  • A financial asset is a series of cashflows. Your existence is a series of cashflows. Therefore, you are a financial asset. Advertisers, marketers, influencers, social media companies, big data, ai etc. are all in the business of predicting and directing those cashflows. It’s very simple, that’s where the money is. The monetization of everythimg is not a conspiracy theory, it’s how the economy works.






  • When i was a kid even poor people had a 3 bedroom house on a quarter acre block. I know someone who rents the balcony of a 2 bedroom flat and shares with 7 other people., all of them are migrants or international students. Oddly enough, i live in a house that was built in a backyard. A cheap, crappy new investment property made to capitalise on the housing crisis. We’ve had more than two dozen tradesmen visit in a couple of years so i wonder how that investment’s working out. This is not progress.


  • I wish… I have the opposite problem. I work with people from many different countries and my brain gets utterly scrambled by constantly switching between accents. Sometimes it gets so bad that I, an Australian, cannot understand a person from New Zealand. It all just registers as random noise. I’ve been in this job for 8 years and I really try but it doesn’t get any better and it’s quite embarrassing.
