Psychiatrist George Vaillant ran the study for decades.

When asked what 80 years of data taught him about living longer, he gave a one sentence answer:

"The only thing that really matters in life is your relationships with other people."

“While waiting to board our plane, my daughter was being her usual inquisitive self wanting to meet and say “hi” to everyone she could, until she walked up on this man.

He reached out and asked if she wanted to sit with him. He pulled out his tablet and showed her how to draw with it, they watched cartoons together, and she offered him snacks.

This wasn’t a short little exchange, this was 45 minutes. Watching them in that moment, I couldn’t help but think, different genders, different races, different generations, and the best of friends. This is the world I want for her.

In a country that is continuously fed that it’s so deeply divided, I want her life to be filled with moments like this.

Joseph, thank you for showing my daughter what kindness and compassion looks like. Continue to shine your light in the world.”

Four years ago today, I defended my dissertation…

I’ve never said this publicly……

My degree… my dissertation…
are still sitting in a drawer next to my bed—sealed.

I haven’t opened them yet.

Not because I don’t care…

But because I’m not ready to face what it took to get there:

My pops was in prison.
I lived in 26 places before I was 16.
I missed 60–90 days of school from 4th–9th grade.
I dropped out of high school.
My best friend was killed.

But then…

I gave my life to Jesus.
Went back to school.
Started turning things around.
Struggled to break a lot of bad habits.
Had a teacher who believed in me.
Made it to UC Berkeley.
Struggled to read.
Struggled to write.
Almost quit.

Again.

But I kept fighting.

Against the odds.

To do something nobody in my family had ever done.
Something only about 1 percent of the population has done.
Something less than half of one percent of Black men have done.
I actually did something that once felt impossible.

As I process what it took to get here, I’m realizing…
It has something to do with this:

“But God chose the foolish things of the world to confound the wise;
God chose the weak things of the world to confound the strong.” —1 Corinthians 1:27

I don’t fully understand it…

But I believe it’s grace.

One day… I’ll open those envelopes.

Until then, I’m giving thanks for the blessing of right now…

For my wife, my kids, my mentors, and my friends…

For the ways God has used them to help me heal, grow, and make my joy complete.

Thanks for reading.

One of the unlikely ones God chose to use,

Elon Musk thinks the entire education system is built on a broken assumption.

That every student should learn the same thing. At the same speed. In the same order. At the same time.

Musk: “Everyone goes through from like 5th grade to 6th grade to 7th grade like it’s an assembly line. But people are not objects on an assembly line.”

The model was designed for a factory economy. Standardized inputs. Predictable outputs.

That economy is gone. The assembly line is gone.

But the education system still runs on its logic.

A student who masters algebra in two weeks sits through eight more weeks because the calendar says so. A student who struggles gets dragged forward because the schedule doesn’t wait.

Neither is being served. Both are being processed.

Musk: “Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject.”

AI doesn’t teach a classroom. It teaches a student.

One at a time. Every time.

It skips what a student already knows. It finds where they’re stuck and approaches it from a different angle.

It adjusts in real time. Not at the end of a semester when the damage is already done.

A student obsessed with basketball learns fractions through shooting percentages. A student who builds in Minecraft learns geometry through architecture.

The subject doesn’t change. The entry point does.

No teacher with thirty students can do this. Not because they lack skill.

Because the math doesn’t work.

AI doesn’t have that constraint.

Musk: “You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling.”

The brain isn’t broken. The format is.

Kids learn complex systems and strategic thinking for hours voluntarily. Then walk into a classroom and can’t focus for twenty minutes.

That’s not a discipline problem. That’s a design problem.

Musk: “A university education is often unnecessary. You probably learn the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates.”

Four years. Six figures of debt.

And the real value comes from the people sitting next to you. Not the institution charging you.

The degree doesn’t certify knowledge. It certifies endurance.

Musk: “If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college.”

The system was built to train employees. If you’re not trying to be one, it has nothing left to offer you.

Every lecture. Every textbook. Every curriculum. Now available instantly. Personalized to any learner. Adapted to any pace.

The question isn’t whether the old model survives.

It’s how long we keep forcing students through it while the replacement already exists.

when spacex was getting started, the first and last men to walk on the moon testified before congress against it.

gene cernan told congress commercial space companies "do not yet know what they don't know."

he said the boeings and lockheed martins were "the folks who have been working on everything we've done for the last 50 years. they know how it can be done."

neil armstrong said he was "not confident" the newcomers could achieve their goals.

together with jim lovell they warned it would put america on "a long downward slide to mediocrity."

spacex now launches more rockets than every country on earth combined.

the experts will always tell you it can't be done. build it anyway!

I love how much these astronauts appreciate the gift they have been given (and obviously worked incredibly hard to be in such a position).

But they really appreciate it, which is inspiring.

For decades, a racist equation was quietly built into the US medical system. The eGFR—a formula used to measure kidney function—automatically inflated scores for Black patients based on the false assumption that Black people have more muscle mass.

This made their kidneys appear healthier than they actually were, delaying diagnosis, treatment, and access to life-saving transplants, costing many their lives while waiting. Dr. Joel Bervell, a Ghanaian-American doctor, used his social media platform to expose this dangerous racial bias in medicine, sparking a nationwide conversation that led to the equation being changed in 2022.

Black patients’ wait times were recalculated, and 21,000 lives were saved as a result.

Happy Birthday to Dr. King, one of our most foremost civic leaders & fearless American heroes!

“No other ethnic group has been a slave on American soil. That is one thing that other immigrant groups hadn’t had to face.

The other thing is that the color became a stigma. American society has made the Negr0’s color a stigma, and that can never be overlooked.”

- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone was tased on January 6th until he went into cardiac arrest and his heart stopped. Donald Trump pardoned his assaulters and called them “patriots.”

RETWEET if you stand with Officer Fanone against Trump and the GOP!
