Favorite high school teacher:

Gather around, children, and I’ll tell you about when we just reused the air without cleaning it first, like a previous age used to reuse water without cleaning it first, and how many people used to die of this, and how now we have lamps.

I once taught a class that spent a whole semester going through Euclid, slowly, deep into the guts of the proofs. Years later a former student came back. He'd majored in math at the Naval Academy. He told me that one semester of Euclid, he learned more math than in every other math course he'd ever taken in his life.

What happens when you treat students like future colleagues instead of kids to manage? This one became their mentor's teaching apprentice after years of real, patient investment in their growth. Watch how that kind of trust actually pays off:

There's just 2 startups in me And I just launched the 3rd... youtu.be/UVXZBA6tJPA?is…

@SenWarren Because day care is over regulated, state regulations run hundreds of stupid pages, making it expensive to start and run a business Here's one of my favorite regulations out of Seattle: "Day Care must offer cultural diverse food menu"

@VincentGeloso Wanna leak that graph?

All the stuff about Zucman, Piketty et al. makes me scream that I didnt finish my book earlier. It is, without making it about them or their work, a strong alternative. Its a simple pitch: markets are egalitarian forces that improve living standards really fast. Markets minimize the need for the state to do things, complement some of its (the state) good things, and can offset some of the bad things it does. The proof is the extended gilded age (gilded age + progressive era) when the top 10% got richer nearly 1.2 percentage points slower per year than bottom 90%. For the top 1%, the pace was as fast as the bottom 90%.

@FrJulienLaurent @nosilverv That's how you get LinkedIn posts.

@nosilverv dressing can have drastic changes on how you think and act, I believe that woman understand this deeply

I dress low and feel somewhat self-conscious about it since I'm old but it's like, what the hell am I gonna dress high for?? Shitposting??

why am I suddenly responsible for this? aren't you the one with the monopoly on violence?

Hegseth: The document says Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, won't seek one, won't buy one, won't have one. Brennan: JCPOA said that too. Hegseth: The huge difference is we did this from a position of strength.

you go to war with the species you have, not the one you might want or wish to have at a later time.

we need to repeal sarbanes oxley so everyone can go public at all times and have a network of conspiratorial fintwit short sellers do the accounting

@nosilverv Out of love of humankind, out of despair over my awkward predicament of having achieved nothing and of being unable to make anything easier than it had already been made, out of genuine interest in those who make everything easy, I comprehended that it was my task: to make dif..

Back in the 1840s (!) Kierkegaard saw industrialists around him making life so 'easy' that people forgot how to live. So his response was to 'make difficulties everywhere.' Feels like he was early.

we are speedrunning creating the Zones of Thought from the Vinge universe. you will only be able to think superhuman thoughts in America

@nosilverv Maybe enough to fool the other 2s?

Level 2 Kegans don't Larp being level 4 challenge difficulty: impossible

@AmericanGwyn Proper should write whatever the hell they want…and people should read whatever the hell they want. And that’s sort of how things get decided. Right…?

The night you find out your spouse cheated, you don't learn one fact. You re-evaluate ten years of them. Every late meeting. Every weekend trip. The memories don't change — what they mean does. Your brain does this automatically. Your AI's memory can't do it at all. ↓

@richschefren its been painfully obvious to me that the memory retrieval, revisions and integrations are the bane of my working with ai - even in zenith mind elite .... i change an idea, and it should go all the way downstream; and if it a core meaning transformation it should start upstream

See the loop close in 12 seconds: clone it, run demo.sh. A fact changes. Ripple propagates. A contradiction surfaces. You resolve it in markdown. Code: github.com/RichSchefren/a… 90-second demo: livememory.pages.dev
