To me synthwave sounds like a lot of trance or progressive trance from the late 90s/early 2000s - Tilt, Paul Oakenfold, Sasha & Digweed, Tiesto, BT

Ah damnit so I did. The rest of the numbers are true, just not as close to the 1kg’s worth as noted.

A kilo of gold is worth about $193k currently, which depending on where you live and how old you are means different things. For example, if that was your whole net worth and you are a Baby Boomer in the US you’d be about $1.5M below the average family. If you’re under 35, though, you’d be slightly above average.

FWIW because the top 1% have so much wealth they skew the average significantly - overall the median net wealth in the US is right around that $193k number, but the average is just over $1M, which is pretty amazing.

$200K in net wealth would just about put you into the global top 10% and into the top 1% if those were your earnings for the year.

I think “good” and “bad” are hard terms to apply to people objectively, but I do believe that most people value social coherence and are willing to do (the minimum amount of) something to maintain it. If you can’t believe at least that it means that all of those thin blue line people are right, and I’m just not willing to believe that’s true.

That our benevolent alien overlords are gonna show up aaaaaany minute now…
