The modern world is managed by bureaucracies staffed with average people. Bureaucrats pile on rule after rule to keep the below-average from hurting themselves or others. Smart & capable individuals need to either opt-out of society or win big before the system suffocates them.

Persepsi kita terhadap waktu, menurut Einstein, tidak lebih dari “stubbornly persistent illusion”. Jangankan jam masuk sekolah di pagi hari, bahkan konsep tentang “present” (sekarang), dalam physics, tidak lebih dari sebuah ilusi. There is no universal “present time”. https://t.co/BwCf9piD2D

Don't let stories of "I succeeded because I persisted" fool you. Destiny won't automatically reward you just because you worked very hard. Think in bets.

Cold calling students is a surprisingly good idea: 👉Rather than making classes awkward, it leads to higher voluntary student participation from more students, and ultimately more learning. 🙋It increases voluntary participation by women, closing the gender gap in participation. https://t.co/CBnmVXtICL

I read SAPIENS by Noah Harari when it came out. The sections on economic history were so bad and out of date that I discounted the rest of the book. Now I know I was right to do so. https://t.co/2zAY94xcuQ
