It has always been my stance that Canada should acquire Greenland since they have many similar lands.
spacegod··on Two-thirds of American employees regret their college degrees
I did look and I still did not come out the other side ok.

I think personality is an underrated factor. I would've been happier working at 7/11 for the rest of my life than having to go to university (which I hated) and then to a job I hated to pay it off.

spacegod··on US air quality is slipping after years of improvement

spacegod··on The Instagram Aesthetic Is Over
When you see a fashion trend everywhere, it has two years before it expires.
spacegod··on The Instagram Aesthetic Is Over
I remain convinced that the next true popular aesthetic will be an offshoot of art deco combined with heavy nature related elements.

The next wave of tech is clean tech.

Electric cars and lab cultured meat.

We've entered years of clean designs of pure white backgrounds derived from Apple and more recently the pastels. There's no chaos with our designs and too much order.

I think Travis Kalanick was right to enter the real estate/land use industry. I think Stanford and Harvard buying up real estate in the central valley of California is the smartest decision.

We're going back to the land, just like the 70's.

spacegod··on Letter from Tim Cook to Apple Investors
Nah this guy is right.

spacegod··on If San Francisco Is So Great, Why Is Everyone I Love Leaving?
Uhhh where in Marin? I grew up here.

The average Marin resident doesn't eat at these places.

These are the places for the finance CEOs, high profile landlords, and the tech commuters. There's no post hippie commune or even yuppies here anymore. Just greedy fucks eating overpriced food on undersized plates.

spacegod··on Why we suck at “solving wicked problems”
Mental development is not linear.
spacegod··on Google Earth Studio
As a GIS developer I don't know what my thoughts are on this.
