Marginal utility is the key economic concept that I wish more people understood.

If you give, say, someone with $1tn of net assets £1000 it will have less positive impact on him than if you give someone like me with let’s say £30,000 of net assets

I did that last night and got some amazing photos.

Tonight? Nothing.

I read the first eight books in summer 2022, and it's been so much fun reacquainting myself with the characters in book nine, after three years.

There are nine books in total, the latest one just came out this month. The TV series captures them perfectly!

Last year, I worked with a graduate student from Turkey studying supply chain management. Just after the election, she came into my office, eyes red with fury, and flat out asked me "with everything you've seen around the world, how could you let this happen?" This is burned into me

Regrettably, you’re right.

I mean, if you can’t laugh at murder and death, what CAN you laugh at?!

They’re dead to me.

That’s what I’m told. Me too. If there’s on thing Hamlet needs, it’s more cheap laughs! And why should Rosencratz and Guildenstern get them all, those attention whores?
