its still so underrated the degree to which our intelligence supercycle was as much reliant on innovations in capital formation as it was innovations in the technology itself. europe is losing not only because they can't built it, but primarily because they can't finance it

Social media trends have turned the world’s most beautiful places into endless bathroom lines at a concert, where everyone waits for hours just to take the same photo to show to people who couldn’t care less 🌎📸 Nothing captures the shallow decay of our time better than this

A nice reminder that everything you're worried about is ultimately insignificant.

Your work tools are now interactive in Claude. Draft Slack messages, visualize ideas as Figma diagrams, or build and see Asana timelines.

There’s so much out there on health and longevity. Let me help you cut through the noise: -Walk outside daily -Do something physically hard about once a week -Avoid highly processed foods -Don’t smoke, limit alcohol -Be with friends often -Sleep at night That’s 99% of it.

Opinie: Genotzuchtige Nederlander raakt slaapwandelend achterop in de wereld

Nederlanders zijn een individualistisch en hedonistisch volk geworden, dat weinig offers wil brengen voor het grotere geheel. Van dit kabinet hoeven we niet veel te verwachten, maar welke leiders...

A nice case of algorithm irony on Substack today. Haven’t finished the complete piece by @G_S_Bhogal yet but gamification is a virus

Nice read and strong concept from @sariazout I’m using Roam Research but am looking for a next iteration of PKM which isn’t focused on obsessive scholar notetakers.

Net als je denkt dat het niet erger kan, blijkt dit kabinet toch nóg meer geld weg te willen halen bij het onderwijs. 🟥€1 miljard bezuiniging op het hoger onderwijs. 🟥€2 miljard bezuiniging op het hele onderwijs. 🟥€4 miljard minder geld voor onderwijs in 2029.

Russia’s Espionage War in the Arctic

Russia’s Espionage War in the Arctic

For years, Russia has been using the Norwegian town of Kirkenes, which borders its nuclear stronghold, as a laboratory, testing intelligence operations there before replicating them across Europe.

It turns out music, movies, entertainment, and society in general peaked during the exact time period when you, the person reading this, were a teenager.
