    Begs the question, what's wrong with India? With such managerial talent, why does it have a per capita GDP of only $1,900.

    A lot of education is training you to figure out what your future customers and bosses really want and what implicit assumptions they are making.

    US should create reserve army of geniuses. If IQ>160 and pass basic sanity test then get training in how government works. In crisis they take over key relevant jobs. COVID-19 threat would have given these geniuses control of CDC and FDA.

    Moderna is planning to charge $130 for its COVID vaccine, but the vaccine only costs $2.85 to make. Meanwhile, over the last two years, the company made over $19 billion in profits off the vaccine. Folks, this is what corporate greed looks like.

    My ideal college reform: To graduate from any college you have to pass some objective exam. Anyone can take the exam, including people who never attended the college, and their degree would be just as valid as those of people who attended and passed the exam.

    South Koreans have mostly given up on having children. They are losing at the only game that matters.

    For most of human existence the primary social value of 17-year-old boys was to jump to the defense of the tribe when attacked by outsiders. All of us are here only because such boys successfully defended our ancestors.
