@gregisenberg Quality as measured how? It’s not like humans got worse by 50 percentage points. What’s the measure of the Y axis? Seems to be some relative measure, but of what/determined how?

"This generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space."

President John F. Kennedy's words from Sept 12, 1962 at Rice University still give us chills today.

Such respect for @GovCox for the heartfelt, thoughtful plea he just delivered to our frayed American community. We can continue to barrel down this path of increasing violence, or choose a better path and resist the siren song of hate and division.

In an AI world, the all-on-nothing college degree is a liability. We need to learn over the entirety of our careers and reskilling needs to be more agile. Working to bring the world a more flexible credit framework: https://t.co/PYHS4lQnGR

Only solution to housing crisis is to build more. Make it more expensive for cities to NOT build than to build. Tax cities in relation to their housing supply imbalance. It is a choice to not build. Make that choice more expensive.

One state ***increased*** its reading literacy for the bottom 10% of students while 49 other states let standards keep slipping.

It was the poorest state in the country, Mississippi. In 2013 they enacted a rule where at 4th grade if you can’t read, you repeat until you can.
