This just doesn't look right.

I honestly didn't know growing up that deer shed their antlers, since none of the antelope in Africa sheds their horns.

Let me guess. The government got involved to make it ‘affordable’

My first new year in NL in Rotterdam I was at an evangelist house in a poor apartment complex. At fireworks time the two appartement complexes started firing fireworks at each other. The Moroccans again some other ground.

On went through a window through a microwave.

Hell on earth!

If only Africa could do this?

The future is here, it is just not evenly distributed.

That is South Africa in a nutshell

The window is short indeed

It is almost like you pay taxes without any representation?

My mother always told me that as a little girl, probably no more than 6 she felt down. Her father picked her up onto his lap and said 'God does not make failures.' For some reason that settled it. Personal criticisms mostly just rolled off her back because of that.

No, they come in dozens only.

I was lying awake last night about my mining rewards that went to a wallet I don't have anymore. Was wracking my brain and praying that I would remember something to be able to restore my wallet. I just managed to sweep the wallet and it is such a relief.

Having children was a something that changed me and made me more forceful in life.

Forgot to answer your question.

The only podcast I know of is 'History of South Africa Podcast'.

I regularly watch 'The Lost History Files' on YouTube. It contains some good deep research into specific topics.

I don't know of anything that covers the whole Southern Africa. Probably since that is more than two times the size of the EU. You may find material if you look in the local dialect spoken in the land. German for Namibia, Portuguese for Mozambique etc.

I can recommend that you watch the interview by William F. Buckley Jr. of John Vorster. He lays out pretty nicely the conundrum they were facing.

But for a broader understanding you should read Thomas Sowell's Trilogy: 'Conquests and Cultures', 'Migrations and Cultures' and 'Race and Culture'. Thomas Sowell is just a gem.

I went for a week to train the new E&Y engineers. Walked with my laptop to work without any worries. In South Africa I needed a guard to walk me to my car.

Went for beers at night and met lovely people. Had beers with a couple Rugby enthusiasts and played pool with a teacher dressed as a cowboy. All non-western blokes.

Was in Harare in 1998. Disheartened to see how far the have fallen.

Is this any good?

(We) Software engineers thought we were the disruptors that are to disrupt other industries. Never did we thought we were fertile ground for a disruption of our own hands.

Or capital gains should be abolished or live where it already has been or at least is limited to short term holders.

Reading “Permissionless Innovation” that talks about how the EU diverged from the US in the 90s. The real lesson is that policymakers cost us way more in overall all wealth than we currently realize.

Wish I could go.
