What’s happening in the green energy transition is not Schumpeters’ Creative Destruction, but de-industrialisation.

Aus should have started reindustrialising at least a generation ago, says @peterzeihan. Now it wants to be a green energy superpower. Is 2024 a year of renewal or a reckoning for 21st C Aus industry?

Really incisive piece - again - from @bariweiss. It’s time to wake up from this DEI propaganda era.

What should we do now?
Many things.
One of them: End 'DEI'.
It’s not about diversity, equity, or inclusion. It is about arrogating power to a movement that threatens strivers of every race, ethnicity, and class—and ultimately America itself.

This is a recording of a phone call from inside Gaza about the failed rocket launch by Islamic Jihad which hit the hospital.
Don't let Hamas and Islamic Jihad spread their lies.

Great and wise words from Jobs! Love also how he really thought hard, first, before answering what sounded like a fairly straightforward question. Jobs’s insight and experience here is plentiful, but to me the takeaway is understanding complexity of people, process and materials.

The TruthGPT AI - according to Musk - will set us free. My confidence level is quite low on that. afr.com/technology/elon-musk…
