Barbell strategy for killing it in an age of superhuman AI:
Simultaneously get as close to AND stay as far away from AI as humanly possible.
1. Get close — play with AI models, use them to help you think, ask them to teach you about the world, get them to help you create, work with them to write code, understand what makes them tick, embed them into your everyday life, have fun.
2. Stay far away — learn to tell stories, make eye contact, build a team, lead with courage, connect far-flung ideas, build lifelong friendships, debate persuasively, think forbidden thoughts, handwrite ideas, confess your fears, fall in love.
Spend less time trying to master mental transformations that are purely mechanical — building spreadsheets, analyzing trades, balancing accounts, writing code by hand, following playbooks, searching for needles in haystacks. These are the emerging no-man's land, squarely the domain of AI.
Venture to the extremes. That’s where all the fun is anyway.
Is school sports the antidote for the rising costs of youth sports? 🏀
@NFHS_Org wrote an op-ed that stated, "When it comes to youth ages 12-18, there is no better place to participate in sports than our nation’s schools.”
The piece cites experience benefits not found in club sports:
- Community, school spirit
- Focus on education, relationships, team unity, fun
- Personal confidence, pride
- More media coverage, fan interest
- Free of “outside interest groups”
But @KyleScottL wonders what if the future isn't school sports? What if it's sports-schools?
Emerging models like @IMGAcademy, @SPIREACAD, and @TheStJames, AI-powered schools like @AlphaSchoolATX, and hybrid learning environments like @tbsbsbl are beginning to challenge that structure.
As AI compresses learning we're starting to see a world where students can complete core academics in a fraction of the traditional school day.
Which creates space for something entirely different...
Education and athletic development operating as equals.
Whether you love it or hate it, the trend is real.

Today we celebrated the graduation of our Inaugural Class - The Class of 2026. The foundation they have laid for all who follow is simply incredible. Congratulations men - May the road rise to meet you and the wind be always at your back. Rebels Forever ❤️💙
2 hours of Alpha School academics in the morning. Elite baseball in the afternoon. National champions by May.
The Bennett School (@tbsbsbl, powered by @AlphaSchoolATX + @TXSportsAcademy) just won the 2026 NAA title in Year One. Walk-off win. 62 HRs (most in the nation).
Elite academics and elite athletics don't just coexist, they reinforce each other.
Judson Dowell (‘26 TX) leaves no doubt here, rockets a solo shot to LCF to even things up in Cary💣 showing off the pure power potential here in the chip #NAA@NAA_Conference@tbsbsbl@Texas_PG
Storybook ending to our inaugural season 🏆 Congratulations to our Seniors on their incredible high school careers - they have built a legacy that will forever be the foundation of TBS. Rebels Forever.
Huge thanks to our partners at @TXSportsAcademy and @AlphaSchoolATX for helping us make it happen!
The Pierce effect is real 💯
David Pierce has @RiceBaseball at 24-14, No. 54 in the RPI and firmly in the at-large conversation after eight years out of the tournament.

✍️🦉Really enjoyed writing this piece.
With @davidpierce_5 leading the way, @RiceBaseball is engineering one of @NCAABaseball's great turnarounds this season and is now in postseason contention.
How has it been done so fast?

Enjoyed chatting with @RiceBaseball HC David Pierce earlier today for a piece I'm working on, re: #Rice's turnaround this season as an at-large contender.
Some big buzz on RHP Tanner Wiggins, who was up to 96-97 mph w/ FB in the last week.
More later.
