I like the typeface and concept but I found the site somewhat confusing to use. Also, I feel like it should recommend some difficult vocab words for me to check out, based on say a quiz to get a baseline sense of my current vocabulary.
Features to discover vocabulary are on the drawing board. In the short term, a “word-a-day” feature will recommend five words per week, but the time-tested method for a rich vocabulary is reading, so the long-term ambition is a built-in ebook reader, where saving words would be frictionless and context-aware.
In the meantime, you can browse the index, which is biased toward uncommon words:
Sort of. Researchers were sent in to study it but with no upper boundary and so they kept at it. They went so deep in their research they ended up with the truth of the universe.
It's possible that our next generation advances will be made inside, for example, bioengineering. I'm not super well versed on the topic so this is very speculative, but I've read a lot of cool stuff about DNA-based data storage solutions, and the thought now comes to me that may be that maybe lab-grown brains could achieve some interesting tasks.
The Bible, specifically the New Testament, and more specifically，The Gospels. The reason that it's radical is that Christ overturns traditional notions of morality. Greco-Roman thought saw the rich and powerful as close to the divine but Christ's message is that the meek and poor are prefered by God.
Coming in at #2, I would argue for Marx, maybe Capital. It's radical because it shows that Capitalism is not a "natural" state of affairs (as much as it would like us to believe that it is).
Agreed. I love the Old Testament too, as it is so raw and real. Murder, betrayal, sex, prostitution, and war. Interwoven with the hope of a new start with Christ coming to earth, and a new beginning when he returns.
I love Japan, I really do but they speak almost 0 English and their language is really hard to get good at.
Also taxes in Japan seem to be quite high, on par with the Netherlands.
Baltic states look interesting! According to google Estonia has a fixed 20% income tax.
Although I'm not sure how to pick between them, all three look kind of similar. I've also surprisingly never heard about someone migrating there for financial purposes. I've always thought of the US as the only place to make a lot of money.
You are right about the taxes in the Baltic countries - in all three you can get ~20% effective tax (minor differences between the countries). And they are really similar otherwise.
Most people in a similar situation to yours pick Estonia. It is the most focused one on tech, supporting startups, and overall the most developed one (relatively speaking). Also seems to be the most expensive of the three.
Lithuania has the most business-oriented culture in my experience. Otherwise a nice and chill place.
Latvia is maybe not the best in the above regards (though, not too far off either), but I would say it has the most stuff going on and things to do overall.
