Sunday Stir #40 - Household Net Worth, Beautiful Eyes, Apologizing

Oct 04, 2021 3:56 am

Happy Sunday! It's now October and cooler weather is here. That's something to celebrate. I can't believe this is the 40th episode. Only 12 more weeks to hit a straight year of doing this newsletter. This year has flown by.


Alrighty, on to the Stir!


The World of Net Worth

Rising house prices and stock markets have taken US household net worth to an all-time high of $141 trillion, up almost 20% from a year ago. Most of that new wealth is due to the stock market.


The World of Beautiful People

Every seen a dark haired person with blue eyes? It's stunning. But have you seen an extremely dark-haired with basically black hair and black skin person with blue eyes. Here's the blue-eyed Buton tribe of Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia.

How did these people get those blue eyes? Potentially from breeding with European foreigners like the Portuguese that came to the island. I'm also wondering how that kid on the bottom right got that sweet fade. They got barbershops out in the jungle?

Just apologize when you’re wrong, instead of being defensive because you’re embarrassed. /source
