New report: in the UK, nearly a quarter of 5-7 year olds have a smartphone. 38% of that age group is now using social media. Many UK parents are "resigned." But many others are rising up and taking collective action. smartphonefreechildhood.co.uk delaysmartphones.org.uk

Since "the end of history" successive Belgian governments diminished funding for our military. Now that it will take years to rebuild and supply, it is too late as the country has a gigantic debt and de-industrialization is about to hit hard. We are ruled by clowns and arrogant…

Arguably the best edge to investing in the 2020s has been to study history. The past 40-50 years of market history were insufficient to prepare investors for things that haven’t happened in like 80 years. But history books really helped.

Anarcho-tyranny. The authorities do not protect your rights from bad actors, but punish you for even minor or perceived infractions. As a result, faith in institutions plummets even more, the bad actors are emboldened and eventually, the citizens vote a populist into power or…

Beware of warmongers and the military-industrial complex. A full-on regional war will lead to immeasurable suffering for everyone. It must be avoided at all costs.
The entire US political system seems resigned to a broader war in the Middle East with the implicit assumption that its somehow worth it It's not worth it at all. The reason they're quiet is b/c when it does happen they will pretend there was nothing we could do to avoid it

Been sharing this one a lot lately. It's one thing to have shown to you that you are inconsistent with your principles and it upsets you. Understandably, that is hard to accept for anybody. But it's very much something else to willfully ignore them when it doesn't suit you.…
The death spiral of San Francisco continues.
Hearing people who never read the books and just watched Dune 2 say Paul is a true hero and a good guy and they look forward to seeing part 3, Dune Messiah.
Worth reading: thefp.com/p/npr-editor-h… My response: Give me a reason to care? If NPR prefers partisanship and activism for years on end, then that is a choice carried from top to bottom of the organization. Alienating a large part of the audience and polarizing society was a…
