I’ve found that ChatGPT4 is an excellent tutor and can create a good learning plan based on your specific level, almost any subject (including English).

Often you can explain stuff in your native language to it, if you don’t know the English word for it. 🙂

We’ll so far it’s been quite US centric so far, but I feel he has some solid arguments for most of his points. What’s been intriguing to me is his economic history. It’s presented in an engaging way.

Absolutely agree!

I’m currently midway trough Peter Zeihans The End of the World Is Just the Beginning and just started Yuval Noah Hararis Homo Deus: A History of Tomorrow, he even cites a statistics which is that more people die from obesity than starvation each year, so we have that going for us. So far these two books are a nice contrast. I’m painfully aware of our currently novel situation and hoping things are gonna keep heading in the right direction. Actually would really want them to, trying my best to make them: https://sturlabragason.github.io/blog/2023/07/04/Decentralized-Autonomous-Communities.html

The possibility that things might one day get better for humankind. We’re long overdue.

Hey, you’re correct it’s pretty expensive to buy food here.

If you want to try and get a feel for some of the prices you can try your luck here with Google translate -> https://kronan.is/snjallverslun (this store is much nicer and just as cheap as the self proclaimed discount supermarket Bónus)

Expensive stuff includes but is not limited to; fresh meat and fish, most non basic fruit, fresh pastries, non factory bread, meat toppings, cheese, good yoghurt, most cereal, and more. Basically anything good and healthy. It’s gotten much worse in the past two years compared to the other Nordics because the icelandic aristocracy has taken a real liking to greedflation. All the fast food and restaurants are crazy expensive. Anywhere a tourist might go is also crazy expensive.

The less expensive foods might include: basic fruit like banana and some type of apples, factory made bread, cheaper types of biscuits, cheaper types of pasta and canned goods, cheaper types of yogurt. Some dried fruit and nuts. You should be ok with making sandwiches as someone else suggested.

Good luck, try not to get stuck here for too long 😅

I don’t think he is talking about importing it. 😅

You’re not allowed to for a bunch of stuff anyway.
