This assumes exact knowledge of an alternate reality. It is not a paradox in any way.

This is truly terrifying

Is the Nikkei back yet?

This is a condition of human social life. Tribes protect their area of interest, the domain in which they dominate is what provides them bread, butter, and prestige. But it is more…

Very troubling. It was recently brought up in Danish politics again and I have been more or less agnostic about it my entire adult life. But I made a choice this time that I am aga…

Nice way to describe your taste in bubbles.

I had just bought an apartment in 2008, but I didn't care about it at all. No one I knew bothered with economics except having enough money for rent and hedonistic activities. I th…

That sounds like a shit system

Find the person that wants to mimic the Greek healthcare system and not the Danish.

Let's not be naiive here. The courts and the government are not totally disconnected. Everyone has at some point observed court rulings that they thought to have been impacted by p…

He said that Metromile was going to be his GEICO, thus implicitly comparing himself to Buffett. Those SPACs did turn out to be garbage, but I still find them somewhat interesting a…

The most common misconception of Denmark is that we are socialists, something that could not be farther from the truth. Take a look at COVID restrictions and compare to the individ…

Is that not anarchy though?

A Land Value Tax of 100%, as part of Henry George's thinking, was the foundation of one of the oldest parties in Denmark. They had moderate success up until early 80's, and has bee…
