\u201cControl is seized. Cooperation is\u00a0earned.\u201d<\/p><\/div>So my wife cooks with the big ugly pans, and she leaves them dirty because she know I don’t like for her to wash the big ugly stuff. But she leaves all the other dishes dirty, too, knowing that I can’t wash the big ugly pans until all the smaller stuff is out of the way. But the joke is on her, because I like<\/em> doing the dishes when there are a lot to be done. I am Driven first, Incandescent second. The only jobs I like are the ones where I can literally see<\/em> the difference.<\/p>\n I smile. We study logical fallacies and cognitive biases \u2013 and so we should: Truth is more than just the absence of error, but error is a malign infestation, always worthy of eradication. But even then we are haughtily Ci, or at best Cs. Every other way of looking at the world is lost to us \u2013 and everyone who doesn’t mimic or at least idolize Ci is entirely excluded from the conversations of civilization.<\/p>\n I am twice delighted to see public education blowing itself up. At its best it was an awful usurpation of parental authority. By now, it is simply state-sponsored Marxism. But parents seeking alternatives means that some huge fraction of the current generation of school-kids is going to learn to read. That’s a low bar, I know, but some is better than none. Better yet: Some huge fraction of the kids public schools routinely throw away will get a shot at an education, for an earth-shaking change.<\/p>\n If you think Ci gnome-scoffing is the only path to truth, put down your phone \u2013 which you owe to the inexhaustible Di energy of Steve Jobs.<\/p>\n Now that’s a man who made differences everyone can see \u2013 but think of what today’s public schools would do to him…<\/p>\n In other news:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Redfin.com:<\/strong> Housing Market Update: Homebuying Conditions Improve Slightly as Mortgage Rates Decline.<\/a><\/p>\n Housing Wire:<\/strong> Delta variant fears send 30-year mortgage rates to 2.77%.<\/a><\/p>\n National Review:<\/strong> Small-Time Landlords \u2018Hanging On by Their Fingernails\u2019 as Eviction Moratorium Drags On.<\/a><\/p>\n Fox Business:<\/strong> Realtor groups sue Biden <\/a>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cControl is seized.
