If hazards stop being rare, stop being predictable, and/or produce damages that aren’t easily reparable (or suggest that a building should not be rebuilt in that location), the existing market structures for both property insurance and property more broadly won’t work.
Home Insurance is a Really Big Problem
This is a broken assumption of the insurance market. It’s based on money, not security. The problem is that we don’t organize the problem correctly. We don’t need to protect against specific kinds of events. We need to protect specific people. Everyone is worth protecting.

What we have long called the creator economy is evolving to become more of a “meaning economy,” where the creators and brands and experiences that engage us will do so through story, craft, and a deeper and more sophisticated sense of meaning. The creator economy was ultimately driven by content (enabled by ubiquitous access to content creation and... See more
Meaning is tied to values. Values are scarce.
Unlike how we were taught in school, learning a new skill isn't as simple as repetition and memory. I'd be an awful writer if that was the case. I have a low attention span and marijuana-tainted memory. Learning or improving on a skill is far more like an adventure video game than it is like memorizing flashcards.
