  11. Musk's Five Accomplishments: 1. Blew up another rocket, better than a fireworks show. 2. Appeared on Joe Rogan. 3. Appeared at President Trump's speech to a joint session of Congress. 4. Cleaned up the wall of receipts proclaiming DOGE savings, to make sure it's accurate. 5. Fired and rehired the appropriate federal agency staff to get their attention and make them more efficient.

Parents who would like to see more initiative and resilience in their adult kids are constrained to finance them. I can blame them only a little, if at all. I'd do the same, tbh, and set some time limits or stuff like that. Having said that, I find her insufferable.

  78. Well, thanks for proving you have exactly the politicians you deserve. Russia, whether Soviet or post-Soviet, is looking better every day, and from the looks of things (BRICS, etc.), most of the world agrees. The 401k has existed since 1978 -- two generations. Did you know that 90%+ of retirees don't have enough money to retire on their 401k alone? How is that a plan?

  80. Sorry, the COO is the coward. He doesn't believe in free speech. He believes in his paycheck. That is why he can say NOTHING of any importance whatsoever. Did you hear a defense of freedom of speech? Yeah, me neither. It's not clear to me why Davidai was wrong to confront this guy. Free speech for this guy, too. (I saw no intimidation in the video clips, but considering his antics, who knows?) No, "stalking" a top-level university administrator with a videocam in a public place that I assume is a designated free speech forum is FINE BY ME. Not above his paygrade. He's supposed to be able to TALK.

  81. And this is over visas. Suppose someone says something real about agency capture? Government contracts? Monopolies? . . . TAXES?

  85. First of all, how many people do you imagine that is? Perhaps 1 or 2% of households headed by a person age 65 or older -- at best. Do you think that would solve an otherwise "insoluable" problem? The 401k has existed for about two generations now, and at best 10% can fund their own retirement with their 401k -- probably an overestimate. How is that a plan? Moreover, markets are volatile. Someone age 80 could make a grave miscalculation and suddenly not have the means to maintain themselves. Universal programs that recognize the facts about the human condition have the most support for a reason.

  93. @leoantonio  I'm not clear on what institutions he believes "made this country great." As for all the pseudo-progressive NewSpeak/New Chatter, it serves as some sort of major distraction, to the benefit of the same class. It reminds me of the way "affirmative action" in Ivy League admissions was used as a fig leaf for legacy/special development admissions, which may account for how roughly half of the seats in the freshman class are allocated. We got a glimpse behind the curtain concerning all that, at Harvard, when two billionaires tussled over who would be university president. Ackman won over Pritzker.

  97. @louurich9087  The problem with the trades is having to save like crazy, because you might have to retire 10 to 15 years before everyone else, when the reality for most people is having to work until 70, 72. Liberal Arts at least gives you a foundation so that you can retool later. As for what most people study, well . . . the most common degree is in Business, and has been for about 35 years, if not longer. Next come the Health Sciences, with Nursing on top. What did you think people were studying? College is trade school for most people. As for a Bachelor's in Business, unless a person gets a CPA or takes advanced mathematics and finance, that is a useless degree -- apart from signaling docility. An English major with a calculus sequence and a minor in Economics will get into law school or a top MBA program first. Most people in liberal arts are planning to get an advanced degree, of which there are many besides MD, JD, MBA, or PhD: MSW, MFA, MPA, MPH, MLS, DPsy in clinical psychology, school psychology, etc., and a bunch more I can't remember. Still, basically agreeing with you. Of course STEM ebbs and flows, and for exactly the reason you said.

  104. ​@jmsblk1 In a world where everyone on a college campus has a video recording device, why has no one produced a single video of the alleged antisemitic attacks he describes? Glenn Greenwald has repeatedly called for such videos, with the promise that he would air them. No one has taken him up on it. Why has no one been arrested for these supposed assaults that Murray insists are occurring everywhere? We do have laws against "hate crimes" (the crime being, for example, an assault, while the motive leads to enhanced penalties). On the other hand, ICJ and ICC have said that there is an objective risk of geno--de in Gaza, and have documented these concerns.

  106. ​@Lanefasts But I believe in free speech for all, which Davidai, of course, does not. But does the COO? I don't think filming an administrator in a public place in broad daylight, in what appears to be a designated free speech forum, is "harassment." Did you hear the COO give a spirited defense of the First Amendment? Did you hear him offer to meet with Davidai at another time? Did you hear him warn Davidai that if he persisted, it would be considered harassment? Yeah, neither did I. The big millionaire administrator can't speak up for free speech in a free-speech forum.

  109. @jamesgarvey8402  The technical reason Social Security is not a "Ponzi scheme" is that the new dollars coming in are from payroll taxes on salaries that generally keep pace with the overall economy (and when they don't, younger people still in the labor force usually have options), whereas the payouts do not keep pace with real inflation. Social Security benefits are never raised to account for the full impact of inflation. Hence, the benefits depend on the salary you earned pre-inflation, for the rest of your life, and the only sure way to rectify that is to return to work -- which means you contribute to the system again. That's not a Ponzi scheme. What Social Security is dependent on is adequate revenues -- just like police, fire, public education, DOD, DHS, and well-maintained bridges and highways. And what you need to worry about is whether the continued growth of the stock market is dependent on privatizing Social Security and Medicare.

We don't spell out all our laws in advance like that, and then have to scrap the Constitution and start over every 50 years.

  133. Interesting. I would tend to agree. Police protection as a right degrades the notion of rights. Fire protection as a right degrades the notion of rights. A military force to protect our borders isn't anyone's right. It's enslavement of our young adults to do something we want done but refuse to do for ourselves, and it degrades the notion of rights. I'm starting to like this.

  134. ​@johnstrawb3521 That would be rare but not impossible: someone with a photographic memory, and exceptional visual pattern recognition and fine motor skills could be outstanding. But that's not primarily "due to education." It is due in large part to talent. Discursive ability is rewarded at university, but it has less bearing on success as a heart surgeon than these talents do, by far.

  180. Billionaires spend more on lobbying and on elections than they spend on taxes. They get the laws they want. We don't.

Glenn Greenwald has repeatedly called for such videos, with the promise that he would air them on his program. No one has taken him up on it. Why has no one been arrested for these supposed assaults that Murray insists are occurring everywhere? We do have laws against "hate crimes" (the crime being, for example, an assault, while the motive leads to enhanced penalties). Major billionaires have promised that no one who participated in perfectly legal demonstrations would never have a good job. If that kind of power of surveillance exists, then no one would miss an actual crime -- although in the nighttime attack on a pro-Palestinian encampment at UCLA, the police stood down. On the other hand, ICJ and ICC have said that there is an objective risk of geno--de in Gaza, and have documented these concerns.

Hence, the benefits depend on the salary you earned pre-inflation, for the rest of your life, and the only sure way to rectify that is to return to work. That's not a Ponzi scheme. You're welcome.

  304. @denverlove  Well, when I was in the French system, all admissions testing was achievement-based, and aptitude/IQ testing for admission to any program was against the law. Each diploma gave you a right of access to the next level. Their production of world-class writers, philosophers, Fields medalists, filmmakers, etc., relative to their population is either the highest in the world or close. The Ministry of Education set the standards. It's uncanny how many of our great writers lived there, too. They have that certain something. I don't know how they're doing now, since "modernizing." In other words, they started copying us. So far, the results in general are meager, but some good stuff is emerging. I think. I don't know how Oxford/Cambridge run admissions, but I think their tutorial system is the best education in the world. I also think that any system that throws you into practicums that make you apply what you've just learned is better in principle than studying, writing papers, and taking tests. That's why lab sciences should be part of every degree. I think our system for teaching lab sciences is the best -- or was? That was our thing. And it can't happen online or with AI simulations. Also, do any of us really know what Russia, China, and India are doing? We hear a soundbite now and then.
