While there’s a lot being written about the Supreme Court decisions on tariffs, I wanted to take a moment to step back and clearly lay out my thoughts on them.

Many people think of tariffs as purely disruptive, but throughout history, they’ve been a primary source of government revenue.

In an ideal world, you wouldn’t have tariffs — each country would make and trade the things they are capable of producing efficiently. But as the world becomes increasingly fragmented, we have to look beyond pure economic efficiency and consider the necessity of self-sufficiency.

For that reason, tariffs are anything but simple. To understand who truly benefits and who pays the price, you have to look at the full system.

Andrew Huberman shares a simple, science-backed trick to fall asleep faster when your mind races or you can't stop noticing your body position:

Close your eyes and do slow, deliberate eye movements to shut down proprioception (body awareness) and signal your brain it's time to transition into sleep.

Try this tonight (takes ~1–2 minutes):

- Slowly move eyes left → right (a few times)

- Then counterclockwise circle → clockwise circle
Look up → down

- Gently attempt to look toward the bridge of your nose (faux cross-eyed)

- Finish with a long exhale to slow heart rate

Why it works: Eye movements coordinate with your vestibular system & cerebellum to mimic the natural forgetting of body position that happens at sleep onset (similar to slow rocking or boat motion calming the brain). It gives your racing mind something active to focus on instead of "just relax."

Huberman: "Many people find it helps them fall asleep quickly—it's not kooky; it's physiology."

No apps, no gadgets—just your eyes. Game-changer for insomniacs or restless nights. Try it & report back.

Investment has fallen by half under this Liberal government. And fallen further since Carney was elected promising to “invest more." That means lower wages and higher prices.

But there is hope. My plan ends capital gains tax on reinvestments in Canada. Rocket fuel for our economy.

With hundreds of billions for housing, mines, pipelines, ports, technology, and other high-wage projects that drive up take-home pay.

My wife, daughter, and I stayed at an @Airbnb in NYC in November. Perfectly normal stay. Nothing happened. When we left, the owner said there was a small stain on the hardwood floor he couldn't clean and said it took him $7500 to fix, including literally replacing floorboards. We know nothing about this, saw nothing, looks totally unfamiliar. Feels like insurance fraud, or something? AirBNB took his side because we couldn't provide a picture of the floor at the exact minute we walked out the door. Are you kidding me? Has anyone else had an experience with AirBNB like this? Any attorneys who know how to deal with this sort of absurd claim?

OK, science geeks. Sex testing and sport.

There are many people spreading misinformation about the reliability of sex testing, repeating arguments made for its abolition some 25 years ago.

I don’t know if they have noticed that we’ve undergone something of a genetics revolution over the past few decades 😀

To get rich, do work where you get paid in proportion to the number of customers you satisfy instead of the number of hours you work. Not all work of this kind will make you rich, but nearly all work that can make you rich is of this kind.
