Recent Notes

One time I was jogging around a forested reservoir, and upon turning a corner in the path, I came across a buck and two does even closer than this. The two does ran away but the buck stood and stared at me, so I stopped and just stood there trying to look chill.

He had a big set of antlers and after ten seconds I was thinking, “Uh, are we actually going to fight?” So I’m like mentally bracing for what I would do if he charges at me.

But then after eyeing me for a bit, he casually followed the others. So I exhaled and then went back to jogging.

For me, it was writing the novel that I had in my head for over a decade. Now it’s out in the world in text and audio, no longer that annoying little itch in my brain.

Had to learn a new skill along the way, and got into a flow state often while doing it.

“One day I’ll have time…” and then a decade went by. Eventually just did it. Feels great.

You will get old. The thing you keep putting off today because you are too busy will one day be the thing you wish you could do but are unable. You will long for another chance, because looking back you will see what was truly important and what wasn’t. You will realize then th Show more

Gosh · 3d

If you grab sea turtles with both hands on both sides of the shell, right next to their neck you can go for a ride. Otherwise they will bite you. It is better than blasting them with shotguns for sport like the hawaiians used to do (which is why they were put on the protected animal list).

My canonical headphones broke a couple days ago. End of an era.

Replaced them with the nextgen version of the same thing. Stronger than ever.

Most youtube viewers won't notice, but I had to say it somewhere. Might as well say it here on the edge realms.

Benking · 2w

Funny how something as small as headphones can carry that much weight… It’s not really just the device, it’s the era of sound that dies with it. The old pair lives on as a kind of archive: the tracks, the routes, the moments they only ever knew in that exact way. But the new ones… they’re ...

For those who have read Stolguard and want to experience it again (like, say Fight Club needs a second run), give the audio version by @walker and @CARLA⚡️ a try.

It opens a different experience, and they as narrators truly brought something new to the table with their acting and dedication.

GM! Would you rate public debt as a more important metric than private debt with regards to dollar strength?

Lyn Alden @LynAlden 1781369209

Imo the biggest difference is that private debt bubble peaks are more disinflationary than people think. Money-printing offsets debt destruction.

Public debt bubble peaks are more inflationary, with rising fiscal deficits no longer offset by falling interest rates.

GM, doing a refresh of some of my giga-long macro charts. Figured I'd post my favorite one here on Nostr first.

Readers of Broken Money will recognize the 1920-2022 version of this from that book, which is now extended through 2025.

(Digging into this data super deeply back in 2018/2019, along with a bunch of related datasets, is how I came to see that nothing stops this train.)
