Might be a hot take because obviously Parsons is an elite player but he wasn't going to make that bad Cowboys defense good enough to contend this year.
When you account for the trade deadline move, the Cowboys ultimately gave up Parsons, a second round pick and Mazi Smith to get Kenny Clark, Quinnen Williams, a first round pick and 90M in cap savings (over next four years). That's not bad at all.
I've never really cared much for "the" excellent. If you are excellent that is awesome, but I think that it's the desire to be excellent and the attitude that comes with it that is priceless.
The last section on why is the highlight for me. I'd come to a similar, less well articulated conclusion on a recent episode of SNL. Somehow, Japan has maintained its identity while every other western country has melted into one.
Instead, I think it’s more useful to realize what Japanese culture represents to foreigners, in a more general sense. And what I think it represents is alternative modernity.
Politically and economically speaking, Japan is part of the West. It’s a democratic, capitalist, developed country, with a notion of human rights similar to what prevails in the U.S. or Europe. It trades extensively with the U.S. and the EU, and it has strong scientific and intellectual links with both. It is neither a repressive one-party state like China or Russia, nor a theocracy like Iran, nor an aristocracy like UAE.
And yet in a million small ways, Japan is culturally distinct from the U.S. or Europe — or from anywhere else. It has different mannerisms, different social customs, and different aesthetic sensibilities. People relate to their coworkers and their friends and their families in different ways. Japanese institutions — companies, schools, bureaucracies — all do things a bit differently than their peers elsewhere. Even tiny aspects of Japanese culture, like preferences for brand goods, or the way people read the manual when they buy a new camera, feel different in ways that are difficult to describe but easy to recognize.
My friend @benwehrman made a formal invitation to me and he is the reason why I'm here today! (he is the reason why I'm on NOSTR too and why I eat a bunch of meat too) I'm glad to be here today sharing with y'all!!
Was not expecting to see Google after. Might come back in a few months when there are other options.

When I left Cuba for Brazil, we had to go through Venezuela to reach Brazil, where we crossed the border. We left Cuba on April 17th, a Monday. The plane we were supposed to catch at 4 PM never left because it didn't arrive in Havana. We left Cuba at 12:17 AM on Tuesday. At 8:00 AM, we had to catch a flight within Venezuela to another city, so if we were delayed any longer, we wouldn't get on. But, well, everything went well, and we managed to catch the other flight. From there, we arrived to the city of coyote , and that day we couldn't leave by car because there were roadblocks (protests) by miners on the roads. So, on Tuesday, we couldn't leave and had to sleep in that city. Coyote's house was extremely dirty; he even had mice in the room. So, thank God, the people who were helping us in Brazil—his parents lived in that same city—and they picked us up and took us to their house. On Wednesday, we left the city at 9 AM, heading for the Brazilian border. Halfway there, the car broke down and we were stranded in the middle of nowhere. Imagine, me, my wife, and a one-year-old child in the middle of nowhere. At that moment, a thousand things go through your head: are they going to kill us and leave us there, stealing all our money, etc.? Well, the guy managed to get someone to tow us to the nearest town, and we slept in a seedy motel. The next day, Thursday, he still hadn't fixed the car, so another coyote had to come and sort it out. From there, it was nonstop until early Friday morning when we finally reached the border. We crossed with other people on motorcycles, and the coyote took us to the hostel where we were going to stay.
After I took a bath and collapsed into bed, it was like all the stress vanished at once; it was like I'd finally exploded.
It had been almost five days without sleep, and with all the psychological burden of knowing my family's life was at stake.
The US needs to keep leveraging its intellectual capital (not dollar hegemony) to remain the leader in cyberspace and internet marketing and entertainment so that in case of a war, it has more allies than China.
Having more weapons might seem like a winning move but if one has no true allies, they lose.
Ref: The defeat of the well stocked Nazi army.
People fight wars, not guns and weapons. Not even an army of drones I'll argue (they can be hacked).
China has no interest in fighting the USA and the problem is America's debt problem. Seems like there'll be a lot of trade wars on the road to $1 quadrillion in debt. After which point people will maybe realize this is all crazy and they will stop chasing the high of debt cocaine. Maybe we will go back to being religious and to looking to the stars, and to having kids and not not bothering with overpriced fiat school when trade skills are everywhere.
Yes, post Christmas brain.
Unfortunately many European countries need to hit the rock bottom Argentina-style before things start to change
I love this question Ben!! If I became President of Love, I wouldn’t try to engineer romance — I’d fix incentives.
I’d invest in honest relationship education early, slow dating by default, and systems that reward clarity over volume. Fewer options, clearer intentions, more accountability.
I’d also focus on reducing chronic stress and instability, because people bond better when they’re not in survival mode — and I’d normalize being single so relationships are chosen, not rushed.
One key thing: I would actively discourage red-pill ideology — for both men and women.
That content thrives on manipulation, resentment, and zero-sum thinking. Love doesn’t work that way. Healthy relationships aren’t 50/50 scorekeeping — they’re two people consistently trying to give their best.
What I see instead is confusion being incentivized:
• Men being taught to use women rather than approach relationships with long-term responsibility.
• Unrealistic and contradictory expectations around purity, sex, and commitment.
• Young women absorbing distorted standards about money, status, and worth before they’re emotionally or financially grounded themselves.
None of this creates stable couples. It creates distrust, delay, and isolation.
Healthy love emerges when truth, generosity, maturity, and long-term thinking are incentivized — not fear, leverage, or gender wars.
That's fair. I think there is also unknown consequences as well. Maybe players feel like Dallas is less desirable because they are perceived as not taking care of their guys.
I am just saying it wasn't that bad of a deal. I am sure they have done dumber things. I mean they hired Nick Sorenson to be ST coordinator.
