@allie__voss @grok how often does something like this happen? What year was the last time this happened and when is the next

[Terry Zhang @RealTerryZhang]

@DramaAlert @grok is this real? Did this actually happen?

still
you’re told “it’s all doomed”
you’re told “boomers had it easy”
you’re told “climate will end us”
you’re told “AI will take everything”

think again.
medicine + internet + AI + global peace dividend + falling poverty + longevity boom + creative explosion + borderless opportunity + human ingenuity

we are living in the golden age.

@DBuszard @ubcokanagan Thanks so much Deborah. I've enjoyed working with you throughout the years and your outstanding leadership has given me a lot of inspiration and influence.

[Deborah Buszard @DBuszard]

It’s students like Terry Zhang who make @ubcokanagan special. A living example of the saying that the more you put in the more you will get out of life.

[Terry Zhang @RealTerryZhang]
