Elon’s stance is principled.
Trump’s stance is practical.
Tech needs Republicans for the present.
Republicans need Tech for the future.
Drop the tax cuts, cut some pork, get the bill through.

Panic led to lockdowns. Lockdowns led to fiscal stimulus. Stimulus led to inflation. Inflation led to monetary tightening. Tightening leads to recession.
The panic wasn’t free - and the bill is coming due.

Elon’s purchase of Twitter was the single most consequential act of the last decade.
It restored free speech, broke the Overton window, and enabled the second American revolution.

Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy.

Fast, lift, sprint, stretch, and meditate.
Build, sell, write, create, invest, and own.
Read, reflect, love, seek truth, and ignore society.
Make these habits. Say no to everything else.
Avoid debt, jail, addiction, disgrace, shortcuts, and media.
Relax. Victory is assured.

The people who start the wars don’t fight them, the people who spend the taxes don’t pay them, and the people who forgive the criminals don’t live next to them.
Of course we’re going to have too many wars, too much spending, and too much crime.

Leaders come and leaders go, but don’t change the rules of the game.
Censorship is changing the rules of the game.
Lawfare is changing the rules of the game.
Importing voters is changing the rules of the game.
Time to change the people who are changing the rules of the game.

If you want to be rewarded, you have to be irreplaceable.
If you want to be irreplaceable, you have to be unique.
If you want to be unique, you have to be authentic.
If you want to be authentic, stop listening to everyone and everything else.
It’s drowning “you” out.

Free people make free choices. Free choices mean you get unequal outcomes.
You can have freedom, or you can have equal outcomes. You can’t have both.

Doctors won’t make you healthy.
Nutritionists won’t make you slim.
Teachers won’t make you smart.
Gurus won’t make you calm.
Mentors won’t make you rich.

Ultimately, you have to take responsibility.
Save yourself.

Go vote - this one matters.
Focus on policies, not people.
Vote for freedom, entrepreneurship, meritocracy.
Vote against serfdom, censorship, bureaucracy.
Go vote.

Anything the red Feds do, blue can undo, and vice versa.
But *transfer* power and money from the Feds to the states - both red and blue states will take it - and resist giving it back.
Make government compete daily across fifty models rather than every four years across two.

“Artists” calling for censorship don’t know what art is.
“Scientists” citing consensus don’t know what science is.
“Teachers” indoctrinating students don’t know what teaching is.
“Journalists” parroting propaganda don’t know what reporting is.
Programming us all day long.

Acquiring knowledge is easy, the hard part is knowing what to apply and when.
That’s why all true learning is “on the job.”

Happiness (if you want it):*
1. Meet basic needs
2. Avoid cheap dopamine
3. Leave the past alone
4. Limit desires to ones achievable at the edge of your capability
5. Find something beyond yourself (mission, children, God)
*Most people want something else.
