Elon Musk just put a price tag on obedience. It costs $200,000.
Musk: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free.”
Every lecture. Every textbook. Every framework ever written. Free on any screen in any country right now. The entire knowledge monopoly collapsed in a decade. Nobody updated the price tag.
Musk: “Colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores. But they’re not for learning.”
Strip the ivy and the branding. What’s underneath is a four-year obedience trial. Can this person follow instructions on a schedule without asking why.
Musk: “There is a value that colleges have, which is seeing whether somebody can work hard at something, including a bunch of annoying homework assignments, and still do their homework assignments.”
That is the entire six-figure value proposition. Not what you know. Not what you can build. Whether you can be managed. The establishment doesn’t need you educated. It needs you domesticated.
Musk: “If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability. I don’t consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability.”
The system doesn’t produce exceptional. It produces manageable. It takes the most creative years of your life and teaches you to wait for instructions. That is not education. That is containment.
Musk: “Gates is a pretty smart guy, he dropped out. Jobs is pretty smart, he dropped out. Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out.”
They didn’t leave because they couldn’t keep up. They left because the ceiling was underground.
8 billion people now carry the same library in their pocket. The one these institutions charged a lifetime of debt to access.
The only product the university still sells is the belief that you need one.
65 players in the WC were born in the Netherlands. 25 play for the country, 25 Curacao, 6 Cape Verde, 3 Morocco and Turkey, and 1 each Ghana, New Zealand and the US (Sergino Dest).
Netherlands is just 0.2% of world population but birthplace of 5.2% of WC players.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz just called the EU a "complete failure" in front of global elites by stating, "Germany & Europe have wasted incredible potential. We have become the world champion of over-regulation & zero growth."
In der USA sind die meisten Menschen enthusiastisch.
In Europa werde ich beschimpft, Leute schreien REGULIERUNG und VERANTWORTUNG.
Und wenn ich wirklich hier eine Firma baue dann kann ich mich mit Themen wie Investitionsschutzgesetz, Mitarbeiterbeteiligung und lähmenden Arbeitsregulierungen abkämpfen. Bei OAI arbeiten die meisten Leute 6-7 Tage die Woche und werden depentsprechend bezahlt. Be uns ist das illegal.
@paulvanderzwaan Je bent nog niet weg en top dat je me destijds bij onze O19 hebt geplaatst. Leukste voetbal ervaring sinds dat ik het spel zelf nog speelde.
I dream of a Europe where entrepreneurs feel valued again.
Where regulations enable innovation instead of killing it.
Where the next OpenAI or DeepMind is born in Berlin, Paris, or Amsterdam.
It's possible. But first, we need to wake up.
@elonmusk wen DOGE EU?

Quick JO13-1 speelde voor de beker tegen AZ JO13-1. Eindstand 1-1 en Adam Koubia schiet de beslissende strafschop binnen. Quick wint na strafschoppen (5-4)
Volgens de wethouder moet elke monteur, loodgieter, elektricien en bouwvakker maar even z'n bus vol gereedschap overladen in een ‘klushub’. Zoiets bedenk je alleen vanuit een ivoren toren zonder zelf ooit echt werk te hebben gedaan. Stop met deze pesterijen van ondernemers, Amsterdammers gaan uiteindelijk een hoge prijs betalen voor deze groene koortsdroom.
A football penalty is an 80 per cent goal chance. Goalkeepers already have odds stacked against them. It is unfair and wrong that the laws punish goalkeepers moving fractionally early off the line, but allow Lewandowski-style stuttered, stop-start run-ups. Stop both or neither.
