can confirm. i once lived in Paraguay. many speak german. when traveling in the bush, running upon a colony is a blessing b/c their baked goods are heavenly.

Latin America is the new frontier for Old Colony Mennonites. They are spread across 200 colonies with 200,000 people in a combined area almost equal to that of the Netherlands and twice that of Israel. Link to article below.

Can we create a central online platform where you have to approve anyone that wants to send you mail? And log in to simply change address when moving? Physical mail should go through a digital layer first.

It is time for the United States Postal Service to ban junk mail. Unsolicited spam calls are already prohibited by the FCC. Emails are heavily regulated by the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. Junk mail is the majority of mail, 100 million trees per year. Enough!

"jar of excellent honey, one soul encapsulating perfume"

The joy of owning beautiful things, a good knife, a proper linen towel, a jar of excellent honey, one soul encapsulating perfume, over many mediocre things. Doing this slowly across every domain.

the pollution just moves from one place to another with no net impact on planet earth. It is inhumane for rich countries to restrict developing nations from growing (see the great book, Green Power, Black Death)

Thank you Germany 🇩🇪and Britain 🇬🇧 for sacrificing your economies to save the planet. China appreciates you exporting your manufacturing to provide jobs for their citizens.

Safe. Kids need safety. As adults, it's clear who did not grow up feeling safe. Correlated with many social ills and undesirable deviant behaviour

A kid drew himself sleeping in bed between mom and dad and labeled it 'safe.' In Japan, this exact sleeping arrangement has a name. They call it 'the river.' Mother is one bank. Father is the other. The child between them is the water. Roughly 70% of Japanese mothers sleep this

Like I’ve always said, Spanish colonial homes are the most people-centered homes ever built. Plants flourish and coexist in harmony with people. The courtyard designs and verandas hold conversations and family celebrations. Colombia, Mexico, and Peru built entire cities this way.

I was in a sauna where this man and his friend were discussing what sort of adventure they wanted to go on for his 30th birthday. Something "extreme, unexpected, never before seen" were the approximate requirements. Cambodian river hunting, Afghani mountain climbing, Patagonian

the annual social cost of cancer and auto accidents are very roughly equivalent imagine a new cancer drug came out that reduced mortality by 90% across *every* cancer And the AMA aggressively lobbied against it because of its potential suppressive impact on hospital visits and surgeries... That is the unions wrt to autonomous robotaxis right now.

Waymo is so good at saving lives that if it were a new drug in trial, it would hit the bar for being unblinded and made immediately available to the control group for ethical reasons. @MorePerfectUS would prefer to keep killing pedestrians.

There is a hypothesis that birth order effects (on things like income and educational attainment) are in part respiratory pathogen effects: younger kids get more of them from their older siblings. This cool recent paper uses Danish administrative data to argue that this is true

Taleb has a thought experiment in The Black Swan. Imagine a legislator who, before 9/11, mandated reinforced cockpit doors. The attacks never happen. Nobody knows. He gets no credit. Probably even criticized for the cost. This seems to be what Musk is describing here. The 90%

We used to have these. They were called Apartment Hotels. They’d consist of a single room with a bathroom, housecleaning, a cafeteria and lounges. Imagine being able to rent month to month and not need to furnish an apartment. It was ideal. Nuts we got rid of these.

Since its opening in 2011 Ciudad Cayalá, Guatemala, population 12,000, has not had a single security or safety incident more serious than a pickpocketing. No traffic accidents either, as far as I know. This has got to be some sort of record.

Colleges finally concede: you don't need to come here anymore. It's just as good (even better) to take classes online. Most online schools are free. We've been raising tuitions 10% a year for 50 years only because you've been stupid enough to borrow it and pay us.

It turns out major social problems can be solved simply by dropping the hammer on the small percentage of people who refuse to conform to social norms.

I think it bears repeating that BART installed tall gates to enter the subway and they're gaining $10m in revenue a year plus the need for maintenance is down by *95.7%* Passengers who were unwilling to pay a few bucks were causing 96% of the public cleanliness problems!
