finance

Great chart highlighting a key contradiction: economic growth vs. earnings growth forecasts. Consensus shows GDP deceleration while earnings growth accelerating, both can't be right. Asset prices reflect both lower rates and growth expectations (r & g) but hard to see how they're accurately priced with GDP set to slow

politics

RFK Jr's campaign showed that it's impossible to have a 3rd party candidate in the US, it's just too hard. The guy had the name, the signatures and the political opportunity... yet he had to stop.

IMHO the next best realistic chance to fix politics is to change the voting method used in primaries.

As a society, we're so used to choosing 1 candidate among many that we forgot (i) that other methods exist and (ii) how we vote massively impacts the political life. 

This TED talk from Andrew Yang is a great introduction to this rabbit hole 👇

Parenting

If you want your kids to learn math, science, and teamwork much faster (and one would say "better") than they do in primary school, I cannot recommend enough Synthesis (https://www.synthesis.com/). The company's concept was initially pioneered within SpaceX and then spun off as its own company.

There are 2 modes: 
* Tutor mode, a very well-crafted AI agent helping 5+ kids learn math and science concepts.
* Team is a teamwork-style game where kids must discover the game's rules, communicate, and coordinate to succeed at whatever the game is about.

After each game, kids receive detailed, personalized (AI-generated) feedback on how they did and can improve.

And kids *love* it! You can see in the picture 8yo playing and 6yo religiously watching his big brother play 🤗 

Cannot recommend enough!

And if you're looking for great educative games for kids on your iPad, I wholeheartedly recommend all the Dragonbox games. Super well done and very educative as well 👌

"Characters that are supposed to be cautionary tales, but are so cool / successful that the message falls flat"
