As pro-freedom as I am, I'm glad to see Australia’s under-16 social media ban.

You can parent against alcohol and cigarettes. You can’t parent against TikTok’s design team.

Worst case: harmless experiment. Let it run.

@PeterZeihan check out this new data stack ranking cities "Quality of life index". Can you comment on the ranked cities and add a column for economic volatility?

Don't rely on the master to be a good teacher. It is the student's responsibility to draw out the wisdom.

Do not complain about things you expect other people to remedy.

Here's a thought experiment...what would be the total impact on societies if governments offered these payments directly to parents to stay at home and care for their own children?
Grandparents the next best option.

The U.S. is an outlier in its low levels of financial support for young children’s care. Rich countries contribute an average of $14,000 per year for a toddler’s care, compared with $500 in the U.S. The Democrats’ spending bill tries to shrink the gap. https://t.co/convDaRSG6

I’ve waited many months for this. A new reading lamp, a rug, new glasses all ready for this moment. @BretWeinstein @HeatherEHeying

2/ Despite the challenges that came with 2020, edtech founders managed to raise bigger funding rounds, as many education institutions switched to online learning.

4/ What makes edtech attractive in 2021?
-42% of EU citizens don't have basic digital skills (@eucommision) #digitalgap
-By 2050, there will be 9.4bn learners globally
-The edtech market is estimated to be worth $7.3tn globally by 2025 (@holoniq)

[Sifted @Siftedeu]

After hitting a record $711m in investment in 2020, European edtech is starting 2021 with a bang: last week alone saw three raises from 🇬🇧 @JoinMultiverse ($44m) & @obrizum (£1.8m) and 🇪🇸@ironhack ($20m).

Could #edtech be the next big investment opportunity of the 2020s? 📚👇

If you need a degree to do it, it’s not going to make you wealthy.

No to Trump & Biden? @BretWeinstein has a plan https://t.co/ubsItiGXmg (how do we get smart people like Bret in positions of governance?)

Saw this coming. Soon you'll be able to opt-out in one place from targeting advertising - or get paid. Big probs for startups that can't micro-manage their user data, create user flows for specific permissions & explain the benefits of recommender systems.

“Wait, my kid’s going to be home most of the year? Staring at a computer screen?” There’s this horrific awakening being delivered via Zoom of just how substandard and overpriced education is at every level. https://t.co/GiCyh7rMZC via @intelligencer

“Governments tell us that the purpose of education is to get ahead of other people or, collectively, of other nations. The success of universities is measured partly by the starting salaries of their graduates. But nobody wins the human race. What we a…” https://t.co/ex3fQMLMR7
