One of my business school friends comes from a wealthy Swiss banking family and lives in the ritzy part of Geneva where the average house is in the tens-of-millions range. When I visit, I stay in his guest room and sweat profusely at night because, for all their wealth, these bozos can’t understand the unmatched pleasure that is a nice, cool room to sleep in at night. Bunch of uncultured rubes.

Two glasses of wine. Didn't get drunk. Couldn't function for three days. This is being celebrated as self-awareness. A healthy 33-year-old body should metabolize two glasses of wine and recover by morning. Billions of people throughout history did exactly that while building civilizations, fighting wars, and running companies. Bartlett has restricted his inputs so aggressively that a single normal human experience sent his entire system into a 72-hour reboot. Engineers call this brittleness. A system optimized exclusively for peak performance under ideal conditions that shatters the moment conditions change. The opposite of antifragile. Remove every stressor for long enough and your body loses the ability to absorb even minor ones. The generation that tracks every HRV reading, weighs every macro, and sleeps in temperature-controlled darkness has accidentally built the most fragile humans in history. Previous generations drank, ate badly, slept rough, and still recovered because constant low-level stress kept their systems adaptable. Two glasses of wine registered as a catastrophic shock because he's spent three years stripping every form of variance from his life. A body that can only perform under perfect conditions is the definition of a fragile system.

Geneva's current ideology is a refined sort of local politics luxury-belief ecosocialism that enables an open heroin market with assorted side-dishes two steps behind the main train station but also 'test nighttime reductions of street lighting to help moths and fireflies'

The Swiss grid is almost completely carbon free, yet it is largely illegal to install air conditioning in a house in Geneva, without a doctor's note and heat pumps have the a/c mode disabled and fines issued if used. A mean spirited degrowth mindset that transcends class and hides behind an environmental narrative even when it has nothing to do with the environment, like here. This is emblematic of a pathological hatred of the future and progress, that is a threat to Europe.

Some epic levels of fear mongering by putting the color scale of red already at 23°C / 73°F which is lukewarm This is why people don't trust scientists anymore, they have agendas and can be intellectually dishonest to make their point

On peut le dire clairement maintenant : nous nous dirigeons vers l’un des événements thermiques les plus spectaculaires jamais observés en France tout mois confondus, totalement hors du champ statistique de ce qui a été connu jusqu’à présent en mai. C’est absolument délirant : ➡️Le record national de chaleur pour un mois de mai pourrait être battu, avec plus de 36-37°C attendus en France pendant PLUSIEURS JOURS. ➡️Les 35°C pourraient remonter jusqu’à la moitié nord du pays, tandis que la Bretagne vivrait une situation totalement hors normes (il ne serait pas étonnant d'y approcher les 34°C !!). Nous sommes à +15°C au-dessus des normes sur la façade Atlantique ! ➡️Lundi, mardi et mercredi pourraient devenir, de très loin, les journées les plus chaudes jamais observées en France en mai, avec plus de 30°C sur la quasi-totalité du territoire. ➡️Des records mensuels pourraient tomber plusieurs jours de suite, y compris sur des stations centenaires, tant l’épisode s’annonce intense et durable : jusqu’à 10 jours possibles. ➡️On est vraiment à la limite des seuils de canicules et de vague de chaleur : nous sommes en mai, au printemps !
