I'm confused what your core disagreement is? It seems like you're narrowing in on some relatively unimportant detail. Using your own source, what is the likely explanation for the tape shenanigans? Who cares if op was inaccurate to the exact specifics of the missing footage? Or am I not understanding the implication of the article you cited?

Lol. I didn’t realize how important audience following was to winning tennis matches.

A possible factor on your observation is females athletically peaking earlier.

Edit. A quick investigation shows there is not a significant age difference between men and women for both top 10 player lists and top 100 player lists

Exercising is doing some activity that is good for your health. You’ve reduced this to some narrow set of activities that presumably make you stronger, faster, or better at some other easy to measure metric. I assure you it’s easy to enjoy exercising if your incentive is longevity and simply healthy living by a more subjective metric

Read ‘float’

There’s nothing fundamentally stopping all currencies from floating against gold and gold being the base asset

I’d venture to assume the downvotes are simply because you’re taking a relatively neutral topic and mapping it onto a polarized political subject

In my case, the people I looked up to generally had tried these things and reported them as valuable or interesting experiences. So I decided to ‘roll’ the dice and am glad I did.

No one knows what would happen. That is unprecedented. There would be mayhem in financial systems as all types of collateral is vaporized. All types of on paper net worth would collapse towards zero

Was there concrete term limits to 'never'. Otherwise I fear you were the naive one.

Snarky comment meant in good humor.

There’s a significant difference between predicting what it will specifically look like, and predicting sets of possibilities it won’t look like

Their claim was that future industry would move to Asia or us. Comparisons of US to EU for present day do nothing to contradict this claim.

I have no take on this claim being true

The logic doesn’t scale. You can’t impose arbitrary and subjectives thresholds to gloss over this fact. The obvious conclusion is that safety is one of many moral factors to balance.

I think this is a popular but unrealistic take based on real observation.Real observations being. Increase friendliness towards Russia. Decrease friendliness towards Europe/canada. Don’t confuse inflection points with the actual position.

Did you reach your goals?

This seems to be an orthodox opinion I see often, and I get the intuition. But time preference is a real thing. Tech is the easiest example. People buy tech that they don’t need that will be significantly cheaper in the future. I’m not a historical expert, but this specific point didn’t seem to be an issue during the time periods we were on the gold standard.

Care to elaborate? It’s thought provoking as a mechanism to reduce all of this zero sum (or even worse, parasitic) effort that dominates our system.

I’m not following your critique in relation to the article. It seems to encompass your final line. Step up and work harder. No mention of blocking other countries.

It just reads as present tense. Your point is valid. However, there are going to be how many eye balls that don’t read past the headline and don’t think deeply on it, but now have the impressions that they are currently at a peak
