i do find it a little strange that he mentioned 4 hour workweek as hucksterism and then 2/3 of his points are some of the main tenets of the book (outsourcing and automation)

yes, millennial here, it exists but is 99% tongue in cheek humor

It isn’t increased population, it’s population increase in targeted areas (cities), plus financial instruments that make it easy to afford more expensive homes, plus existing homeowners with no incentive to encourage more supply.

I noticed the same thing in Berlin, even when it was just me and a couple of other (usually older) adults.

I'm not sure the capability for FSD will be ready by 2030, but I don't think these reasons are compelling. Insurance will solve these problems

created at the same time too. clearly seems like they are trying to spam this thread

I don’t really agree. The author mentions many books, methods, and apps and that just happens to be the first.

All relationships are transactional, whether it is explicit or implicit. Your comments are just describing different types of transactions. Your gender splits here are not helpful.

The main split that I see over and over again is that men are much less likely to accept you into their group, but much less likely to reject you once you're in (they are tribal). Women are fast to make acquaintances and have larger (mostly healthier) social circles, but are less loosely tied to groups.

I think the US and Canada are really similar here (and maybe it's global), but essentially the trend is:

1. There has been more demand for living in cities and less for rural areas

2. That demand has not been met with the same increases in housing supply, so prices rise

3. Low interest rates make housing an even more attractive investment, and throw gasoline on the fire

It's true

1. Find a couple of group events that you are interested in

2. Show up relentlessly, go in with no expectations

3. Gather contact details and KEEP IN TOUCH WITH PEOPLE

4. Eventually, find a way to add value to the group

I agree with this completely. As I get older, a much more significant amount of my time is spent on the future. Planning for social events, planning when to do housework or chores, planning projects for work. I think you also do more long-term planning at work as you get older. When I was 22, three months seemed like a long time for a project and a long way away for events. Now I know a quarter (12 weeks) is not much time at all, and getting event invitations for a year in advance seems normal, and time slips by in between.

To your point, meditation helps me quite a bit (along with long cardio and limiting media consumption)
