“But he who knows all that can be known by intellectual energy is a God among men.”

This is well worth watching for the stunning cognitive dissonance. Imagine voting, very specifically, for the most horrible things, and then feigning surprise when every single one of those things come true on a predictable schedule.

“We might like Candace and Tucker, but they’re not changing our opinions; they’re just saying what a lot of us are thinking.” Christan Cooper — who voted for Trump — explains why she’s on a MAGA influencer unfollowing spree.

I have in my hands definitive evidence that my opponent has committed a world-historic evil. Evidence that, were it to be released to the public, would cause his supporters to abandon him and his entire world to crumble to dust. I therefore have no choice but to give in to every one of his demands

Got a new plan guys, let’s just use DeepSeek and anything else we can China until Trump self impeaches. Kill him with his kryptonite 🫡

Constantly claiming to be a victim is not a sign of virtue. It's a strategy for narcissists and psychopaths to get ahead. People who regularly signal victimhood are more willing to lie, cheat, and steal. Beware those who air personal grievances like every day is Festivus.

WE ARE STILL IN THIS. Wipe your tears. This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation. We do not give up. We run through the tape. Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉 Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

The hallmark of an open mind is refusing to let your ideas become your identity. If you define yourself by your opinions, questioning them is a threat to your integrity. If you see yourself as a curious person or a lifelong learner, changing your mind is a moment of growth.

In toxic cultures, people prove their intelligence by tearing others down. In healthy cultures, people use their intelligence to build others up. Knowledge and expertise are not weapons to wield. They're resources to share.

Impostor syndrome: “I don't know what I'm doing. It's only a matter of time until everyone finds out." Growth mindset: "I don't know what I'm doing yet. It's only a matter of time until I figure it out." The highest form of self-confidence is believing in your ability to learn.
