Today, I took my children, Imad and Adam, along with my sister’s children—Elaine, Maher, and Ahmed—to the sea in Gaza. 🌊❤️

For a few hours, we forgot the heat inside the tent. We forgot the sounds of war and let the children laugh the way every child deserves to laugh.

I swam with them, looked at their smiling faces, and prayed that one day they would have a normal childhood—without fear, displacement, or war.

We may not be able to change our reality today, but we are trying to create beautiful memories for our children in the midst of all this pain.

These small moments are what give us the strength to keep going. 💙🍉

‼️Candace Owens Reveals a TERRIFYING Medical Emergency That HAPPENED to Her Security Team in Russia 👀

In her first episode back, Candace Owens shared that while on her family trip to Russia, one of their American security personnel — a former Special Forces member — collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. Doctors discovered he had a massive blood clot in his brain and needed emergency surgery.

She explained that this man had been trying for years to get proper medical care through the VA after surviving a sonar blast with his platoon. He was repeatedly gaslit and told it was probably PTSD. Multiple men from his unit who couldn’t get appointments eventually took their own lives.

Despite being in Russia — a country he was trained to see as the enemy — he received immediate care, a CAT scan, and life-saving brain surgery. Candace noted the stark contrast: the same veteran who couldn’t get basic help in America was treated with urgency and respect once he was in a Russian hospital.

She didn’t hold back on her anger, pointing out how America seems to have unlimited money for foreign wars and foreign aid, but can’t even give veterans the basic medical care they were promised.

This story is heartbreaking and infuriating at the same time.

[Prof. Steve Keen @ProfSteveKeen]

99.9% of products have constant or falling marginal costs.

The textbooks say the opposite.

71 surveys. Every single one found the same result. And neoclassical economists have responded by literally ignoring it.

Supply and demand is not a model of how the economy works.

It is a model of how economists wish the economy worked.

I break the whole thing down in the video given below.

Piers Morgan asked if we are heading for a global recession. I said we are heading for a global depression.

What followed was one of the more honest conversations I have had on television in a long time.

Three economists. Three very different worldviews. And one question nobody in power seems willing to answer seriously.

The physical infrastructure of the global economy is being destroyed in real time. The financial markets have not caught up yet. When they do, the overreaction will be severe.

The clip is short. The implications are not.

45 minutes. 3 flawed arguments. 1 walkout.

I sat down to debate China’s economy. The other guy came in convinced China was heading for collapse.

Every argument I made, he had a talking point ready. None of them held up under scrutiny. All of them came straight from Western media headlines.

So after 45 minutes I had enough and left.

Then I sat down with Dom Tweed, my former student who actually lives in China today, and reacted to the whole thing on camera.

[Ihtesham Ali @ihteshamali]

An MIT professor taught the same math course for 62 years, and the day he retired, students from every country on earth showed up online to watch him give his final lecture.

I opened the playlist at 2am and ended up watching three of them back to back.

His name is Gilbert Strang. The course is MIT 18.06 Linear Algebra.

Every machine learning engineer, every data scientist, every quant, every self-taught programmer who actually understands how AI works learned the math from this one man. Most of them never set foot on MIT's campus. They just opened a free playlist on YouTube and let him teach.

Here's the story almost nobody tells you.

Strang joined the MIT math faculty in 1962. He retired in 2023. That is 61 years of standing at the same chalkboard teaching the same subject to 18-year-olds.

The interesting part is what he did when MIT launched OpenCourseWare in 2002. Most professors were skeptical. They worried that putting their lectures online would make their classrooms irrelevant. Strang did not hesitate. He said his life's mission was to open mathematics to students everywhere. He filmed every lecture and gave it away.

The decision quietly changed how the world learns math.

For decades linear algebra was taught the wrong way. Professors started with abstract vector spaces and proofs about field axioms. Students drowned in the abstraction. Most never recovered. They walked out believing they were bad at math when they had simply been taught in an order that nobody's brain is built to absorb.

Strang inverted the entire curriculum.

He started with matrix multiplication. Something you can write down on paper. Something you can compute by hand. Something you can see. Then he showed his students that everything else in linear algebra eigenvectors, singular value decomposition, orthogonality, the four fundamental subspaces was just a different lens for understanding what the matrix was actually doing under the hood.

His rule was strict. If a student could not explain a concept using a concrete 3 by 3 example, that student did not actually understand the concept yet. The abstraction was supposed to come last, not first. The intuition was the foundation. The proofs were just confirmation that the intuition was correct.

The second thing Strang changed was the classroom itself. He said please and thank you to his students. Every single lecture. He paused mid-derivation to ask "am I OK?" to check if anyone was lost. He never used the word "obviously" or "trivially" because he knew exactly what those words do to a student who is one step behind. He treated 19-year-olds learning math for the first time the way he treated his own colleagues. With patience. With respect. With the assumption that they belonged in the room.

For 62 years.

The result is something that has never happened in the history of education. A single math professor became the default teacher of his subject for the entire planet.

Universities in India, China, Brazil, Nigeria, every country with a computer science department, started telling their own students to just watch Strang's lectures. The University of Illinois revised its linear algebra course to do almost no in-person lecturing. The reason was honest. The professor said they could not compete with the videos.

His final lecture was in May 2023.

The auditorium was packed with students who had never met him before. He walked to the chalkboard, taught for an hour, and at the end the entire room stood and applauded. He looked confused for a moment, like he genuinely did not understand why they were cheering. Then he smiled and waved them off and walked out.

His written comment under the YouTube video of that final lecture was four sentences long. He said teaching had been a wonderful life. He said he was grateful to everyone who saw the importance of linear algebra. He said the movement of teaching it well would continue because it was right.

That was it. No book promotion. No farewell speech. No legacy management.

The man whose teaching is the foundation of modern AI just thanked the audience and went home.

20 million views. Zero ego. The entire engine of the AI revolution sits on top of math that millions of people learned for free from one quiet professor in Cambridge.

The course is still on MIT OpenCourseWare. Every lecture, every problem set, every exam, every solution. Free.

The most important math course of the 21st century is sitting one click away from you. Most people will never open it.

FREE math book. "Differential Equations," by Paul Dawkins. (576 pages.)

Differential equations are important because they mathematically model how things change over time or space in the real world (such as population growth, disease spread, planetary orbits, electrical circuits, chemical reactions, heat flow, and fluid dynamics). They provide the essential language and tools for understanding dynamic systems in physics, engineering, biology, economics, and beyond, enabling predictions, simulations, and problem-solving that static algebra or calculus alone cannot achieve. Mastering them builds critical thinking for modeling complex phenomena and is foundational for careers in STEM fields.
