刚看了一段伯克利工程学院的毕业典礼演讲，是今年看过最打动人的一段视频

演讲者收到伯克利博士录取通知的时候，96岁的奶奶跟她说："我很为你骄傲，但我不想让你走。因为我不知道我还能不能再等五年，看到你博士毕业。"

她说从那一刻开始，她一直在想一个问题：一个PhD的重量到底是什么？

不只是论文和答辩。是导师的指导，是实验室里无数个孤独的夜晚，是家人替你承担的那些你看不到的代价

她的奶奶成长在动荡年代，连小学都没读完。但今天她坐在台下，看着孙女成为博士

演讲里有一段话我反复听了几遍：工程是人类最古老的职业之一，从石器到蒸汽机到今天的AI。我们有建造和定义时代的力量，但每个系统背后都是真实的人生，每个决定都有重量

现在AI这么热，大家都在聊模型多强、效率多高。但偶尔需要有人提醒一下：技术最终是服务于人的，不是反过来

她最后说，她设计传感器的时候，总会想象奶奶生活在这个技术世界里

So much to learn over 50

[Dr. Arthur Brooks @arthurbrooks]

Men tend to get lonelier as they age.

One reason is that many of their friendships are built around shared interests rather than shared inner lives.

There's nothing wrong with golf, fantasy football, or talking about work. But if every conversation stays there, it's possible to spend years surrounded by people and still have nobody you can tell the truth to.

I've met countless successful men who can name dozens of colleagues and acquaintances but struggle to identify a single person they could call in a moment of real pain.

By middle age, many have become fluent in banter and almost illiterate in confession. The friendships that endure are often built through small acts of courage: asking the deeper question, giving the honest answer, and risking being known.

Loneliness rarely arrives all at once. It accumulates quietly, one surface-level conversation at a time.

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

These monuments tell the story of America.

They honor the men and women who sacrificed for our freedom and the leaders who helped shape this nation.

Their beauty, history, and meaning remind us why America remains the greatest country on Earth.

They stand as lasting symbols of courage, strength, sacrifice, and the American spirit.

God Bless America! 🇺🇸

Eric Weinstein Exposes the Peer Review Scam: How COVID Blew Up a 50-Year Academic Lie

COVID didn’t just break public trust in science—it proved peer review is a manufactured myth, weaponized to gatekeep truth.

As Eric Weinstein reveals:

🔹 Peer review isn’t some ancient tradition. It wasn’t born with the Royal Society. Real scholarship shows it was invented between 1965-1975—a bureaucratic tool, not a gold standard.

🔹 The Medicare Act (1965) forced it into existence. Suddenly, the U.S. government had to pay for endless medical procedures. Doctors circled the wagons, creating "peer review" to police themselves—not ensure truth.

🔹 By 1975, the NSF weaponized it. Under pressure, they turned "peer review" into a shield—"Trust us, we’re checking each other!" No—they were protecting each other.

🔹 Robert Maxwell’s Pergamon Press monetized it. As journals boomed, "peer review" became fake validation for a prestige industry.

COVID was the smoking gun:

- The Lancet & Nature published fraud (Remember HCQ hysteria? Surgisphere?).

- "Peer-reviewed" journals became propaganda laundromats.

- The system rewarded groupthink, crushed dissent.

Weinstein’s verdict: Peer review is a modern con—a Potemkin process designed to simulate rigor while entrenching power.

Until we admit that, "trust the science" is just a demand for obedience.

The first test screening of "Ghostbusters" (1984) was done only 3 weeks after the filming was completed. There were about 200 university students who were raucous. Reitman felt the screening without special effects would reveal if the story and the humour really worked. In the scene where Sigourney Weaver opens the refrigerator, it only displayed "Scene Missing" and had grease pencil marks all over it. The audience groaned during the scenes but they also had a good time. The movie had 90% audience approval even without the special effects.

P.S: On this day, 42 years ago, Ivan Reitman's "Ghostbusters" (1984) premiered in Westwood, California, USA.

@BlackAndNative1 Can you imagine the utter collapse of all social programs if we continue promoting “lived experience” instead of educated contributors? Lived experience in crime, addiction, homelessness and irresponsibility needs to be remedied, not leveraged.

@RobertKennedyJr For all those saying, you’re not qualified because you don’t have a medical degree, you’re the only one that can snatch serpents from the AMA’s proverbial pole.

[Carlos That Notices Things @QuetzalPhoenix]

Monthly reminder that The Fifth Element was so good that you actually forgot how good it was.

Just this scene sets up our protagonist & his world so well, the future in ONE room

& the fact that he wakes up after a nightmare *smiling* in relief? More characterization than Dune!

Nearly every scientific conclusion leading to Recovery, Reentry, and Homelessness industries over the past 30 years has been wrong - since those profiting from them were themselves compromised - corrupting each next generation for their rackets.

In the last chapter of Suicidal Empathy, I discuss the importance of immediate vs delayed gratification as it relates to seeking an immediate empathy-based dopamine hit. This research goes hand-in-hand with my point.

@mattvanswol All errant behavior flows from an imparted philosophy. For these, someone imparted the ‘right’ to other people‘s earnings, goods and property. We became what we learned from teachers and homework. They became what they learned through reparation entitlement from pimps and thieves

@kennethschrupp @christopherrufo @CityJournal Of the first 10,213 individuals I helped out of American Homelessness in Las Vegas in the late 1990s:
1. Not one individual was from Las Vegas (I was)
2. All but 5 individuals reported they were Christian/raised in Christianity
3. Greater than 99% has the same 4 Habits

@EvangelicalDW It probably means nothing but one of the low IQ hyenas was played by Whoopi Goldberg

@Oxy_Gen_0 @EricLDaugh @ABSamson1 I didn’t know 13-year-olds were still Googling adults to find some excuse that justifies not listening to them.

[Tiger Todd @TigerTodd]

@C_3C_3 It’s many times that number.

@EricLDaugh Now do the university system

@kangminlee Thank you.
