Saturday afternoon walk

A lot of the Japanese accounts I've come across are very confusing to me, although very entertaining. They often have many posts with just a few words that either don't make sense to me, or seem like they are incomplete, or maybe a reply to a note that I can't see. I assume a big part of this is bad translation but it seems like more than that.

Maybe just a different style of using social media? Do English accounts seem this way to Japanese speakers? Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Tomorrow I’m driving up the cost for a writing seminar by a former police detective! Hopeful it will help me outline the next project and provide insights

Tonight’s walk

Food #inflation in #EU

I think we are going to have to define words here. Wealth = prosperity = captured value. You seem to be confusing our recent decades of wealth *destruction* as it’s pursuit and creation. Then laying those imbalances over the path into the future as if this is some inevitable and inextricably linked reality of trying to pursue progress. It is not. What you are describing is the consequence of “progress” being disconnected from reality through a money that transfers lies through the economy about what is actually valuable.

Ie. The money is broken such that it gives nominal gain to endeavors that are true *losses* when weighed against reality.

This is a consequence of bad money misaligning economic incentives, not some fundamental truth of how technology and progress are antithetical to human flourishing. They are not.

New Zealand is having an election coming up so it’s bringing up all sorts of political debates about policy. I just saw this article in the newspaper calling the $5 nzd people have to pay for prescription drugs inhumane. The copay is so low I do wonder why they have it but it’s also magically accessible in comparison to the US.

A toast to all the misfits, nonconformists, dreamers, truth-seekers, explorers and builders. 🍷
