The day I realized I was spending more time going to conferences to learn how to be Medicare compliant than I was spending on how to be a better surgeon was the day I started planning my clinical retirement. That was 11 years ago. Regulating doctors kills patients.

Wild how positions Democrats held for decades are now called “far right”. That says a lot less about centrists and a lot more about how far the progressive movement has drifted.

This is the best argument for a real free market. Nothing democratizes an economy more than people choosing where their dollars go, instead of politicians deciding who gets what.

This is the direction we should be moving. Empower people, increase choice, remove barriers. The more freedom consumers have, the more affordable healthcare becomes.

Smart. Start when the idea sparks, not when the calendar tells you to.

Teachers can change everything by helping students lean into productive struggle. Not overwhelm, not frustration, but the kind of challenge that builds confidence, ownership, and real learning. Kids don’t just learn answers. They learn how to learn.

Happiness is often closer than we think. If we’re always waiting for the next corner to save us, we miss what’s already good. Shift the focus and life feels different.

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best.

The brain treats anticipating math like danger, activating pain circuits. But when doing the math, those circuits turn off because the brain switches to thinking instead of worrying. This explains so much with my SPED students.

We already know how to combat most chronic disease. We do not need more money or research. We need to apply what we already know: better food, better movement, better sleep, and fewer harmful habits.

Kids can't read, so states are passing phonics laws. But education professor @axe_andrew isn't happy. "YOU don't want the government involved in stuff, right? So why are they getting involved in reading instruction!" "Because you people screwed it up!" I tell him. The debate:

Crypto is a confidence-only asset. Systems built on pure belief always face the same end. At some point trust breaks, liquidity evaporates, and the structure collapses. It may be years or decades, but such markets do not last forever. That is the historical pattern. Buyer beware.

Trust works best when decisions stay closest to the people. The farther wealth moves from the people who earned it, the more gets lost to administration and inefficiency.

Computers do not teach. Teachers teach. Learning comes from instruction, not hardware.

Tragic. 🙄 Guess we will all have to discover the ancient art of brewing coffee at home.

Why take the money from people just to send it back? The most efficient system is simple: let families keep more of it in the first place.

Sure, raise prices with tariffs, then try to fix it by handing out money. That is not a solution. That is an inflation loop.

It really does come down to who we trust to distribute (redistribute) wealth. Do we trust the government or the people?

Federal mismanagement has failed. Keep DC out of it.

When government expands in healthcare, costs rise and access shrinks. That pattern has not changed. The fix is simple: let patients and doctors lead again.

Kindness costs nothing and makes everyone better off. Let’s choose it more often.
