Thomas Sowell explains what he looks for when choosing a university. It’s not just about the name, ranking, or fancy campus. The real question is whether you’re actually getting an education that will be worth the time and money you’re putting into it.

Thomas Sowell explains why he believes promoting “equity” can produce the opposite of what it intends. His argument is that equal outcomes often require treating people differently, rather than judging people by the same standards. For Sowell, the real question isn’t whether the goal sounds compassionate, it’s whether the policy actually improves people’s lives.

Life is short. Enjoy it and make the best of it! Naval “It’s even briefer than that. Each moment just disappears. It’s gone. There’s only a present moment, and it’s gone instantly. So if you’re not there for it, if you’re stressed out, or you’re anxious, or you’re thinking about something else, you missed it. So the true wasted time is a time that you are not present for, when you are not there for it, when you are not doing the thing you want to do to the best of your capabilities such that you’re immersed in it. If you’re not immersed in this moment, then you’re wasting your time.” Chris Williamson

Konstantin Kisin says the single most important idea he ever learned came from Thomas Sowell: “There are no solutions. Only trade-offs.” You’re not going to “solve” climate change. You’re not going to “solve” the NHS. You’re not going to “solve” poverty or free speech. Every policy has a cost. The real skill is choosing which costs you’re willing to accept — and being honest about them. We’ve completely lost that ability.

⚠️ Porn Isn’t the Problem. What You’re Running From Is. If you reach for it every time you’re stressed, lonely, or disconnected, it’s not just desire. It’s an escape.

It is not a question of whether an act is legal or illegal, but whether it is just or unjust. Torturing an animal in a laboratory in the name of what they call "science" is legal and unjust, and sneaking into a laboratory to rescue that same animal is illegal and just.

Get Yourself Into A Love Triangle Love triangles aren’t always about drama. Sometimes they’re about clarity. When you’re stuck between two people, it’s usually not because you’re greedy — it’s because you’re conflicted. And that moment when the “coin is in the air” and you suddenly know which side you’re hoping for? That’s your nervous system telling the truth. This isn’t about juggling people. It’s about understanding why uncertainty feels intoxicating and what it reveals about what you actually want.

“You say that you’re seeking truth and asking questions, but you’re actually just outsourcing your critical thinking and your question asking to someone else. And you’re never really asking questions. You’re never saying, ‘does that make sense? or ‘what could be the other side of that story?’ or ‘is there an alternative explanation for that?’” All of this. Also, please pray for Allie Beth during this time. The Great Accuser is out for blood.

Reality doesn’t care about your learning style. Thomas Sowell shuts down the “touchy-feely” education argument with one hard point: if you’re going to build bridges, you need math. If you’re going to practice medicine, you need chemistry. Whether it feels good or not is irrelevant. Schools that abandon academic standards in the name of self-esteem or different learning styles aren’t being compassionate. They’re dumbing down the product while the people who actually have to live with the results pay the price.

Jensen Huang: “To be CEO is a lifetime of sacrifice” “Most people think that [being CEO] is about leading, being in command, and being on top,” Nvidia founder Jensen Huang begins. “But none of that is true.” Jensen explains: “You’re in service of the company. You’re creating conditions for other people to do their life’s work. You’re inspiring through example. Most of the examples are making difficult decisions during very difficult times. It’s mostly about sacrifice. It’s also about strategy. And strategy is not just about choosing what to do. It’s about choosing what not to do — which is sacrifice.” He continues: “The determination, conviction, pain, and suffering that goes along with overcoming obstacles is all sacrifice. I’m not trying to talk anybody out of the profession — if you are to do it, it’s the greatest honor. But you have to realize that it’s not about fame and glory. It’s mostly about pain and suffering.” Video source: The Cambridge Union (2025)

Bill Maher: “I remember George Bush wanted to put the money when you start paying into Social Security… into the stock market. ‘Oh wow, what a terrible idea.’ Not a terrible idea. You’re not going to be able to touch it until you’re 65 anyway. Look at the chart of where the money in the stock market—it outpaces just putting it in the bank by exponential number.” “So why didn’t we do that? Well, because politics, I guess.” “[The Trump Accounts] seem like the same thing.” Kristen Soltis Anderson: “The idea that you’re starting so early… time is just such an excelorate when it comes to growing wealth and being able to start so young.”

i'm actually a HUGE fan of the way The Blood of Dawnwalker makes you think about managing time so often in games an NPC will give you a quest and the default player response will always be to take it because there is no reason not to for the first time ever though, when an NPC asks me for help i actually have to think about whether or not i have enough time to help them or if it's even worth it the prologue really showcased exactly what the consequences of this system could be and it adds a whole new layer of complexity and intensity to the game that i absolutely love!

VANCE addresses Joe Kent’s resignation: “Whether you’re the gardener at Mar-A-Lago or whether you’re the Secretary of State, the president cares about what you think about an issue….With that said, when the president of the United States makes a decision, it’s your job to make that decision as effective and successful as possible.”

Graduation looks like an ending — it really isn't. It's the start of a harder, more important question: not just what they're going to do, but what their life is actually for. I’ve been thinking about that a lot in recent years, and it's part of why I wrote my new book, The Meaning of Your Life. If you have a graduate in your life and you’re looking for something worth giving them, consider getting them a copy.

Tucker Carlson says Donald Trump betrayed Christians and rejects The Bible He points to Trump not putting his hand on the Bible when taking l oath “I was about 15 feet away and saw it, he did not put his hand on The Bible.” “Should have been maybe a clue that we need to pause and think about: what is this?” “That suggests he knows it is real and you’re rejecting it intentionally. You know what you’re doing and you’re doing it anyway.” “One theme that spans all 66 books in the Christian Bible, it’s that you are not God and you cannot assume his powers.”

Stephen A Smith GOES IN on LeBron saying he gets sh*tted on in the GOAT debate: “That is where the problem lies. What we don’t talk about enough is as great as LeBron James is, we don’t talk about what he has done to hurt, not the game, but narratives associated with the game…. If your name is in the conversation it’s because you’re an all time great! But when it comes to LeBron James, oh no. You’re pooping on the player. You’re dogging them. It’s the negativity.” (Via First Take)

Thank you Jim Jones- for speaking business, not emotions. Drake isn’t just an entertainer. He’s a brand. A corporation. A machine with partnerships, employees, contracts, and global deals attached to his name. When you attack his name, you’re not just attacking a rapper, you’re threatening an ecosystem. Clearing his name isn’t about ego, It’s more for obligation. Public allegations, I believe require public defense, especially when his accusers move beyond rap and into real-world criminal claims. If it’s just rap, keep it rap. If you introduce criminal allegations, don’t be surprised when real-world tools get used. Don’t inflate non-criminal behavior into criminal accusations. A stage act can be awkward . AWKWARD is not illegal. There’s a difference. And the culture needs to remember that.

Marc Andreessen explains why startups are an “irrational act” “The biggest thing people don’t understand about what it’s like to be a startup founder is it gets very romanticized. Even whey they fail, it still gets romanticized about what a great adventure it was. But the reality of it is most of what happens is people telling you no, and then they usually follow that with ‘you’re stupid.’ No, I will not come to work for you. No, I’m not going to buy your product.” Marc explains why: “When you’re a founder, you cannot let on that this is happening because it will cause people to think that you’re weak and they’ll lose faith in you. So you have to pretend you’re having a great time when you’re dying inside. Just misery.” Why do it then? “For most of these people - on a risk-adjusted basis - it’s probably an irrational act. They could probably be more financially successful on average if they just got like a real job in a big company. But some people just have an irrational need to do something new and build something for themselves and some people just can’t tolerate having bosses.” Video source: Lex Fridman (2023)
