When girls were behind in school, society asked, "What's wrong with the system?" and made reforms. Now, as boys have fallen behind, people ask, "What's wrong with boys?" Maybe it’s not them, but us! Education systems must adapt for our boys too, with hands-on learning, more male

One of the most predictable disasters in recent memory. NYC effectively banned short-term rentals like Airbnb—and now working-class people need to take out a second mortgage just to spend a weekend there. All in the name of ~helping.~ Total economic illiteracy.

"78% of residents believe New York City’s law banning short-term rentals, such as Airbnbs, should be revisited or are open to changing it." This new poll shows what NYC really thinks. It's clear Intro 1107 is the answer. amny.com/news/poll-oppo…

Somewhere last night in New York City, a single mother and her children slept at a homeless shelter because you, assemblyman Zohran Kwame Mamdani are occupying her rent controlled apartment. You grew up rich and married an even wealthier woman. You’ve had weddings on 3 continents.

Cuomo does have a point: it is grubby, self entitled, corrupt behavior to occupy a rent controlled apartment when you’re a rich kid whose parents have a spare luxury apartment in Chelsea on hand. It’s this sort of thing that people immediately recognize in Mamdani and makes him

Cuomo to Mamdani: "You grew up rich and married an even wealthier woman... Today, I am calling on you to move out immediately and give your [rent controlled apartment] back to an unhoused family who need it... Time to move out."

A BEST CASE SCENARIO FOR AI? The Doomer narratives were wrong. Predicated on a “rapid take-off” to AGI, they predicted that the leading AI model would use its intelligence to self-improve, leaving others in the dust, and quickly achieving a godlike superintelligence. Instead, we

Every tech bubble is initially pumped by some extraneous source of liquidity poured into unsustainable growth: -Web2 consumer used VC for paid ads growth to pump MAUs -Crypto used retail tokens to pump user rewards to inflate usage and hence the token -AI is using VC (and

The NYC mayoral election is a slow-moving, soon-to-be-accelerating train wreck. With Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams both still in the race and apparently planning to stay in the race until the end, Zohran Kwame Mamdani is a near certain winner. Mayor Adams or Cuomo can win the

The United States is 3 human lifetimes old. In those short years we invented the light bulb, the telephone, the airplane, the transistor and the internet. We turned a few wooded colonies into the most powerful nation in the history of the world.
