   I’m sympathetic to this argument. But I wonder: Is there any evidence that Tiktok is being used by CCP to hurt USA? I would argue we should ban them simply cause they ban Facebook etc. Ie tit for tat, be nice to those who are nice to

   I think everyone knows at some level that the cookbook for the success you highlight is correct and works, as south and eastern asians have demonstrated so systematically. Yet, sadly, many groups avoid it… I think often for intentionally s

   I don’t believe the average western person would care at all if they could afford fewer cheap products. Corporate profits would certainly go down.

   I recently completed a task of high importance to me after a few months of ~intense effort. Within a day of having finished I was stressing over a new task of little relative importance, but next on my list.

    I, for one, would like to state that I’m not impressed by the five month study period.

    If we don’t stratify, is the avg IQ not by def 100? Or rather… what sets the def of 100?

    Thanks that makes sense. What I was hoping to see was links to what specifically they did that was not smart. Eg did they really just buy a lot of bonds, not spacing it out?

    Can anyone provide a link that carefully outlines this? Eg did they just recently buy a ton of ten year bonds? That would sound nuts as everyone knows rates are rising right now. Would love to see details.

    Agree. A lot of the frustration and confusion here seems to be due to assuming these universities should just serve the smartest kids. The truth is that in practice they provide credentials for both elites and experts, and the former need

    Agree, when school is there just to mark elite status. For those pursuing expertise though, schools can provide a lot of value through offering access to others with talent and to some degree infrastructure. That these schools serve both se
