Una cosa che molti (apparentemente) non sanno. Col petrolio si fanno un mucchio di cose.

Qualunque paese al mondo con una tale politica fiscale sarebbe già fallito. Vediamo se riusciamo a vedere la fine dell'impero americano basato sul dollaro

Assisteremo alla crescita economica di Cina ed India che assumeranno un peso sempre più rilevante nell'economia e nella politica planetaria. Gli Usa credo che reggeranno ancora, ma perderanno la leadership assoluta, anche se crederanno di averla ancora per parecchio o almeno così continueranno a raccontarsela.

The 2,850% gain in $AMC shares during the 2021 meme stock mania has now been completely erased after a 98% decline. On the other side of every mania is the weighing machine, which always wins out in the end.

Cosa si perde lasciando il mondo del lavoro:

Income - è evidente che quando non si lavora non si incassa più
Identità - non è il mio caso, non mi sono mai identificato col lavoro anche se ci ho dedicato molte energie fisiche e mentali, ma negli ultimi tempi erano più i contro che i pro, per cui avevo già maturato un distacco mentale
Scopo - ciascuno deve cercare il proprio, piccolo o grande che sia
Struttura - ho mantenuto una struttura regolare e una certa routine per le mie giornate, credo sia fondamentale per vivere bene
Comunità - già dopo 6 mesi ho notato il distacco dal lavoro e dai colleghi, che sostanzialmente non frequento più e non ne sento la mancanza, credo dipenda dal proprio carattere
Rilevanza - il mio posto nel mondo non era determinato dal lavoro che facevo, guai per chi si trova in quella trappola mentale
Potere - non è mai stato un mio problema

What We Lose - HumbleDollar

WHEN WE RETIRE, we win back control over our daily life. Gone is the boss, the expectation that we’ll be at work at a certain hour, the worry about what the next office email will bring. We have a degree of freedom that, in many cases, we last knew when we were students contemplating a long...

Psychologist Laurie Santos teaches Yale's single most popular course, On the Science of Happiness.
She found that what people think makes and keeps them happy (money, status, good grades) is in fact, erroneous. Those things that ensure good physical health (sleep, exercise and nutrition), membership in community, expressions of gratitude, thinking in mindful ways and finding meaning in everyday life are more accurate markers indicative of the internal sense of happiness.

Neurological psychologists remind us that while our brains are good at many things, happiness is not necessarily one of them. The process of natural selection and sustenance is more oriented to survival, reproduction and full utilization of resources.

What Is Happiness, Anyway?

Happiness is ultimately a choice: so choose to have good relationships, find beauty in nature and take care of yourself

Di sicuro non mancano gli stimoli alla curiosità e credo sia comune la sensazione di non riuscire ad esplorare tutto e ci sembra di navigare solo sulla superficie delle cose.

These days, you walk smack dab into a deluge of advice every time you turn around. There is an abundance of sources that offer to tell you the best way to eat/exercise/dress/speak/date/think. Thousands of books, blog articles, and podcasts forward suggestions for better, happier living.

But there are only so many hours in a day. You can’t consume everything about everything, and you don’t need to waste your time consuming content about aspects of your life you’re already satisfied with.

At the same time, know yourself; recognize how you like to live and the things you’re willing and unwilling to change.

When individuals offer advice, they’re telling you what’s worked for them. And what’s worked for them is based on what drives them and what they find most rewarding. And what they find most rewarding is based on their particular personality. Even when it comes to research in the social sciences, study results are based on averages, and the averages may not apply to you.

Related to considering whether a dispenser of advice has the same personality as you is the need to consider whether the source is in the same life stage as you. What works for someone at one age and in one set of circumstances may not work for someone in another.

Questo passaggio non mi convince

Bottom line: The longer someone has been successfully doing something they recommend, the more credence you can lend their advice.

E' questione di priorità, e di narrazione, probabilmente i governanti seguono quelle sbagliate.
