I think high performance in life comes down to three things: First of all, you have to know you are safe. Doesn’t mean you won’t ever get hurt. We all deal with pain (although I prefer to choose my own). It just means you know you can come back and do it again anyway. Then, you have to know your system cold and have practiced it until it feels completely natural. We look at athletes doing amazing things while running, jumping and throwing things. They make it look effortless because they know the plays and they have run them 10,000 times in practices. Third, in all instances apply Reason to your process. If you start to stumble, return to Logic. If you are running plays that you have already integrated, most of the time you will be using Deduction; the rapid fire connection between the concepts you have already induced and, ultimately, physical reality. Fortunately, deduction is elementary, my Dear Watson. Most of getting to a high level of anything—and particularly in the individual sport of market operations—requires Induction, though. Pity those 90% of Americans who will never hear that word spoken in the context of the use of one’s mind. Because we can memorize a lot of stuff. But we can’t memorize everything. Without the ability to form new concepts independently and effectively integrate them across your experiences, you can’t get there from anywhere.

Well, it’s unfortunate that any president is the greatest threat because government has way too much power. But do you really think No Kings is working towards the solution, which is limiting government the way the Founders envisioned? Clearly they want the opposite. They want total control of society by nihilists like themselves.

@FuturesPicks I WORKED for the GOP professionally for years. I gave up a career in the White House to oppose Trump. I don't care about "social risk". I paid the cost, and I paid it proud. Trump is the single greatest threat to America and he has been for a decade.

Texas teachers, this is who is speaking for you. It’s time to take back your voice from radical groups that do not reflect your values and have high jacked your profession for their own political agenda. Next session, I will be filing pro-teacher bills that aim to restore the joy of teaching. #TakeASeatTSTA
Mayes Middleton@mayes_middleton

Outrageous that Texas State Teachers Association promoted the woke George Soros-funded anti-Trump "No Kings" rally. This is the same TSTA that lobbied for boys in girls’ sports. On day 1 as AG, I will investigate Soros' orgs and then sue to dissolve them.

Then you should condemn the No Kings crowd at least as clearly S you do Trump. I don’t think you will because of the social risk it carries for you. But you *ought to. Ayn Rand wrote an essay when Nixon was running called “Anti-Nixonites for Nixon.” I encourage you to read it. You could also look up Leonard Peikoff’s (AR’s intellectual heir) more recent “Anti-Trumpites for Trump” which mirrors the original.

@FuturesPicks I love Western Civilization. Western Civilization gave us stoicism, pluralism the modern academy, democracy, the printing press, the modern hospital system, the concept of civil and national rights, etc. That's why I know Trump actively hates what makes Western Civilization Great

Well, you could give me any opinion. My teachers all had very strong opinions about me. A few of them absolutely loved me. Most of them despised me. I mean, we are talking about a 12 year old child here that was able to evince plain hatred from “teachers” simply because I wanted to actually understand what I was learning.

I don’t like Trump. But I definitely don’t like a bunch of nihilists bent on destroying Western Civilization holding sway over government and, especially, education since the 1960s. I’m also distinctly not worried about it. People can clearly see what’s going on with all y’all now and it’s over for you. What I am looking forward to as Rational opposition being able to be heard once the Left is gutted.

Yeah. Huh. Why do you think that? I think they will be infinitely patient. My teachers never were with me. Especially in math. They wanted me to memorize the formulas and regurgitate them onto tests. I wanted to understand *why those formulas mattered and what they actually represented in reality. Didn’t go well. I am particularly interested in revisiting my mathematic studies with an Optimus teacher.

Courage and ambition like this makes me proud to be an American. Artemis II will take our astronauts around the Moon for the first time since 1972, and farther into deep space than humanity has ever been before. Praying for the safe return of the crew and success of the mission. Credit @tony873004 for the flight path simulation.

The countdown begins. Teams at @NASAKennedy have arrived to their stations at the Launch Control Center. We are about 48 hours from the launch of the Artemis II mission around the Moon. go.nasa.gov/4bHcwzx

@davidpattersonx I think the main thing that has happened in this first quarter is people getting their minds around how fast it is happening. I see people coming to grips with the idea that things they were expecting in maybe 5-10 year are going to be happening over the next to three to four.

🚨 Marc Andreessen Says the AI Layoffs Hype is ‘100% Incorrect’ “Essentially every large company is overstaffed. We could debate how much but it's at least by 25% … And now they all have the silver bullet excuse — it's AI. I know this for a fact because I talk to them.”

@MeganWa77271224 Which makes you a useful idiot at best and nothing special in the world of “education.” Luckily, we have ESAs spreading across the US and Optimus robots coming. Also, to answer your question question: @grok what is a useful idiot in the context of politics?

Yeah. I wish they had been a little more organized. But Tea Party people had jobs. No Kings is clearly being financed by a few people that are expressly anti-American and anti-Western Civilization. The best thing about them is they are so clearly astroturf that everybody that isn’t willfully ignorant about it can clearly make the connections

That is good. That is a rational take. Just what I would expect from a man of science such as yourself. As far as @ElonMuskAOC predictions go, and the timeline he is expecting them to occur—the latter being the most confounding thing, I think—they are quite falsifiable. If things aren’t obviously accelerating in that direction in the next 18 months, we will know the timeline is closer to five to 10 years. But I do think it’s coming.

Elon Musk just told the world to stop training surgeons. Not slow down. Stop. Musk: “There’ll probably be more Optimus robots that are great surgeons than there are all surgeons on Earth.” The entire global surgical workforce. Redundant. Before a current med student finishes residency. “Don’t go to medical school?” Musk: “Yes. Pointless.” Twelve years. Half a million dollars. One word. Optimus does not shake. Does not fatigue. Does not flinch at hour eleven of a twelve-hour operation. It improves every night while the surgeon sleeps. By year four, Musk says he’d stake everything on it. By year five, it is not close. Then came the line that rewrites who medicine has ever belonged to. Musk: “Everyone will have access to medical care that is better than what the president receives right now.” Medicine has always been rationed by wealth. The best surgeons on Earth have always belonged to the powerful. That ends. Completely. Within five years. The machine does not calibrate its precision to your net worth. It does not save its best work for the wealthy. Full capacity, every time, for everyone. One day, choosing a human surgeon over a robot will feel like refusing the anesthesia. Human hands are no longer medicine’s highest standard. The ones who doubted this will understand it the day they need surgery, not a surgeon.

Yes, the regulatory state (aka the Deep State because it is so embedded) is a massive problem. It is the biggest single problem which arises from the general evil of our of control government. Anybody with half a brain can see that, including Trump. Of course, he isn’t actually doing anything about it. Probably because he and his buddies have the power to get around regulators and don’t want the competition.

𝐏𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐄𝐋 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐒 𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐎𝐍 𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐘 𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒𝐍’𝐓 𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐌𝐏 — 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓’𝐒 𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐀’𝐒 𝐁𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐋𝐄𝐌 Peter Thiel laid out the most important economic divide in America — and it’s not left vs. right. It’s 𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐯𝐬. 𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬. “𝘚𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘰𝘯 𝘝𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘺 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘴 — 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘵, 𝘮𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘦, 𝘴𝘰𝘧𝘵𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦. 𝘔𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘴 — 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴.

If you’re in bits, you don’t worry about government. If you’re in atoms, government is the 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐥𝐞 to everything you do. Thiel went further: “𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘯 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘵 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 1980𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘺. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘢𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴.

America — the country that built the interstate highway system, the nuclear arsenal, the Apollo program — made it 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 to study engineering in anything that involves building physical things. The only “safe” technical career was writing code. That’s not Silicon Valley’s blind spot. That’s 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭’𝐬 𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐭 — a regulatory apparatus so suffocating that it drove an entire generation of talent away from atoms and into bits. Trump understands this because he builds buildings. Most of Silicon Valley doesn’t because they’ve never had to pull a permit. 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐭. 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐩 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐭.

As someone with deep respect for surgeons, I think you’re wrong. The reason being, no matter how much experience a single practitioner has, they can’t compete with the combined experience of millions of robots. What I mean by that is, humans share information very slowly compared to computers. Driving is a good example. A human driver might have 10,000 hours of driving time and experience and be an expert. But every self-driving Tesla is currently sharing every experience of every hour on the road with every other Tesla. That quickly becomes billions of hours. I think the same thing is going to happen with medicine and I think that’s a great advancement. Again, with all respect to medical professionals, here is my question to you: If it turns out that robotic surgeons are clearly better than their human forebears, will you support the transition? If that is why is best for humanity?

Not only is this woman saying private donations should be discouraged because it will help people afford private schools; she tacitly admits it would lead to better educational outcomes, necessarily increasing the gap between the ”haves and have-nots.” Because the “haves” have a better education. This person is so committed to her shitty rule book she is willing to actively hurt children to follow it. She wants to stick with the status quo no matter what. She is perfectly willing to go down with the ship of government schools, and demand 10s of millions of children go with her.
Alpha News@AlphaNews

WATCH: A Minnesota teacher testifies against a bill that would incentivize donations to private and public schools In a stunning moment, she says the bill should be rejected because "donations to private schools would decrease tuition, making private school more affordable to more middle-class families, decreasing enrollment at public schools, further defunding them."
