Mike McGlone Senior Commodity Strategist at Bloomberg expects 2022 to be a successful year for both bitcoin and gold. He believes the primary cryptocurrency will hit $100,000, while the precious metal will trade at $2,000.

The current global financial system is passing through tough times, to say the least. The COVID-19 pandemic, and the health concerns around it, caused many companies to temporarily cease operations or send their workers to work from home. This led to immediate disruptions, crippled productivity, and built a solid base for future monetary issues.

At the same time, numerous central banks started printing vast amounts of fiat currencies to alleviate some of the short-term pain. However, by doing so, the inflation rate surged to unseen levels in decades. In the USA it stands at over 6% the highest it has been in nearly 40 years.

And while national currencies, such as the American dollar, are slowly losing their purchasing power, bitcoin is considered by many as the exact opposite. As of the moment, it is an inflationary asset. Its fixed supply of 21 million coins ever to exist gives it a trustworthy scarcity, making it an attractive investment tool that many people got on board during the ongoing financial turbulence.

Nonetheless, Bloombergs Mike McGlone predicted that deflationary forces will prevail next year and inflation will stop spreading across the globe. This process could help the primary cryptocurrency to tap a significant milestone in its USD development of $100,000. According to the expert, the same factors will cause gold to climb to $2,000 and oil to hit $50.

Another recent statement from Bloomberg revealed that many investors currently protect themselves from the rising inflation by getting into bitcoin. The company even called the leading cryptocurrency the best inflation hedge around.

The theory of BTC being such an alternative is supported by many prominent names, including Anthony Scaramucci, Paul Tudor Jones, and Barry Sternlicht. Not long ago, Jordan Peterson a clinical psychologist and a famous YouTube personality also joined this club.

After having an educational conversation with Dr. Saifedean Ammous, who stated that bitcoin is essentially the most powerful defensive technology against inflation, Peterson said he bought more BTC.

Subsequently, John Authers journalist at Bloomberg determined that BTC has achieved 99.996% deflation over the last ten years, meaning that the price of a single coin in 2011 now costs just 0.004 of it today.

When Kalon Gervin entered the transfer portal in late September, Kansas was one of the first schools to offer him a scholarship.

Gervin ending up taking a visit to Wisconsin and eventually committed to the Badgers. It looked like he would stay in the Big 10 after leaving Michigan State.

But over the last couple weeks the Jayhawks entered back in the picture and started making a push for the talented corner.

Last weekend Gervin took an official visit to Lawrence to learn more about the program and meet the coaching staff. He also got a chance to reconnect with Michigan natives Cornell Wheeler and Rich Miller.

I have known Cornell since he was four or five, Gervin said. Our older brothers played football with each other. I played against Rich in high school he went to King who was our rival. We all played in the same little league together. Those guys are good people and good dudes.

He liked what he saw on the official visit.

Most importantly they have great coaches, a great staff and campus, Gervin said. They were one of the first schools to hit me up when I entered the portal. The official visit was great. They made me feel like a priority, and everything was a huge factor.

The Jayhawks used a team approach and several coaches and staff members helped in the recruiting. Jordan Peterson who recently was promoted to the corners coach bonded with Gervin on the official visit and during the in-home.

Scott Aligo was the former Director of Player Personnel at Michigan State. Brian Borland played a part. Chris Simpson is well-connected in the Detroit area and knew him. Rob Ianello knew family members of Gervin.

Coach Peterson is cool and a great guy, Gervin said. He just got hired. We've been talking a lot. He's a great dude. Hes been just sitting with me talking football. He's a great guy. I met his wife and she's a great person.

Coach Borland the DC is a great guy, and he has got a lot of plans for me. Of course, Coach Leipold is a great dude. We spent a lot of time with each other, met his wife, and they are great people.

Ironically the Jayhawks just hired Terrence Samuel to be the new receivers coach and he recruited Gervin to Michigan State. But Gervin said Samuel was not recruiting him to Kansas, but it is another familiar face he will know.

When Gervin signed with Michigan State he was the number one prospect in the state according to the Rivals rankings. He was also the 17th rated cornerback in the nation. He played in the Under Armour All-American game and was voted Associated Press Division One player of the year.

Gervin plans to join the team in January and is looking forward to playing in the Big 12.

I'm excited to go to play in the Big 12 and play corner, Gervin said. Put my head in the pile and put my work on display. I think I bring that lockdown mentality, speed, versatility and leadership.

This is a yearly routine now, so from next year, I am just gonna bookmark dumb stuff as and when they are said. Anyway, get on with what you are here for. Presenting the stupidest things Indian celebrities have said in 2021:

Why do Bollywood people feel this urge to display their stupidity in every matter? Trust me, if this guy writes a book on heart health, our Indian public will make it a bestseller. pic.twitter.com/zQkEX22ibz

Just a thought to ponder but doesnt the left and right both lead to the same conclusion. Totalitarianism! One does it through nationalism and the the other through socialism. Are we really taking sides for the same outcome?

I so agree with @jordanbpeterson when he suggests that we must be monsters and what great monsters we could be, if only we also knew how to control it. Cause Its not the sword wielder that has the power, its the one who knows how to keep it sheathed that truly controls it.

Kangana should keep her mouth shut. Pathetic to say that 1947 independence was "bheekh" & real azaadi came in 2014. Whatever your political affiliation, this js despicable disrespect to all freedom fighters who laid their lives for the independencepic.twitter.com/JHXPwSJxsz

This could just have been an article with Uday Chopra and Kangana Ranaut competition for the title but let's not go there.

Excerpt from:
From John Abraham To Varun Dhawan, 9 Of The Dumbest Things Indian Celebrities Have Said In 2021 - ScoopWhoop

Last week, fifth-grade teacher Amy Parker took the pages of the education site Chalkbeat to celebrate New York Citys initiative to promote culturally responsive education in its public schools. Parker introduces her essay by lamenting that School taught me to hide who I was and what I valued because it didnt assign books with characters who had gay parents. But, at the same time, Parker also complains that she was overly represented in the books [she] read and the classes [she] took.

To make up for this injustice, Parker has now committed herself to providing a culturally responsive and sustaining education or CRSE. This means that she will pick texts on the basis of representation and diversity and emphasize racial and sexual identity in all her lessons. Instead of learning about the world and how to contribute to it, her students will now learn about themselves and how to become agents of change.

For these courageous efforts, New York City will support Parker and other teachers like her with a gargantuan sum of money: Over the course of three years, almost $500 million will be allocated to CRSE so that our students are reflected in what and how they learn.

While everyone is certainly entitled to her opinions, even bad ones, this becomes a problem when it comes with such a high price tag and threatens to become the dominant position of an entire profession. I may not teach in New York, but even here in Texas, this kind of thinking and the policies it inspires are increasingly common in our public schools.

It is worthwhile to consider and rebut Parkers argument, not only because it promotes a radically leftist message to a captive audience of children, but because its bad pedagogy that deprives those children of a quality education.

The most obvious problem, as voices against critical race theory have noted, is the fact that a school classroom is a space intended for the development of knowledge and competency, not ideology and activism. Parker clearly believes the latter and trains her students to see themselves and others through the lens of race and sexuality.

However, people are much more than this. As Aristotle established long ago and Jordan Peterson reiterates today, people can only thrive when they define themselves by their virtues and achievements and find meaning and purpose therein. When they do otherwise, defining themselves by accidental qualities (that is, through things that happened to them rather than things they effected themselves), they will never find meaning or purpose, because there is none.

Society doesnt care what people are; it cares about what people do. And this holds true for any culture and any political system.

Thats why identity politics is a terrible model for public education or any other cultural endeavor, for that matter. It discourages achievement and learning and projects a false reality.

A student in such an environment doesnt bother understanding the world beyond himself, nor does he learn to become a better reader, writer, and problem-solver. Rather, he adopts a mode of thinking that his fate is largely predetermined by labels and systems, and learns that the only way to change his fate is by challenging the system through activism.

One cannot understate just how vicious this kind of thinking is. As Jeremy Adams declares in his recent book Hollowed Out: The big lie is that our students are hopeless, powerless victims. It is a lie that brings passivity and cynicism, that encourages finger-pointing and hate, that is a harmful counsel of despair.

Besides the fatalism implicit in identity politics, there is also the accompanying push to activism. Does the world really need more activists? Neither Parker nor any leftist educator ever seems to ask this question. Yet this is probably the main concern for most parents. Theyd like to see their kids grow up to do great things and have a great career, not take to the streets and social media to protest old statues and conservative politicians.

Another question no one seems to ask is if kids really need to see themselves represented in the books they read and the media they consume. Is it true that Children are more engaged in class when they can see themselves in their lessons and materials, as NYCs departing Chancellor Meisha Porter attests? In my experience, both as a student and a teacher, this is not the case.

Like many other millennials, my favorite book series in elementary school were Goosebumps, The Great Brain, and Choose Your Own Adventure. I liked them because they were a fun escape from my drab public school experience. Reading about experiences that are vastly different from their own is part of what makes reading compelling, for children and adults alike.

In high school, I enjoyed more dystopian classic novels like Animal Farm, 1984, and Brave New World because they were relevant critiques of my school experience. It wasnt that I identified with oppressed farm animals, or Winston Smith, or John Savage; these books helped me see that public school was indeed a dystopia and that I wasnt crazy.

When I started teaching, it was the same thing. The texts from authors celebrated because of their skin color never seemed especially engaging for any group of students. It turns out that, just like movies hoping to capitalize on identity politics, books that do so will inevitably fail. Kids wont read them, and teachers wont use them.

Parker may gush about the handful of students who have taken her lessons on diversity, equity, and inclusion to heart and have signed petitions for transgender rights and expressed guilt over their racial groups role in history, but she seems relatively indifferent to whether her students can write an essay, graph an equation, or collect data for a science experiment.

All this leads me to think that Parker and other like-minded teachers are not being honest. The classroom she is describing in her essay sounds terrible, but she pretends like all her students really enjoy it. Experience and logic suggest that this simply isnt the case.

It is far more likely that Parker is like the leftist teachers on TikTok who garner positive attention for how well they can indoctrinate their students while teaching them nothing. Her essay in Chalkbeat is just more virtue signaling or shameless shilling, considering that half a billion dollars is being spent on CRSE.

Meanwhile, students at NYC public schools continue to fare poorly in reading and now district leaders are eliminating talented and gifted programs for the sake of equity. Rather than empower their students, New York City educators seem more interested in enabling them with leftist narratives.

This may satisfy the progressive itch now, but it will only compound the failings of public education. Lets hope other cities and states take heed of New Yorks CRSE and do the exact opposite.
