Powerful read. This reframed imagination for me. So often, failures in war and beyond come from the same place: we see what is, but can’t imagine how others understand the world or what experiences might mean to them.

[Yonatan Touval @Yonatan_Touval]

The algebra of the war makers will have been flawless. But what they cannot read, they will not have reckoned with — and wars are made of resentment, dishonor, loyalty and grief as much as of algorithms and fire.

Ten years ago, Founder Tom Luce believed our future should never be left to chance. He wanted the next generation to have the same or better opportunities than he had.

And he knew data and discipline would lead the way. That belief became Texas 2036.

We're celebrating 10 years today. Here's to shaping the next decade. #txlege

[Texas 2036 @Texas2036]

Texas turns 200 in just ten years. So what do we want our state to look like by 2036? #TexasBirthday #txlege
