You cannot get rich with your money in savings account,
Invest it in appreciating assets.
Lessons I learned from "Rich Dad, Poor Dad"
~ Thread ~
You cannot get rich with your money in savings account,
Invest it in appreciating assets.
It is not the amount of money you make,
It's the amount of money you keep that matters.
Rich people acquire assets while poor accumulates liabilities,
Your choices will determine your fate.
Most people consider this slavery as their life,
Completely forgetting the life possible beyond that.
Learn about investing, markets, accounting, sales and others.
It will help you make overall better financial decisions.
Never be afraid to take calculated risks.
Those who always play it safe never make big fortunes.
Every month, first invest in your income-generating assets,
The rest of expenses should be next to it.
You cannot earn millions by just dreaming of a small job,
Plan and dream big ventures and play with heart.

One of the authors of the Policy Exchange report on academic free speech thinks it is "ridiculous" to expect him to accurately portray an incident at Cardiff University in his study, both in the reporting and in a question put to a student sample.
Here is the incident Kaufmann incorporated into his study, as told by a Cardiff professor who was there. As you can see, the incident involved the university intervening to *uphold* free speech principles:
Here is the first mention of the Greer at Cardiff incident in Kaufmann's report. It refers to the "concrete case" of the "no-platforming of Germaine Greer". Any reasonable reader would assume that refers to an incident of no-platforming instead of its opposite.
Here is the next mention of Greer in the report. The text asks whether the University "should have overruled protestors" and "stepped in...and guaranteed Greer the right to speak". Again the strong implication is that this did not happen and Greer was "no platformed".
The authors could easily have added a footnote at this point explaining what actually happened in Cardiff. They did not.
This is ridiculous. Students were asked for their views on this example and several others. The study findings and conclusions were about student responses not the substance of each case. Could\u2019ve used hypotheticals. The responses not the cases were the basis of the conclusions.

The UK govt\u2019s paper on free speech in Unis (with implications for Wales) is getting a lot of attention.

Worth noting then that an important part of the evidence-base on which it rests relates to (demonstrably false) claims about my own institution

This thread examining a detrans story puts me in mind of something that shocked me to the core fifteen years ago in early 2004. I’ve not often told this so there follows a mini thread of my own.

Found a podcast by Keira Bell talking about her reasons for detransitioning

Listened to it so you don't have to
Wherein, at the 24-30 min mark, keira talks about her reasons for detransition and admits she did it for her ideology alone.
