One explanation for economic populism in the US is the recurring cycle of bubbles and bailouts that happens without any democratic input

After an hour long sit recently, I told my meditation buddy that I had Elgar’s Nimrod from the Enigma Variations playing on repeat in my skull. He asked if I knew of the mystery behind the Variations. I did not, but do now. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZatQ...

You know some people pray for wealth
But I don't even own my health
And when I get on my knees and pray
'Cause the only thing I can say
That God, God...
God made me funky
But I don't even own my health
And when I get on my knees and pray
'Cause the only thing I can say
That God, God...
God made me funky
Now you wanna run round talking bout guns like I ain’t got none.

I’m a late-life free will skeptic and this didn’t move the needle for me. Fascinating discussion though.
Fabulous conversation about whether we have free will or not, by Robert Sapolsky and Peter Tse. I think that the constraint that time unfolds forward not backward is a crucial component of this debate, nicely illustrated by Tse.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

The best comedy gets you laughing right up to where you realize that you've been receiving truth bombs the whole time. This is a brilliant 3 minutes of comedy.
I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.
