Closing Messages to America:

DONALD TRUMP: "America is a garbage can."

KAMALA HARRIS: "America is great because of all of you!"

Richard Feynman on String Theory :

"I do feel strongly that this is nonsense!

...I don't like that they don't check their ideas. I don't like that for anything that disagrees with an experiment, they cook up an explanation - a fix-up says, "Well, it might be true.
[...] String theorists don't make predictions, they make excuses."

The importance of role models:

“You know that the statistics are: If a Black child has a Black teacher, by the end of third grade they’re like 13 percent more likely, more likely to go to college,” Harris said. “If they have had two Black teachers by third grade, something like 30 percent more likely.”

And if they have a black President, they realize anything is possible.
