Grit ≠ Talent.
After two decades of research, we know that the correlation between grit and any measure of talent is about zero.
It's passion and perseverance that make super achievers.
It has been 7 years since the brutal crackdown on the anti-Russian protest held in Tbilisi on June 20, 2019. Today's march was dedicated to commemorating that day.
We would also like to remind you that protests are still being held in Tbilisi every day.

🚨Why don’t we see any Muslims girls in the rape statistics?
Because it’s a rape jihad targeting non-Muslim girls.
Muslim men don’t rape their own because that would be haram — an offense to Allah.
Honored to see Georgia’s Lead Free Future initiative discussed in a Harvard course on social change, led by Ambassador Power and Professor Sunstein. This effort helped unlock hundreds of millions to support similar programs in more than 20 countries https://t.co/PaVzFdt9t8
JUST IN: the Patriarch of Georgia Ilia II passes away at age 93.
His passing is widely expected to have a major impact on not just the Church of Georgia, but the politics in Georgia.
Ilia II was officially installed as the Patriarch on December 25, 1977.
In recent years, the Church saw significant drop in popularity, in part due to corruption scandals, but Patriarch Ilia II personally remained almost above any criticism.
It is yet unclear how the Church, widely rumoured to be battling numerous internal struggles, will manage the post-Ilia II era, and what this means for the Georgian Dream regime which has greatly benefited from the Church's support.
My condolences. He for sure will be greatly mourned.
One of the most decisive, most effective & one of the shortest speeches of all time. & one that perfectly suited the short attention spans and digital clip discourse of the age.

Your determination, dignity, and love for freedom are an inspiration to the world. 🇬🇪
Students are becoming more and more reliant on computers and AIs to do the hard work for them. What happens when we abdicate all our decision-making to AIs? How do we teach humans how to think?
