@daveg Something learned! I’d have called the right image a Victorian with a twist of American lemon. I don’t see Queen Anne style at all.

Always amuses me that Queen Anne style architecture in the US has absolutely nothing in common with original Queen Anne architecture.

@prestonjbyrne Private sector has realized decades of profit selling those rockets — and all the weaponry and tools of war — used to deliver indiscriminate mass death around the world. This too seems like a good metaphor for the polity as a whole.

1/23: It’s widely believed that “grit” is one of the most important characteristics of highly successful people. I have an emerging (and controversial view) that the YOLO investing behavior that we’re seeing is directly attributable to a societal reduction in grit. Unpacked:

We started Bondy to keep encourage buying local. We are currently close to a match for PS 261 in Brooklyn. Help your neighborhood (more to come) and gift your friends gift cards from local businesses through Bondy #buylocal instagram.com/p/CKmJDM_hUAg/…

Looking forward to more of this from @daveg enjoyed discussion around friction as necessary to better operating systems (i simplify quite a bit) — thinking about the relative lack of it in eg Robinhood — listen: open.spotify.com/episode/6tnOF6…

In the cold light of day (post-move) I'm never going to play a CD again and all this music is probably online somewhere, on Spotify or YouTube. I should throw them all away, right? I can't see buying furniture to store them in just for nostalgia

History also starts with a whisper not a bang. When Einstein published Special Relativity, nothing much happened. Really new stuff is too radical to even be noticed, it takes time. What are today's equivalents? Epigenetics, network dynamics, the physics of life and entropy?

The Wright Brothers may have achieved the impossible but they weren’t mentioned in the New York Times until 1906 — two years after they flew. One year *after* the Wright Brothers flew, people thought human flight would only happen in the “very, very, very, very far future.”
