Why Stoics Don’t Care About Haters… - You love yourself more than other people, but you’re going to care about their opinions more than your own? (Marcus Aurelius) - Why become a philosopher if you’re going to follow the mob? (Chrysippus)

We believe that the West can awaken from its long slumber – and rekindle the fire that was first lit in ancient Greece millennia ago.

If @nithyavraman becomes LA Mayor, @spencerpratt should move to her district and run for her open seat. They hate Nithya so much that he’d win in a landslide.

This is just so sad. Please turn off the iPad. You really can talk to your kids, read to your kids, and play with your kids. (Also who is giving a three-year-old more than four hours of screen time per day??)
Toddlers should be talking their parents' ears off, but some of them are falling behind, and it looks like excess screen time could be to blame.

Je ne sais pas si vous mesurez ce qui est en train de se passer. Alex Karp, le patron de Palantir, ne va plus chercher ses talents à Harvard. Il les forme lui-même. Des jeunes de 18 ans, sans diplôme, choisis sur leur seul talent, qui codent sur de vrais projets et lisent de la philosophie politique entre deux sprints. Il appelle ça « le diplôme Palantir ». Et aujourd'hui le New York Post titre que les boîtes tech lancent leurs propres programmes parce qu'elles ne peuvent plus compter sur l'Ivy League. Ce n'est pas une anecdote RH. C'est un basculement de civilisation. Pendant des décennies, les entrepreneurs ont confié à l'université la mission la plus sacrée qui soit : former les esprits. Ils comprennent aujourd'hui que cette mission a été trahie. Les institutions censées produire des penseurs libres produisent des conformistes. Le mérite a été remplacé par des critères opaques. L'enseignement est devenu catéchisme. Paul Graham l'avait vu avant tout le monde. Alors ils font ce que font les bâtisseurs quand un système les trahit. Ils ne le réforment pas. Ils en construisent un autre, à côté. Elon n'a pas attendu que la NASA se réveille, il a fait SpaceX. Il n'a pas réformé les médias, il a racheté la place publique. Les entrepreneurs ne cherchent plus à convaincre l'État. Ils font l'État, partout où l'État a abdiqué. Relisez La Grève d'Ayn Rand. Nous y sommes. Les bureaucrates gardent les titres, les budgets, les bâtiments. Mais ils perdent la seule chose qui compte : la confiance. Aux États-Unis, à peine 28 % des gens font encore confiance aux médias. Un plus bas historique. Plus personne ne croit ceux qui prétendent nous dire quoi penser. On entend partout que l'école est finie. Je pense exactement l'inverse. Ce n'est pas l'école qui est morte. Ce sont les institutions qui l'ont confisquée. L'école, la vraie, celle de l'Académie d'Athènes, des ateliers de la Renaissance, du maître et de l'apprenti, va renaître. Plus exigeante. Plus juste. Sans dette, sans dogme, sans diplôme comme rente à vie. Une école qui ne fabriquera plus des diplômés, mais des polymathes. Des esprits libres, capables de coder, de penser, de construire et de douter. Ce sont eux qui créeront la valeur des cinquante prochaines années. J'ai appris à coder seul à 12 ans. Aucun amphi ne m'a appris ce que j'ai appris en construisant. Je sais ce que devient un talent quand on le laisse respirer. L'université a eu des siècles pour former les meilleurs esprits. Les entrepreneurs vont le faire en une décennie. La grande reconstruction a commencé.

🚨This is an absolute outrage. At least a million hardworking Californians have fled the state over the last decade because they can’t afford the sky-high gas, electric, insurance and housing bills. But illegal immigrants are welcomed with freebies while Gavin Newsom turned a surplus into tens of billions of debt.
EXCLUSIVE: California has created a shadow welfare system for illegal aliens. Free housing, cash, healthcare, food, phones, college tuition, even car insurance—costing taxpayers more than $10 billion per year. We went inside the system and exposed it all.

The only parenting advice I find useful: You can't teach your kids anything. You just have to embody the things you want them to learn. Make a list of the traits and values you want your kids to have. Then make sure you're living by them every single day. That's really it.

The Current reported the street-sweeping mess last year: ticketed cars during missed sweeps. Now, the city is confirming it. The city says about 2,000 street-sweeping tickets were issued in error in 2025 and about 350 drivers have not yet been reimbursed. westsidecurrent.com/la_city_…

I met with a hospitality group ready to bring six new concepts to the abandoned North Side of the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica. Their two questions are the same ones business owners and investors ask me all the time: Why is the Promenade so empty? And will City Hall still have our back a year from now? My answer is yes, but only if we elect a council that treats jobs and storefronts as a public trust. Clear rules. Safe streets. Fast permits. No bait-and-switch after the ribbon cutting. Six concepts at once would prove Santa Monica is open for business again. Derrick Townsend for Santa Monica City Council '26 – at Santa Monica, CA

What’s a better predictor of depression for kids—poverty, race, parental education, or family structure? Family structure. Even net of controls, children in non-intact families are twice as likely be depressed.
