But I'll bet you have wished gov't stopped making your life worse. Personalizing actual societal problems doesn't solve them. It only let's the other side shape the rules while you pretend to be above it all
The early believers were persecuted by political systems.
The apostles did not consecrate Rome, campaigns, elections, or rulers to Christ.
They preached against the spirit of this world and refused to bow to earthly power.
This modern obsession with merging Jesus Christ with political movements is not biblical. Christ did not come to take Caesar’s throne. He came to call people out of the world and into His Kingdom.
This. Is. Terrifying.
This technology should NEVER be allowed to be used.
Ford can fvck right off and so can the Congress members who voted to put this tech in vehicles starting in 2027.
Apart from all the times Tiny Tommy Ten Names Robinson gets humiliated and shown to be the grubby little racist that he actually is.
Here's Akala handing him his arse on a plate...
When brilliant teachers emerge, they disappear. Jaime Escalante created one of the finest AP calculus programs in the country. He could not scale it. Marva Collins founded an exceptional school. She could not replicate her excellence across ten other schools.
The question is not why these teachers are geniuses. The question is why we have no system to transmit their genius.
If Escalante had been a martial arts master, he would have founded a school. His best students would open branches displaying their lineage. Over generations, a coherent tradition would spread. This happens in martial arts, music, dance, and craft traditions.
It does not happen in education.
I call this absence The Missing Institution. In the absence of government monopoly, we would have seen the spontaneous creation of hundreds of pedagogical lineages, each designed to transmit the artistry of a master teacher.
Instead, teacher training is controlled by education professors who publish research papers, not by virtuoso teachers who practice their craft daily.
Montessori and Waldorf escaped the system. They created their own teacher training lineages outside government control. KIPP Academies created an internal leadership program. Hi Tech High licensed its own teachers. The moment schools escape government domination, they spontaneously create The Missing Institution.
For underprivileged children, this absence is catastrophic. They need schools that transmit cultural capital through immersion in a living tradition.
@RestrictedDaily I once read that there was no year zero, so I got this one. But I'm sure, as is the case every time I've watched the show, that I would have missed 90% of the rest of the episode's questions.
That was not only Jackson’s tragedy.
It reflected a larger national decline.
Communities suffer when truth is silenced to protect alliances.
The next phase of progress will not come through grievance, racial theater, or party loyalty.
It will come through truth, discipline, accountability, and courage.
Unexpected forms of generosity:
-Being early can be a form of generosity. You wait, so they don't have to.
-Leaving something unsaid can be a form of generosity. You don't always need the last word.
-Delivering your work on time can be a form of generosity. You make life easier for everyone downstream.
-Not taking things personally can be a form of generosity. You give people the space to say things imperfectly.
@TLAVagabond It's frustraing that almost everyone's focusing on her broken English and lack of credentials while failing to *actually listen* that she was promoting a hard-hitting globalist agenda and tehcnodystopia. Here's a good report: https://t.co/PEKptVaL5E
When I was writing grants, I used to go on walks when I was stuck & like magic I'd figure it out.
When my kids are getting frustrated with learning, I ask them to go outside for a walk.
Works every time. Exercise makes your brain better.
Permanent Daylight Saving Time: “We are groggy, sleepy, tired, and our work is harder, because we have lost the most important hours of sleep.” —On this day in 1942.
There is no need to go through the stupidest ritual of modern life next weekend. More daylight is coming this month without the foolishness of changing our clocks. @SaveStandard Time!
