Long division is an ancient initiation rite. Teaching my kids to do it would feel as odd as teaching them to slaughter a goat in sacrifice to Zeus.

Long division with two-digit divisors is where a kid often freezes. I published The Standard Algorithms on Lesson Hollow. Write one week as a video, a worksheet, then Khan until it reads Mastered, and begin with that freeze.

No matter what is coming, the West will win. Orwell prophesied it. You would know that if only your high school English teacher had asked you to read — and had herself read— the end of 1984 and talked to your class about it. Oh you think you’ve read the end, do you? I’ll concede that you probably read what everyone thinks is the end of the novel and is often quoted as the end of the novel by the so-called intellectuals, but they’re wrong. The end is not Winston loving Big Brother. Not remotely. Go get a physical copy of 1984. Re-read it — especially the hard part about 2/3 of the way through. That’s the game plan that’s been run on us for decades of not millennia; that’s being run on us still. But this time, pay attention to the *actual* ending. I gave you a hint in the photos attached. After you do read the *actual* ending, you’ll know something crucial: you and everyone else in the west already has the weapons Orwell told us would crush tyranny. They were bequeathed to you., to me, and everyone else. You just have to learn how to use them. Go get the book. ❤️🤍💙 (Link to full article in replies; but it has spoilers, so like I said, read Orwell first.)

In June 2013, NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked files showing the government had been collecting millions of Americans' phone and internet records. I published K-8 American History on Lesson Hollow. It covers that leak with a short animated summary of No Place to Hide.

Hypnosis works. Why does hypnosis work? Buckle up — Did you know? The #1 reason people seek a hypnotist's help is to QUIT a bad habit. Quit smoking, quit overeating, quit falling into destructive urges, etc. You get it. So, why does hypnosis work then after 2-3 sessions for so many, when these habits have become default for DECADES, in many cases? Another question: What is the difference between a smoker and a non-smoker? Trick question. The question is the answer. ***The difference between a smoker and a non-smoker is that one is a smoker and the other is a non-smoker.*** Now you get it; it's identity. It's the self-concept. It's behavior becoming who you are. "I smoke, therefore, I am (a smoker)." This is who you believe yourself to be now. So trying to change the habit by grit is getting it backwards. It can be done, but it's hard. Change identity (who you believe yourself to be), change behavior. Become a non-smoker, and you will stop the urge, the pattern, the habit of smoking. How? Hypnosis. That's how. Because a skilled hypnotist puts you in a pleasant trance, adjusts your identity — rooted in your subconscious — and changes "I am a smoker" to "I am a non-smoker." They do this by running a simulation of you BECOMING a non-smoker through what are called "suggestions," once you are deeply chilled TF out. These can be directly about the issue, or they can be a Christ-like parable or multisensory, metaphor-embedded story that your subconscious "gets" is about the smoking habit. Either way, the new identity is implanted and confirmed; now you become a non-smoker. Then out of trance, you feel no urge to smoke. No reason nor excuse to. "What do I need death sticks for? I am a non-smoker." No willpower required because it's who you are now. Almost instantly, likely forever. Now — you understand the life-changing magic of hypnosis, in the right hands. But in the wrong hands? Half the internet supported Lindsay Clancy. "Wait — it's all mass hypnosis??" "Always has been."

My son had six weeks to pass a math assessment that he failed. We used AI to do it. AI has the ability to revolutionize education and homeschooling. Maybe that's why Democrats want to ban it in school districts.

Grok @bot went through all my X bookmarks in the last 2 months, converted them into a single book in epub format and pushed it to my kindle. I’m reading all those pending bookmarks now on my kindle. Wild!
