L, balance sheet, etc.) can represent what's going on in any org in ways that can be rou

It's actually well established in the research. In the below article, it summarizes the issue by saying: "Basically, average citizens only get what they want if economic elites or interests groups also want it." https:/

I thought Relativity Space pulled back on their use of 3D printing for the major fuselage parts, saving it more for the engine components, etc., which SpaceX was already doing.

I drove one of these BMWs too and had the same thought. It seems like too far in the other direction.
