Notice how logos recently all look the same?
Not because it makes them look better...
But because of THIS psychological trick that manipulates your brain.
That's why Google, Microsoft, and Airbnb are all doing it.
Here's the full explanation:🧵

Prompt: “Beautiful, snowy Tokyo city is bustling. The camera moves through the bustling city street, following several people enjoying the beautiful snowy weather and shopping at nearby stalls. Gorgeous sakura petals are flying through the wind along with snowflakes.”
Impressive!
Here's my conversation with Mark Zuckerberg, his 3rd time on the podcast, but this time we talked in the Metaverse as photorealistic avatars. This was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. It really felt like we were talking in-person, but we were miles apart 🤯 It's hard to put into words how awesome this was for someone like me who values the intimacy of in-person conversation. It gave me a glimpse of an exciting future with many new possibilities and fascinating questions about the nature of reality and human connection ❤

This article is littered with a bunch of woke shibboleths so if you read it, YMMV, but the graphics department does an objectively good job of batting cleanup.
The takeaway: Of the $84 trillion projected to be passed down from older Americans to millennial and Gen X heirs through 2045, $16 trillion will be transferred within the next decade.
Why is this important?
If viewed properly, this is the source of funds to wipe out all student debt.
How?
A one-time estate tax exemption that says any dollar “donated” to a fund that pays down student loans (for the benefit of everyone), gets you X dollars (in cash or in kind) passed through to your heirs free of inheritance tax. Find out what X is for $1-2T to be donated and you will both wipe out student debt and do it legally.
Incidentally, you’d also do so in a way that creates some goodwill as a few estates will be paying an enormous share on behalf of everyone else (and I suspect gladly so).
Less anger, less debt…seems like a win-win for society.
