The World’s 169th richest person says that if you kinda get what the Nazis were going for, you’ll be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams

Theobald Winthrop Morgenthal is a dreamer. The sole heir to his grandfather’s hominid ivory fortune, he could have retired at 30 and lived an unreasonably comfortable life. But that wouldn’t have been Morgenthal. It’s a breezy Monday in Manhattan’s upper west side when I arrive at Morgenthal’s workweek pied-à-terre. After…

I had to work my ass off to survive in America so you should too

If you’re a genetically-modified corporate freak like me, you scour the internet every day for posts tagged “quiet quitting” and pump them directly into your bloodstream so you can start…

Keeping Up With the Chagossians

In 1960, somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 people lived in the Chagos Islands. Today, none of them do. Instead, the islands play host to a premiere United States military base and not much else. The people, and their native culture, are gone. It was the construction of the U.S. base…
