A lot has been written about side hustles and how to make a living "working for yourself". But there IS a path to $1MM/year as a traditional employee. Here the framework that no one seems to acknowledge:

Under that criteria there is a pretty good case for adding Polk
Please stop using Mount Rushmore as a metaphor for the top four of something. That's not why Gutzon Borglum chose Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt for the monument.
Washington represents the start of the nation. Jefferson represents expansion. Lincoln represents preservation, and Roosevelt represents the growth into a global superpower.
He chose them because they represent four key stages in American history.
“Many people don’t do this thing, therefore it is not useful to do this thing” is an interesting argument

You’ve probably used AI for work today.
Now picture an 11-year-old using it to finish her core schoolwork in two hours a day.
That’s Everest Nevraumont’s routine at @Alphaschool in Austin, and she’s given a @TEDx talk on how she does it.
She’s coming with her dad, @Ednever, Senior Advisor at @warburgpincus and former CMO of @GA_TORONTO, to talk about what AI is really doing for kids’ learning and where it’s mostly hype.
If you build in edtech, shape AI policy at a school, or have kids of your own, come hear it in person and bring your questions.

Buchanan was clearly a gay president (likely had an affair with William Rufus, VP of Pierce). But he was also one of the worst presidents so no one wants to claim him. Instead we call him our only “bachelor president”
It wasn’t that bad. Two toddlers and a newborn were really hard though….

It’s not just seminar discussions.
Science fairs are just as bad.
No: your 12-year old hasn’t invented a new way to create unlimited energy
Build a knowledge base first. Then you will be ready for innovation later
Ok I’m going to be *actually* conservative here: high school students shouldn’t sit around a table in "seminars"
They should learn.
A high school student has nothing interesting to say about Beowulf, sorry, and having a "seminar discussion" around his thoughts on Beowulf is a waste of his, his classmates, and the teacher’s time.
But I’m sure UBI would work out well here
We’ve gone from knowledge about the world doesn’t matter because you can “look it up” to knowing your own address and phone number is unimportant
I would never, ever, ever admit this if this were true about me. not ever. not in a million years. nytimes.com/2026/09/23/opini…
Forget the stepsisters, Cruella and Malifecent, this needs to be the next “villain was actually the hero story”
Growing up my wife’s takes copy of sound of music started when Julie Andrews is walking to the home (“I believe in me”). It wasn’t until college she learned there was almost 30 minutes of film before that
When teaching a 5-year old history he will often mix things that seem obvious to an adult. Today he asked his mom:
“Can you tell me about what you were doing during the XYZ affair?”
“What?”
“You know, when the planes hit the twin towers”
Xyz - 9/11: All numbers and letters….
This is just not true.
At most private schools Parmets need to be VERY careful what they say. They are hard to get in to and if you are a troublesome parent you are asked to leave.
And you are counting on the guidance counselor for recommendations for high school/college 1/x
The @Alphaschool is far from perfect. But the idea that people are “afraid” to say anything is ridiculous. If they are it’s not on the school who even have “deans of parents” for every location who’s job it is to listen to parent concerns
