If one is already temperamentally inclined to the "serenity to accept the things [one] cannot change, Courage to change the things [one] can, and Wisdom to know the difference", then they may not need Stoicism.
Snow Leopard was the best version for me. I used it for months only restarting to install updates and there was no impact on the performance or stability.
Good news.
But I've been using Roam [1] for a couple months and I don't know if I can live without "biderectional links" and "unliked references" anymore.
In case you see this, can you please point me to any resources /books on a non-overly simplified way to explain the roots of corruption in Latin American countries?
I would start with "The causes of corruption" by Daniel Treisman. It isn't specific to Latin America, though.
In summary, Treisman will show that many factors appear to have an influence on whether a country is more or less corrupt. The colonial past of Latin American countries helps to explain part of it, but it doesn't appear to be a causa sine qua non.
Thank you! I have started reading the paper, and it is interesting to read how the author lays out his hypotheses.
Most intriguing is the link between how judicial systems that were setup to support the king may tend to be more corrupt since they were literally robbing property/money from his subjects. On the other side, the British system relies on judicial precedents and process, helping ensure a more fair trial between the government and property owners/business people.
I fail to see how wealth inequality is a problem worse than poverty. I also fail to see why we can't try to fix both poverty and inequality at the same time.
