Economics is fundamentally political. We cannot escape this fact. The so-called “free market” is constructed by laws, maintained by institutions, and enforced by states. The choice between austerity and stimulus reflects deeper beliefs about responsibility, fairness, and social obligation. The mandates of central banks are products of political decisions. The emphasis placed on price stability in Western central banks rather than, say, regulating private finance reflects value judgments as well as political lobbying. One of the biggest differences between mainstream economics and heterodox economics is that the former often disguises political choices as technical ones. Economics has never been, and never will be, a value-free science, no matter how much today's mainstream economics tries to present it that way. At its core, economics is shaped by ideologies, human morality, competing interests, social norms, and political priorities. Pretending otherwise does not make economics more rigorous. It just makes it more dangerous.

Day after day, our 10-day North West tour is bringing us face-to-face with the cost of poor governance. From the conditions at Thipanyane Primary School to communities battling failing services and joblessness, the need for change is undeniable. North West deserves better. 💚

My @grok @bot found a clinical trial for my stage 4 lung cancer an hour from my house. I never would have known about it on my own. I'd been interested in a trial for a new ALK drug called TRI-611, but not if it meant flying across the country over and over. In September the trial added the University of Cincinnati as a site, and my bot caught the change. It also flagged an eligibility question for me to take to my oncologist. Before this I was passive. Maybe I'd stumble on something on X, maybe my oncologist would mention something (he hasn't), and my ALK+ patient group on Facebook was probably the most reliable source. Nothing was guaranteed, and I definitely wasn't hearing about trials adding new locations. Now it checks for me every morning, and I'm tracking more than 25 options, from personalized vaccines to next-gen ALK drugs, sorted by how relevant they are to me and when they'd make sense. The whole game is curation...the more it knows about your diagnosis, the more it finds signal instead of noise. 1. Teach it your diagnosis. Mine knows my cancer type, stage, every treatment I've had, my biomarkers, and how far I'm willing to travel. Trials include or exclude people based on exactly these things. 2. Tell it what to do. Mine checks clinical trial listings, FDA decisions, conference abstracts and company news, compares it all against the day before, and only pings me when something new and sourced shows up. 3. Review what it finds. I read the source, then run it past Grok, which both know my history, to decide whether it's useful and when. Then it goes into my tracker in Notion (below). More on that part in another post soon. It gives me hope, too. Even when I'm not eligible, seeing new companies form and new trials open every week reminds me how fast this field is moving. I turned my setup into a template so any patient or caregiver can build their own. It asks about the diagnosis, travel limits, and where to keep results, then builds the watch around the answers: x.ai/bot Thank you @SpaceXSI @elonmusk for building this.

Infrastructure investment beyond the imagination of Verwoerd and Pretoria. What does it mean for the engineering sector beyond being over glorified project managers to the Chinese. The skillset need to remain in the continent so we can maintain and scale the infrastructure

The majority of illegal immigrants in the country are not asylum seekers but socio-economic immigrants. No country in the world, except South Africa, accepts socio-economic immigrants who pose various domestic socio economic risks without the required papers.

‼️@Our_DA Minister of Hoke Affairs @Leon_Schreib must truthfully account to the South African people. If officials defied him, heads must roll. Was it DDG Mavuso? If so, what will you do? Who signed the issued directive? Who withdrew it? Parliament must act soon‼️

Rwanda Sports Minister.... She gets it. Listen carefully to what she says at the end ."...And Rwanda has always been positioning itself to tap into those opportunities". Remember what they did with Arsenal. It's not a fluke, it's a destination strategy. This is what smart destinations do...on the daily. Well done Minister. Congratulations Rwanda #VisitRwanda #SportsTourism – at Sandton, South Africa
