Awesome conversation between Brian Greene and Alain Aspect on the history and significance of quantum mechanics 😍
Alain Aspect recounts his love-at-first-sight with quantum mechanics (QM) after reading John Bell's four-page article.

It's a revealing moment...
J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.
The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

Governments and voters are both reacting to algorithm-shaped “public opinion,” not grounded priorities. Immigration feels urgent because platforms amplify fear, pulling parties into hollow performances of toughness. The far right reads that drift as confirmation it’s winning.

Four months ago, President Trump blocked the release of the Epstein files. Yesterday's disclosure of thousands of Epstein emails showed why.
Trump and his allies had promised to release the files before the 2024 election. He then reversed course in July.
