Tim Cook has now been Apple’s CEO longer than Steve Jobs was. That’s quite a milestone.

Today my good friend Michael Scheffe and I met with Texas State Representative James Talarico. He’s that rarest of things in politics these days: a true public servant. Look him up on social media. His speeches are inspiring and I wish him success in his political career.

Today I checked my mailbox to find 22 pieces of mail 19 of which were junk. That’s 86% junk mail. I’ll bet I’m typical. Imagine the waste of energy that goes into producing and mailing all of that? That would be a good problem to solve.

Travel is the best medicine to open an otherwise closed mind.

What does it really take to succeed? It takes far more than determination to get what we want.

What does it take to succeed at just about anything? Here's my take on that.

Do AIs like ChatGPT, Claude and others truly understand us? Come with me as I pull back the curtain.

What Tyler didn’t say is why LLMs don’t understand anything. I explained this in a blog post. geoffperlman.substack.com/p/do-ais-lik...

Knowledge is the cure to the disease of ignorance.

Remember that forgiveness isn’t for the forgiven. It allows you, the forgiver, to put down the emotional baggage you’re carrying around on their behalf. It’s not approval of the forgiven’s behavior. It allows you to move on.

Not to mention that with faces covered, no badge shown, an unmarked car, I would assume I’m being kidnapped, not arrested and I would respond accordingly. The officers lives are more at risk in that situation.

The cornstalk that resulted from a squirrel planting a kernel now has a small cob growing on it.

On This Mother’s Day Many of my friends are, like me, now old enough that they have lost their mother, a fact that is even more top of mind today of all days.

My thoughts on the two women I think of most on Mother’s Day.

Was it truly meant to be? Science most likely can provide us with a definitive answer

Are some things truly meant to be? In my latest post I suggest that science has an answer to that question.

Memory is such an interesting thing. I was just looking at my kindergarten class picture, a photo taken 56 years ago, and yet I’m surprised by how many of the names I can remember. A picture of something we haven’t thought about in decades can locate nearly forgotten memories.

Oh how I wish we had a President as fit as the Prime Minster of Singapore who is clearly intelligent and is an eloquent speaker in English which is not his native language.

Trump isn’t particularly intelligent and speaks at a 4th grade level.

The People Quitting Health Insurance For An Alternative Idea Customers sick of dealing with insurance are turning to health sharing as an alternative

I was interviewed in Time Magazine for an article (time.com/7269608/crow...) about alternatives to medical insurance. If you’re looking for an alternative yourself, I highly recommend CrowdHealth (www.joincrowdhealth.com?referral_cod...).

Which is why it fell. Because you were there to hear it. 😆

I don’t want someone to be able to get it and pretend to be me. That’s why I kept my Twitter account but just don’t use it.

To those of you who would vandalize a Tesla to protest Musk, remember that the repair work (paid by insurance which contributes to increasing rates for others) is likely to be done by Tesla.

As if this needs to be said, don’t believe Trump. Ezra Klein explains Trump’s strategy. youtu.be/K8QLgLfqh6s?...

Just watched Saturday Night on Netflix. It’s movie about the launch of Saturday Night Live and it’s awesome!

Instagram set my account to automatically follow Trump. I immediately unfollowed him. Nice try Zuckerberg.

The truth is sometimes a painful thing. It’s unfortunate that Trump has no ability to learn from it. He’s a petulant child who regularly reminds us that he’s entirely unfit for the presidency.

Is there a better example of unfitness for the presidency?

Dr. Martin Luther King once said that, “The great majority of Americans are suspended between these opposing attitudes. They are uneasy with injustice but unwilling yet to pay a significant price to eradicate it.”

The truth is sometimes unsettling.

The Sunscreen Song said it perfectly:

“Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance; so are everybody else’s.”

The other day a reminder popped up on my phone that I set to go off every 10 years. So yesterday I got another tetanus shot.

How good is Tesla's Full Self Driving mode? It's gotten a whole lot better since last April.

How good is #Tesla Full Self-Driving these days? Here’s my assessment.

The Path to Unity How America can unify our citizenry for the betterment of all

Can we as Americans rid ourselves of the political divisiveness that is destroying us? Yes, we can. Here are my thoughts on how to do it.

Just a reminder about the physics of Santa Claus. 🤣
