Both men said “I can’t breathe”, but only one man’s death was covered relentlessly by the media.

The only conclusion that can be drawn is that the legacy mainstream media is incredibly, hatefully racist against Whites.

On what principle is it that when we see nothing but improvement behind us, we are to expect nothing but deterioration before us?l

I don’t want a list of 100 books anymore.

I want the next 5 books that will actually change how I think.

So I built a Claude prompt around Naval’s reading advice.

It creates a custom curriculum based on what you already know and what your brain is missing:

“Collect books, even if you don't plan on reading them right away. Nothing is more important than an unread library.”

Very true!

Teaching is the best way to learn.

“A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life, because it is there that a civilization stores its memory and teaches the next generation how to think.”

–Henry Ward Beecher

Writing is thinking.

Scholar reveals historical proof for Jesus beyond the Bible.

Bestselling author Dr. Jeremiah Johnston says there are several historic artifacts that corroborate biblical accounts and Jesus’ resurrection, including the controversial Shroud of Turin and the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Chuck Norris reveals how his wife studying the Bible led him back to Christ

“I drifted from the Lord, but the Lord never drifted from me.”

If your child becomes a reader, about 80% of the education job is already done. That's my honest assessment after working in education for over thirty years. Everything else is secondary. Most parents think science education is important. Yes it is. But if you can't read the biology textbook, you're not going to learn biology.

Reading is the meta-skill that enables all other skills. History requires reading. Science requires reading. Even math increasingly requires reading as it becomes more sophisticated. The child who reads voraciously will figure out everything else. The child who doesn't will struggle with everything.

Structure your @msexcel #Dashboard workbook like a developer: Data tab for truth, Calcs for brains, and Interface (the main Dashboard sheet). Cut errors, faster updates, cleaner logic. Done this myself about five years ago.

Plot twist: 67 was a mathematically significant number long before it became a meme.

Here’s what makes it cool:

It is a prime number (can only be divided by itself and 1). But it’s not just ANY prime number. 🧵⬇️

Why God created knowing we would sin. — R.C. Sproul

Money and the Greek Mind

The Greeks were the first heavily monetised empire, could that have been the secret of their success? Was money responsible for Greek intellectual and political thought?

I had a great chat about the History of Money with Dax and Monica on @ArmchairExpPod

[Gita Wirjawan @GWirjawan]

One of the most ostensible ways of a society’s bankrolling its lifestyles is through currency debasement - which, history tells us, has led to many civilizational collapses.

A book narrating how money has correlated with important, sometimes existentially, historical events since thousands of years ago.
