I'll ignore the argument that alchemy was a precursor to modern science. An iron man version of 'lead to gold' is that it was never about literally turning lead to gold (which modern science can do). https://en.wik

I see. Thanks for the reply. I originally interpreted your comment to mean your spouse is covid cautious and will not budge on certain decisions related to that. This is not what you said though and this reply made your intended meaning cle

Learning to swim is about as natural as learning to crawl. I’m not saying this with any disparaging intent. Why don’t you just go in a pool when you have the chance and try? If you don’t have access at all, then my apologies.

I’d argue distortion isn’t the ideal word. We are in a tough situation and strong narrative framing is needed to get through it. One narrative is different than another. It’s not so useful to call one distorted and the other not. Rather, wh

Why would you do something that embarrasses you? You're obviously well enough off if you were planning on having two Tesla vehicles. Get rid of your Tesla and bring your self in congruence with your virtues.

That really doesn’t follow. Suffering bringing wisdom does not equate to those who suffer most are the most wise. I’m not really arguing against the point you’re trying to make. But your example is illogical.

This may be true, but doesn’t match many peoples direct experience. If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, don’t be surprised when people think it’s a duck

This is an often held view. Just for fun. Let me play devils advocate. Yes, currency hoarding (saving) is incentivized. This raises the bar for investing to investing that is needed / has clear value. Similarly, with an inflationary c

People get poorer on a real basis and the debt gets diluted to a reasonable level. After enough inflation things can stabilize again.

There are different types of inflation. When inflation is due to ongoing currency debasement you might see all things rising in price (goods and asset prices). This is not what’s going now. We are in a tightening cycle. Cash is appreciating
