You likely confused for "higher brackets have greater share of income" when it says "greater share of people are in higher brackets" 100 0

monadgonad.bsky.social @monadgonad.bsky.social · 25/11/2024You cofounded a school? As in, you raised several millions in funds, recruited 20-30+ initial staff, marketed the school, attracted and retained students? TBH I find that hard to believe given your temperament, the speed at which you leapt into insults. I've never seen your kind build institutions. 000 0

monadgonad.bsky.social @monadgonad.bsky.social · 25/11/2024I'll take a stab at your intelligence too: I think you're clearly smart, likely +1.5 to +2 SD. Very verbal-tilted. You're usually the smartest person in a room of 50-100 or so. However, it didn't translate to the success or respect you think you deserve, so you're bitter towards successful people. 020 0

monadgonad.bsky.social @monadgonad.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Despite Hamas doing their best hiding behind schools and hospitals, the IDF has managed to wage this war with civilian-combatant casual ratios typical of other urban wars which have not been defined as genocide.
