  2. That is the difference between being a traveler/expat and a native. Most natives are not extroverts who travel the world looking for friends. You could repeat this same situation over and over in many different countries. If you are an expat, you have to be welcoming because you don't have the luxury of all the friends you made throughout your entire life being in the same city as you.

  4. This is because Japan and Korea have a lot of import restrictions because both countries believe in mercantilism / protectionism for their local workers. For example, Korean lemon farmers have made it so that Korea can collectively only import a few thousand limes per year.

  6. As a Canadian, I can say the Quebecois do not create many warrior-monks. They keep claiming they have a separate and "unique" culture, but I don't agree that cheese fries and Celine Dion constitutes a "culture."

  8. Why do you show the maximum extent of the Roman empire map to compare to the Greeks, when the Greeks under Alexander conquered the most populated places in the world? You did not use a representative map for the Greeks.

  9. Covid isn't what caused a shift to commodities. Maybe you could argue the federal reserves response to covid by doubling the money supply after the crash started the secular commodities cycle--but it was long overdue.
