    Unpopular opinion, but Tesla model 3 has been the best car with the lowest total cost of ownership.

    Electricity is cheaper than gas by a lot, no moving parts or fluids to replace except washer fluid, brakes last forever since it’s Regen braking.

    It’s also pretty fun to drive.

    Not a fan of the dude, and never bought into the hype on the tech side, but it’s a solid car.











  • I disagree.

    Our intelligence was not evolved for too much thinking. Most of our brain is wired towards feeling, and for the overwhelming majority of human existence, our feelings were well suited for small, cooperative, communal existence as small tribes/bands/clans. We don’t “think” for most of the decisions we make in our day to day lives, nor do we try to learn from all the possible sources.

    IMO religion is “needed” in order to shortcut our feeling brain to help make us make the correct collectivist decision. It’s like writing software on shitty firmware and limited hardware so that it can still function in modern society.

    It actually does get higher revenue for content creators for the majority of your creators. Average per view is something like 5-10x vs non premium views.

    It’s based around your watch time and something like 50%? of your subscription split across the channels you watch.

    Ad impressions pay very little on YouTube.
