Most people are not special, rational, or particularly good. They're tribal primates running social scripts, ranking status, and defending comforting lies over evidence. Intelligence, drive, and outcomes are heavily genetic. Equality of result is a fantasy. The average person will never produce anything of lasting value, and the world is carried by a thin minority they resent.
@notjeyzzl Apple is not dead, just the products themselves have matured. There isn’t much innovation space left for laptop and smartphone form factor. Touch & voice is the future interface of computing but the software stack haven’t caught up yet. But yeah touchscreen laptops are a dead end
🚨 META JUST UNVEILED THE VR GLASSES
100 grams on your face - about the weight of a deck of cards. Meta says it has “the best display system that we have ever made,” and people in the demo were literally saying “it is like a computer” and “you could edit a whole movie just using the table.”
As Mark explained this is cinema, computer, and a game console all in one, with 3D space, virtual screens, hand occlusion, and DisplayPort over USB-C.
James Cameron’s reaction is probably the best quote in the whole segment “I’m inspired by what you’ve created. I’d like to see my work in these glasses.”
I am completely one shotted these look amazing!
If you type in all caps on iPhone the keyboard is way more accurate. My suspicion is it somehow triggers less correction and telemetry on the back end. This proves iPhone keyboards are crap because of all the telemetry causing micro second lags that throws off typing cadence.
🚨 AN ENTIRE GENERATION JUST GOT WIPED OUT BY THE STOCK MARKET.
Millions of young Koreans saw the stock market as their only chance to build wealth.
Homes were too expensive.
Savings weren't enough.
So they borrowed money and went all in.
Many bought 2x leveraged semiconductor ETFs, used 3x margin, and treated short-term trading products like long-term investments.
Then the market turned.
According to Citi, Korean retail investors have now lost an estimated $38.7 billion (₩56 trillion) on leveraged products.
More than 360,000 margin accounts were forced into liquidation.
62% of those wiped out were under the age of 35.
Margin loans reached a record ₩38.6 trillion, creating a vicious cycle of forced selling that pushed prices even lower.
Many investors are still holding their positions, meaning the pain may not be over.
This wasn't just a stock market correction. It became a debt crisis for an entire generation that believed borrowing was their only path to getting ahead.
