You should ignore your kids.
Modern parenting is a stress-induced crisis because we've abandoned how humans actually raise kids. The fix: schedule less, hover less, and let them get bored.
Hey everyone,
If you're new here, welcome to Never Enough, where I brain dump interesting stuff that has been on my mind over the last week.
It's almost impossible to stay on top of AI. It seems like every day there's something crazy happening.
My new favorite podcast makes it easy. It's called AI For Humans and aside from providing a deep dive into the latest AI news, it's absolutely freaking hilarious.
I laugh my head off every single episode, the hosts, Kevin Pereira and Gavin Purcell could easily pass for professional comedians.
Highly recommend. Go check it out. Spotify / YouTube / Apple Podcasts
How to be a great parent by ignoring your kids.
I found myself scratching my head while listening to a recent episode of The Daily, all about the misery of modern parenting.
When did raising children become so exhausting? 71% of parents report that parenting is more stressful than ever before. The U.S. Surgeon General has declared parenting a significant health risk.
The fix isn't more effort. It's alloparenting, free-range play, and the boring secret hunter-gatherers nailed for 300,000 years…
I hate wealth managers.
Most of them add zero value and charge you a fortune to do something you could do yourself for free (build a diversified ETF portfolio).
And yet there's so many of them.
It's not logical, but people like having "a guy" they trust. A trustworthy man or woman they met at the golf club who looks good in a suit and gives them a firm handshake...
That's all for this week…
