AI can now generate a unique textbook for every child based on their interests, which is genuinely impressive.

But interactive whiteboards were genuinely impressive, and they didn't help learning.

The classic failure mode of ed tech is the solution in search of a problem - the genuinely impressive technology that does not solve any of the actual problems schools face.

"For me, essays are about brevity and also personality, a feeling that you’re being taken on an intellectual or emotional journey by a particular person who you get to know along the way."

1. Your timeline is yours alone.

Stop comparing your chapter 2 to someone else's chapter 20. The anxiety of falling behind is just a symptom of watching too many highlight reels.

Studies show that negative headlines get more clicks.

As a result, media outlets compete for your attention by producing more and more bad news.

"The promise broken, the meeting you missed, the word not spoken, the cheek not kissed, lust was it or love? was it false or true? who cares now? dying you'll grieve for what you didn't do."

7. What will you regret when you’re 90?

The #1 regret isn’t failure.

It’s inaction.

Not starting. Not speaking up. Not taking the leap.

Picture your 90-year-old self. What would they beg you to do today?

Reeves made it clear higher tax rises are all but inevitable. But raising taxes in a stagnating economy isn’t just a ‘hard choice’ – it’s bad economics.

“Have you ever heard of an economy being taxed into prosperity?”
