The effects of years of schooling on growth in cross-country regressions, once physical capital (CUDIE) is controlled for. The regression coefficient is actually negative (more education => slower growth), though barely. 
The obvious answer to this dilemma is that schooling is not human capital. Human capital is economically useful skills, which everyone knows schools does not impart much of (human capital is also not intelligence, though intelligence makes it much easier to acquire).
I do love the conclusion: schooling may not be good for growth, but we should provide it anyways for moralistic reasons. Guarantee the large majority of prospective students would prefer to avoid this gift if not for the $$$.
Canarsie: The Jews and Italians of Brooklyn Against Liberalism by Jonathan Rieder
This is a 1985 ethnography about racial conflict in eastern Brooklyn in the 70s. It’s a true story of white flight. Rieder embedded in the community for two years to learn their stories

An amuse bouche:
“Canarsians spoke about crime with more unanimity than they achieved on any other subject, and they spoke often and forcefully. Most had a favorite story of horror. A trucker remembered defecating in his pants a few years earlier when five black youths cornered him in an elevator and placed a knifeblade against his throat. ‘They got two hundred dollars and a gold watch. They told me, Listen you white motherfucker, you ain't calling the law.’”
“‘The police came and we caught one of them. The judge gave them a fucking two-year probation.’ The experience left an indelible imprint. He still relived the humiliation of soiling himself.”

It's not. Android keeps scanning for WiFi networks in the background to track your location.

Buffett's letters to shareholders are some of the best things I have ever read. And I read a lot.
They're better than any course. No degree could teach you investing the way these letters do.

Cada día, los hombres se despiertan junto a mujeres de las que se arrepienten de haberse casado.
Renunciaron a su paz, a su propósito e incluso a su poder solo para complacer a una mujer que les causaba estrés constante. Algunos pagan manutención por hijos que no son suyos. Otros viven en una miseria silenciosa.
¿Por qué? Porque eligieron basándose en sentimientos, no en hechos.
La verdad es que no todas las mujeres son aptas para ser esposas. Puedes acostarte con ella, salir de fiesta con ella, incluso amarla, pero eso no significa que debas casarte con ella.

1. Enfermeras
A las enfermeras se las considera amables y cariñosas, pero el matrimonio revela su otra cara.
Se enfrentan al dolor, la sangre, la muerte y el trauma a diario. Por eso, al llegar a casa, suelen estar emocionalmente agotadas. Puede que no les queden energías para amar, apoyar o incluso hablar.
Están acostumbradas a tomar el control y dar órdenes en el trabajo, y esa actitud no desaparece al entrar en una relación. Esto las hace difíciles de liderar, de corregir y de tratar.
Creen saber más que tú, incluso sobre tu propio cuerpo o tus decisiones.
Como hombre, necesitas una mujer comprensiva y cariñosa, no una agotada que te vea como un paciente más.

【大麻を吸うと痩せる！？】
大麻を吸うと「マンチー（猛烈な食欲）」が来て爆食いするのに、なぜか常用者には痩せている人（BMIが低い人）が多かったり、肥満・糖尿病の割合が統計的に少ない。
これは医学界でも大麻のパラドックスと呼ばれ、長年研究されてきた現象である。

1. 腸内細菌叢（マイクロバイオーム）の最適化
これが強力な要因の一つ。
THCやCBDは、腸管のカンナビノイド受容体に直接アクセスし、腸内環境を劇的に変える。
• 肥満を防ぐバクテリアの増加
大麻の成分は、腸内の炎症を抑え、肥満やメタボを防ぐアッカーマンシア・ムシニフィラという強力な善玉菌を増やすことが最近の研究で示唆されている。
• バリア機能の修復
腸の粘膜の結びつきを強くし、炎症の元になる毒素が血中に漏れ出すリーキーガットを防ぐため、結果的に代謝が落ちにくく太りにくい体質になる。

2. CB1受容体の「ダウンレギュレーション（減少）」
これが代謝における最大のカラクリ。
• たまに吸う人
THCが脳や内臓の「CB1受容体」を急激に刺激するため、猛烈な食欲（マンチー）を引き起こし、脂肪を溜め込もうとする。
• 日常的に吸う人
体が「THCが頻繁に入ってくるから、バランスをとるために受容体の数を減らそう」と適応する。これをダウンレギュレーションと呼ぶ。
実は、現代人の肥満の最大の原因は、ストレスや悪食でCB1受容体が過剰に働きすぎていることにある。
大麻の常用によってこの受容体の数が減る（または落ち着く）ことで、脂肪の蓄積が抑えられ、基礎代謝が上がる。

In 1945, a young man dropped out of Harvard Law without a degree.
With just $20 and a family to support, he started from scratch.
He later became Warren Buffett’s partner, helping build a ~$700B empire.
He never used a computer, rarely attended meetings, and read for hours daily until age 99.
Charlie Munger — Buffett called him “the abominable no-man” for his ability to eliminate bad ideas quickly.
He built a thinking system that made poor decisions nearly impossible.
I turned his mental models into 12 Claude prompts. Here are all 12:👇🧵

Prompt 1 — The Inversion Prompt
Munger's most famous rule: always invert.
Don't ask "how do I succeed?" Ask "what guarantees I fail?" Then avoid those things.
Use this:
"I want to [achieve goal]. Instead of telling me how to succeed, list every possible way I could fail at this. Then tell me exactly how to avoid each one."

Prompt 2 — The Second-Order Thinking Prompt
Most people think one step ahead. Munger thought three.
First-order: "This decision makes me money."
Second-order: "But what does it do to my reputation?"
Third-order: "And what does that do to my next 10 deals?"
Use this:
"Here is my decision: [decision]. Walk me through the second and third-order consequences — the effects of the effects. What am I not seeing?

1/N 🧵
Before the predictions, understand the setup. Saturn moving into Aries is debilitated, meaning it is weakest and most unpredictable here.
Jupiter moving into Leo is strong and confident here.
Rahu in Capricorn chases ambition and career obsessively. Ketu in Cancer cuts emotional attachments and forces inner work. Now put all of this together for your rising sign.

Aries Ascendant -
Saturn sits directly on your ascendant. This hits your health, energy levels, and personal confidence.
You will feel heavier, more restricted, and more serious than usual. This is not punishment, it is pressure that builds character. Jupiter in your 5th house is a massive blessing though. Children related news comes, investments do better than expected, and your intelligence sharpens.
The problem area is your 4th house where Ketu sits. Home life feels unsettled and mother's health may need attention. Do not neglect your body in this period. Sleep, food, and routine become your medicine.
