Musk speaking at the Tesla shareholder meeting yesterday. He was promising mass producing robots & claimed Teslas have full self-driving yet again, neither of which are true. At what point his endless trail of lies catch up with him remains to be seen.

David's 'The Death of Marat': an utterly brilliant painting of a very sinister man. Marat was a fanatic. David was a strange man as well, if definitely a great painter. David's staging of the Festival of the Supreme Being in 1794 was the origin of all subsequent totalitarian mass spectacles >>

It's an excellent piece full of good reflections & advice. I just wanted to say I wouldn't worry too much about what Schopenhauer thinks. He takes an aspect of reality & says 'This - suffering - is Reality'. He's elevating his own temperament, personality & experience into a philosophic system.

Such sad news about Robert Redford. So many great performances, so many great films he was involved with, as well as his other contributions to the good of the world. A particular favourite of mine is his film 'Quiz Show', brilliant on every level.

I saw these ads which perfectly illustrate your point about fintech 'banks' which are not actually banks, & have to operate in conjunction with real banks.
