Covid created many new homeschooling families. The toothpaste is out of the tube. So many realize how awful this institution is, how tragically it fails kids, and how abundant the alternative options now are.

Most charity is fundamentally driven by hubris, by the belief that you know how capital should be allocated better than markets do. The vast majority of improvements to the human condition have come through profitable investment, not charity. The market is not a mind, but it is
This is the most jaw-dropping 4 minutes and 21 seconds you will watch this year. Nicole Shanahan — ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, former running mate of RFK Jr., and someone who personally signed nine-figure philanthropy checks — just went full whistleblower on the

This can't come soon enough for me. Under $1/mile and I could get rid of my car. They're talking about $0.30/mile as a possible low end cost, so it could happen.

6 1/2 hours of time and a half today. Not bad. Light traffic, but I did see three accident scenes. I can't wait until most cars are driving themselves - most humans shouldn't be behind the wheel, apparently.

Western 'progressives' are mostly idiots who refuse to understand very basic concepts. I'm tired of mincing my words and giving them the benefit of the doubt. Their stupidity is dangerous and it's increasingly putting people at risk.

Hey @EdgeWallet , (and @THORChain , @Maya_Protocol ), why can't I exchange BCH for @Dashpay in the wallet? Shouldn't that "just work"? It's also telling me I can't Doge->Dash either. "No enabled exchanges support..." but I have all DEXes enabled.

It is well over a year away, so we have time to come up with the funds, but we could use help if you can afford it. This is a school group package tour.

My son might get to travel on a package tour to Spain. I went 3 times back in the 80s and loved it. He's doing well in his Spanish classes, and this could be a heck of a trip for an almost 17 year old. https://t.co/eomPFTZSuV

I specialize in pseudo-historical Viking Age campaigns, letting the kids be viking heroes while learning mythology, history, geography, etc. I will be available Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I'd LOVE to be paid in crypto, but willingly accept fiat.

It's time to expand my teaching reach. If anyone knows of a learning resource center near Manchester that could use a D&D teacher for the Spring semester, let me know. I've been having great success at Latitude Learning for the last 3 years. https://t.co/9nHs7TBk4e

I had her as a student for a little while. Good kid. I wish I was in a position to donate myself, but I'm focusing on not needing help myself.
Marta’s family is facing tough times trying to afford a motorized wheelchair for her. This device could bring her much-needed relief from pain. Every donation helps, and sharing this message can make a difference. Let’s come together for Marta!

Andrej's post is important, as is the post it is responding to. It has never been easier to "do things", but you need to decide what to do and have the will to take action.
Agency > Intelligence I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are

If you aren't learning to use AI, you will eventually be replaced by someone who is. And it has never been easier to get rich.
800,000 layoffs in 2025. 10,000 in September alone tied to AI. Jobs are disappearing fast. But here’s the truth no one wants to say: It’s the start of a new gold rush... for those who learn how to build with the machines, not fight them.

Buying an asset and holding it isn't going to fix civilization. We actually need to BUILD parallel systems.

A libertarian believes in simple things: 1. Don’t hurt people. 2. Don’t take their stuff. And yes, that does make libertarians morally superior to non-libertarians. If you can’t agree that coercion should not be used to get your way, you are an uncivilized brute.

Accenture is cutting 11K jobs for workers who cannot retrain for AI... I've been telling everyone, AI won't replace you, but someone who uses it will. Get learning!

Hey @Apple where's the Knowledge Navigator? It's been almost 40 years and it sure looks like all the tech needed now exists. Just need to put it together. Don't wait until @xai makes it. https://t.co/vR1M5K73nL

This applies to crypto too. The space is full of good ideas with poor execution. Before investing in anything you should try using it. With crypto this is exceptionally easy to do. 1. Install Dash Pay. 2. Get $10 of Dash 3. Go to a Starbucks or a Home Depot and spend it.
With rare exception, ideas really are trivial compared to execution. For example, the idea of going to the Moon is simple, but ACTUALLY going to the Moon is staggeringly difficult.
