I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.
I found the closure I needed after I watched an interview where the creator of C++ said, attempting to learn everything is a waste of time. He said he always looks things up when needed..😂
The anti-memorization movement has left millions of students unable to think because every elementary operation consumes working memory.
For instance, solving equations feels smooth when basic arithmetic is automatic. It's like moving puzzle pieces around, and you just need to identify how they fit together.
But without automaticity on basic arithmetic, each puzzle piece is a heavy weight. You struggle to move them at all, much less figure out where they're supposed to go.
It’s the same all the way up the ladder of math: from arithmetic, to algebra, to calculus, to all sorts of university-level math and beyond.
Tonight officially proved why 1 World Cup doesn't make you the GOAT. Ferran Torres just picked up his first, meaning he has the exact same number of World Cups as Messi.
So would you say Ferran Torres is equal to Messi?
GOAT debate finally reopened 😂😂
Olise Assist Stats this season.

But he still has to break Messi's 34 Assists.

When people advise you to learn a skill and lock in for a period of time, please take it seriously.
I was struggling to get a business analyst job when I arrived in the UK.
Despite having business analysis experience before leaving Nigeria and graduating with a distinction in an MSc in Management of Business Information Technology from a UK university, I hit a roadblock with my job applications.
I wasn’t getting interview invitations.
That was when I discovered that UK organisations place a strong emphasis on relevant UK experience.
So, I enrolled in a training programme that provided both work experience and a professional reference.
We worked on a live project where I served as the business analyst. We also had a project manager, product owner, and a development team.
I put my heart and soul into that training, which lasted six months. Sometimes, we had brainstorming sessions in the wee hours of the night.
I was even awarded Best Business Analyst in the entire academy.
My hard work eventually paid off because I received four different interview invitations once I started applying for jobs.
In fact, I was the first person in my cohort to secure a job.
This happened just two weeks after completing the training.
So, what worked for me?
I locked in for those six months.
I attended every single training session, actively researched and deepened my business analysis knowledge, practised the core BA skills and applied myself as though my life depended on it.
I was also very prayerful during that period.
I promised myself that I wasn’t going back to the school job I was doing at the time, and I was determined not to break that resolve.
I paid the price, and by the grace of God, I got the result.
So yeah, when you hear people talking about locking in, please take it seriously.
Because it will change your life.
Do you see how after making this post in reference to Haaland(2023), names like Iniesta and Sneijder(2010), Lewandowski(2021), Van Dijk(2019) come up frequently?
The only time Ronaldo's name comes up controversially is the 2013 Balon D'or award, of which Ribery had a strong claim to, and should have won.
But 2010, 2019, 2021 and 2023?
Brings me to the quote "Once is a mistake, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern."
I don't know what to call a fourth.
Again, I'll bring up the Haaland's conversation. Because 2023 Balon D'or negates everything 2010 Balon D'or stood for.
If you believe the World cup run carries a heavy impact on the Balon D'or, then Messi winning has a strong case (just like Iniesta or Sneijder should have won in 2010), but if overall season and club football holds a massive impact, then Haaland should have won the 2023 Balon D'or( just like Messi did in 2010).
He was even dumped out of the UCL by Sneijder's Inter Milan, who went on to win the competition and a treble.
And even more crazy, Rodri's Balon D'or over Vini brought a new pattern to the game, "Class and fair play".
UEFA has been shitty and always shifts the goalposts when it suits their agenda.
“Scientists don’t want you to know” is a phrase that cracks me up always, cause if you actually meet a scientist, they will be shaking and crying like an overexcited golden retriever, desperate to tell you everything they know.
🚨 Mourinho on Portugal:
🗣️ Reporter:
“Have Portugal’s midfielders underperformed?”
🗣️ Mourinho:
“I watch Bernardo every week. I know what he looks like when he’s free to play. I watch Bruno every week. I know what he looks like. Vitinha. Joao Neves.
These players didn’t all forget how to play football at the same time. When your best players all stop looking like themselves… that’s usually where I stop looking at the players.”
THIS!!!!! I will write a thread on it. As a guy, your older sibling's success is a greater indicator of yours than many people think. My uncle Peter grew up with us and was my big brother. He made sure I did well in school. When he died at age 19 in 1981, I was lost for years.
My dentist friend was asked a fascinating question: "Why do humans have to brush every day, and why do our teeth still stain despite it, while animals never have to brush and their teeth are still white?"
Which single exposure carries the HIGHEST risk of getting HIV from an untreated positive source?
