“l learned that while global GDP is $100 trillion, only about $67 trillion of that comes from tangible assets. The rest comes from services, and governments tend to have a hard time calculating and understanding these kinds of intangible assets. (This, of course, is only one of the many things governments have a hard time with.) I learned how Europeans play beer pong: with mandatory bouncing. I learned how it feels to be woken up in the middle of the night by a roommate saying, ‘We have to go to the bomb shelter,’ and shortly thereafter I learned how it feels to ignore that warning …. I learned that once upon a time, Albanians avoided taxes on Christians by ‘converting to Islam,’ then continuing to drink alcohol and eat pork and practice Christianity like always.” (07/14/25)
