Sempre vou lembrar de um email q eu mandei no portugues mais formal do mundo pq o professor era velhão ai o email de resposta dele era uma unica palavra... "beeza"
acho mt engraçado escrever email pros meus professores pq eu vou na linha do vocabulário dos livros de machado de assis e eles respondem na linha do vocabulário do acervo patixa do twitter
I found out that our Marxists friends don't understand surplus value or even info-graphics. You have to explain it to them as if they were kids. I took effort to make this.
O pior take da história?
A ideia de que as pessoas tem q viver na ignorância n é só extremamente burra a partir do momento em que você pensa nisso por mais de um minuto mas tb é a utopia fascista
The irony is that in a well-ordered society, this would be desirable: The government would be run by middle-aged people tasked with safeguarding the common good, the spirited youth would have fun and build lasting friendships, and the old would remain home and occasionally aid in child-rearing. Instead, we live in a gerontocracy of out-of-touch vampiric boomers, the middle-aged are exhausted wage slaves who will never afford retirement, and the young are either nihilist consumers in for a rude awakening or radicalized by the internet but lacking political agency. The ideal *should* be to have a spirited, carefree youth but this only works when the adults in charge are actually doing their part to protect and *pass down* the common good.
Cornell men get it. Dinner parties are far better than binge drinking at bars with music so loud you can’t talk. This was 1950s–early 60s young adult culture. Dinner parties > bars. Who’s cooking? How are the guys dressed? Do SEC/ACC/Big10 state-school guys do this too?
i live in the country where poverty is banned
in my 10 years in switzerland, i have seen less than 5 homeless people. once i ordered the new iphone by mail, it didn't fit into the mailbox so the mail man just put it on top of the box and it was there all day until i saw it in the evening and grabbed it. the city i live in has so much tax money that they just built and artificial beach and a outdoor swimming pool for the public. sounds normal right? well, they built the outdoor swimming pool 200 meters NEXT TO THE OTHER LUXURIOUS, FREE SWIMMING POOL so now we have two next to each other
there are several reasons why switzerland works well. one of them are the people. swiss people are very diligent, detail oriented and conscientious. that's why all luxury watch brands are from switzerland, no one else has the discipline to do this - especially 100 years ago
another reason is extremely low immigration. switzerland makes it very hard for you to immigrate. my foreign co-founder paid over $4 million in taxes to the country in 2022 alone and isn't even allowed to stay here unless he has a job. you need to live in the same district in the same city for 10 years to be allowed to apply for citizenship and then the citizenship test is so hard anyone with sub 100 iq would fail
lastly, and i think this is super important: switzerland is small, only 8 mil people. it is much easier to manage a small country just like it's easier to manage a smaller company and there are far less inefficiencies and money waste. that's why i also think that countries should divide themselves up into smaller areas of max 10 mil people and completely govern themselves
