No culture is safe from nerds in Japan. Any song your people have or dish they make. Japanese autism will seize it and do it ten times better than your ancestors could’ve ever imagined.

It's time to remove laptops from classrooms. 24 experiments: Students learn more and get better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's not just because they're less distracted—writing enables deeper processing and more images. The pen is mightier than the keyboard.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

According to Pitchbook: • 22% are <1× • 36% are >2× • 18% are >3× • 6% are >5× • 2% are >10× 👉 Only about 6% reach 5×. 👉 A fund is ~4× more likely to lose money (under-1×) than to hit 5×.

In the U.S., we see similar trends of bureaucratic bloat and increased with little to show for it. It’s most noticeable in the data for the healthcare and education sectors, as well as government, where administrative costs have skyrocketed without any concurrent improvements…
