I’ve seen similar things in my experience, both in education and the professional world. It ultimately impairs the productivity of society because it disincentivizes merit. Not to mention, it rewards racism and other factors that can lead to a less safe society as well. In the end, it’s a suicidal choice to make because it rots the institution from the inside out by prioritizing the “victim” over merit. Because of the negative long-term impact of these DEI-related policies, it makes me wonder if the decisions were made out of ignorance or malice. Anyways, I’ve rambled because I’m still coming to terms with the state of things and I’d rather try to paint a path forward for myself that is optimistic and positive. So far, I paint these happenings as the cyclical nature of mankind, and that without hard times, we forget why things should be a certain way: merit-based, faith-based, respecting tradition, sound money, etc. We just happen to find ourselves at a point in history where these lessons were lost, and we need to start to rebuild from the ground up. It’s not exactly fun, but if I can be grateful for these lessons, I can reframe how they impact my life. Still a work in progress.

Wow, were they truly that overt about their prejudice? Or was it under the guise of DEI?

Interesting idea that I think would be very conducive to my learning style as well. I remember hearing that UT Austin was rethinking some aspects of university education. I wonder if they have explored ideas like this.

Made some caramel corn with tn and it was really good. Ghee is my new go-to for popcorn - I like it better than coconut oil. Now I just need a new mix for creating caramel corn. Glaze Pop has terrible ingredients.

Remember that good mental hygiene is required for perceiving new knowledge. Fear and hate mongering on social media is an attack vector on your transcendence.

Well said, and great points. I forgot bitcoiners have played out every game theory scenario at this point 😂 It seems like they might try to recapitalize on bitcoin if they can KYC enough of it. Maybe gold but I feel like that ship has sailed.

I wonder if the Fed will cause another deflationary bust like they did with the Great Depression. We all think that all signs point to inflation, but if they really want to fight Bitcoin, I think that’d be a great attack vector if it’s possible to pull off.

Love to hear it! I’ve found personally that I get most hydrated when I drink milk (organic, grass fed) or bone broth (organic, ideally from beef).

I haven’t done research on the quality of these oysters, but Whole Foods has a deal every Friday where you can get 12 unshucked oysters for $12. It’s kinda fun learning how to shuck them and eating them out of the shell.

Wisdom from God and elders >>> wisdom that we think we have ourselves
