I've always found the Milgram Shock Experiment to be enlightening and ugly in it's conclusion into the human condition. An underlying Machiavellian guidebook to force or recognize obedience structures. The original experiment comes to the following conclusion: Put an individual into a position where a figure of authority directs an individual to pull a trigger, and ~65% of individuals will kill a motherfucker (perhaps feel guilty about it later). It's important that folks understand these experiments were first conducted to try and understand how many German's could just follow orders through out the Holocaust. What's as interesting as the original experiment is the permutations of the experiment that determined the variables that increased and decreased compliance to obedience. Prominence of location (Hospital), Uniform (Doctor's lab coat or nurse uniform), Social Support Conditions (Dissenters punished/encouraged), Two Teacher Condition (proximity to personal responsibility, like say something is mandated). Understanding these set of experiments can help you both institute obedience OR recognize when obedience "structures" are being used. Which may help you better understand the world. Well worth your time to read more into these experiments.

If your a fence sitter on AB leaving Canada - you can understand the importance of having more negotiating power with Canada. Which this referendum provides as it's a vote to vote on a referendum. Give Danielle Smith the power to get us Transfer Payments like Quebec got.

@HyperbolicDisco @EconstratPB what's the best way to achieve getting shorter in your opinion?

@EconstratPB You’re not short enough.

We’re short Europe.

@ShaleTier7 😆

when you think about it, the US is really only 0.12x LTV so not bad leverage

@ShaleTier7 @kells940 Mission accomplished

@aberzimbabwe @ubbergenius Yep. Feds shut it down in the last hour. I saved the spreadsheet. Why would anyone want to hide $342 Million in transfers to the one FN with 172 residents that is continually engaging in anti-Alberta and anti-development court challenges?

@oroborous An oil shortage devalues your currency unless you're an oil exporter. Too keep up the value of the currency your yields have to rise. They're increasing in the US because oil importers have to sell treasuries to raise dollars so as to not devalue their own currencies more.

My kids are still young (3 years, 4 months), but I’ve been thinking about this a ton. I’m leaning toward a quasi‑Option B. The caveat is I’m not chasing exclusive private‑school pedigree so much as tutoring‑like effects and true mastery learning. Run an AI on Bloom’s 2‑sigma problem and, even if it doesn’t get you the full 2 sigma, it’s still a significant, measurable effect. Ideally, I’d be looking for a school like @AlphaSchoolATX. I worry that schools which aren’t explicitly designed around AI‑driven tutoring and mastery will fall behind those that are. The inertia in public systems is bad enough, and traditional private schools might be even slower to adapt.

Could it be!

One cold season and this program is over.

A strong Canada that prioritizes hard power over rhetoric benefits us all. Unfortunately, Canada has failed to make credible progress on its defense commitments. DoW is pausing the Permanent Joint Board on Defense to reassess how this forum benefits shared North American defense. 1/3

dear @Google Wtf is this

@rockcreekfreak @NuggetCapital

@NuggetCapital I have never seen oil stocks cheaper in my life. This is a once in a lifetime generational opportunity

Actually I don't doubt at all oil can keep going up. It's a crap shoot bet at this point. The question is do you want to join 'the party' that everybody is talking about. I don't think that's wise, at least not for me. It can unwind fast. Global economy is going to get hammered.

This tweet, with its extreme claims, caught my attention because Elon Musk reposted it. I asked Gemini if any of these claims are accurate. It assured me that they are not. I then asked Grok, which replied that the first four are in fact accurate, and it provided details and sources supporting its response. So, I went back to Gemini, copied and pasted Grok's reply into a prompt, and asked Gemini what it thought about what Grok had just told me. Here's Gemini's response: "I stand corrected... I apologize for my previous response. I attempted to separate fact from social media exaggeration but failed to properly verify the depth of the horrific testimonies from the actual trials like Operation Bullfinch and the Rotherham inquiries. The details you cited from Grok accurately reflect the devastating and brutal reality of what these victims endured."

🚨BREAKING: Mark Carney announces Canada’s first net-zero pipeline. It emits no carbon because it will never exist.

The Grand Ransom™️has now been signed: a reduced & deferred carbon tax to $140/t by 2040, and the promise of a new pipeline that "is tied to Pathways", a $30BN project that is irrelevant and enormously expensive. No other country in the world is doing this to themselves, just 🇨🇦.
