JUST IN: Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale declares everyone will be “really wealthy” in the 2030s if the AI boom is allowed to keep accelerating productivity.
Unpopular opinion:
Traveling is wildly overrated unless you're genuinely wealthy.
People talk about it like it's the meaning of life, but for most people it's just an expensive headache wrapped in Instagram filters.
You spend months saving money, then pay ridiculous prices for flights, hotels, baggage fees, taxis, food, and tourist attractions.
The airport experience is a nightmare:
• Long security lines
• Delayed flights
• Canceled flights
• Lost luggage
• $10 bottles of water
• Sitting in a metal tube for hours with no legroom
Then you finally arrive exhausted, only to discover you're standing in line with thousands of other tourists trying to take the exact same photo.
Everyone says, "It's about the experience."
What experience?
Being stressed, sleep deprived, overcharged, and counting down the days until you're back in your own bed?
For me, nothing beats having money in the bank, sleeping in my own house, eating food I actually like, and avoiding the chaos altogether.
Maybe I'm missing something, but spending thousands to be uncomfortable in a different location has never sounded like a great deal.
Ljudi duž puta su kasnije prijavljivali da su ga hranili i pomagali mu, pa je Oregon Humane Society pokušao da rekonstruiše njegovu rutu. Zbog toga se slučaj smatra mnogo više od obične porodične priče.
Bobbie „The Wonder Dog“ je 1923. godine nestao u Wolcottu, u američkoj saveznoj državi Indijani, dok je njegova porodica bila na putovanju. Njihov dom bio je u Silvertonu, Oregon — oko 4.100 km udaljen.
Porodica se vratila kući bez njega. Međutim, šest meseci kasnije, 15. februara 1924., Bobbie se pojavio pred njihovim vratima u Silvertonu. Bio je izrazito mršav i imao je teško povređene/istrošene šape.
