Is math discovered or invented? Most scientists say discovered. I used to agree. But I’ve come to think we invent systems to impose order, and math is our most powerful language for expressing that order.
Whatever.
Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil & gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill.
In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that both big and beautiful. Everyone knows this!
Either you get a big and ugly bill or a slim and beautiful bill.
Slim and beautiful is the way.
Racism in America is still alive and well, and we must stand up to it together.
Just read the replies to any recent post that includes "H-1B" to see the deplorable rhetoric targeting Indian Americans.
That's why I introduced a bipartisan resolution condemning all Hinduphobia.
Democrat Rep. Ayanna Pressley accuses Walgreens of racial discrimination for closing stores in neighborhoods overrun by theft.
Imagine being this stupid.
BREAKING : St Martin’s island of Bangladesh fallen to Arakan Army. Currently over 2000 soldiers of Arakan Army roaming freely on Island and Bangladeshi Army fled from the area.
The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH:
Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG.
A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers.
A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers.
(Fact: I know *multiple* sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity…and their kids went on to become wildly successful STEM graduates).
More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of “Friends.” More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall.”
Most normal American parents look skeptically at “those kinds of parents.” More normal American kids view such “those kinds of kids” with scorn. If you grow up aspiring to normalcy, normalcy is what you will achieve.
Now close your eyes & visualize which families you knew in the 90s (or even now) who raise their kids according to one model versus the other. Be brutally honest.
“Normalcy” doesn’t cut it in a hyper-competitive global market for technical talent. And if we pretend like it does, we’ll have our asses handed to us by China.
This can be our Sputnik moment. We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again. Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up. A culture that once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness.
That’s the work we have cut out for us, rather than wallowing in victimhood & just wishing (or legislating) alternative hiring practices into existence. I’m confident we can do it. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

🚨 #ARKSurvivalAscended - ARK: The Lost Colony DLC is coming in 2025!
This story connects Extinction and Genesis, leading into the events of ARK 2, as it follows Mei Yin’s journey in a frozen world.

Muslim Population in Nagaland
#Year 2001 : 0.03%
#Year 2011 : 2.47%
#Year 2024 : 12-15% (Estimated)
Illegal Rohingya and Bangladeshis have changed the demography of every Indian state.
West Bengal’s total fertility rate is 1.4
So how does the Muslim population of WB grow by 51% (1991-2001) 35% (2001-2011) & 29% (2011-2021) ? Clearly illegal immigration is part of it.
My take
Volvo XC90, renowned as one of the safest cars in the world, has recorded zero fatal crashes in UK since its launch in 2002.
Imagine investing in this car for its unmatched safety, only to face a tragic end because a car in the opposite lane suddenly slows down, causing a container truck behind it to lose control, jump the divider, and crush you, your spouse, three kids, and a relative.
Not the Volvo's fault, as any car would have crushed under such heavy weight—just an unfortunate twist of fate. Sad how death can find you in the most unexpected ways, even when you've done everything to stay safe.

@RadioGenoa Poland is first world? 😅😅 The terrorist who did the car attack was from Saudi. Their GDP per capita is decently higher than Poland...what the fck is your definition of first world? Being European?
