China knows exactly what this does. Their domestic version of TikTok caps kids under 14 at 40 minutes a day, locks access between 6am and 10pm, and swaps the entire feed to educational content. Science, history, museums.
The version they export to everyone else? Unlimited, unrestricted, pure dopamine on demand.
When kids in the US and China were asked what they wanted to be when they grew up, the number one answer in America was influencer. In China it was astronaut.
Macron calls this a cognitive war. Export what dulls young minds and keep what makes them intelligent for your own population.
This is the most effective weapon ever deployed against a generation’s ability to think.
@robbiehendricks@housingMark@grahammeharg1@Nchap222 Hey Robbie,
My colleagues and I run the Affordable Debt platform at Newmark (we’re a lender not just a broker), and we specialize in LIHTC debt and renovations business plans.
Happy to chat if helpful.
Shoot me a DM.
@BenjaminSinger8@TheCryptoCPA Laymans terms:
Spec ID is technically the best, but you have to keep pristine records.
HIFO is 1/10 as complex and gets you 90% of the same benefit.
College + Build things = Job
No college + Build things = Job
No college + Don't build things = No job
College + Don't build things = In debt at 50
You need to be building, anon 🏗️
I've enjoyed learning from @dieworkwear about style and clothes.
Why:
In San Francisco, where I spent my 20's, the name of the game was "get rich while looking as least rich as possible."
I thought that was a cool idea. The intentions are there.
Its cool. But it's not realistic and not fun for the soul.
My biggest learning from dieworkwear: style and clothes, its a social language.
Just as there many languages, each with their own unique grammatical rules, there are many aesthetics, each governed by their own ideas about fit, proportion, and styling.
This means that having "good style" means:
(1) conceptualize the specific identity you aim to create. Understand the values you have and want to display.
(2) learn the full meanings of every possible choice, especially the choices’ associations with specific people and groups
(3) finally make the lifestyle choices that all work together to tell a congruent story of your aspirational identity.
I think that's a pretty rich concept.
