📖 What I’m Reading:

​Manufacturing is a war now – Noah Smith​

• Dire.

​Best Performing S&P Stocks Last 20 Years – Bespoke​

• Surprised I’ve never heard of half of these.

​It’s Time to Rethink Inequality – Dror Poleg​

• “We should encourage and celebrate success rather than vilify and suspect it. And we should also tax such success hard and put more money aside for investment in public goods. Meanwhile, we should embrace and scale up innovation in all the fields that affect everyone’s quality and cost of living: housing, energy, education, and healthcare.”

Book finished: The Terminal List by Jack Carr – 4/5

• Most MAGA book I’ve ever read. Violent Navy SEAL revenge fantasy deep-state thriller. Pretty fun to read but often a corny amount of military jargon and gun details.

☝️ Word of the Week:

dialectical (adj) dye-uh-LECK-tick-uhl

Relating to the logical discussion of ideas and opinions; concerned with or acting through opposing forces.

From Greek dialektikē (conversation).

“Like the aesthetic advances that preceded it, the Zoomification of movies will be the product of what has always been a dialectical relationship between technology and creators.”

💬 Quote of the Week:

“The only thing that stands in our power to achieve, is to make the most advantageous use possible of the personal qualities we possess, and accordingly to follow such pursuits only as will call them into play, to strive after the kind of perfection of which they admit and to avoid every other; consequently, to choose the position, occupation and manner of life which are most suitable for their development.”

-Arthur Schopenhauer
