To me the key issue is the Law of Rent. It helps explain issues like Elizabeth Warren's Two-Income Trap. Why does technological progress not seem to result in overall increasing leisure and standard of living? That is why Henry George

Both may be a net negative to society, but the major social media companies collect quite a lot in advertising revenue, and are thus profitable to the shareholders. OpenSea was only profitable while there were still suckers available. Not a

If it were useful, after all of the years and effort and hype, you wouldn't even need to ask. There'd be an app on your phone or something that you use every day.

Cameras are becoming smaller, cheaper, and higher fidelity alongside parallel improvements in storage, network bandwidth, and batteries. Projecting out long enough, and you are left with the likelihood of cheap ubiquitous and even microscop

Surveillance is inevitable as a result of technological advancement. It will either be centralized or decentralized. Individuals freely recording and sharing and collating their data can also be dystopian, of course. But surveillance also m

The really basic thermodynamic approach of just measuring calories has fallen out of fashion for some reason, but given that both protein and fat just reduce down to carbs and simple sugars after a certain point, it seems to me that the rel

You're right to be skeptical. There's a lot of agendas, signalling, contrarianism, and ignorance involved in the area of nutrition. Cheerios are perfectly healthy for almost everyone. You don't need to buy an expensive buckwh

There are on-ramps to elite schools. Harvard runs pre-college and summer school programs for high school aged kids. Yale has something similar. University of Chicago runs a full high school called the Lab Schools. Which is considered extrem
