@MiltonFriedmanW The argument for Libertarian policies is so simple it's elegant.

Milton Friedman: “Why should you be able to tell John and Jane that they have to be proficient in a foreign language?” “Maybe they’d rather be proficient in music, mathematics, or something else. It’s just a demonstration of your willingness to replace their judgement by yours.”

@TheCinesthetic She's had a great career in the Dark Arts 👏 And she's always on lifts LoL

Fringe (2008–2013) is right up there with the best sci-fi shows, never talked about enough, and it just kept getting better with each season.

Australian man lays out how we are screwed because of woke incompetent retards. One of the most hilarious and Aussie interviews you'll hear.

@amazingmap Cool

This map claims to be the most accurate map of the world Created by Japanese architect Hajime Narukawa, the AuthaGraph projection preserves the true relative size of landmasses far better than traditional maps

@SandyHorne61 We'll keep those photos coming! Great work

@GerardOrnell Oh, I dunno. I don't really care about "great things". I'm just happy to keep doing what I'm doing. Success in competitions is just a bit of fun on the side, really 😀

I got the rejection email today. I didn't have any luck with the Australian Geographic photo comp this year. No need for sympathy. I'm used to it. It's very competitive. Here's one of my unsuccessful entries. A yellow-tailed rock wallaby at Boolcoomatta Reserve.

@nikitabier It just went universal and "democratic". Thus 👇

The Internet was a mistake

@simongerman600 When you use "poor" as an adjective to describe a producer, no one should listen to what you have to say.

Forbes is putting Musk’s wealth into perspective in a rather crazy way.

@newstart_2024 He didn't care to such an extent that he thought this prize was for being "Noble", and not named after somebody 😂😂 Just as his book was titled after an MIT story when British lady asked him if he wanted milk or honey in his tea, and he said "both please" 😂 😂 😂

Richard Feynman didn’t just revolutionize physics; he diagnosed the fundamental sickness of modern status-seeking. To Feynman, the Nobel Prize was a "pain in the neck." While the world fixates on the external validation of the Swedish Academy, he viewed the "honors" as fundamentally unreal—a distraction from the only metric that actually matters in high-level pursuit. His philosophy provides a masterclass in intellectual autonomy: 1. The Kick of Discovery: The "prize" is the moment of insight, not the medal. If the work itself isn’t the reward, the accolade is a hollow substitute. 2. The Utility Filter: Real prestige isn't a title; it’s the observation that other brilliant people are actually using your work to build the future. 3. The Institutional Trap: He resigned from the National Academy of Science because it devolved into a "who's who" club. When an organization spends more time gatekeeping than innovating, it’s dead. We live in an era of "profile-first" achievement where the badge often precedes the breakthrough. Feynman reminds us that true "nobility" in work isn't decided by a committee—it’s found in the pleasure of finding the thing out. Validation is a lagging indicator. Focus on the kick. In a world obsessed with digital badges and titles, what is the one "kick of discovery" in your own work that no trophy could ever replace?

@venturetwins @grok is there public information about the demographic of the Jury?

I don't want to be an asshole here, but I'm worried we're losing the concept of personal responsibility

@sfliberty 😂😂

@cremieuxrecueil Hate to be that guy, but New Zealand does not have Economic freedom, unless we define economic freedom as the ease at which one can buy a ticket to another Commonwealth nation and work there for a better pay.

Capitalism creates prosperity

Where is our consciousness located?

😼🐍 Dans cette séquence, trois jeunes chats des sables apparaissent à l’entrée de leur terrier, en plein milieu d’un environnement désertique. Un serpent à sonnette surgit et s’approche dangereusement. L’attaque est rapide : l’un des petits est touché et meurt... Les deux autres tentent alors de faire face, malgré leur taille et leur vulnérabilité, en attendant l’intervention de leur mère. Quelques instants plus tard, celle-ci arrive et engage un combat avec le serpent, qu’elle parvient finalement à repousser. Vous y avez cru vous aussi ?
