Very insightful conversation between Ezra Klein and Arlie Hochschild (Prof Sociology Berkeley) who embedded herself in a Louisiana Tea Party community for 5 years. She shares an understanding of how politics feels to people on the other side of the "deepest divide in American politics".

Surreal blend between Marvel, South Park and Silicon Valley.

Interesting. US work culture and norms tend to reward/value extrovert character traits. Yale study suggests introverts should be appreciated too...

Curious about the universe but not big on math or physics? Highly recommend this engaging Ted-style talk on the universe, space, time and everything around us. Dutch physicist Robbert Dijkgraaf passionately reveals ideas by Newton, Einstein, Feynman, Hawking, and topics like string theory, the multiverse and more. Note: Dijkgraaf is the Dutch Minister of Science since 2022. This talk was recorded in 2019.

This is a scary video: Wealth gaps between billionaires and the average person are self-perpetuating and growing, and ultimately, billionaires suck wealth out of the economy.

This 7 minute video discusses that where you come from increasingly determines your wealth, and billionaires invest less and save more, leading to shrinking economies vs job and business creation.

According to the video, billionaires save more through tax returns reporting even if they give for philanthropy. Philanthropy doesn't prevent the economy from going off a cliff.

The only thing that can do that is reforming the tax system. (Fun fact: Elon Musk paid 0 income tax in 2018.)

Recommended video if you care about this sort of thing...

Best music video I've seen in a while. Move over Christopher Walken! Love the silly dance moves executed to perfection by Margaret Qualley (The Leftovers, Once upon a time in Hollywood).

Stop me if everyone is aware and I'm the last one to know.

Always great to see new work by director Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich), which is reminiscent of his music video for Weapon of Choice.

By the way, it's a fragrance ad... Not technically a music video... although it's a video with music and dance.

Anyway, 💖.
