Definitely true on the English part. My Dubai opinion came out way more positive after visiting. I can see why it's a global hub. Incredible this place was a fishing village next to a desert within living memory.

Everything in the world is about safety, except safety. 'Safety' is about power.

Technologists think they're Martin Luther in the techno-Reformation when really they're Gutenberg, and those are not the same. The printing press had very different impacts on different societies, and everything being cooked up now, from crypto to AI to AVs, will be analogous.

People pump SF because it's 'living in the future'. Perhaps for coastal US cities, where indeed SF is a forward-looking social and cultural experiment, but not globally. Cities like Paris, Dubai, and Tel Aviv will have very different-looking futures (and they'll have AVs too).

The problem with the Star Wars universe is that they've developed such sophisticated technology and yet have such a retrograde political system as an autocratic empire. Surely, any technologically-advanced society has solved such basic social and political problems by then.

“Give careful thought to your ways. You have planted much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.”
Grown men have actually taken the pajamas proferred to them by flight attendants, changed into them, and are currently milling about the bar/lounge on this flight clad in an adult onesie. Travel is just this liminal no-man's-land where different rules apply.
The Web3/crypto marketing playbook: Run some quests. Do a referral program. Dump some money on supposedly crypto-centric ad networks. Stare at your @spindl_xyz dashboard and wonder if anything is working. Ask “what do we do next?” in our weekly client meeting. Repeat.
My ongoing theory is that Tesla is a car for nerds who never gave a damn about off-roading or racing or anything car-related, but since the vehicle is moderately good at those, they think it’s superlative since they have no comp. (I own a Tesla and like it.)

If you want to learn about how large online content platforms and their business models work, read Chaos Monkeys by @antoniogm. Large platforms are data buyers, not data sellers. One of my fav books ever.
Some countries are so poor all they have is a growing economy.
Church bells are the European equivalent.
The plaintive wail of the muezzin’s call to prayer shattering the bustle and din of a busy city is one of the beauties of a Muslim country.
Current status is drinking craft beer in a bar next to a mosque, as a Dubai vibe check.
If you presented a Westerner, given the goat rodeo much of the West is these days, with the choice between liberalism (to the extent it even preserves liberal-democratic values today), and a sanely-run autocracy with a public safety and prosperity, which would they choose?
Biden getting in the middle of Israel/Iran is like a panda bear with a Glock taped to his hand wandering into a pit bull fight.
