See how Alpha School students learn 2.2X faster with just 2 hours of academics daily, kindergartners scoring in the top 1%, and how this technology isn't replacing teachers—it's empowering them. Plus: why regulatory obstacles are blocking housing affordability, the shift of top talent to defense tech, and the connection between economic freedom and happiness.
