Fab newsletter, first of all 'mommy, where to cliches come from?' Is a great title

'intense thoughtfulness' is a concept I have not considered before

Is that an actual quote by Marcus Aurelius? Because this is a lyric in a song?

I would love to hear your future musings on why Nuclear Isn't all bad

And the nuance around the love of money is the root of all evil.

Fab article, food for thought.

Thanks Gabe

Thank you for the thoughtful reply, Sassy!

TBH, I invented IT on the Spot.

And no, that's not an actual quote, hahaha. I was just proving a point: you can put anything next to a Big Shot name and people will project social proof into it.

Oh, there's so much to go on about Nuclear Power. It's actually much, MUCH safer than coal, for instance. There's been a lot of Propaganda against Nuclear due to only 3 accidents.

3 Mile Island ⇾ Wasn't even that much of a deal

Chernobyl ⇾ Was caused by a ton of human errors that could've easily been avoided (and would never happen again with the knowledge we now have)

Fukushima ⇾ Also didn't have that much a consequence Nuclear Wise. And, overall, was a total Freak Accident caused by a Natural Disaster.

Anyway, going into more technical aspects would require a full-blown article.

Money is a tool. The problem is when people mistake the tool for the "thing itself". It's an efficient means of trading value, not an end within itself.

I didn’t think I’d be reading about cliche’s prom night today. I’m ok with this.
