Work with the north, live in the south

[VEO @vrexec]

Mediterranean people, generally speaking, just want to have fun.

It’s a Northern European phenomenon… directly attributed to Protestantism.. that prioritized work, structure, and committee governance over leisure. That mentality then transferred itself to the North American colonies and became deeply embedded in the American psyche.

This cultural package ultimately led to differences in institutions, education systems, trust in impersonal cooperation, and the timing and depth of industrialization. This is one of the important reasons the US became the global economic hegemon and why Northern European countries, in aggregate, are more productive than the southern ones. It has little to do with intelligence or sophistication and much more to do with cultural orientation toward work versus living.

You see this clearly in parenting.

In places like Greece, Spain, and southern Italy, you’ll often see adults out at 10 or 11pm on the plaza or at a restaurant, genuinely enjoying themselves while their kids run around playing in the background… and toddlers literally passed out on a bench, a chair, or in a stroller nearby.

Meanwhile, Americans and many Northern and Western Europeans put their children to bed promptly within a defined bedtime window, because the next day is structured, scheduled, and built around order, routine, and getting up on time.

One culture allows the present moment to stretch. The other organizes the present around the needs of tomorrow.

It’s all about “what’s next?” versus “experience now.”

That distinction explains a significant part… more than many people care to acknowledge… of the differences in productivity, power, and modern life in the West.

Independently of the success of this robot in particular, this feels like the right approach to home keeping robots.

I don’t want them to get in the way of the things I can enjoy doing, and that connect me with my family & friends.
I want them to handle the boring, repetitive chores in the background and forget that they are there.

Last week, I met a former Marine who was solo traveling through Southeast Asia. One thing he said about his country still resonates in my mind:

"American politics have become American entertainment"

Universal tariffs are weapons of mutual economic devastation.

And like nukes, they are more useful in deterrence than in deployment.
