It seems like Canada is just taking Reddit’s advice: go no contact.
The chart that has me most befuddled is why across over 1.1 million comments in r/relationship_advice over 15 years, the likelihood of the Reddit hivemind suggesting to “End Relationship” (that is, break up, divorce, or go no contact) has gone from 31 to 49%.
This move to an either/or mindset is depressing. It’s like polarization is a vicious cycle. The more we see it in one place, the more likely we are to apply it elsewhere. Some evidence? The rapid and massive collapse in Canada’s trust of the USA year over year.
Also this week... The relentless march of solar, the staggering scale of wildfires in BC, and the decline of Bud Light (has HBR written that case study yet? It’ll be spicy...)
Until next week, friends.
The rich world is kind of sitting out the current energy revolution.
