- How American astronauts had about a 10 year period where they had to launch in Soyuz spacecrafts out of Kazakhstan (vs. American shuttles out of Cape Canaveral) and the US gov has to purchase seats for Americans on said space craft. We spent about $4 billion on those seats.
- How money begets money begets money….and particularly the way it is all incubated in private high schools and universities. (Sorry for paywall articles, maybe you can access…)

I have sometimes pondered the pivotal moment when money changes people forever. The answer is without doubt the acquisition of the private plane—it’s the moment when you leave the human race forever.

To anyone who has ever used Khan Academy, this is a must listen.
To anyone who hasn’t, Sal Khan is probably the world’s most influential education reformist within the private sector. He is the founder of Khan Academy, a collection of YouTube-adjacent instructional courses on high-school-level topics available free-of-charge across the world. Khan Academy is now working on a ChatGPT-integrated product that allows students to more effectively utilize Al in the classroom, granting them access to basically a private tutor at little cost to school districts. This podcast came out about a year ago, but it is still incredibly refreshing to hear someone seeking actually measurable change within the US education system who also has a desire to provide more accessible education to the entire world. For context, Khan Academy is a nonprofit funded almost exclusively from donations, and Sal Khan could easily be worth millions if he were to bring the company public. Despite this fact, he continues to state his intention never to do so even after nearly 20 years of operation.

🏡If you’re within an hour walk from home, you should just walk home.
I understand taking public transit or an Uber there to be on time, but you’re not rushing to get home. Thus, walk.
