Dear @elonmusk

As a new SpaceX shareholder and enthusiastic supporter, I would like to make a contribution to Arts & Culture on Mars.

I recommend the FIRST WORK OF ART on Mars be “Clay Pots Made from Martian Soil.”

1) Gather regolith from ancient riverbed sites
2) Add H2O and let sit for a period of time.
3) Shape into pots (hand-built or wheel-thrown)

Financials:
-Clay pot made by SpaceX Engineer — approximate value $20
-Return Shipping Costs via SpaceX — $1.2M+
-Suggested Sotheby’s starting bid: $2M

Additional ideas I have:
-Pigments made from Martian minerals for landscape & still-life painting
-Sculptures using local materials
-Recording & preserving the first human oral histories on Mars

Happy to share more details if this sparks any interest.

Occupy Mars. 🚀

A community college professor named Marty Lobdell taught the same study skills lecture for 30 years. The video quietly became one of the most watched educational recordings online, with over 10 million views.

He spent his career watching students fail not because they were lazy, but because no one had taught them how their brain actually works when learning something difficult.

The lecture, “Study Less Study Smart,” contains a powerful framework.

Your brain cannot sustain focus the way most people believe. Studies show the average learner hits a wall between 25 and 30 minutes. After that, efficiency collapses. You’re still sitting there, but almost nothing is being absorbed.

Lobdell told the story of a student who planned to study 6 hours a night, 5 nights a week. Thirty hours total. She failed every class. She was not lacking effort. She was confusing time near books with actual learning. The fix is simple: when focus drops, stop, take a 5 minute rewarding break, then return. That reset makes a massive difference.
He also destroyed the myth of highlighting and re reading. Recognition is not the same as recall. To prove it, he read 13 random letters. Almost no one remembered them. Then he turned them into “Happy Thursday.” The entire room recalled them instantly. The brain stores meaning, not repetition.

This is why elaborative encoding works so well.

Finally, he shared the most important principle: 80 percent of study time should be active recitation. Close the book and explain the material in your own words. Teach it to someone else or an empty chair. Retrieval is where real learning happens.

His closing line stuck with me: If this information does not change your
behaviour, you have not actually learned it.

The best students do not study more hours. They stop confusing the feeling of studying with the reality of learning.
