Money is not a performance drug (making you a super human) but a vaccine (prevents diseases that make you invalid and bed ridden)
Money may not give you more happiness but removes many areas of unhappiness.
Rationally, it makes sense to pay off highest debt
Paying smallest debt boosts our ego and puts us in a path to close other debts
Practical solutions beats rational solutions
Economists suggest rational solutions. Personal finance coaches (like @DaveRamsey) suggest practical solutions.
Decisions are not made on excel; they are made on the dinner table.
Practical solutions > Rational solutions

There has to be lose community of communities to support the families in this venture.
As more nuclear / micro / gurukulam schools come up, the community will start to form.
I hope the future of kids education is better.
In the age of "sovereign individuals", a school could be as small as 1 family;
and as big as all families in a community
or as variety as from across the globe
When run by community, you can increase on all the above 3 points.
when you bring in mothers, you bring in "skin in the game".
Schools run as a business venture is ok; but like any business,
- progress is measured on proxy (scores, attendance) not on what matters (ability to learn, creating & capturing value)
- the real stakeholders (students) have no say (like b2b product sales)
- none has skin in game
India used to have "gurukulam" concept. It needs to be reinvented for the current era.
One option is as mentioned by @malpani. Two primary changes:
schools should be community based & led by mothers
Both points hit the target at the center x.com/malpani/statusā¦
@karanshukla27 Derek talks about it too. Good article. Though written from UK/US perspective, lot of points for India too
Rather than transforming into some post-economic Eden of good vibes, it becomes bitter, flailing, and nonsensical.
Britain seems trapped between a left-wing aversion to growth and a right-wing aversion to openness.
Having offshored industry in favor of finance, its economy wasnāt resilient.
Ouch! UK is a poor country!

@cvkrishnan Every uni has a industry partnership dept. Their main motive: employment. There is so much of transactions going back & forth (startup events, lectures..) all with the motive of campus hiring and not value creation.
@CodingCommando In one of the earlier tweet elon talked abt this feature.
@ASP_TN @dharanisalem Thank you for the detailed reply Shankar. Helpful to understand.
After reading your reply, I assume data triangulation should be part of all research studies.
1. Many gov handles may not be happy the platform is private. So might move over unless Elon proves he is trustworthy
2. Dev relation might improve. Lots of apps might develop around Twitter
