Introducing Concepts Before Words (Friction Example)

Nik — Sat, 02 May 2026 16:39:28 GMT

Created: friction-as-concept-before-word blog post (lost to Google)

New page

__NOTOC__

I read this — I think it was a blog post — about the correct way to introduce topics to children. The idea: introduce the ''concept'' first, then the ''word'' for it.

The example used was '''friction'''.

You tell the child: when you rub a piece of wood against another piece of wood and then let go, the top piece stops. Why doesn't it just keep sliding forever? Because there are tiny little bumps on the wood on top and tiny little bumps on the wood on the bottom, and they bump into each other. If you keep rubbing, those bumps even create heat. This is the same thing that happens when brakes stop a car.

''Now'' — after the child understands what's going on — you tell them: there's a word for this, and the word is '''friction'''.

The general principle: introduce the concept, ''then'' introduce the word. Not the other way around.

For the life of me, I cannot find this blog post anywhere.

How Norway created the oil fund

			== Why doesn't Canada have one? ==

			Canada is one of the world's largest oil producers, yet for decades it had no national equivalent of Norway's Government Pension Fund Global. The reasons are part constitutional, part political.

			=== Constitutional split: provinces own the resources ===

			Under Canada's constitution, natural resources are owned and managed by the provinces, not the federal government. Oil sits mostly under Alberta and Saskatchewan; potash under Saskatchewan; hydro under Quebec, Manitoba, and BC. There is no clean mechanism for Ottawa to pool resource royalties the way a unitary state like Norway can. Any attempt by the federal government to capture a share of those revenues has historically been treated by producing provinces as a raid on their constitutional jurisdiction.

			=== Alberta tried — and stopped contributing ===

			The closest Canadian analogue is the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberta_Heritage_Savings_Trust_Fund Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund], created in 1976 by Progressive Conservative Premier '''Peter Lougheed'''. Lougheed dedicated 30% of non-renewable resource revenue to the fund with three goals: save for the future, diversify the economy, and improve quality of life for Albertans. Norway studied Lougheed's model when designing its own fund 14 years later.

			The two funds then diverged sharply:

			* '''Norway''' enshrined the rule that ~96% of oil revenues flow into the fund, kept it at arm's length from politicians, and invests it entirely outside Norway to avoid overheating the domestic economy.
			* '''Alberta''' stopped making regular contributions within a decade, when oil prices collapsed in the mid-1980s and budget deficits grew. Subsequent governments treated the fund as a rainy-day account and used its earnings for general spending.

			The result: Norway's fund is worth over CAD $2.4 trillion. Alberta's sits around $25 billion. University of Calgary economist Trevor Tombe estimated in 2020 that, managed Norway-style, Alberta's fund would be worth roughly $575 billion today.

			Saskatchewan tried something similar in 1978 but wound the fund down in 1992 after it became a pass-through for general spending.

			=== Federal politicians who pushed for a national fund ===

			* '''Pierre Elliott Trudeau (Liberal, PM 1968–79, 1980–84)''' — The [https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/national-energy-program National Energy Program] (NEP) of 1980 was the most aggressive federal attempt to capture a share of oil wealth for national purposes. It set domestic price controls below world prices, taxed oil exports, and aimed to redistribute revenue from producing provinces to the federal treasury and consumers. The NEP was not a sovereign wealth fund — its goal was current-account redistribution and Canadianization of the industry — but it was the last serious federal claim on oil revenues. It was deeply unpopular in Alberta, blamed (rightly or wrongly) for accelerating the early-1980s downturn there, repealed by Brian Mulroney in 1985, and politically toxic for any successor proposal for a generation.
			* '''Peter Lougheed (PC, Alberta Premier 1971–85)''' — In his later years Lougheed publicly regretted that Alberta had not stuck with disciplined contributions and openly admired what Norway had done with his original idea. He became one of the loudest voices arguing Alberta had squandered the opportunity.
			* '''Mark Carney (Liberal, PM 2025– )''' — On April 27, 2026, Carney announced the '''Canada Strong Fund''', described as Canada's first national sovereign wealth fund, with an initial $25 billion federal commitment to invest alongside private capital in energy, critical minerals, infrastructure, and agriculture. Critics note it is structurally different from Norway's fund: it is seeded with borrowed money rather than resource royalties, and is closer to a co-investment / nation-building vehicle than a savings fund for future generations.

			=== Why it didn't happen sooner ===

			Three barriers, in roughly the order they bite:

			# '''Jurisdiction.''' Ottawa can't unilaterally levy a Norway-style royalty take on provincial resources without a fight.
			# '''Political memory of the NEP.''' Any federal claim on Western oil revenue is read in Alberta as NEP 2.0, which has made the idea radioactive for federal leaders of every party for 40 years.
			# '''Discipline.''' Even where the political will exists (Alberta in 1976, Saskatchewan in 1978), the harder problem is committing to deposits when oil prices are high and the pressure to cut taxes or spend the windfall is loudest. Norway's edge was institutional: the rule that the fund gets the money first, and the government only spends a capped 3% real return.

How Norway created the oil fund

Interesting reel from CuriOddity.

<blockquote>
How This Country Owns 1.5% of All the Publicly Traded Companies in the World
In 1969, a massive discovery in the North Sea changed Norway forever. While most nations would have spent their newfound natural resources on short-term gains, Norway chose a different path—one that turned them into an economic miracle.
By creating the Government Pension Fund Global, commonly known as the Oil Fund, Norway transformed volatile oil profits into a massive sovereign wealth fund. Today, this investment strategy has allowed a small nation to own roughly 1.5% of all publicly traded companies on the planet, including giants like Apple and Microsoft.
In this video, we dive into:
The discovery of the Ekofisk oil field on Christmas Eve.
How Norway avoided the "resource curse" through strict financial discipline.
The transition from oil-based income to a self-sustaining economy driven by global stocks and asset management.
The power of compound interest and why thinking of future generations created a $2 trillion safety net.
Norway’s journey is a masterclass in sustainability and national wealth. They didn't just find a commodity; they built a machine that generates passive income by owning a piece of the global economy. It’s a story of politicians who planted trees whose shade they would never sit under, proving that long-term thinking is the ultimate competitive advantage.

			==HeyGen goes open source: HyperFrames==

			In April 2026, HeyGen released '''HyperFrames''', an open-source, HTML-first video rendering framework. The tagline: ''"Write HTML. Render video. Built for agents."''

			Rather than requiring a proprietary DSL or a React-based composition layer (as competing tools like Remotion do), HyperFrames lets you author video compositions as plain HTML files with data attributes, styled with CSS and animated with GSAP. Compositions are previewed in a regular browser, then rendered to MP4 via headless Chrome capture paired with FFmpeg encoding for deterministic output.

			The HTML-first design is explicitly aimed at AI agents, which already understand HTML natively and can generate compositions without having to learn a custom syntax.

			HyperFrames is licensed under '''Apache 2.0''' — commercial use is permitted at any scale, with no per-render fees, seat caps, or company-size thresholds.
