Planning for Life After Retirement: Beyond Money & Consumption Most of us are familiar with advertisements of the financial planners aimed at potential retirees. That last paycheck has to last a lifetime! The question becomes how much money do we need for the rest of our lives? What if we live to be ninety? or (God forbid!) a hundred?   The answer to those questions depends upon our habits of consumption.  Do we want to maintain our present lifestyle Do we want to move elsewhere? Or journey around the world? Consumption opportunities are endless, and so could be the amount of money needed to fulfill them. A gold mine for the investment industry!  This post aims to shift planning for life away from money and financial capital to broader notions of our investments in human, social, and cultural capital. Our most fulfilling leisure (non-work) time may be what we do to continue our accumulation of human, social, and cultural capital, not only for ourselves but others...

  Statista Streaming Takes Over the TV Screen by  Felix Richter, Feb 19, 2026 Over the past few years, streaming services have taken over a growing chunk of TV consumption in the United States. According to Nielsen’s The Gauge, a monthly report that measures what Americans watch on their actual TV screens, streaming’s rise has mostly come at the expense of broadcast and cable TV, which saw their share of TV screentime decline significantly. Back in December 2021, broadcast and cable accounted for 26 and 37 percent of TV viewing, respectively, while streaming accounted for 28 percent. By December 2025, the balance of power had shifted, and streaming reached its highest-ever share of television time at 48 percent, while broadcast and cable had dropped to 21 and 20 percent, respectively. The figures suggest that cable TV in particular is being replaced by streaming services, as many households that operate on a tight budget cut the cord and opt for more affordable and flexible st...

One of the foundations of Western European culture is leisure.  The Greek word for leisure  schole, is the origin of Latin scola, German Schule, English school. The name for the institutions of education and learning means "leisure". The original meaning of the concept of "leisure" has practically been forgotten in today's leisure-less culture of "total work." We must confront the contradiction that rises from our overemphasis on the world of work. "One does not only work in order to live, but one lives for the sake of one's work," quoted by Max Weber. Aristotle: the sober, industrious realist, says  "We are not at-leisure in order to be at leisure." For the Greeks, "not-leisure" was the word for the world of everyday work; and not only to indicate its "hustle and bustle," but the work itself. The Greek language had only this negative term for it as did Latin neg-otium "not-leisure." Aristotle's...
