If Elon Musk’s one trillion could do so much good, then why haven’t all our multiple trillions in tax solved all the world’s problems before now?

I know how Elon Musk became a trillionaire, but I don't know how Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Nancy Pelosi became millionaires.

I think possibly the best thing about Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire is how angry it makes a bunch of losers who've never built a thing in their lives.

You are richer than the most powerful king who ever ruled France. In 1715, Louis XIV ran an empire from Versailles. He died of gangrene in his leg, an infection a $4 box of antibiotics would clear today. The richest, most powerful man in Europe, killed by something your local pharmacy fixes in a week. By any absolute measure, you live better than he did. Yet almost no one feels rich. Because wealth, for most people, isn't absolute. It's relative. In 1995 two Harvard researchers asked 257 people: would you rather earn $50k while everyone around you earns $25k, or earn $100k while everyone earns $200k? Twice the money in the second case. Half chose the first. They picked being objectively poorer just to stay ahead of the people next to them. That's the trap. If your scoreboard is other people, you've entered a zero sum game you can't win. There's always a bigger boat. The only way out is to stop comparing and start creating. Building isn't zero sum. It's the one infinite game worth playing.
I can’t even imagine how poor this guy must feel

The fury over a proposed Kirpan ban is a textbook example of what Thomas Sowell meant when he said: “When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination.”

French is probably the only language where you can measure someone’s IQ by how well they know how to write it. Something like [kɑ̃] can be written "quand", "quant", "qu'en", "camp", or "Caen", [ser] "sert", "serre", "cerf", "sers", etc. The context can also influence how you write a word: "le chat que j'ai VU" but "la fourmi que j'ai VUE". Very few alphabetical languages have this level of complexity 😅
English is probably the only language where you can measure someone’s IQ by how well they know how to speak it. English has ~600,000 words. Do other languages have more words? Yes. But English is far better at describing things because it focuses much more on adjectives and adverbs rather than just nouns. Arabic has 100 words for “Camel”. English has one. But English has 10,000 words that can be used to describe the camel’s appearance, temperament, character, physicality, etc. You get a much clearer picture of what this specific camel looks, sounds, and smells like. It’s much easier to appreciate a story like Romeo and Juliet when you view it as an evangelization arm of the English language (and culture), rather than just a homework assignment. This is likely the reason why the British were so dominant. They were significantly better at organizing and motivating their people *because of* their excellence of communication. English >

While I am still looking for a job, I thought I would try some light crypto trading, as I have been in the space for 7-8 years and I know a lot about it. I made $165 so far this week, 0 loss. Suffice to say, the lambo is still very very far away 😂
