The schools are NOT "failing" your kids. The schools are doing exactly what they're meant for, and very well. Normal people presume that the schools are designed to educate your kids. That's not how the communist sees them. The school is how they kidnap your child. The socialist is like a pedophile...they like to prey on kids and groom them.
Communists have slowly infiltrated every single layer of institutional education and perverted it to feed their dogma into the soft heads of your vulnerable children.
This isn't some abstract paranoia...this was a deliberate soviet socialist strategy going back decades. It is called the "long march through the institutions". After several generations of teachers educating kids with increasingly communist ideology, with zero patriotic influence to balance it out, you eventually get to a point (usually 2-3 generations), where EVERY American institution is saturated with communists...government, entertainment, businesses (hello, Nike)...now, no matter where you turn, your child is now influenced ENTIRELY by the ideology of your enemy. Who's pushing back on this?
The Denver Communists out in full force indoctrinating kids and telling them that Capitalism is responsible for killing millions of people. Parents educate your children because public schools in Denver are failing them. And people wonder why homeschooling is up 50% in some counties and why parents are putting their children in charter schools and private schools. Public schools are closing everywhere because of lack of students!!!!

This parasite, @BernieSanders, has scammed the American taxpayers for many decades. He knows nothing; contributes nothing; achieves nothing; says nothing; BUT he believes that you owe him your hard-earned money because it is unfair that @elonmusk has more money than you do.

Milton Friedman on 4 ways to spend money:
1) Your money on yourself (you’re careful about both cost and quality)
2) Your money on others (you care about cost, less about quality)
3) Someone else’s money on yourself (you care about quality, not cost)
4) Someone else’s money on others (you care about neither)
The last one is how government spending works.

We think of this evil as Marxism. In reality, Marxism is nothing more or less than the current instantiation of a much more ancient evil: possession by the envious and hateful spirit that drove Cain to murder his brother Abel.
The great book of Genesis thus portrays mankind as riven by an eternal fratricidal conflict.
Those who reject genuine sacrifice become embittered by their subsequent failure ("rejection by God").
Instead of repenting and changing, they turn to revenge.
And who do they target? Those who strive to do well and offer what is best.
I can't believe how much wisdom the author of Genesis 4 compressed into that story's few sentences. You might even come to believe that God Himself had a hand in it.
Truly: it's uncanny. The first two human beings born into history are, respectively, a good, honest productive man and his brother, who allows himself to be consumed by resentment and the desire to destroy.
Communism, in a nutshell.

Last night, I read the entirety of C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. It's a novel told in the form of letters written by a demon to another demon instructing him on ways to manipulate his "patient" to do evil.
This one quote sounded familiar.

Even though I knew his death was coming, as he told us it would, I still can’t believe he has died.
Rest in peace, good and great man, rest in peace.

One of my favorite lessons I’ve learnt from working with smart people:
Action produces information. If you’re unsure of what to do, just do anything, even if it’s the wrong thing. This will give you information about what you should actually be doing.
Sounds simple on the surface - the hard part is making it part of your every day working process.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp on Zohran Mandani:
“The average Ivy League grad voting for this mayor is annoyed their education is not that valuable, and that the person who knows how to drill for oil has a more valuable profession”
“I think that annoys the fuck out of these people”

"My first instinct was exactly what such people would delight in happening. To watch the rest of us recoil, then retract, and perhaps even eject. To leave the internet for a while or forever. But I can't do that. We shouldn't do that." world.hey.com/dhh/words-are-…

Atoms jiggle into catastrophe.
I just can’t stop loving how Feynman explains it.

I’ve started joining every Google Meet 30 seconds early.
When you join early, everyone’s virtual note takers join early too.
I spend the first few seconds screaming about how I’m on the Titanic, we’ve just hit an iceberg, the end is near, and I need immediate assistance.
I then do the rest of the meeting normally.
When the meeting ends, everyone gets an emailed transcript where the AI summary is:
“Chris hit an iceberg, is trapped on a sinking ship, and general Q2 pricing updates”
