All across America, students are unrightfully allowed to progress to the next grade without fulfilling course requirements. On the other hand, students of high performance can’t decide to skip a grade either. Why is it that one group gets left behind on their education and the other group isn’t given…

In 2018 I started to mine Bitcoin. What did I do with it? I spent it all on video games. That crypto would be worth $500.00 now. Since then, I’ve been learning how to invest it properly. Making passive income is hard. Your income is usually linked to your time…

It’s trendy to hate on late-stage capitalism. High medical costs, expensive colleges, exploited prices, monopolies, and Nestlé. All results of capitalism’s handy-work, right? But, all this is not a result of late-stage capitalism. It’s a result of a cousin to it, called “state mercantilism”. What is State Mercantilism? I recently learned of this term…

Even novice notetakers should find this meme funny, but also heed its warnings & learn it’s lessons. — This is a meme from the Personal Knowledge Management community. The whole idea of the meme is to demonstrate the 3 types of note-takers: The beginner: they use Apple notes because it’s accessible The intermediate: they design complex systems to get as many benefits as possible The master: they use Apple notes because they realized it was all they needed

The best tools are the worst for us. In an experiment, 2-groups were given the same game with slight variations. In the first version, there were hints, guiding players every step of the way. In the second version, there was no guardrails and it was up to the players to…

I used to write Medium articles wrong and then I wrote one right by accident. — I struggled for over a year to write something that wasn’t garbage. Many people told me my writing was great, but I knew it could be better. I worked really hard on articles I thought would do well, and it turns out, the article I worked least on would perform…

I’m not here to give you generic advice — You’re terrible at managing your interests. It’s a fact. New things grab our attention and keep us sedated in mediocracy. We don’t actually do anything. We observe and go, “huh, that’s cool!” 10x a day. Eventually, this becomes a habit. You get stuck swaying between interests you can’t focus on…

Fallacies in plain sight. — I was watching a YouTube video by “How Money Works” when he used a decision-making tool that I’ve seen used many times before.
