When elite universities uploaded all of their courses online for public consumption, we collectively realized that the limiting reagent for global intelligence is not access to information, it's motivation.- A troubling paradox: iconic aesthetics from artists like Hayao Miyazaki & Studio Ghibli, crafted over decades, are now commodified into quick, consumable, even vapid content.

- Real estate in the metaverse will not be a thing. Real estate is valuable because there is a non-zero cost to move from point A to point B in the real world. There is no such cost in a digital world, negating all value of the analogous concept.

- If the USA had a core KPI, it would be immigration. It has a monopoly on ambitious migrants—if that disappears, the product inevitably fails.Do people realize that immigration to the U.S. has dropped by half just since 2016?
- Replying to @cpaikThis commodification turns meaningful, handcrafted narratives—filled with emotional depth and human struggle—into hollow memes, diluting their artistic significance.
- Unrealized gains shouldn’t be taxed, but using those assets as collateral to borrow money should be taxed and then credited against any capital gains upon sale.
