pain is a chemical
i feel this incredible thing
you are an animal, you are not alone

One of the beautiful things about Mamdani’s renewal of NYC government is that it shows how deeply business interests are usually baked into state capacity.
Why should private equity, banks and real estate interests advise a mayor on what to spend?

The people around Trump just aren’t giving him good advice!

Pues bien, la historia de hoy se llama: “El Síndrome de Influencer”

Ayer, mi esposo, mis bebés y yo nos juntamos con una pareja que vive en la zona. Fuimos a una playa cercana. Ella (su nombre es Mandy) y yo, nos pusimos a platicar cuando en eso, me pidió tomarnos una selfie.

Infantino's not working alone

Crucial detail of Cordeiro's resignation is: he was an investment banker first & a FIFA official only second. FIFA's upper echelons are populated by people from multinational corporations, global management consultants, private equity funds etc.

This is Fenrir. He has not yet been successful in cuddling with the cat. But thinks if he goes slow enough she might not notice. 13/10

NOOOO NO SUBESTIMEN LA CANTIDAD DE SUBNORMALES QUE HAY EN SU PAÍS

Zlatan is 100% right. In fact, corruption under Infantino is much worse than under Blatter. Blatter's was the usual and naive corruption of envelops under the table. Infantino's is investment bank, JP Morgan, financial corruption at a totally different scale & the destruction of the game and of a 100-year-old completion which is now seen as an ordinary financial enterprise.
Football is not for investment bankers!

Ornstein is a perfect example to follow for anyone looking to get in to football journalism. He doesn’t entertain, he informs. He doesn’t build a brand of tearing other people down, he doesn’t say the same thing twice just for RT’s and doesn’t speak at all unless there is something meaningful to be said. It is so unbelievably difficult to be that well informed and to be that accurate, he is obviously someone who has a lot of trust of key people in the game. That’s how it’s done.

Something I love about football is the incredibly weak link between visible physique and ability. Kanté (5’6”) and Haaland (6’4”) share a profession. Basketball by contrast selects for height, swimming for wingspan. But football mostly selects for things you can’t see.

How did I realize that Hayek knows very little about the real world?
In one of his books he argues that economic outcomes have nothing to do with justice or injustice. They are just a product of following given economic rules. The rules are followed, there is an outcome.
And then Hayek gives the example of chess, by saying that winning or losing is not an issue of justice. Players follow the rules and one wins. That's all.

Tras el partido de Paraguay - Francia te das cuenta que hay mucha gente que dice ver más fútbol de lo que realmente ve

happy birthday to Thomas Sowell, whose flimsy free-market propaganda has successfully bamboozled generations of credulous readers

The problem with Jeff Bezos' ideology is that it's based on a false premise. The idea that "six thousand years ago someone invented the plow" is based on a faulty belief that ancient humans functioned as individuals. They did not.

Ancient humans were collectivist. The likelihood that one individual invented anything is slim to none.

This is the myth of the genius.

Archeological evidence demonstrates that for hundreds of thousands of years, early humans congregated around communal gathering places, like the fire, and engaged in problem solving and passing on of shared learning down through generations.

Additionally, the plow (and tools like it) were developed by humans in Mesopotamia, Europe, Egypt, East Asia, sub-Saharan Africa as well as other places - not in one place by one person. This is known as parallel development.

Believing that the plow was invented by one genius is like believing language was invented by one person. It is a silly myth and represents the projection of current moral standards onto past events.

This is called 'presentism' and it is both an uncritical and ignorant way to view history.

Social learning was the main driver of human evolution. Collectivism is how we both survived and progressed as a species.

The myth of the genius is an example of uncritical analysis and a flawed lens used to justify the grotesque hoarding of wealth and obscene inequality that is currently tearing at the social fabric our species.

It needs to be thrown on the trash heap of history.
