For more than 6 years, Natalie’s work has been (to me) a thunder of insight into modern psychology and society. Every time she pick a concept that works like a lightning rod to striking expanding our understanding.

In Denmark we are starting the tiniest book club on “Why we’re getting poorer” by @unlearnecon.bsky.social
We could have gone more minimalistic and make it 2 readers and 1 book, but I was too eager to hold back.

That was a great pod. It’s interesting (abominable) to understand how this experiment was just a pilot program for Meta and Cambridge Analytica. And how the malicious techniques for political weaponization of social media are now the standard toolbox for the right. In its accelerating polarization.

The idea that stuck with me: “in the West we have left behind the antiquated idea of living in a village and being involved in other villagers’ daily lives. And now, we need to struggle to buy back the village in the form of services: the nanny, the afterschool activities,…” #whatnowpodcast

“Trump’s policies, both at home and abroad, are rapidly destroying the foundation of American power,” writes Michael Schuman. “The main beneficiary will be the Chinese leader Xi Jinping, who has been planning for the moment when Washington stumbles”:

Trump Hands the World to China
