von Neumann gave us "zero-sum" in 1944 and it's one of my favorite examples of linguistic compression. Two words that mean âstrictly competitive, fixed pie, stop looking for win-wins.â The term's real gift: it reveals the default human assumption that life is chess and value

San Francisco is on pace for the fewest murders since 1942. The US murder and violent crime rates, broadly, are at or near 50 year lows. The media still sensationalize crime, to get your eyeballs and clicks.
