To give you a sense of the immense and growing size of illegal immigration!

Since August, there are officially more arriving each month than there are children being born to American mothers. And these are just the official encounters -- we don't know how many avoided detection.

The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism:
Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?
The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.
Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again.
In short, they said:
It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews.
This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is:
“the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group”
The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership.
Don’t take my word for it.
You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am.
They must all resign in disgrace.
If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.
Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world?
Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context.
To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest.
On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing.
It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate.
If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.

I lost a dear friend, mentor and teacher yesterday. As a kid from Mumbai I never expected to have a friendship or with Charlie Munger! The students at Munger Hall paid tribute to Charlie yesterday. He made all of us better humans. Some great Mungerisms:

@theliverdoc @Mr_Incoggnito It’s amazing how much you go out of the way to demonise Ayurveda.
Would love to see your bank statements and understand which all Pharma companies pay you 🤣.
Start focusing on the liver and your work. Would serve humanity better 🙏🏻

Today is the 8th Ayurveda Day in India.
Here is a gentle reminder:
1. Ayurveda is a pseudoscience.
2. Ayurvedic practice is based on obsolete and primal theories of Vata, Pita and Kapha "imbalances" causing diseases.
3. Ayurvedic practitioners cannot diagnose, nor treat any disease condition known to humankind. If Ayurveda did work, then it meant that the disease was self limiting and would have improved even without Ayurveda.
4. Ayurveda uses a lot of herbal, mineral and metallic preparations in treatment, based on 2000 year old untested, faith-based practice written in a book that existed in the pre-scientific era.
PS: Ayurveda practitioners claim, that their "purification processes" makes metals less toxic, is utter nonsense. Their purification processes include boiling herbs and metals in milk and cow urine. That is hardly purification.
5. Ayurveda has a wellness component that can be used as an "experience" in medical tourism. However, such practices does nothing to health or disease conditions. Please come and enjoy the hospitality. Dont take anything internally.
6. Ayurveda practitioners study a pseudoscience for 5 years, spending lot of money and time. They ultimately deceive themselves first and then start deceiving patients to earn their bread and butter. They are in too deep and invested too much into this, so they will never speak against any negative aspects in Ayurveda even if they are shown facts.
7. Ayurvedic "medicines" are largely untested, unregulated and marketed on false claims and heavily promoted through advertisements. It has everything but scientific evidence in it.
8. Complementary and alternative medicine is now the largest cause for liver failure in those with pre-existing liver disease in Asia - [no] thanks to China and India.
9. Herbal supplements is the largest cause for increased rate of liver transplantation in the USA.
10. There is no approved, recommended or even remotely accepted traditional or proprietary Ayurvedic formulation or an Ayurvedic practice that features in any clinical disease management guideline or nutritional guideline in global medical literature, even after 2000 years of existence of Ayurveda and lakhs and crores of money spent on supposed "research"
"Ayurvedic treatments are like a box of chocolates. You will never know what you will get."
- if you are lucky, you will get benign herbs, if unlucky, you will exposed to dangerous toxic herbs and in the best-worst scenario, you will be feasting on arsenic and mercury like shown in this report below, of an approved Ayurvedic formulation, easily available in market and can be brought without a prescription. If you are an Ayurveda lover, enjoy tyhe wild ride.
Happy Ayurveda Day to you all.

[VIDEO] The Humane AI pin just launched for $699.
Is this pin going to be the new Apple iPhone?
Idk, but here are 3 big takeaways from the launch:
1. OpenAI/Microsoft will eventually become infra for all tech
Hard to beat them at this rate, they will become AWS for AI
2. AI is gonna make apps (as we know them) a lot less important
Screenless interfaces powered by AI will be connected to apps on the back end and bundled into a subscription service
My Humane subscription will come with Tidal and I will rarely/never need to interface with tidal again
Many consumer products will go from B2C -> B2B
3. Product design is going to look a lot different in 5-10 years
Maybe unrecognizable.
The bottom line is how we are interacting with these devices are changing.
This week we had the GPT store. Agents are the new apps.
Now we have AI pins.
The palm of your hand is your new screen.
Wild times.
