The smarter women are, the more hostility they face.
In the U.S. & China, the higher women’s IQs, the less they're liked—and the more they’re undermined by coworkers. Men pay no price for being bright.
It's long past time to recognize female intellect as an asset, not a threat.
I'm impressed with how many grownass adults don't have a basic understanding of capitalism, representative government, and a few other fundamental concepts.
In their first interview Thursday since returning from a trip around the moon, the Artemis II astronauts credited their training at Wyoming-based NOLS for helping prepare for their mission. NASA has contracted NOLS for more than 45 wilderness expeditions.

The Cheyenne Airport sensor reached 90 mph, which is the highest recorded at this station since reasonable wind data have been tracked (early-mid 1990s). Nearly our entire forecast area has gusted to at least 60 mph this morning with damage reports coming in #NEwx#WYwx
The cure for ignorance is not information. It's humility and curiosity.
Facts can be easily dismissed. What motivates people to gain insight is recognizing gaps in their understanding and wanting to find out more.
The root of lifelong learning is knowing how little we know.
Gratitude does not come from our wiring.
Fear and anxiety do. Our ancestors survived by paying attention to danger, not goodness, and we inherited that instinct. That is why gratitude can feel unnatural, especially when life is heavy.
Today is not a celebration of perfect circumstances. Thanksgiving is our yearly intervention to interrupt those ancestral instincts and remember that we still have agency, even in suffering. We can choose what we return to. We can guide our emotions instead of being carried by them.
If today feels especially hard for you, you do not need to pretend you feel grateful. Gratitude is not a performance. It’s a practice.
From my family to yours: Happy Thanksgiving. Stay grateful.
Reinvention at 45 isn’t weak. You're supposed to change; that's a normal and healthy thing.
Many professionals fear that their best years are behind them by midlife. They feel their edge softening, their energy shifting, their ambitions changing shape.
But research on intelligence over a person's life offers a different—and more hopeful—story.
Fluid intelligence (the ability to solve novel problems), peaks in our 30s and then declines. But crystallized intelligence (the ability to synthesize knowledge, teach, and understand complex ideas) rises with age.
That’s why many people, especially men who have spent decades climbing, begin to feel unsatisfied around midlife. They’re still chasing fluid rewards, even as their gifts have evolved.
See this transition as moving from the first curve to the second. And following your rhumb line, which is the true course of meaning in your life, guided not by comparison or ego, but by wisdom.
I’ve had four completely different careers. Every decade, I take it down to the studs and start again, and that reinvention has brought me closer each time to who I truly am and what I’m really here to do.
If you reach your goals by compromising your values, you haven’t succeeded.
If you fall short of your goals by upholding your values, you haven’t failed.
The true measure of accomplishment is standing by your principles when they’re tested.
There's an old joke that Wyoming's wind comes from the blustery exchange of weather because Nebraska sucks and Utah blows, with the Cowboy State caught in the middle. There's actually some truth to the joke.
