1/We started Coney Island Prep public charter school >12yrs ago to give kids
the right heroes
deep desire to learn
high expectation
to get into college & career of their choice
From 90 5th graders in a room in the projects to > 1100 scholars + 200 staff + 💯college acceptance
🤯
1/ Either we believe in the VIRTUE that people can (+ wish to) improve & be just a bit better than they were yesterday or we believe they are set in stone + unredeemable.
This was a chilling moment for me thinking of the "corrections" society seeks + the lives in this bus...
2/ Whether a serious crime or a thought crime
a transgression where someone did something considered WRONG today
But either
a) didn't know it was WRONG
(and error corrected on learning)
-or-
b) it wasn't considered WRONG
at the time they did it
means...
3/ JUSTICE ought time travel JUSTLY
Standards change—We ought hold others to standard now + hence not past
-a past crime,newly discovered,gone unpunished but for evasion OUGHT BE punished
-a past act,deemed present offense,newly discovered,not previously punishable OUGHT NOT

by cynical "leaders" of political parties + well-intentioned others + foreign enemies fanning 🔥 NOT as nationalists but as populists seeking to destroy nation by dividing us into TRIBES + fueling US to hate EACH OTHER more than 'them'..
This doesn't mean disavowing disagreement—but rather finding nuance to see + criticize "others" as ERRED protagonists + not EVIL antagonists
3/ Were I foreign enemy set to weaken the US i 'd not attack it kinetically from OUTSIDE, but do it from INSIDE.
Create constant low-simmer civil war, deepen rifts, provoke tribal Us vs Them alliances recasting identity, rewrite history, dissolve MYTH of "United States" so that-
2/ Competitive intellects love finding
correct answers quicker
truths not yet discovered
better explanations (for pleasure + sport)
Some compete to be ‘smarter’ than others
Motivated intrinsically for self or extrinsically—
they like to OUTSMART people—
and/or get STATUS for it.
3/ Frauds/hucksters/ tricksters also try to OUTSMART others
but in contrast don’t want STATUS for their cleverness—
they cloak it + dont want to be detected
Bad smart people are source of worlds conflicts
One cant be compelled to call out FRAUD
unless intellectually competitive
2/Consider these statements
Answer each of the following quickly as True/False or Yes/No
And I can 100% tell you your zodiac
And 100% tell how you are likely to respond in most (but not all situations)
And who would be best career path and best life partner for you...
3/
YES/NO
•You often have a need for other people to like and admire you.
•You have a great deal of unused capacity, which you have not turned to your advantage
•Disciplined outside, you sometimes can be worrisome and insecure inside.
