Trump doesn't even care about US soldiers who have fallen in war. My god, how stupid are the Americans who voted for him and some are even dumber than a rock for still supporting him.

When you hear them target any vulnerable community—immigrants, trans people, refugees—ask first why they're trying to distract and divide us. Don't fall for it.

Brilliant European women powered progress, but the credit did not always go to them.

Marthe Gautier found Down Syndrome’s extra chromosome. Her boss took the spotlight.
Maria Anna Mozart composed masterpieces. Wolfgang Amadeus’ name survived, hers vanished.

If you are not particularly intelligent but have sufficient funds, you can buy the impression that you are intelligent.
Surrounding yourself with smart people (or worse: stealing their ideas) may make you business smart, but not scientifically.
