Thank you for sharing on BGA during the crowd funding phase. Really makes a difference when deciding to buy.

Me too! I’m trying to find a modern board game from every country. Of 196, I’ve identified 50 but only played 18.

Looks fun!

What are the best board games designed by Iranians?

I hope some of them are listening to you. Unfortunately the Dems don’t have big teeth for corporate greed and their base is okay with it.

This is true, perhaps the short form here isn’t the best place to communicate this stuff either. But you can clarify what you intended to mean in as many posts as it takes, I’ll read them.

It’s not exactly a statement that invites conversation but I’m open to understanding what you mean. How do you interpret “…where now they just talk to each other in decreasing circles of irrelevance”?

“If you’re not talking about the benefits of AI, you are irrelevant.” - Benedict Evans

“It’s not that I’m against ACA credits, I just think the USA would be better off if Argentina had that money instead.”

Only in an idealistic world does college teach consciousness to students with any regularity. College is a reliable signal of family money though.

The wealth needs to be distributed earlier in the process. Cutting executive compensation in half (and distributing it as compensation to all the employees) is where the cycle stops at scale.

Position #2 is just the default for all you media types.

Position #3 is hard for some to accept: AI is both transformative and overhyped.

Thanks! The White Castle is one of my top 5 games with around 120 plays this year. Hopefully the other fans and I on BGA can convince them.

If the designers haven’t thought through this part of the player experience, there’s likely a lot more wrong with the game.

And 2026 nominations don’t open until mid-October 2025. www.nobelpeaceprize.org/nobel-peace-...

That timeline to make major decisions depends on the size of your business, the smaller the business the shorter the timeline. The smallest are already making them.

Good? Bad? Hard to say. Craving leads to suffering.

That’s a good one. Sai Weng’s lost horse story is my favorite reminder that valence is a vail that is often distracting from the truth beyond the vail. medium.com/a-good-life/...

In my experience, valence of a thing is determined before I’m aware of the thing. A part of me decides if a thing is good or bad and when I become consciously aware of that thing, the good/bad decision is already a part of the concept in my mind.

haha, now that you’ve done the research… what is the 1 newsletter you would recommend most?
