Thanks for this -- appreciate your commentary. You're a natural for #nostr
I'm reading a new book by Hannah Ritchie (of Our World in Data). She's usually pretty good at debunking environmentalist nonsense -- though with some heavy blindspots here and there (fossil fuels + CO2 emission disaster porn).
This is what she just said about seed oils summarizing the research:

Swedish central bank (Riksbanken) is no longer insolvent.
Tomorrow it will receive a 25bn SEK (~$2.5bn, 2% of balance sheet) capital injection to cover the accounting madness that was the "-18.100bn reserve" entry on the bank's balance sheet. Oops.

Hit my highest ever rating on chess.com today.
It's a long, never-ending story of improvements, practizing openings and learning from past mistakes. Very life-like (psst @npub1cn4…3vle)
But improving in chess is also about learning to see patterns, calculating variations, but above all recognizing your own behavior -- mindset and physical relaxation even more so than brainpower or opening knowledge (at my paltry level, anyway)
While chess is an open info, objective game it's so unbelievably spiritual and psychological as well: I play better when I'm calm, life is in order, and there are no immediate distractions. If I'm annoyed, haven't moved my body, worry about money or work, or there's something else bidding for my attention, I play noticeably worse.
I play better in the morning and afternoon than in the evening. I play better when I take my time and carefully analyze the position (which means occasionally losing on time) than when I try to rush my opponent's clock by playing fast. I play better in 5min games than in 3min games.
The stats and the undeniable trend is what most fascinates me. For an average of about 13 games a day over the last year, the pattern has been the same: improvements followed by steep collapse before slowly and carefully getting back better and stronger. Anti-fragility etc
Final fascinating observation: Look at the bottom numbers for how unbelievably small the edge is. I win about 48% of games and lose 46%. And that small, invisible difference is what propels me upward.
Nothing feels more soul-crushing than when I'm on that downward trajectory, losing hundreds of points in a few days. But it's _just_ small margins shifting -- shooting me in one direction or another. Over time they correct themselves, law of large numbers in operation.
Important to remember: small margins, small improvements -- even in a noisy and volatile environment -- repeated day in and day out, create progress.
Peace out.

John Vallis used to say something that stuck with me: don't be offended -- ever. **What people say is either irrelevant or useful.**
If some offensive thing is irrelevant -- ignore it.
If some offensive thing is useful -- embrace it.

There's a change in the making.
"Now people receive their information via unstoppable, decentralized freedom networks like Nostr, share encrypted messages over programs like Signal, and hold their wealth in unstoppable, decentralized monies. Additionally, people increasingly acquire their sustenance from local growers and tell the IRS squat about it. More people than ever—somewhere between 5% and 10% of American schoolchildren—are homeschooled. The new world unfolding is slowly making the legacy one obsolete."

Can highly recommend Erik Angner's new book on economics for better understanding (and helping!) the world.
Nice overview for economic thinking; basically a _Freakonomics_ for the 2020s.
"The conversational tone is excellent for the wide audience he intends — those skeptical of economists and economics — and it’s easy enough to follow along his clear prose even for those without prior training in our arcane arts. With plenty of personal anecdotes, Angner illustrates relevant and crucial economic themes of our times, summarizing well-established literature and occasionally offering some ways in which economics can indeed help save the world"

"Some of these people are Libertarians who are fully committed to individual freedom, but are unwilling to respect a person’s gender identity"
Why is this the hill to die on? And you know perfectly well that libertarian ethos have to do with _state power_, not the delusions others have about their sex.
