I’ve gutted out 3 careers in “skilled labor” (a term I find problematic), each time working from the bottom entry level guy, to the guy in charge. In all three I’ve worked side by side with people who actually got degrees in that field.
I have also regretted not getting a degree for my entire adult life.
Wisdom is intelligence applied. Or perhaps, wisdom is the synthesis of intelligence.
Will Hunting starts out the movie with mad intelligence and little to no wisdom, and the movie is the story of him shifting from one to the other.
Indeed. I’m pretty sure whatever is being communicated is probably interesting, but I can barely grasp it.
Connection between the human development index (HDI) and total fertility rate (TFR)
The human development index has three components -GDP per capita is one of them, life expectancy is the second and the education level - the third. As all these factors are negatively correlated with fertility

This “article” feels like an ad. It gushes about specs, but makes no mention of price or date of availability to peons without data centers.
I think it’s more like sending a second out of control train to catch the first one. There’s no doubt eah train will crash, and that it will be bad, but now we have more variables as to which will crash first and how bad, with the exciting new possibility of each making each other worse than they would have been.
Fuck that dude on the right.
I’ve always understood this debate as a veiled religious thing. Chicken = religion, god creates chickens; or Egg = science, animals are products of evolution, and thus naturally the egg must come first.
At least his tailor has a sense of humor.
Depends. If you’re streaming Dire Staits on a $250,000 stereo. You’ve probably missallocated funds approaching a moronic level from a functionality perspective. However, if you’ve got half a billion in the bank, I’d say it’s a far more wholesome idiocy than for example, real estate. Money inherently means less to rich people. The difference of a few thousand to tens of thousands are, bewilderingly, fairly inconsequential to many people. I’d just assume they put that money into listening to music rather than super pacs or something. Hell, maybe they’ll actually hear what the musicians are saying and they’ll actually grow a little.
The issue with audio is the same issue with all hobbies. Spending a lot doesn’t make you an automatic expert, let alone even know what you’re doing. An expensive bat doesn’t make a bad player good, an expensive stove doesn’t make a bad cook good, expensive clothes doesn’t make an ugly person beautiful, an expensive running shoes don’t make an out of shape person healthier.
I find shitting on audiophiles particularly annoying because it’s smugness on both sides of the equation. The people who buy in think they’re better than everyone just like the people who see the con think they’re better than the rubes. If I had to pick a side though, I’d honestly pick the audiophiles, because at least they’re having fun.
I understand that it isn’t fair and that we don’t “deserve” help, but Trump is a cancer on the earth itself.
Sales down 1.2%? Still profitable on the order of billions? Better cut 7% of the workforce.
He…was born in Chicago? Why shouldn’t he get a say?
