Smart Money: Turn Your Tax Refund Into $25,000
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Tax Season, * Investing for the long run is often worth the wait. It already has been well documented that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is severely backlogged and has been dealing with ongoing staffing and budgeting issues for years.

Three Critical Factors In The End-Permian Mass Extinction
This is important work. The general consencus has never been in debate, but we knew little about the actual process. Now we know a lot about just that.

We need to think how to win the Third World War
Allowing Russia to make the first strike against NATO may be a big mistake According to some seemingly official documents, the invasion of Ukraine was approved on January 18th, should have started on February 20th, and ended on March 6th. I think that it would prove that the increased shooting in Donbas which came after the approval was fake, a false flag operation, much like the German false flag operations (Operation Himmler) that preceded the September 1939 attack on Poland. Even if the date "January 18th" were fake, it is pretty clear that this massive war against the country wit... read more

Understanding over Believing

The idea is to stop thinking in terms of *knowing* (or believing-what-is-true), and focus instead on *understanding*. We have long put a great deal of emphasis on the value of knowledge. For most purposes this is a perfectly serviceable value, and the pursuit of knowledge is certainly a noble calling. But the problem arises when we take the authoritarian mindset into account.
