We need to focus on the Biology. In order for your brain to develop the ability for higher order thinking it needs to practice higher order thinking. If we don’t do things like write essays or learn algebra then our brain doesn’t develop. It’s the same reason athletes work out in a gym.

Carolinians, now that Thom Tillis is free to vote his conscience, you now have exceptional leverage over Senate votes. From now to December 2026, on every issue, light up that switchboard with calls to him. Start by thanking him today for his courage.
And print and save this phone list.

Between today’s rulings on citizenship and age verification, the Court is taking a torch to the constitution and stripping away Americans’ core rights. This is a good time to remind everyone that I have the comprehensive court reform bill to expand the court.
