I’ve gutted out 3 careers in “skilled labor” (a term I find problematic), each time working from the bottom entry level guy, to the guy in charge. In all three I’ve worked side by side with people who actually got degrees in that field.
I have also regretted not getting a degree for my entire adult life.
We’ve been “walking past” this since at least 1961. Americans excell at ignoring our check engine lights.
Wisdom is intelligence applied. Or perhaps, wisdom is the synthesis of intelligence.
Will Hunting starts out the movie with mad intelligence and little to no wisdom, and the movie is the story of him shifting from one to the other.
Indeed. I’m pretty sure whatever is being communicated is probably interesting, but I can barely grasp it.
Connection between the human development index (HDI) and total fertility rate (TFR)
The human development index has three components -GDP per capita is one of them, life expectancy is the second and the education level - the third. As all these factors are negatively correlated with fertility
When FBI agents raided Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan mansion upon his July 2019 arrest, they used a chainsaw to open a metal safe.
Inside, they found a pile of loose diamonds, cash, passports with the disgraced financier’s photo under different names, and several hard drives and CDs.
Because the agents didn’t have a warrant to seize the safe’s contents, they left them in the middle of the floor with the hard drives and binders piled on top, agent Kelly Maguire testified at the criminal trial of Epstein’s co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.
4 people who have seen the Epstein files say nothing suggests he was a spy
Five days later, when the FBI returned to the mansion with a new warrant in hand, the safe’s contents were gone.
Later that day, the items were handed over to the FBI in the form of two suitcases by Richard Kahn, Epstein’s longtime accountant.
…
“When the FBI broke into Epstein’s home, they broke down his door, so his door could not lock and the alarm could not set properly,” Kahn told the committee. “When Merwin, the house manager, was at the house, he realized that these items were not safe to be left alone.”
Kahn, who wasn’t in New York City at the time of the raid, said he took possession of the items “three or four days later.” He testified that he brought the two bags into his apartment and didn’t look inside them.
“I never touched them. I never opened them,” Kahn said. “I left them in my dining room.”
A day or two later, Dela Cruz called Kahn again to say the FBI was looking for the stuff they had left behind, Kahn told the committee.
That’s when he grabbed the bags from his home and brought them to the FBI agents at Epstein’s house, Kahn said.
So, days of unguarded hanging out on floors and in dining rooms unsupervised. Even if they really didn’t tamper with them, this feels like a means to deliberately create the option to claim they had been plausibly tampered with due to pants on head custody chain.

This “article” feels like an ad. It gushes about specs, but makes no mention of price or date of availability to peons without data centers.
Well they shot both Martin and Malcolm, and their methods have only become more sophisticated. So peaceful or not, its us versus billionaires, and believe it or not, you can’t just shoot the right guy and fix all the problems, ask Luigi.
So says our media anyhow. I guess the protesters that have been shot were playing baseball or some shit at the time.
I think it’s more like sending a second out of control train to catch the first one. There’s no doubt eah train will crash, and that it will be bad, but now we have more variables as to which will crash first and how bad, with the exciting new possibility of each making each other worse than they would have been.
It’s a two birds situation. He’s jealous other people still get through. But more importantly he’s trying to provoke an attack on our ships to try and sway public opinion. I would love to be wrong.
