@RadishHarmers Friends don't let friends think ergodically.

Je ne sais pas si les baby-boomers sont responsables de leur poids démographique, mais ce qui est très clair, c’est qu’avoir à la fois moins de retraités et moins d’enfants à charge permet de dégager une capacité d’épargne pour anticiper sa retraite. La période de « dividende démographique » aurait pu permettre l’introduction, sans grande difficulté, d’un second pilier au système de retraite. Pour cela, il aurait fallu cotiser non seulement pour payer les faibles retraites du petit nombre de retraités d’alors, mais aussi profiter de la situation démographique pour mettre de côté des réserves capitalisées, afin que l’arrivée des cohortes abondantes ne se fasse pas plus tard sur le dos des générations suivantes moins nombreuses. Ce n’est pas le choix qui a été fait : le dividende démographique a été dépensé dans la retraite à 60 ans et les 35 heures. Des conquêtes sociales qui, étant financées par la dette et une pyramide des âges favorable mais transitoire, plutôt que par des gains de productivité, ne pouvaient être durables sans devenir un fardeau. Ce ne sont certainement pas les gens qui ont trente ans aujourd’hui qui sont responsables de ces choix. Mais c’est eux qui doivent les assumer financièrement. La seule hausse des taux de cotisation retraite entre deux générations représente un salaire net mensuel de perdu. Et cela ne suffit pas.

KISSINGER: The feasibility of…you’re asking about- NIXON: Fusing with a sandworm, Henry. Yes. And ruling as God Emperor. I want a, I want a frank feasibility assessment. KISSINGER: Mr. President, I want to…I’m going to approach this as I would any, ah, as a strategic question and simply note that the first obstacle would appear to be- NIXON: The sandworms don’t exist. I know the sandworms don’t exist, Henry. I’m not- do I seem like a man who doesn’t know that? I’m talking about the principle. I’m talking about whether the architecture of the thing, whether a version of this, a, an analogous- HALDEMAN: An analogous sandworm. [EIGHT SECONDS OF SILENCE] NIXON: Don’t do that, Bob.

the concept of the turtle actually winning is frying me😭

What you don’t understand is that the water used by AI is completely destroyed. It leaves the universe forever.

Well how about that

the aesthetics are incredible. cigars and crystal decanter with japanese whisky. black dress shirt, tight suit, two-toned double monks, and tie bar. arne jacobsen egg chair teamed with a studio backdrop with a car inexplicably inside the room. a 12 yr old's idea of masculinity

The Afroman Trial. -Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons. -Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up. -No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman. -Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras. -Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives. -During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat. -The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation. -Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit. -Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them. -One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife. -As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE. -The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman. This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.

I'm listening to Plutarch & he starts the life of Pericles with a basically unrelated ramble about how certain women buy 'puppies and young monkeys' instead of having children. Truly nothing is new under the sun

🧵 1/14: Just days after Paul Ehrlich (the man whose 1968 book “The Population Bomb” predicted billions would starve) passed away, it’s the perfect moment to celebrate the scientist who proved Ehrlich and other doomsayers spectacularly wrong. Meet Norman Borlaug, the Iowa farm boy who launched the Green Revolution and quite literally saved a billion lives. This is the ultimate story of human ingenuity triumphing over scarcity.

First look at Guy Fieri as the Duke of Flavortown in ‘Dune: Part Three.’

and he didn't move to the center, just mobilized the base.

for a while i've had a slight fear that the bluetooth from my airpods could be frying my brain this weekend i pulled the raw data from a $30m government study of 1,679 mice blasted with cell phone radiation and reanalyzed it what i found was...not what I expected? 🧵

Congratulations to the Workers’ Party of Korea and its allies on another brillant victory. People say that incumbents are being punished everywhere, but this shows that, when you do good work, the voters reward you.
