It was more like dominos falling than a feedback loop. It was poor / fraudulent mortgage underwriting standards which caused a housing bubble and subsequent collapse of house prices and increase in mortgage defaults. The CDO market provided a large part of the funding for those mortgages and suffered as a result. The panic over the CDO market's collapse caused a widespread credit crisis for anyone suspected of having exposures to CDOs, and then the US government decided to allow a major bank to fail due to credit crisis (Lehman Brothers). This was a terrible mistake that nearly caused the cascading failure of the entire financial sector and forced the US government to execute a huge bailout operation. The blame lies with the US government, for first failing to properly regulate the market, and then allowing Lehman Brothers to fail without understanding the consequences.

The consequences of the 2008 financial crisis reverberated for over a decade, and then COVID-19 pandemic arose and the government decided that it wasn't going to make the "same mistake" again and started bailing out everyone. However, they overshot, misallocated funds, caused runaway inflation, then failed to recognize the persistent inflation and acted too late to curb it. That brings us to today, where there is ongoing speculation about whether this will be a "soft landing" or a "hard landing." If history is any guide, then I think that this kind of market situation this means we can expect another spectacular crash in the near future. The consequences of the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent rescue operation were still unresolved when the pandemic began, because the Fed had not figured out how to unwind its bloated balance sheet from all those years of Quantitative Easing. Just when the Fed thought it would start unwinding, the pandemic hit, and the Fed balance sheet grew astronomically. Now, for the first time in decades, the Fed is facing the runaway inflation that "common sense" would have predicted, and they have no choice but to initiate a "rug pull" on the economy in order to bring inflation under control. This will only end when the US consumer is bruised badly enough to reduce consumption, which will put the economy into a tailspin which will cause massive wealth destruction for investors. It's hard to see how the Fed can keep kicking this can down the road. Somewhere along the way there will be a black swan event. Perhaps Russia will choose to escalate cyber, kinetic and/or economic warfare against NATO at the very moment that a US market crash is occurring.

I sincerely hope that I'm wrong, but my Spidey Sense is tingling like it's 2001 or 2008.

>A mentor has advised me not to become "boring" and wants me to try to stay entrepreneurial.

I'm not sure what boring has to do with being entrepreneurial. There are people who are so work obsessed they seem 1 dimensional. Being obsessed with work can quickly make your personality boring. One of the most boring people I know is a successful (at making money, not anywhere else in life) entrepreneur. Talking to them is like getting a highlight reel of the news. "It's hard to find good workers, health insurance premiums are too high, schools aren't teaching job skills, etc"

>I still want to be creative.

I think if your mentor had said "Don't become passive, stay creative and curious" I could have agreed with that. As you get older, have kids, get hurt in relationships etc, it's really easy to lose all your personal interests, hobbies, and just get into a rut where you basically do nothing. You give up trying or learning at your job, and your spare time is just watching TV. Having hobbies, learning stuff, that keeps you creative. Leaving a job when you have clearly reached a point where you are bored out of your mind and you have stopped learning ... having some sort of a challenge at a job keeps you creative.

I joke with people that the pace of my hobbies and personal learning is basically "How to take two years to work though a book about how to learn something in 30 days." But it's better than not getting through it at all.

> ... inputs to, constraints on or goals behind the decision.

Of course! Unfortunately and somewhat sadly, later on I discovered that these constraints and goals boiled down to one of a few categories:

1) Got to spend the budget this FY, otherwise we get our budget cut.

2) A big enough sale at once means the sales person is more likely to give me a kick-back.

3) The overhead of the procurement process is so obscenely enormous that it swamps any potential cost saving. A single procurement cycle instead of two is literally cheaper overall than, say, a $500K saving on the hardware.

4) The procurement process is not that expensive, but I am that lazy. It's not my money, so why bother optimising it? It is my time and effort to do the procurement twice however...

5) I can't count, and that 10% discount looked really sweet. There is some techo telling me to buy most of this stuff later, but what does he know? I studied finance! I'm an MBA! I'm a business person now!

A lot of cheeses benefit from very thin slicing - it emphasizes the crystallization of Parmigiano Regiano, the creaminess of a Havarti, or the everything of an Applewood smoked cheddar.
Not my experience at all (25+ years of experience working for companies in 5 different countries). However YMMV of course.
Population growth is tied closely to privation: families have more children when they need more bodies to labor and produce resources for survival. Intentionally starving entire countries because of some misinformed attempt at Malthusianism has the opposite of the intended effect. And that's even before we consider how disgustingly callous it is.

I highly doubt that we'll have significant spare solar. Energy is just way too useful and valuable. Once we get close to a situation where the price goes negative, somebody will figure out a way to turn the spare solar into dollars.

https://terraformindustries.com/ and SpaceX are planning on turning solar and atmospheric CO2 into methane. Not spare solar, but dedicated solar. It'd be silly to use it to heat your house. If electricity is cheap enough to make the process viable, then a heat pump will save you a huge amount of money.

I just wanted to say that I love your phrasing of working on something that "you hate a little less".

In general I believe the idea of "work on what you love" to be awful advice; I have found that I get deep satisfaction out of working on something that someone is willing to pay for, even if that means that sometimes it is a headache and I hate doing some of the things that need to be done. Once you accept that those things will continue to exist and continue to need to be done, and it's not going to be bliss, those things seem to matter less.

I recall throwing some plastic bottlecaps in fireplaces during my youth. IIRC, they'd get melty, then the puddle would ignite and burn very hot, until it was spent, and that would be about it. Might have smelled funny, but I can't remember that far back; was less sooty than the wood at least. Of course, water bottle caps aren't likely to have food waste or much of anything else other than the plastic, maybe a smidge of water and some fingeroils from handling. I also didn't have a gas spectrometer or anything, and the fireplace wasn't an industrial furnace with process controls and what not.

On the topic of food waste, my time in the kitchen says most foods will burn just fine. Although, they often leave residues that I could see being problematic when they build up.

As with everything, you'd need specifics to determine the right tradeoffs. It would seem to me there's potential in reducing the transport distance and land use of solid waste, and also reducing extraction, transport, and burning of some fossil fuels, if a burn the trash for electricity program works. But specifics matter, of course.

Generating synthetic hydrocarbon fuels from oversupply of renewables only makes sense for use cases that can't be easily electrified like aviation. The conversion process is very inefficient. Others here have pointed out that hydrogen could eventually be used directly in aviation, at which point hydrocarbon energy storage is even less relevant.

Regarding home heating in the future, firstly the infrastructure we have is rapidly depreciating to the point of needing replacement: The gas distribution infrastructure in many areas is old and very expensive to maintain and operate, and furnaces only last a few decades at best.

It makes more sense to electrolyse water to H2 and then convert to NH3 for long term storage, then convert that to electricity at a central plant in the heating season, and use the electricity to run heat pumps which can be 300+% efficient.

Heat pumps even make sense (from a climate/CO2 perspective, not necessarily a household finance perspective) with the fossil natural gas derived electricity we
still use today.

How they do it at a conceptual level isn't a big secret: they don't need to minimize die area the way other companies do. For Apple, the die is just part of a chip that is part of the larger system they sell that they can amortize the cost over. nVidia doesn't have a system to do that with so their natural inclination is to lean towards keeping the die size as small as possible and just overclock the hell out of it. (right there is the 'trick': Apple can afford to do things that chew up die space that nVidia and others can't while maintaining their profit margins) Being a process generation ahead is also a rather huge thing too. (which is another thing they can amortize the cost of over large numbers of complete systems and mobile devices which their competitors can't)

Also related: Apple designs their hardware to do just what they want it to while everyone else is designing for a more general use case. This also costs die area, IP licensing fees etc.
Courts ascribe guilt by questioning private individuals for their testimony ascribing guilt.

"Costing an arm and a leg" is an idiom. "The disease cost her an arm and a leg" might be using the idiom to refer to the costs of medical treatment, or could refer to the literal amputation of limbs. Most people use context to understand this. For example, what was the disease?

Either way, it's an impressive multi-trillion dollar sleight of hand.

Find what's fulfilling for you.

For me, it was not fulfilling to be shut out of the private equity markets because I made too little as a wage slave. It was not fulfilling for me to not have the choice of hopping out to month long festivals, because I was merely earning UP TO 2 weeks of time off, or the unlimited vacation policy was just 2 weeks of time because the expectations from the manager were the same.

For others, wage work subsidizing some local recreational activities and eventual downpayment on a home is enough. Thats perfectly fine.

So for you, relationships are fulfilling, and maybe creativity is. But maybe wage work is too. In your situation, I would at least be prioritizing finding out (maybe by making a post like this as a start). But its better for me to know, than to not know. and I will do that at the expense of personal and professional relationships if a choice needed to be made.

One thing to know about both the entrepreneurial and creative side, is that the people you are inspired by always had a choice. They did not need a job to exchange time for food and shelter. Failure would not impact their life. Whereas for people reliant on wage-based professional attainment, the stakes are much higher and its not just a casual decision or path to take. If you fail at the entrepreneurial pursuit, you might actually be reliant on the wage work for the next decade - hoping - that nothing goes wrong to make you further reliant. Whereas the "fun" entrepreneurs have a survivorship bias in their favor because they can try and try and try again, in quick and simultaneous succession.
'Now'?

But yes, I was thinking of that ('entrepreneur's relief' I believe) too - it solves this problem nicely: don't worry about it until you know you're making money.
