Re: When will indexing blow up?
Also of concern are vanguard and blackrock having your voting rights. And what about when the Fed buys stocks like the BOJ does. As a major shareholder, they can force Walmart et al to verify annual vax status etc I could see a future where people who start companies don't incporporate, just so tha...

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II
But would you agree, stuper that they have made up their own minds to fight? They are not automatons who are continuing to fight because we're giving them weaponry. (Yes, I do recall previous notes from Silent Majority about the U.S. meddling with Ukraine's gov't. I acknowledge those). Rather, they...

Re: The Left is Eating Itself Pt. II
If you accept the trope that history is written by the winners, you could look at wokism/leftism as losers attempting to write history. In boglerdude's quote, by the losers in a high school. Elsewhere in society by MeToo feminists, mask- and injection-Nazis, the diversity industry... Along the lines...

Re: Renewable electricity sources are now a no-brainer
I'm leaning more towards Pointedstick's POV on the fully electric house with solar panels, especially in the "prepper" aspect. I don't know if it makes sense everywhere, but in the Southwest, where the sun shines constantly, it just seems like such a good deal. Combine it with a wood burni...

Re: New Ideas about Sleep
There was an AOM podcast on sleep last year where the guy basically says to forget about setting bedtimes, just wake up at the same time every day. So what I've been doing is setting an alarm every day, and if I'm not asleep in time to get 7.5+, I'll stay awake long enough to make it a <6 hour slee...

The author says that "never before has this portfolio behaved so badly" than 2022, and then just says "use options and bitcoin/eth" to make it not behave so badly? BTC/ETH got slaughtered in 2022.

Back in the day, Age of Kings was the go-to game. The best RTS I've ever played. I've never played Starcraft, but since it's still alive and kicking, I'd imagine it's probably the greatest.

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II
Would it be wrong to say Chomsky is a kinder, gentler Marxist? That’s been my impression. I’m sure it’s more complicated, but that’s my 10,000 foot view of him. I just can’t take that seriously but I’m sure he is able to make some good logical points about it. Whenever I’ve been exposed to his idea...
