I have written papers debunking the works of half these authors (Raworth, Piketty, Hickel). All three for being sloppy (Piketty and Hickel), and/or self-contradicting (Raworth and Hickel), and/or outright incompetent (Hickel).

Elon Musk just put the entire university system on trial.
Not the curriculum. Not the professors. The premise.
Musk: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free.”
For a thousand years, universities held one monopoly. Access. You paid the toll or you stayed ignorant.
The internet erased that in a decade.
Every lecture. Every framework. Every textbook. Free. From any screen on Earth.
The six-figure tuition is no longer buying knowledge. It is buying a signal.
Musk: “There is a value that colleges have, which is seeing whether somebody can work hard at something, including a bunch of annoying homework assignments, and still do their homework assignments.”
That is the product. Not intelligence. Not creativity. Not vision. Compliance.
You are paying $200,000 to prove you can tolerate bureaucracy on a schedule.
Musk: “Colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores. But they’re not for learning.”
The entire system is a sorting machine for corporate HR. It does not measure what you can build. It measures whether you can sit still, follow directions, and deliver on command.
Four years of obedience dressed as education.
Musk: “If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability. I don’t consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability.”
The system optimizes for average. It rewards the compliant. It certifies the patient. It quietly filters out everyone who refuses to wait for permission.
The ones who reshaped the modern world never finished the test.
Musk: “Gates is a pretty smart guy, he dropped out. Jobs is pretty smart, he dropped out. Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out.”
They did not drop out because it was too hard. They dropped out because the speed limit was too low.
The most dangerous thing a university does is convince a generational talent that finishing the syllabus is the achievement.
It is not. It is the floor.
A degree is a receipt for compliance. The future has never belonged to people who finish their homework. It belongs to the ones who never needed the assignment.
🚨BREAKING: Marco Rubio drops truth bomb: "If you invite me into your home for dinner, and I go to your house and I start putting mud on your couch and spray-painting your kitchen, you're going to kick me out. We're going to do the same thing if you come into the U.S. as a visitor."
Do you support Marco Rubio on this?
✅Yes
❎No
IF Yes, Give me a 👍!!
MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON 𝕏. LET’S GO 👏
The Spectator says next week Starmer will appoint a tsar to tackle alleged anti-Muslim hostility. Quite wrong.
Where’s the anti-Jew tsar which is needed due to massive Muslim hostility.
Starmer is so in hock to Islam it’s sickening.
Strange. I could have sworn that a mysoginistic, repressive, theocratic Islamist regime that’d been waging a regional war for years and just recently killed tens of thousands of its own citizens was a teeny weeny bit rogue?
@AswathDamodaran#damodaran#FinTwit#ValueInvesting#Markets Damodaran's ERP model never once negative. It uses Wall Street earnings estimates as inputs built at Wall Street's favourite university. A framework that never tells you to get out isn't analysis. It's decoration.
@thetimes#TheTimes amazing customer services offer you a discount one month cancel it by stopping payment collection and forcing you to resubscribe at a higher price ! Sharp practice! You lost a customer
Absurdly Starmer told his MPs last night he would “ fight for the country I love.” He means fight for more taxes. Fight for more migrants. Fight for more union control. Fight for more unemployment. Fight for more pub closures. Fight to destroy the fabric of our society.
@British_Airways#BritishAirways you promiss to credit missing tier points for LHR-PER and don. its been a year you said back office will deal with it then I get asked to send boarding pass copy done it twice still no points BA the worst customer service - Silver member!!
Just 3 days into me writing my Crypto Apocalypse oped Bitcoin is now down 45% from its peak rather than the 35% I quoted in my column. Real hard to catch a falling knife without a bloodbath … Caveat Emptor for all the clueless retail shitcoiners suckers and haters I warned but who pompously claimed here that my column was the bottom signal! 🤮🤑💩💩💩🤮🤑
STIFEL WARNS BITCOIN COULD DROP TO $38K
Stifel says Bitcoin could fall to $38,000 based on past cycles, citing tighter Fed policy, slowing U.S. crypto regulation, shrinking liquidity, and heavy ETF outflows. Sentiment has sunk into “extreme fear,” showing waning institutional and retail interest.
