Most people stop learning math after school.
Big mistake.
AI runs on math.
So does problem-solving, decision-making, and clear thinking.
Here's the roadmap I wish I had years ago:

Here's the roadmap I wish I had years ago:
1. Start with Algebra.
It's the foundation of everything that comes next.
Skip it, and higher math feels like random symbols.
Don't optimize for speed.
Optimize for clarity.
When each step makes sense, everything compounds from there.

Probably taught more people algebra than most schools.

2. Equations aren't math problems.
They're cause-and-effect maps.
The faster you see relationships, the faster you solve problems.
Next: Geometry.
It's not about memorizing shapes.
It's about training your brain to see patterns everywhere.

I've been pointing out the Russian use of coastal sealift in addition to trucks and trains since August 2022.
Now the Ukrainian military is getting systematic in cutting Russian logistics to occupied Southern and Western Ukraine across all land and sea domains. 🥳

I'm on the moon over the Ukrainian military finally taking Russian coastal shipping seriously as a major logistical supply line.

Active Measures, though started in Tsarist Russia and perfected under Soviet rule, are still a very active part of Russia’s foreign influence playbook within the US today, a thread:🧵
Russia’s active measures doctrine isn’t just propaganda.
It’s political warfare: covert, deniable operations meant to shape events by confusing, dividing, pressuring, or discrediting an adversary, all while hiding Moscow’s involvement.
It’s political warfare: covert, deniable operations meant to shape events by confusing, dividing, pressuring, or discrediting an adversary, all while hiding Moscow’s involvement.
The playbook: find a real fault line, build fake or front identities, launder a message through “independent” voices, amplify it until real people argue about it, then deny involvement.
The goal is often less “convince everyone” than “make trust collapse.”
Sound familiar?

Court strikes down USCIS policies that froze 39 countries immigration cases. The #USCISpause left people in “indeterminate legal limbo” solely due to birthplace. Judge: this violates immigration law and basic rule of law principles.

Some key points: Court says people “did things the right way” yet USCIS refused to act. They filed, paid, gave biometrics—and still got stuck in the #USCISpause with no decisions.

Does the brain always return to baseline after COVID?
A new multimodal MRI study suggests the answer may be - not always.
After infection, some brains may remain in a different network state - and we still do not know if that state is temporary, compensatory, or maladaptive🧵

The important part is not one single MRI finding.
The strength of this study is that it combines three MRI layers
structural MRI - grey matter volume,
diffusion MRI - white-matter microstructure,
resting-state fMRI - functional connectivity.

The study included 76 people recovered from COVID-19 and 51 healthy controls.
The authors looked at the whole recovered group, and then stratified COVID participants by severity
non-hospitalized vs hospitalized.
That matters, because some effects only became visible when severity was taken into account.

🚗🔋 Many think Beijing masterfully planned China's EV takeover. Fengming Lu (@ANUBellSchool ) and I spent 3 years and 60+ interviews finding out what actually happened in our latest article @TheChinaJournal. A thread 🧵
In 2014, the top 10 automakers in China were ALL state-owned or state-foreign joint ventures. By 2024, BYD, Geely, Chery, and other PRIVATE firms dominate. How did an industry rigged for SOEs get flipped by private entrepreneurs? That's the puzzle.
The standard narrative: Beijing picked winners, poured in subsidies, and created EV champions. We show that this is largely a misperception--Central policy actually BLOCKED most cities and private firms from the auto industry for decades.
Annamalai, the Sorcerer to break the 'Dravidian Spell' on Tamil Nadu?
The Statement "National Parties never spoke the language that people in Tamil Nadu understood" in Shri.Annamalai's letter of resignation from the membership of BJP is quite noteworthy. Was BJP at fault for their inability to make inroads in Tamilnadu? 🧵 1/n

If one recalls, in the last 5+ years, Prime Minister Modi made several visits to Tamilnadu, quoted Tamil verses, made short quips in Tamil, brought Tamilian heritage back from foreign soil and awarded several developments for the state. He also joined for the celebration of Annamalai's 'En Mann, En Makkal' march around TN.
Then how can Annamalai accuse BJP of not understanding the pulse of Tamilnadu? One need to go a bit deep. 2/n

BJP has been present in Tamilnadu politics for over 3 decades but always had to biggyback on to one or the other of Dravidian parties in every election. The Tamilian voters were brainwashed deep and conditioned, by Dravidian parties particularly DMK and its allies, to think that the present Central govt, BJP and its associate RSS are not secular and hence are against the interests of Tamilnadu, particularly that of minorities. Both DMK and AIADMk allowed Kthemselves to dictated by vested interests and started pushing an agenda against Hindus and BJP.
Annamalai was one of the couple of BJP Leaders who was eloquent in Tamil to bring in clarity in their but the speeches of the BJP leaders from the North didn't help BJP to connect with the Tamilians. 3/n

Paraguay 🇵🇾 just rewrote the rules for permanent residency
So if you're getting a Plan B here... read this twice
On May 28, Migraciones signed Resolution 407. It takes every scattered rule about proving "economic solvency" and merges them into one document
Before this, the criteria lived in six different resolutions that contradicted each other. One set for MERCOSUR citizens, another for everyone else, patched over and over until nobody knew which version applied
Now there's one rulebook, which means, same rules for everyone
Here's what you actually need to know. This is going to be a LONG post because there are a lot of changes 👇

1. Solvency is only checked at the permanent stage
Temporary residency still does not require it. That part has not changed
What changed is how strict they are when you convert from temporary to permanent. This goes very in line with the new Investor Pass they recently launched; they want to make it harder to get residency the "old" way to push this alternative

2. A university title alone is dead as proof
This is the biggest change
For years people showed a diploma and a "promise of work" letter and called it solvency. But that window is closed now
Professionals and technicians now have to show real income. That means social security enrollment, a registered work contract, or actual tax filings
A credential with nothing moving behind it will not pass

UK tax has gone up significantly over the last 25 years
But the tax paid by the average UK worker has not
This apparent miracle was achieved by taxing “other people”: higher earners, capital, property, banks, etc
The strategy has run out of road
A 🧵 on what happens next.

I'll post that chart again because it's amazing. The green line soars upwards, as the overall level of tax goes up.

In appeals court fight over the White House ballroom, DOJ says the federal government could quickly bulldoze the statute of liberty and no one would have standing to sue over the changes once the demolition is done.
JUDGE MILLETT: If the govt decides very quickly to bulldoze the Statue of Liberty, the people whose ancestors — that was the first thing they saw coming to this country, but the govt moved too fast — nothing can be done?
DOJ: I think that’s right, yes.
DOJ: I think that’s right, yes.
DOJ also arguing that the ballroom simply can't be stopped by the courts — even if the admin had overtly violated the law to build it — now that it's so far along. Only Congress can, DOJ says.
