The average Homeschooler is far more elite than a current Stanford student

100% true. These are the next elite minds in America.
BTW many homeschoolers are reading these books in 6-7th grade.
Check out the year 1 veritas curriculum and reading list :

No, America. Your best and brightest are no longer at Harvard, Yale, Stanford and the like.
Your best and brightest are kids like my tenth graders coming up through mission-aligned classical schools with teachers who know American kids in particular hunger for that which is True, Good, and Beautiful and are willing to GRIND for it, as Americans do.
The kids are here, in every town and city. We can all help build them.
This is what my tenth graders read this year:
The Symposium
The Apology
The Phaedo
The Death of Ivan Ilych
1984
Brave New World
The New Organon
The New Atlantis
Gulliver’s Travels
The Abolition of Man
Beowulf
The Canterbury Tales
Purgatorio
Inferno
King Lear
Pride and Prejudice
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Hiring a recent Stanford grad means you're hiring a problem
BREAKING: Stanford University graduates staged a walkout during Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s keynote address at commencement Sunday.
The walkout was organized by Students for Justice in Palestine and No Tech for Apartheid as a protest against Google’s contracts with the IDF, Dept. of Homeland Security, and ICE.

This is not the brag that he thinks it is
It’s evidence of rampant grade inflation
Fake academia is destroying actual learning.
9 of 10 admitted students at UVA got straight As in high school. Only 3% had less than a 3.75.

The actually smart kids have no interest in attending these intellectual black holes
Smart kids actually want to learn

I know so many extremely smart kids who would literally chop off an arm and a leg to attend Stanford.
Why doesn’t the university admit those students over these ungrateful losers?

Stanford grads walk out as Google CEO Sundar Pichai takes the stage as commencement speaker. No mention of AI, unlike other uni speakers getting booed down this year. Story for @sfgate shortly

We’re about to see how slow the global economy really is based on how low the demand for oil is.
Recall that before the Iran war oil was <$60 barrel.

As an employer, the right answer to this question is it’s the hiring manager’s fault for selecting the wrong person.
If someone doesn’t work out in first six months, they were the wrong person from day one
Bad hire

"Researchers around the world are grappling with a vexing problem: why are so many young people developing cancers once considered the purview of old age?
The question was prominent at two of the world’s largest cancer meetings this year, and hypotheses abounded. Ultra-processed foods, obesity, microbial toxins and agricultural chemicals were all considered. But a clear answer remained elusive."
at what point are they finally going to look at the obvious thing here?

“The response to speaking the truth at so-called elite universities, including my own @Stanford, was direct censorship, and it was nuanced. There was character assassination, intimidation, and I proudly stand as the only faculty member who received a formal senate censure from the university.”

He can’t consider even for a moment that his son’s private school isn’t actually elite nor are the so called elite universities to which he wasn’t admitted.
The truly elite kids are avoiding all of the fake, virtue signaling quasi academic nonsense.
My son's elite private high school school held graduation last week.
There were roughly 100 kids in the graduating class. Lots of extremely bright kids. Probably 20 IB diplomas. And maybe a dozen of those kids were Cum Laude Society too, including my son. These kids are incredibly smart and hard working. They had straight A's throughout high school, at an elite school, in the most challenging curriculum and earned the highest SAT scores.
Out of the entire class, there was only one student who was accepted into an Ivy League school. One. But he didn't earn an IB diploma. He wasn't Cum Laude Society. Or on the Head Master's List.
He is a great kid. And I'm happy for him. This isn't, in any way, a criticism of him. But, you already know -- he had something none of the highest achieving kids had.
Something has gone terribly wrong with our society when the very brightest kids are systematically barred from the most elite academic colleges in the country. And especially when the board of the school and its staff see absolutely nothing wrong with this outcome.
In fact they will, undoutably, call me a bigot -- again. But when will they fight for our sons?
They won't. Our sons are the wrong color.
P.S. In the middle of the ceremony, the American flag left of the stage fell over and hit the ground. The school's headmaster picked it up. But he didn't know how to fix the mount. So, he just stood it back up and let it fall over again. Twice. Finally a man who was obviously a former member of the armed services came over and, standing at attention, held the flag upright. Tells you 100% everything you need to know about the headmaster and the culture of that school.

The whole “VC” hurt my feelings theme shows just how gutless most venture backed founders are.
You literally booked a meeting with someone who might give you a bunch of money just because you showed them a PowerPoint.
And then they did something that they offended you (chiefly they didn’t give you money)
Sack up, buttercup

Is this turnaround just hiring for the World Cup???
Dramatic turnaround in the US labor market with 92k jobs per month added over the last 6 months.
That's the strongest 6-month growth rate since February 2025 and a 180-degree reversal from where things looked at the start of the year.

Just slightly more than SpaceX’s 2025 revenue.

So Chaffetz got paid
Schultz bought the land near the project,
Adams got huge donations through MIDA,
Cox's family was getting the fiber cable contract,
Who else is actively screwing over the people of Utah?
Former Utah Congressman and rumored 2028 candidate for governor, Jason Chaffetz, says he will be compensated for his consulting work connecting the developers of the Stratos data center project planned for Box Elder County to Kevin O'Leary if it comes to fruition.
