You did not receive a real education. Today, we think of education as a litany of scattered disciplines that you study for careerism and social mobility. But a classical education was different. It taught you the seven liberal arts to liberate your soul... First, you learned the Trivium: • Grammar • Logic • Rhetoric Once you could think, speak, and articulate yourself clearly, you moved to the Quadrivium: • Arithmetic • Music • Geometry • Astronomy The Quadrivium is about training you to see order in reality itself. Nature has an intelligent design and you are connected to it: you belong in the cosmos. The difference with a true liberal arts education is not simply what you study, but *why* you study it. A classical liberal arts education taught you how to find God — the Transcendent Good was the end point of all education. Instead of a set of independent disciplines, education was a deeply interconnected moral pursuit, teaching you to be attuned with truth, beauty, and goodness. This interconnectedness is why the 7 liberal arts are presented as a wheel. And have you noticed that the symbol of the 7 liberal arts is strikingly similar to the rose windows of Gothic cathedrals? That's no coincidence. Rose windows symbolize Heaven, suggesting that reality itself is patterned after them — and this same circular pattern is the symbol of classical education in the liberal arts. The implication is that the liberal arts liberate your soul by forming you according to the pattern of Heaven itself. Education is preparation for eternity. athenaeumbooks.com/welcome This is from a longer essay published in our newsletter — join us!

Yesterday, Divers doing a routine maintenance check at the Converse Reservoir Dam in Mobile, AL discovered an underwater grenade type IED. The FBI bomb squad had to be called in to safely detonate it. The Reservoir and Dam are critical infrastructure, and this is being called “an unprecedented threat“ The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has been made aware of the situation.

if you are above the age of 40 and start taking 50-100mg bromantane daily, don't be surprised when you suddenly remember things you did not even know you had forgotten. childhood memories, names, events the amount of anecdotes i get on this is insane

$RKLB Today is a special day. My Rocket Lab position just delivered its biggest single-day gain ever — -$3 million in one day. It still hasn’t fully sunk in. Years ago, if someone had told me I’d ever see gains like this in a single day, I would’ve laughed at them. What a ride.

$RKLB Again, I'm not asking for much. Just the same post-earnings move we got in Q3 2024 (28.4%) pls? If we get that again, we're easily breaking into new ATHs and landing around $109/share.

we spent $2,352 promoting a health app on tiktok. here's what happened. most brands are paying $8 CPM for ads nobody watches. this app converted $0.09 per install instead. we scrapped the whole thing and ran it through Content Rewards with an Adaptive AI slideshow agent instead. 25,638 downloads. $6,635 MRR. 30 days without paid ads. what changed: before: -> paying creators flat fees with no guaranteed results -> creators posting inconsistent formats with no proven structure -> briefs going back and forth for days before a single post went live -> 15-20 slideshows a week if they were lucky after: -> brands drop the agent link in their Content Rewards campaign brief -> creators open it, type a topic, slideshow is ready in minutes -> 200+ creators posting the same proven format simultaneously -> 25,638 downloads in 30 days -> $6,635 MRR. $0.09 per install. 2.82x ROI on spend same $2,352 and a 16x-38x better revenue outcome than Meta. the agent writes the story. Void AI generates the slides. exports a PNG pack and MP4 ready to upload. comment "SLIDES" + RT and i'll send you the agent so you can run this for your next Content Rewards campaign (must be following so i can DM)

$RKLB Key for the Rocket Lab earnings call today is to get more schedule certainty on Neutron, hopefully more color on the Golden Dome opportunity and more info on the timing on space application opportunities. For the rest I think it will be a walk in the park. Will try to share my thoughts afterwards as well.

SideShift v2 hit $10K mrr the second day we launched it If I started a new consumer app and wanted it to hit 10k MRR as fast as humanely possible. I’d spam 100 TikToks a week until I see that magic number I would not waste my time with any other distribution channel
