the default car should have been a one person car. we split a normal one lane into two narrow lanes.

how do you account for the compilation of your insight that was formed through the consumption of many prior examples? do you feel compelled to thoroughly cite them, or have they crossed a threshold marked through your ability to now genera

Spiritually different intention, but both yield lots of unread material at hand. The parent's is "bought with best intentions" but letting it pile up despite that intention, Taleb's is purposefully accumulating material

America has enough room to build many new cities in useful locations, yet it doesn't. Why is that?

European colonization of the world is a unique enough phenomenon to not hand wave it away as business as usual. Further, the industrial intensification and financialization of this colonization through the 18th-20th centuries alone is singu

How does $2k spread across a couple of checks make people feel they were "COVID rich" is something I just can't wrap my head around. Even for someone with a low income this would amount to at most a paycheck or two extra
