Women don’t build, men do, but move in, late; then they’re victims.
When women suddenly infiltrate a formerly male space, watch out.

Advances, in any field, come from fringe rebels, not centrist conformists.

As someone with a background in Wall Street and with friends still there, you are spot on re why the industry LOVES this type of student. Smart, pedigree-obsessed conformists, with a 16 yr track record of doing “whatever it takes” to please their betters.

Two things I've noticed in life. 1. Highly intelligent people often have zero common sense 2. Being unusually intelligent often leads to a high level of mental illness. Very smart people are often also very sensitive.

Of the 50-people most responsible for the Financial Crisis, there are 57 Ivy League degrees, including 28 from Harvard. The first thing they don't teach you at these schools? How to admit a mistake. It explains much of what is going on right now.

It’s interesting that people believe raising taxes will help the general public. The government gave out $1,400 to everyone and then costs went up 20% (roughly $10,000 per year) Why is there an assumption the tax money will be used intelligently?

You have to become an extremely clear communicator If people don’t understand it quickly they assume *you* are dumb. Why? Average people think they are smart so if they don’t get it fast, they don’t blame themselves. They blame you.

the days of usenet, irc, the web...even email (w PGP)...were amazing. centralizing discovery and identity into corporations really damaged the internet. I realize I'm partially to blame, and regret it.

It is not thy country. It is their country.

Before it was known as the Emergencies Act, it was known as the War Measures Act, thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/e…, passed by the Parliament of Canada after the beginning of WWI, to maintain security during war, invasion, and insurrection, and it has been abused since its inception.
You suspended Parliament on a false pretence to avoid debating your unnecessary martial law imposed because of an imagined emergency @JustinTrudeau
Illegal blockades and occupations are not peaceful protests – they’re a threat to jobs and communities, and they cannot continue. In the House of Commons earlier today, I joined Members of Parliament to speak about that and about the need to invoke the Emergencies Act.

...There is ample reason to question the use of emergency powers, which were designed to be used when existing powers are insufficient. There are ample powers to clear roads and Trudeau's heavy-handed measures are threatening core civil liberties. jonathanturley.org/2022/02/1…

The House of Commons just postponed debating Trudeau's emergency powers because he is using his emergency powers near the Parliament to clear protesters. toronto.ctvnews.ca/house-of-… It is like postponing a war powers vote because there is a war going on. jonathanturley.org/2022/02/1…

Effeminate men do not belong in positions of authority–not over family, an institution, nor a country.
Justin Trudeau is proof that very weak men with power are very dangerous.
The cancer of #feminism lost the war in #Afghanistan for both USSR and USA since feminism destroys nations, not build them. Afghanistan Study Group Final Report: usip.org/sites/default/files… Gender Equality Lessons from the U.S. Experience in Afghanistan: sigar.mil/pdf/lessonslearned…
New report from the US gov on gender equality in Afghanistan. What are we still doing in Afghanistan, you ask? US has spent $787 million on gender programs, not including gender included in other programs. Hope to challenge stereotypes and patriarchy 1/n usip.org/sites/default/files…
Of all ignorance, the ignorance of the educated is the most dangerous. Not only are educated people likely to have more influence, they are the last people to suspect that they don't know what they are talking about when they go outside their narrow fields.
