Elon Musk just put the entire university system on trial. Not the curriculum. Not the professors. The premise. Musk: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free.” For a thousand years, universities held one monopoly. Access. You paid the toll or you stayed ignorant. The internet erased that in a decade. Every lecture. Every framework. Every textbook. Free. From any screen on Earth. The six-figure tuition is no longer buying knowledge. It is buying a signal. Musk: “There is a value that colleges have, which is seeing whether somebody can work hard at something, including a bunch of annoying homework assignments, and still do their homework assignments.” That is the product. Not intelligence. Not creativity. Not vision. Compliance. You are paying $200,000 to prove you can tolerate bureaucracy on a schedule. Musk: “Colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores. But they’re not for learning.” The entire system is a sorting machine for corporate HR. It does not measure what you can build. It measures whether you can sit still, follow directions, and deliver on command. Four years of obedience dressed as education. Musk: “If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability. I don’t consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability.” The system optimizes for average. It rewards the compliant. It certifies the patient. It quietly filters out everyone who refuses to wait for permission. The ones who reshaped the modern world never finished the test. Musk: “Gates is a pretty smart guy, he dropped out. Jobs is pretty smart, he dropped out. Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out.” They did not drop out because it was too hard. They dropped out because the speed limit was too low. The most dangerous thing a university does is convince a generational talent that finishing the syllabus is the achievement. It is not. It is the floor. A degree is a receipt for compliance. The future has never belonged to people who finish their homework. It belongs to the on

Life is so weird bro. People are literally working jobs they HATE. Every single day. For money. A man-made CONCEPT. We literally need money to pay to live, like what?? We have a chance at being alive, being sentient, being conscious. Yet we spend our time doing things we DON'T LIKE DOING. How does that make any sense? I can't wrap my head around it. What kind of society is this? Why can't we all just do what we want to do?

In life we understand that the more fragile a beauty, the more it calls for care and responsibility. This is the main meaning of my presence today in Acerra: to confirm and encourage the surge of dignity and responsibility that every honest heart feels when life sprouts and is immediately threatened by death. vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

If America doesn't have your full loyalty, you have no business serving in our government.

Don't kill our last remaining competitive advantage against China. “China can draw on a talent pool of 1.3 billion people, but the United States can draw on a talent pool of 7 billion and recombine them in a diverse culture that enhances creativity in a way that ethnic Han nationalism cannot.” —Lee Kuan Yew

@Keir_Starmer Arsenal to go through in the final. Dyomba-Mbablo with the brace

Football should bring people together, not shut them out. For the first time since the competition began, fans won’t be able to watch the Champions League final for free. That’s not right. This is bigger than wanting to watch Arsenal in this historic final. It’s bigger than one club. Hardworking people shouldn’t have to fork out for a subscription to watch this match. I urge TNT Sports to reconsider and make the final next Saturday free to watch.

Saddened by the loss of lives in a mining accident in Shanxi Province in China. On behalf of the people of India, my condolences to President Xi Jinping and the people of China. May the bereaved families find strength in this tragic hour. Praying for the early and safe recovery of all remaining missing persons.

It’s been a long time coming. Everyone hates the guy who calls it well before it happens. You’re hated before as being pessimistic. You’re hater afterwards because they’re mad it happened and you knew and they didn’t. We’re having another cycle of that. Hopefully the blast wave takes out most of the people who still don’t get it.

President Trump had choice: - Retire the Empire gracefully (stop the wars, close the foreign bases, and bring all the troops home) - Or give the Empire another puff of oxygen. He chose the latter, against the wishes of the American people. But this time Trump has poked a stick at the wrong hornet's nest, and is trapped. With every passing day, the costs escalate, and the American people feel increased economic pain. It's now well past the time to retire the Empire ... before there's nothing left to save. Watch @RonPaul & @ChrisRossini below:

We must distinguish between just governments: If the government is administered by many, it is given the name common to all forms of government, viz. polity, as for instance when a group of warriors exercise dominion over a city or province. If it is administered by a few men of virtue, this kind of government is called an aristocracy, i.e. noble governance, or governance by noble men. And if a just government is in the hands of one man alone, he is properly called a king.

St. Jerome says that the famous Theban, Crates, once a very wealthy man, when he was going to Athens to study philosophy, cast away a large amount of gold; for he considered that he could not possess both gold and virtue at the same time. Much more therefore is it according to right reason for a man to renounce all he has, in order perfectly to follow Christ.

An Irish Blessing w/ Aloha for our @DNIGabbard and her husband Abraham at this difficult time. E piʻi aʻe ke ala e hālāwai me ʻoe. E mau ka makani ma kou kua. E ʻālohilohi ka lā me ka pumehana ma kou maka, a e hāʻule mālie ka ua ma kou mau kīhāpai. A hiki i ka manawa e hālāwai hou ai kāua, E paʻa ʻoe i ke Akua ma ka poho lima o kona lima. Great work @TulsiGabbard Mahalo and Aloha 🏄🏽‍♂️ 🌊

I wish Tulsi Gabbard well and I hope her husband recovers from cancer. That being said, I reported months ago that @TulsiGabbard would be resigning soon and I was viciously attacked and smeared because the media refuses to treat me with respect and I am constantly ignored when my reporting is literally better than anyone’s. I am getting tired of it. The media needs to learn that my sourcing is accurate and I am much quicker than all of them.

If you ever feel behind in life, remember: Until his 60s, Kublai Khan, grandson of Chingiz Khan, failed to conquer Southern China. For 30 years, he prepared the largest navy in the world to finally defeat China by the age of 64 — that's right; the Mongols defeated the Chinese by boat, not horse, and it took three full generations of warfare! It’s never over. It’s never too late.

حين يبلغ الإنسان هذا المقام، لا يعود بحاجةٍ إلى رقيبٍ يُقوِّمه، ولا إلى قانونٍ يُهذِّبه؛ ففي داخله ميزانٌ لا يختل، وصوتٌ خفيٌّ إذا انحرفَ أيقظه. ذلك الحياءُ من النفس ليس ضعفًا، بل قمةُ الوعي… حيث يرى المرءُ عيوبه قبل أن يراها الناس، فيسترها بالإصلاح، لا بالإنكار.

Thank you, Tulsi, for your commitment to this country and your family. Tulsi should be credited with delivering on many previously withheld documents pertaining to MLK, RFK, JFK, and UAPs at the direction of POTUS, and her contributions to this country should not be overlooked. Our family will be praying for yours as you are going through this. She really did lead the charge on declassification, and this should not be overlooked. Thank you for your continued service to our nation. foxnews.com/politics/exclu…

Even with everything on his plate, President Trump @POTUS just called me to wish me a Happy Birthday from the Oval Office. 🇺🇸😊 I am always in awe of what a thoughtful person and kind man President Trump is. President Trump has called me on each of my birthdays for the last 3 years, just to show you what his character is like. He doesn’t get enough credit for being so thoughtful and compassionate. I’ll always be grateful for President Trump. The greatest President we have ever had who always takes time to think of others. Enjoy him while we have him, because there will never be another like him. Ever.

Hizballah is a terrorist organization and must be fully disarmed. Treasury will continue to take action against officials who have infiltrated the Lebanese government and are enabling Hizballah to wage its senseless campaign of violence against the Lebanese people and obstruct lasting peace.

On #HarveyMilkDay, we honor a trailblazing leader whose courage transformed San Francisco and changed our nation with his message of hope. Harvey’s fight for dignity and equality has inspired generations to speak out, stand proud and never stop believing in a more just America.
