Progressing toward a stretch goal is like pushing a boulder down a gently sloping hill. Every inch feels like a Herculean effort. But with each small movement, the next becomes easier. And when the boulder finally catches speed, you’re strong enough to find a bigger one to push.

@ThierryBorgeat This is part of the thesis of one of my essays about the budget deficit. Basically whatever the government subsidizes goes up in price.

My wife and I spent 10 days frolicking in Italy. My goal was to find out whether there's a limit to the amount of pizza I could eat (spoiler alert: the limit does not exist).

My latest essay “How to make it in America” explores how a young person can possibly get ahead in today’s economy.

(Spoiler alert: there is a way to get ahead.)

Children used to be part of becoming economically secure. Now economic security feels like a prerequisite for having children.

My latest essay on why America's population crisis is actually about high expectations.

Make aesthetic judgements yourself. The amount of ‘likes’ on social media has replaced independent judgement of aesthetic value - keep ‘flexing’ your knack for taste by asking yourself ‘what is quality?’.

Goldee’s Barbecue in Fort Worth Texas is a case study in competitive excellence.

Every four years, Texas Monthly published their top-50 BBQ joints. In 2021, Goldee’s was #1.

Here’s how they did it.

Texas Monthly is running their Top-50 BBQ list again in June 2025.

But Goldee’s is laser focused on smoking the good meats. Gotta respect the game.
