Norway invested their oil winnings in a nation wide fund. The Netherlands spent their gas money on hookers and booze.

It's like saying "my server is now white", a common thing people would say roughly a hundred years ago.

And it's called "dutch disease". We did it with gas. Now look at Norway. We could've been like Norway.

One time someone asked me to paint their house, so I made a 5 square inch watercolour of it. Unfortunately this didn't protect the walls from moisture and they ended up with mold i…

It used to be justified and respected stance to separate the art from the artist. At the same time, blatant copying was excepted, painters today can take Rembrandts like you wouldn…
