In this 2018 interview with John Anderson, @jordanbpeterson spoke through tears about a simple, haunting truth: how little encouragement some people need to turn their lives around and how rarely they receive it.
Following the recent update from @MikhailaFuller regarding Jordan’s health and his battle with akathisia and neurological injury, these words feel more poignant than ever. Jordan has spent years pouring encouragement into the lives of millions; now, we want to send that same strength back to him.
John and the entire team here are praying for our friend Jordan and the Peterson family during this incredibly difficult season. If you are people of prayer, we ask you to do the same.

Been reflecting on the story of Esau lately.
It’s easy to read it as a moment — a man trading his birthright for a meal. But it’s really about something far more confronting: what we choose when pressure hits.
How often do we trade what is lasting for what is immediate?
Comfort over discipline.
Relief over responsibility.
Impulse over inheritance.
That’s the real warning.
Not that we’re tempted — everyone is.
But that, over time, we might become the kind of person who consistently chooses the lesser thing.
Honouring the “birthright” in a modern sense isn’t abstract. It’s in the quiet decisions:
holding the line, thinking long-term, stewarding what we’ve been given properly.
It’s a sobering thought — but also a clarifying one.

You can travel to Italy, but you’ll never be an Italian.
You can travel to France but you’ll never be a Frenchman.
You can live in Germany but you’ll never be a German.
You can pack your bags and live the rest of your life in China or Japan, but you’ll never be Chinese or Japanese.
Yet you can come from any one of those countries to the United States of America, and you can still be an American – so long as you work hard, you play by the rules, you make your contributions, wait your turn, pledge allegiance to the flag, and obtain your citizenship.

On the 20-year anniversary of his announcement Australia was debt-free, former treasurer Peter Costello has urged the Albanese government to restrict its spending or risk making the future even harder for young Australians.

The warrior class is disintegrating worldwide.
It started with the defund the police movement in the U.S. No one wants to wear a badge anymore. Why would you? Do your job, get labeled a criminal.
Look at Daniel Penny, a man who stopped a threat and got rewarded with a prosecution.
Who protects the community after that? No one. And everyone knows it.
People remember unjust consequences. They adjust their behavior accordingly.
Now we're watching military heroes across the world get prosecuted for doing exactly what their country trained and ordered them to do, find the enemy and destroy them.
You think this ends well? I'll tell you how it ends, a draft, Forced service, a generation of "soldiers" more afraid of their own government than the enemy in front of them.
No one in their right mind is going to volunteer for that.

🚨#BREAKING: Father of 22-year-old Logan Federico is screaming at Democrats in Congress after his daughter was dragged from bed, forced on her knees, and executed...
...by a man arrested 39 TIMES with 25 FELONIES!!!
We need to hold judges & DAs responsible for releasing vicious murderers on innocent victims.
Everyone who let this demon walk freely, should be in prison.

Australians should benefit from what's beneath our feet. The resources powering our homes, fuelling our cars, creating jobs, and securing our future.
It's the envy of the world.
But under Labor? Tax it. Tie it in red tape. Make projects wait eight years for a decision.
The result: jobs gone, industries stalling, and critical energy projects stuck in limbo while your power and fuel bills keep climbing.
If we're not drilling, we're not prepared for moments like this, when global supply tightens, Australians pay the price.
Today the Coalition has laid out the plan to get Australia moving again - more resources, more exports, more jobs, more homes.
✅ Fix broken environmental approvals
✅ Fast-track nationally significant projects like oil and gas
✅ Boost incentives for early-stage exploration
✅ Scrap Labor's carbon tax (aka the Safeguard Mechanism)
Dig, drill, and pay down the debt bill. 🇦🇺

🚨 BREAKING:
MIT researchers just built a quantum sensor that can measure multiple properties at once.
That matters more than it sounds.
Most solid-state quantum sensors have to measure things one by one: magnetic field, temperature, strain, frequency, phase.
But reality doesn’t wait its turn.
MIT used entangled qubits inside a diamond defect to measure multiple signal properties in a single shot.
Read that again.
This means
Faster measurements
Less error from repeating experiments
Better sensing inside complex systems like materials and living cells
The wild part?
They did it at room temperature.
Not in some ultra-cold, impractical lab-only setup.
In a platform that could actually matter for real-world sensing.
Inside a tiny defect in diamond, quantum correlations were used to pull out:
amplitude
frequency detuning
phase
all from the same measurement.
That’s a big shift.
Because the future of quantum tech isn’t just quantum computers.
It’s quantum devices that can see more of reality at once.
So the real question is
When sensors stop measuring one thing at a time…
how much of the hidden structure of matter becomes visible?
Follow me for more physics breakthroughs that actually matter.

The injustice always struck me when it came to “Government support” there was always a limit.
Be it job seeker allowance, old age pensions, or disability allowance.
But when it came to “child support”, they will tax you as normal and force you to pay an allowance (tax free) to the OP. based on your gross income to “balance the households” because that wouldn’t turn children into a commodity at all.
