A Short Car Ride with My Son Reminded Me How Difficult This Past Year Has Been for All of Us

  One recent Saturday morning, I escaped the house with my 6-year-old son to pick up coffee from a drive thru. It was a bit more mundane than some of our weekend outings pre-2020, but grading on the pandemic curve, it was probably one of the most exciting things we did all month. Before we rolled out of the driveway, my son said “Daddy, wanna know something?” I was like, “Absolutely I do,” thus opening the door for the dropping of some knowledge the likes of which the world has never seen. The bits of information that followed this question that my precocious middle child repeated throughout our little caffeine quest weren’t particularly earth shattering — although I did learn lots of fun facts about our neighbors’ dogs — but the eagerness with which he delivered his pronouncements did make me sit up and take notice. It struck me right away just how starved he must’ve been for some one-on-one time so he could share literally everything on his mind with me. At first glance it was co...

 When selecting a surgeon for your next brain procedure, should you pick a surgeon who looks like a butcher or one who looks like a surgeon? The logic of skin in the game implies you need to select the one who (while credentialed) looks the least like what you would expect from a surgeon, or, rather, the Hollywood version of a surgeon.

The Electric Vehicle Revolution: What to expect?

Image
  Statements like “electric is the future” and “EVs will cause a revolution” dance on the lips of people from almost every demographic of the world. If you’ve ever been a listener or speaker of the aforementioned statements, let me tell you that the revolution has begun and the future is here! The question we should be asking is, Will the EV industry dissipate traditional transport in the next two decades? Will there ever be a scenario where they can co-exist? To answer these questions we must first understand that why is the transition to EVs so essential? Are the benefits restricted to “saving the environment” or curbing vehicular pollution? not really, an electric vehicle actually proves to be a better option logistically. Here’s how, EVs have far fewer moving parts than the traditional internal combustion engine. The battery, motor, and electronics associated with an EV require no maintenance. With the advent of the regenerative braking technology(the process of conversion of v...
