I don’t really think that just because a person does well academically, it’s a sign of mediocrity. The converse is also true.

Einstein's works revolved around three rules which apply to all science, problems, and times: • Out of clutter, find simplicity; • From discord make harmony; and • In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. Happy Birthday to Albert Einstein!

These are eight slightly different versions of The Great Wave Off Kanagawa from eight different museums. So which is the real one? That's the thing — they're all the real one. Here's a brief history of art's most famous wave...

This is Sir Frederick Banting. He discovered insulin in 1923. But he refused to put his name on the patent. Why? Because Banting felt it was unethical to profit from a discovery that would save lives. But pharmaceutical companies made huge financial offers to Banting for the patent, knowing they could make billions. They even sweetened the deal, offering an insulin clinic, with Sir Banting in charge... a temping offer to almost doctor in his position. Banting, however, said his discovery of isolated insulin was a gift to mankind. He felt this critical medicine should be available to everyone who needed it. In 1923, Banting was just 31 years old when he was awarded the Nobel Prize. Tragically, in 1941 while flying on a plane to personally protect scientific secrets from the Nazis, his plane crashed. He was killed. Banting's co-inventors, in his honor, sold the patent for insulin to the University of Toronto for the appropriate sum they thought appropriate – one dollar. Today, 30 million Americans with diabetes rely on his gift to mankind. To honor Sir Frederick Banting, it should remain a gift to mankind.

I wonder if the #Caicedo transfer saga was Brighton’s Machiavellian plan (with the support of Liverpool) to extract a ginormous transfer fee from Chelsea.

This is a sad indictment of the imbalance in the UK economy. Nothing has changed to shift economic power from London to the regions.
NEW: America is a rich country. Britain is a poor country with one wealthy region. People love to compare the UK to Mississippi, but it’s far more informative to look at UK subnationally, too. London ranks fairly well, the rest of the country does not 👉 ft.com/content/e5c741a7-befa…

Confirmation bias is probably the most common and perhaps destructive of all behavioural biases. Breaking away from it is hard. But it can be achieved by recognising it when it happens.
We must be careful not to believe things simply because we want them to be true. No one can fool you as easily as you can fool yourself.

This year the government will give the UK’s banks £45 billion they have done nothing to earn. That’s because of QE and interest rate rises. At the same time they say they can’t afford decent pay rises for nurses, doctors, teachers and others. This makes no sense. A thead….

Truth.
It's amazing how much more quickly the Prime Minister can read and digest and make his mind up on a 161 page Court of Appeal judgment than he managed with the Privileges Committee Report on Johnson or the Tolley report on Raab.

There has been much discussion about the likely failure of Thames Water in the last day or so. I’ve been looking at the accounts of England’s water companies for the last twenty years. My conclusion is that they are all environmentally insolvent. So, a thread…..
