Under scarcity it’s expensive to be poor and cheap to be rich. But under abundance it’s cheap to be poor and expensive to be rich. Complete inversion from what you know.

Elon, there's a bunch of us in SV who will come up tonight to help on the infra side to keep the site up. If you need help just ask.

What we're seeing is once in a lifetime candor from the richest man in the world. Have you ever seen someone else in his position speak like he has today? Not in my life. This interview feels like it will be a pivot point in his life, and so we are witnessing history.

El Salvador is run by family men in their prime age. (35-50) When I worked for Synthesis School I did an exploratory call with the Bukele government. I spoke with a man close to the President. I was polite but indicated that El Salvador might not be a good fit for our advanced computer based program. Instead of diplomatic pussy-footing the representative leaned into the problem. “We are a poor and illiterate country. It’s okay to say it. But we still care about the future and education of our people above all else.” -paraphrase I was taken aback by his radical candor. This was not how these calls went with other national leadership. It was through that conversation that he made me believe El Salvador could do it. In a generation leapfrog most of the world in educational attainment. I have been blessed to interact with many powerful people in my life. The El Salvadorian government was the first group who convinced me they knew what they were doing and cared about their people(customers). Its not something I’ll forget. You want to fix the world? Elect fathers of integrity in their prime age, give them the latitude to make change. That’s it. They will take responsibility for making the hard unpopular calls. Anyone can open the money printers and say comforting lies.

The LOUD question OUT LOUD. Did Jim Baker already destroy documents, even as late as THIS WEEKEND, to cover up what was going on?

I love that Joshua is meme'ing this because LA having less/no traffic on account of ICE deportations is the singlest greatest example to normal americans about the impact of illegals. this is an example that anyone who drives can understand, which is functionally every adult.

My advice to the LGBT+ community is to cut ties with the all the letters after B immediately. I’ve been consistent on this for a few years. I know it’s an active discussion. The challenge for LGB is that most T+ people who commit crimes commit sex crimes, and many to children. The optics of that are bad and will reflect on the entire umbrella’d community. Right or wrong. The hard fought gay rights, that most people don’t mind, will be taken away by whatever authoritarian comes to power as a result of escalating left-wing violence. It’s not about what’s right or fair, it’s about cutting off the gangrenous limb before the body dies. The exact people who you should cut ties with will be triggered by this. I don’t know what better advice to give. It’s not going to be what you want. Life is about trade offs and compromise.

Yes, All the major companies discriminate against white and Asian men. I was laughed out of the room so to speak recently by an acquaintance when I asked if it was worthwhile to apply for an exec role at his company. “Impossible to be hired.” I periodically apply to companies i own stock in as market research.

Seeing a lot of people reposting this video. Some are confused why the other sex is reacting the way they are to the video. Simple model: Men - I think therefore I am. Women - I am therefore I feel. Women don’t understand why men think about the Roman Empire because they don’t appreciate that a man centers his beliefs and values as his mental point of origin, not himself. (Values maxxing leads him to the dream that is Rome) Men don’t understand why woman are not thinking of the Roman Empire or confused why they are confused that men do because they don’t appreciate that a woman centers herself as her mental point of origin not any kind of belief or value. (Any action a woman takes is the right action because she is right) Eg. This conversation is about values and identity. Men are confused women don’t act from values, and women are confused that men don’t act from themself. (This is incidentally why narcissists appeal to women) Men place the most generative values as his mental origin point. Women place themselves. The strategies are complimentary. Because family + reproduction require both sexes these viewpoints create a dynamic but generative equilibrium point.

Democrats are the party of pedophiles. Seems extreme. Except that the media has said republicans are racist for a decade now. If the republicans are racist, despite all evidence against, then I guess the democrats are pedophiles. Interesting escalation. H/t @ScottAdamsSays

I learned today that illegals can make LLCs, get trade licenses, and get insurance for their businesses that way. Then they hire other illegals to save on labor Makes it impossible for normal US citizens to compete in the trades if they don’t go the private equity route.

Just like there is a generational schism in the Democratic Party, with younger generations siding with the Palestinians and the older the Israelis, so too with the silent majority. Anyone over 45 sees that flag and thinks it’s a symbol of freedom and perseverance, a celebration of surviving the AIDS epidemic. Equal rights. Under 45? It’s a flag of tyranny and totalitarianism, a banner for the meanest ugliest and most disgusting people in our society to hide behind. To commit crimes behind. A tiny fraction of the people that flag represents have ruined it for generations.

When I looked at education across the country as part of synthesis school, it was clear that the mainstream education system both public and private was in complete collapse. (2021-2022) All the engaged parents have pulled their children out of school and now homeschool. The women you want involved do not reform, they exit. Rich people are doing this, everyone is doing this. It’s millions of students. Not just religious fundamentalist like GenX and millenial homeschoolers. Those students with engaged parents used to keep the classrooms on some level of normalcy/competence, How many of you bright students now adults were put in groups with dumb to “manage/teach” them in 80s/90s/00s? This does not happen anymore. My wife and all the women in our homeschool group would have been in teacher-parent meetings a generation ago. Now they aren’t. The effect is a total collapse in education. The data is staggering. Almost unbelievable. The school system does not provide any benefit to kids and never did. The government has mountains of data on this going back 50 years!!!! Look up the direct instruction studies from the 1960s. All the other teaching methods are bs, no effect on baseline. Now that the engaged parents are gone, we see that the baseline has collapsed. The parents were supporting the baseline, not the school. 🤯 This is why we’re seeing these results now even with methodology the same. It’s the engaged parents. They are gone. Let me say it again. The school system does not produce a statistically significant result, it was the parents of a minority of children. Those parents are GONE. The teaching does not work. It never worked. How is this even possible. Go to a k-3 classroom. With a stopwatch, how long are they in line each day? 2 hours. The statistic for learning to get 50th percentile results on the US is 37 minutes per week. 37 minutes per week. This is why women who are credentially illiterate with no money can outperform with homeschool on 1 hour per day. Massively outperform. Their kids are finished with GED by 14. I cannot believe this. And you shouldn’t either. But will you trust your kids for 6 hours a day to this? I won’t, and every competent parent I know is the same way. The anecdotes support this and the data suggests it. I’m sorry you’re brunch will be difficult now due to quality of life adjustments. Send one parent (mom) home and homeschool your kids.

When Covid hit in 2020, every single Chinese person in my mom’s building in NYC “self deported” in a 24hr period. 6 months later they were removing furniture from those vacant apartments. Our belief is that that building had students and other Chinese nationals living in it and the Chinese gov ordered them home. Vaguely remember that there were chartered flights all over the country for this. At the time it was yet another oddity and reflecting on it, setting aside the origins, showed me that China is very aware and sensitive to geopolitical reality.

I read @Cobratate's Bruv party Charter. I don't care what you think about Andrew personally. I thought the charter was awesome. It's Strong. Bold. Masculine. Exactly what Britain needs coming out of the Pakistani Gang Rape Scandals. I'm not a British Citizen, so I'm going to withhold judgment on Andrew's qualifications and chances of winning. ----- Personally, I think Charles should Abdicate, William should take up his Father's crown and dissolve the entire British Government for 20 years. Clearly their government has failed at all levels. Britain can and should return to a Monarchy. In the absense of that, not sure it's legal, I like BOLD, DECISIVE, MASCULINE action like what Andrew has attempted.

You go to the gulag for being unvaccinated not because you’re a “health” risk, but because of what it means to be unvaccinated symbolically to the regime. the longer you remain outside the ever-tightening dragnet the more dangerous you become. History rhymes.

My Alex Jones ~$1B fine take: too high, violates the 8th amendment. Also sets two precedents. 1. Politically motivated prosecutions will explode. Who’s next? 2. Sets precedent for speech to be punished monetarily. How much is Fauci or Bush responsible? What about Ukraine?

Titanic, Harry Potter, and Andrew Tate. Tate struck a nerve with this tweet and got engagement from parts of the network he doesn't usually touch. He almost revealed a fundamental truth about reality hiding just beneath the surface. Buckle up. This is pod racing. Why did some women watch Titanic (1997) a dozen times or more? Why do many men perceive that movie to be in the horror genre? What exactly is the easy-to-access metaphor from Harry Potter relevant here? And how do we know Andrew Tate of all people is f*cking around with some dangerous "magic"? What if I told you, asked you to consider, that feminine "magic" or wisdom, wasn't magic at all. But the realized experience of quantum entanglement. Every passing moment it seems more true that many unexplained feminine phenomena around women and their pan-historic role as spiritual guides are in fact examples of quantum entanglement. Let's go right to the heart of it. We know from quantum theory and science that there is a phenomena described as quantum entanglement. This is generally speaking when two particles are entangled and influence each other despite their physical distance. What happens to one, happens to another. We don't have much more science here, and theory is lacking. seriously there's a lot of hand ringing and postulation in the literature, but no more real empirical science. And nothing about humans and our perception of entanglement. For more info we have to turn to the esoteric. But all of human history and your own personal experiences, from homeopathy to anecdotes of a mother's intuition bear out that some kind of entangled phenomena is occurring. What? When a child is forming inside its mother, stem cells from the child cross the placental barrier and implant themselves throughout the mother's body. Numerous autopsy's have revealed that these chimeric cells often find their way into the mother's brain. For every child a mother has, regardless of whether the baby is brought to term, the mother's brain has a literal genetic memory of that child. It lasts for her entire life. Speculation is that these cells, which are often found near the pineal gland, carry some kind of quantum entanglement. What I'm saying doesn't have empirical scientific evidence in the traditional sense. Set that aside and ask yourself what you believe here. Cells that connect the mother and child exist at a fundamental level. A literal quantum bridge is created between mother and child. We also know that the mother's CNS undergoes radical changes during and right after pregnancy, changes that yield a neuroplasticity that literally rewires her brain. We speculate for increased empathy with the child, but what if it's also reinforcing and building this quantum bridge? What would that look like anecdotally? Stories of mothers knowing the status of their babies across space. Ever heard of a mother rushing home to a sick/in distress baby because she just "knew"? Ever talk to a mother who has a thought and then her toddler blurts it out, totally unconnected to the present context? Ever seen a mother just "know" exactly what is going on with the people closest to her? What if there was a physical basis for her understanding of this resonance? Search your feelings. and here we turn darker. I'm sorry. The chimeric quantum bridge is not just hypothesized with the stem cells of children. But also sperm. It is believed that sperm can cause the same bridge. That sperm which survive make their way into the bloodstream and lodge in the brain, near the pineal gland. That these sperm create a quantum bridge between the man who inseminated the woman, and that woman. A bridge which persists long after the man and woman have departed. From an evolutionary perspective this is a way for the man to imprint on the woman ensuring her loyalty and devotion. It is a literal conquering of her CNS. In pop culture we might see this as the PUA term "Alpha Widow." The phenomena where a woman will remember a particular sexual encounter with a kind of phrenetic and insane emotionality to the exclusion of all future encounters. Sound familiar? Something like that might cause an old woman to remember a single bout with a lover 8 decades on as the greatest romantic encounter of her life. Now, I know Titanic is a fiction story, but the reaction of millions of women to this story and men, is telling. They watched it over and over and over again. Why? because it's true. because there was a man in her past which had the same effect on her as Jack had on Rose. And if quantum entanglement can exist for the child of the woman, why can't it also exist between man and woman? What about Harry Potter? It's a mirror. When Voldemort kills a person, he's able to create a horcrux by breaking a part of his soul off into another object/person. The mirror is, every time a woman has unprotected sex, another chimera lodges itself permanently in her brain. If she has sex with too many men, the chimera's fight for dominance in her quantum reality. That fight for dominance never ends. unless there is a true alpha, and can cause a disregulation in her ability to pair bond through quantum entanglement with both her future partners and children. This would seem to provide evidence for: a desire for a virgin wife. A desire to protect a woman's virginity by her family. The real experience of the "thousand cock stare". Why men are obsessed at both the low end and high end of the spectrum with women who are not "fallen" (eg virgins). It's not about paternity. It's about how able your wife is to take care of your shared offspring and you. How able she is to "pair bond." And it's why men hunt for virgins. Because some have come to understand, despite the immense Karmic cost, that they can reverse the quantum bridges they've made to these women for their benefit. I know it seems crazy, but powerful men also seek out objects that other powerful men have owned because they believe it can "connect" them through time and space with that man. It's why they eat the hearts of their enemies and drink their blood. What if it's all about harvesting energy? What if there is a quantum connection in all things? A kind of universal force? No that's science fiction and for another day.

If I’m understanding correctly the Nasdaq exchange is trying to shut down and allow its large institutional investors the opportunity to recalibrate their positions. Literally the plebs beat the house at their own rules and now the house wants to call a mulligan and start over

during covid, @Joshua_Liu_SEA and I made a decentralized contact tracing app. It worked! Apple denied our app distribution because it would not allow for the central tracking of who came into contact with whom by gov't and other 3rd parties. That was the point!

I remember reading about this at the end of World War 2, but I’m sure it happened in other wars too. 😉 It’s how you signal you were a collaborator with the hostile regime and begin the long period of reconciliation.

Twitter still seems to be operating fine with...checks notes... 70% fewer employees in a week. If the rumors hold true it will be down 88% since acquisition by Monday. My bet is the site stays up.

ATTN: Operation Blue Beam (Aliens) is a go! The largest disinformation campaign in human history is beginning. Over the next few months the governments of the world are going to reveal that for 100s of years they have had access to alien technology. That previous governments allowed this technology to be guarded & studied in secret by government labs then third party contractors. But, due to changes in perspective + values and threats to national security these companies will no longer be permitted to have this alien technology. Going forward for our safety the governments are going to re-confiscate this technology and ban all non-approved research. They will enact a level of censorship and surveillance as well as military funding to “fight the alien threat” unlike what we have ever seen. There might even be bodies, but no non-approved independent dna testing etc. (oh they’re aliens they don’t have dna, it’s all so exotic) And it’s all a lie. There are no aliens. There is advanced human civilization tech lost to history like what Nikola Tesla worked on, that has the potential to disrupt the entire order. The proliferation of independent research into the technology as well as the desire for totalitarian surveillance are driving this disinformation campaign of Blue Beaming us. It is the independent people developing this tech via sharing notes over the internet which most threatens the status quo. That is the real goal and motive behind this “sudden” disclosure (change in government stance on this tech, which everyone from the US to the Nazis has been in a race to acquire, yes this is what cults like the Egyptians and Illuminati were doing) All efforts will be aimed at requiring compliance to a new research data censorship regime. No independent research into “alien” technology will be permitted. They might even go so far as to ban encryption for fear that people are trading illegal alien technology in secret. The word has gone out and I’m now hearing it from multiple contacts throughout government. This is so bold, I still can’t believe it. My best hope is I’m totally wrong and I have to retract in a few months. We are seeing the selective release of UAP talking points throughout the info environment by previous known regime actors. I don’t know if Twitter is compromised. Incredible. The only question you should be asking your friends to ask is why now? Why now? (The answer is that the internet is preventing the control and classification of this previously secret info)

Fun fact, haven’t checked in a decade if this still applies. When a wealthy person gives an asset to a non-profit they can stipulate how dividends from that asset are allocated. Called a grantor-retained annuity trust. So if you give a $100k asset that cash flows $10k per year, the grantor can retain the annuity payments. The moment the charity sells the asset the payments stop. In some cases the payments are tax free and the original gift is a tax write off. When I was at Princeton, a wealthy alumnus donated ~$25m in stock assigning themselves the remainder of that stocks value when it was sold. Wait what? Yes, instead of a cash flowing asset the alumnus donated stock because they wanted the delta in stock value from when the stock was given and when it was sold. Here’s the thing. This alumnus gave the gift for the purposes of building a new building on campus, stipulating that the stock could not be sold until that was completed construction. Between the time of the gift and the completion of the building project the stock went from $25m gift value to $75m real value due to time + stock appreciation. This alumnus took a $25m tax deduction immediately and then received a $50m tax-free payment at building completion some years later when the stock was sold. Is Pelosi doing something similar? I don’t know. The specific rules on how to do this change constantly, and I am “sure” this particular loophole is no longer there. But I bet another one that looks similar is.

This is a pro-family, pro-children, pro-student account. I want all my followers to be blessed with many beautiful children. I also want us to stand and fight for the rights of those who can’t themselves, and will always see my duty as a father and citizen to do so.

There’s no direct evidence that #1 is true. All the evidence that vaccines work is circumstantial/correlational at best with many more compelling confounding factors like sewage treatment, sanitation, pesticide reduction. All of the vaccines on the childhood schedule were admitted as biologics, none have undergone pharmacological grade double blind testing with placebos. Since the 1980s vaccine manufacturers have not held liability for their products and as a result have poor quality control. Batches of vaccines are spread around so people don’t know they were badly made/stored/etc. The science behind vaccines w/r to the immune system is half a century out of date. It precedes popularly debunked theories like the lipid hypothesis, and Alzheimer’s plaque fraud. People who’ve brought up that the model for the immune system is inaccurate are silenced and “excommunicated.” It’s been shown across multiple studies that childhood diseases like measles confer lifelong protection for much more deadly conditions like cancer. There is no evidence, not even correlational that the mumps vaccine works or has ever worked. Stacking vaccine adjuvants like aluminum has never been studied directly. And when you look at indirect data it’s pretty clear the adjuvants cause neurological conditions like dementia and ASD. You can look this up yourself by comparing population level prevalence of ASD among highly vaccinated and unvaccinated populations. —- It’s great that people are open to suggesting the schedule needs to be revisited But don’t be assuaged that the tech works. It doesn’t. It’s a huge money grift.

This happens when you don’t have children by 29 as a woman. Very common. Most turn to alcohol, drugs, or both.

For men or women? She makes $800k per year but wants a guy who makes more. I think she’s a headache and wouldn’t recommend anyone.

To all the CIA guys following me. First off, hello, I do deep analysis on my engagement and followers from ten+ years of Twitter API access. I know who many of you are. Second off, I’m not overtly hostile towards you though I’m also not “one of you” as my file with the agency reflects. My recommendation is to run a color revolution in UK, Australia, New Zealand, etc. the 5 eyes countries are compromised. The Jig is up so to speak. I think at this point your best bet is to accelerate the right wing takeover of these countries and start over. As you know there are major demographic headwinds in the US with regards to which domestic policies generations coming down the pipeline will support. Facilitating new governments in Australia, New Zealand etc is something you should seriously consider. You might even partially rehabilitate your image with the American people. Not to mention the benefit for America’s new manufacturing posture. This would be a great way for a new generation of guys to get theirs coming out of the agency. You’ve been looking for an aligned gesture to the admin, this could be it. Business as usual risks the annihilation of your life’s work. As always, I can be reached via signal.

We’re passing through a tech singularity now. No one is tech is able to make predictions about tech 90+ days from now. I don’t remember this happening before, even in the late 1990s.

Seconded. Meta is reportedly in “chaos” to respond. Llama 4 is allegedly polling below R1. Don’t know where grok 3 comes in. There is a national security implication as R1 appears to be built, like many Chinese products, from stolen IP. However, they have advanced that IP further than any published labs. The US needs to get real serious about IP theft or it will not stay in the vanguard. Used to take China months to copy, but if they are listing research they can “copy” and release ahead of the teams they copied from.

This guy has figured out the current Meta and I'm here for it. ----- I had the chance to interact with his administration a few years and jobs ago. They are the real deal. Basically a bunch of dads who want to make the world better.

there's just a green light winking in the distance.

🙏🏻❤️ Scott Adams.

this is a great example of you being an asshole man.

Today sealed it for me. The indictment was so sloppy. They don’t care. Cernovich called this years ago. Judges and lawyers in 2024. GOP has no path. Only thing we can hope for is Biden holds on and we don’t get 2-term gruesome Hair-gel hitler Newsome. I’m from CA and SF. You. Do. Not. Want. Newsome. I get Biden is bad, corrupt, and incompetent ( really? $10m? Obama got $500m!) but the people behind Newsome are anti-human.

Your mental model for the people whose houses have just burned down in Southern California should be the Ents from Lord of the Rings. These are not poor ethnic Hawaiians who are treated as livestock waiting to be culled by billionaires and large multi-national corporations after the Lahaina fires. These people are also not the woke nomenklatura you see like the anarcho-Marxist mayor of LA or the hair gel Hitler governor of California. These people fund the people who fund the people who fund the people who install those woke progressive idiots. Gavin is not his Father who was a Getty’s money man. These people are the peers and descendants of Getty. Including the Getty’s. It’s hard to articulate how cognitively divorced from reality this constituency was until a few days ago. Now they are homeless and will come headlong into the California political apparatus they’ve long “that’s for poor people” avoided. Imagine Bill Ackman and how much of a change he’s made by shifting towards Trump. Now imagine dozens to hundreds of Bill Ackmans that will aim their power, greed, and petty vindictiveness at California politics. The bull dyke lesbians who run the California Coastal Commission are going to fold before the fight even begins, and the resulting political war will have ramifications in California and the US for generations. We have not seen this demographic participate in politics personally for a century.

Good for Switzerland. Even if this is their standard MO to do this so publicly right now sends a strong message to the EU community.

100% support. Get them out. We left SF because it became too crazy, kid was hit in the face by a “homeless” person. I’ve told that story before. Now there are illegal Venezuelan aliens outside the library down the street down here in suburbia. These are not, “poor refugees” these are military aged males with backpacks and “that look.” I know it’s not drugged out users this time, but it’s the same inaction from “suicidal empathy” driving this outcome. I want it to stop. Trump needs to deport 20m, 30m, 50m illegals. And we need our cities safe. We need to clean up the cities. I don’t care that the Supreme Court says these people can live on the street. It’s not okay. Court needs to change its ruling. It’s time to do its job for the American people, not some imaginary Legal cultural board thing. We’ve done the polite way, it doesn’t work, we get owned. I want to be loud, and obnoxious, and politically active.

This story had a profound impact on me when I first read it as a young father. Happy Father’s Day!

Cerno has gone on an epic rant for the past 12(?) hours on how the original MAGA influencers were coopted to present “moderate” center left voices, then betrayed. You should read it. Not just for the history lesson but because the counterpunch to Trump 2024 is in development. One influence op I watch went silent for a couple weeks and is now testing new counter-narratives.

Deport at Scale. We stand behind you JD. If you need help, I know a way to find millions of illegals via some consumer databases.

My dad just bought a model Y. Big smiles today from the family. He’d been a holdout.

About a month from now Apple is going to announce support for using its silicon neural engine to run commercial and open source LLMs on the iPhone, etc. This will enable the work @BrianRoemmele is currently popularizing to come to Apple’s entire ecosystem. Strap in. 🚀🚀🚀

And to get the necessary early career experience to get on the ladder to begin with. Ask me how I know. 😂

i was a self taught infrastructure engineer first. moved over to sales because it paid more.

Here Vance explains that we can build stuff indigenously, I agree. We don’t need an army of $70k/yr h1b’s to be competitive. Hire Americans straight out of college. —- Here’s my anecdote. I went to an Ivy League school in 2006-2010. We had an issue with grade inflation so the school made a policy of grade deflation. This meant they artificially lowered the number of high grades. The policy was a total socialist disaster and has been reversed since but not for me about about 10 years worth of students. Because we imported so many foreigners from low trust societies (Chinese, Indians, etc.) we had major problems with cheating. The school had been famous for its honor code which extended to math and science problem sets. The foreign students would cheat (several of my foreign friends got caught and “suspended” for a semester) and then get higher grades as a result. This put pressure on everyone else to cheat and the trust of the entire system went down. The net result was a destruction of the culture around the honor code. This also had the added bonus of raising black achievement because they also could participate in “sharing” homework, tests, etc. so the stats the admin cared about went up. I know JD’s point is about American companies, but the culture degradation that leads to the race in companies starts in the universities.

White fragility on our private school’s summer parent reading list was the snowball that started the avalanche for me. “Why is this here? What other books?” Omg crazy! Let’s go to school. Blm stickers in classroom window, blatant propaganda. Meet with principle. “We just did a debate on Ukraine” “Oh really what was the pro-Russian side?” Blank stares. “But anyway, we came to discuss the reading list. What is that?” “Oh we have to have a dei plan per the independent school credentialing report or we get downgraded.” Proceeds to talk for ten minutes about total bullsh*t the kids will now be mandated to learn. I turn to my wife. We’re out. Walked away from a years worth of tuition in Bay Area private school after 6 weeks. If you knew the full context your mind would be blown. Don’t care about my experience at that school (12 years) or my wife’s (6 years) or my dads (12 years on board) or my father in laws (20 years many as board chair). Everyone has lost the plot.

Canceling student debt feels like a last resort sort of move. Buying votes in the short-term. It will spectacularly backfire for many reasons. Including, the people who worked hard to pay their debts/not use debt will be angered. Those are the people the economy needs most.

It would be interesting for Trump to go to the graduation anyway. They're going to put him in jail either way, if he goes, he can choose the when and where/optics of it.

Starting in the 70s Australia was taken over by the IMF through public debt. They are basically owned by the globalist cabal and run today by China. Mel Gibson of all people has a video from the 80s explaining that today would happen and that’s why he was leaving Australia.

We don’t need to subsidize ccp kids getting educations. Growing up 20 years ago I was told having these kids in our top universities would reform their countries. That is bullsh*t. They just use their understanding of both cultures to benefit themselves and their home countries. Everything not bolted down was copied/stolen was I was an undergraduate.

Good for you Shaun. I hope this isn’t the last we hear from you like Mozilla CEO guy.

I love that he got rid of Affirmative Action. Not a lot of stuff the President does has affected me personally, but affirmative action is a policy I’ve witnessed first hand. It’s toxic and corrosive and I’m glad to see the federal government leading here in its removal.

This guy dies and no one will care next week. We don’t have a consensus information environment, so these kinds of stories, which might have spurred social/political action in generations past, do not reach critical mass. The oligarchic elite see this happening and will continue to exploit it.

What is happening? Did you see this? whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…

I’ve had a similar experience. When I was younger I was more middle of the road on Israel. I saw them as a state with flaws like any other. They had good policies and bad. At times it seemed like the Palestinians were always in a lose-lose situation regardless of what was happening. This made me sympathetic to them. Then I met Israeli’s and asked their experience. They told me of good stories and bad. But that the bad justified many of the actions the government took. I’ve also met Palestinians and their stories both reinforced that Israel was at times justified, and at times in the wrong. But both sets of people gave good arguments for why Israel should defend itself the way it does with regards to the Palestinians and the greater Arab world. That’s an eye opener. Then post Oct 7th I saw how the very people fighting so hard to take away my rights here in the US, and make my children’s future less bright were vocal cheerleaders of Hamas brutality. They didn’t frame things in terms of a war is hell/both sides point of view but an insane and deranged lust for total war/violence against Israel and Jews. It’s a crazy experience to be lectured your entire life about seeing both sides and social justice empathy by a group of people, and then to see them celebrate the rape and violation of peaceful festival goers and those seniors at the bus stop as justified. Then they double’d down. I continue to have many criticisms of Israel which i voice in private and sometimes in vague generalities publicly.. But mostly, I am an unequivocal supporter in their right to assert sovereignty and to defend their people. And that’s because the people who are framing them as villains and enemies are so radically aligned against my interests. I would be much more sympathetic to the position of the ICC/ICJ and Palestinian aid groups if the people trying to deny my right to free speech, civil society, etc. weren’t their avowed allies. Sometimes it matters who is on your side, and this is one of those times. If I was a Palestinian I’d be doing all I could to distance my people from these insane Marxist clowns.

Trump’s big innovation has been hiring dads with practical expertise into positions of power throughout his administration and listening to them. Historic.

ATN: Corrupt insiders attacking our team (outsiders) Something significant is going on with @johnkonrad Recently John was retweeted by @elonmusk and then his troubles intensified. John is a maritime outsider who writes things critical of, and often time embarrassing about our maritime establishment. As an outsider John has suffered years of abuse from the establishment. The reason why is because he’s embarrassed them by bringing true stories (some of which I’ve personally verified) to the forefront. Now that “our side” has won the election and the Buddy in Chief has elevated John to a very public position, the institutional creatures are leveling personal attacks against John. The goal is to bury his legitimate criticism and “whistleblowing” with spurious ad hominems. I’ll be blunt, personal cancellations don’t do anything for me. The situation in US Maritime is dire. In need of urgent once in a century reform. John is an outsider and has a colorful personality. I’m sure like all of us he’s made mistakes, acted an asshole, and done things he’s not proud of. So long as he hasn’t committed a crime or treason against the United States, which by all accounts he has not, I don’t care what he’s done. We need the outsiders who spoke truth to power before to be central in advisory roles as we retake and reform institutions. I will continue to support John in this capacity. I suggest you do too. Especially Lurkers. The people who stood tall with the truth while it was unpopular must be supported as this transition continues. This is how we know we are on the right track. John, keep being a disagreeable mf’er as we continue to push the Naval/Maritime establishment for reform. Abolish the Jones Act!

This exact thing is why archive.org was down/scrubbed. Theres a ton of data in old appropriations bills, and other large data disclosures that AI like grok can put together to find…interesting patterns.

Go interview someone that does cremations for a living. The technical side of it. Ask them how much energy to burn a body. Now extrapolate that to the claimed deaths in Germany during WWII. Did Germany have enough energy to burn 6 million people?

By far we have the best people. This is why I think we can close the border and send everyone back. It’s not a mainstream popular position but one I’ve held for a while. The best tech hackers I’ve met are similar to Marc andreeson. Normal guys who like to tinker from the Midwest.

Yes, and…. The rabbit hole goes much deeper. Almost every job in Education, Healthcare, and Government is also an unnecessary UBI. Not just NGOs.

JD Vance is a monster at these media relations. His comment last night about the cat story to CNN was another masterclass

Note on CrowdStrike “outage.” —- This is a case study in greyzone/hybrid warfare. The CrowdStrike outage is an example of a deniable infrastructure attack. It relied on a human being “pushing” a missconfigured patch update to all crowdstrike’s customers. Was this deliberate or accidental? We’ll never know. But why would it be an attack rather than incompetence? Timing. Incentive. Method. Let’s start with Method. Going back over a decade there have been numerous complexity cascades kicked off by single points of failure within large IT infrastructures. Out of this experience a kind of professional methodology has emerged. First, do not have single points of failure in your infrastructure. This seems obvious but is devilishly difficult to do in practice as the “surface” your protecting is complex and constantly changing. Second, when you do have a single point of failure, create process to gate updates to that point so that it doesn’t take out your production infrastructure. Every large organization has even in their contracts a proscribed process between client and vendor for updating these single points of failure. Third, when you cannot avoid a full simultaneous change to production, schedule it well in advance and on a weekend. It is almost inconceivable that an honest actor at CrowdStrike would touch a system, let alone push an update that could immediately affect production customers without following their process. Honest people in the industry know that this is possible and don’t want hospitals, airlines, banks, going down because they wanted to push an update at a random hour. Fourth, all of these systems are heavily reliant on compliance and automation to push updates. In crowdstrike’s side and on customer’s side. There is a huge amount of software to prevent changes like this from going everywhere all at once by accident. It’s always possible, even probable, that bugs will exist that circumvent all this software. That is what happened here. Incentive. As a security person I would not use CrowdStrike. I wouldn’t use them because there is a Nexus of corruption surrounding Ukraine, and CrowdStrike is attached to that Nexus. They lied about the DNC hack and they have stakeholders who benefited handsomely from that lie. Also if you look at the incentives for all the people involved to buy and deploy CrowdStrike, it’s not something I want to be anywhere near. Timing. These kinds of errors happen. But I’ve not worked with an engineer on such a critical system who would be messing about with this sort of thing when it happened. I’ve been a part of dumb deployments that have taken out global infrastructure for lots of people. Like, tens of millions of people effected. It happens. No doubt. It’s possible an honest error happened here, but not probable. —— So what do I personally believe happened? 25% actual human error. 75% deliberate outage. If it’s a deliberate outage, and I think it was, who and why? Harder to quantify, but I’d surmise there is infighting going on between the Deep State and some of their factions. Imo, CrowdStrike is a rootkit/dead man’s switch into most of the Megacorp infrastructure. Similar to SolarWinds but instead of being an op that was stolen/co-opted, this is more like the Clipper chip. From the beginning a deliberate single point of failure. Anyway the Ukraine war is going poorly, and I think somebody somewhere on the side receiving money there wants to remind everyone they have leverage. It’s also a convenient time to do that to change the media story coming out of the RNC/donald Trump assasination attempt. If everyone is focused on something tangible like not being able to use the bank, hospital, or plane, they are more likely to forget the intangible. But I don’t think that was motive enough.

Sadly true. My grandmother was a first party witness to WWII atrocities, testified under seal. What I learned in school is not what she testified to. She never let us speak about it while she was alive.

So Good they Ban you for Life. 🤣 cc. @JoshuaLisec @elonmusk if there was ever a time to launch a digital products/ecommerce store...

This is an example of censorship via network partitioning. It’s very very clever. What’s happening and why? Follow-follower relationships form a social graph. Your location in a graph’s region is related to the density of connections to other nodes in that region.

Keep pressing the Tim Walz stolen valor story. Here’s an anecdote from me. I know guys in the “happy wife, happy life” camp. They do whatever their wife tells them. It’s sad, but what can you do. The stolen valor story, for at least one, is creating a massive cognitive dissonance in him. He can’t simultaneously be a kind/rational guy and vote for someone who claimed to be in a war and wasn’t. It’s enough to cause that friction with his wife who wants him to vote Harris to fit in. Guy can’t reconcile this issue because his self identity is honorable. So keep pushing that story.

100% agree. As you said earlier about infighting. If it’s not really serious or obvious malicious intent, we should let it go. We’re trying to move fast. Doing a ZBB on the federal government is insane. And necessary. USAID disclosures make that abundantly clear. And that was a $40bn line item. We need Doge on point to audit Medicare , social security, and DoD. And this said as someone who is actively looking, now that Trump is in office, to do a tiny project with darpa.

Amazon has made a costly and catastrophic mistake by choosing to list tariff prices. Reason being is the vast majority of goods that are tariffed on Amazon have been artificially lowered in value upon declaration. Eg, they import $50k worth of goods in a container but submit it as $10k to lower their tax. Their action has spurred the adoption of supply train trace-ability. And with cryptography and (sigh) blockchains, we can get real good at this. The net effect is Amazon and the Chinese have given away the game. Huge boom for the American consumer, but will annihilate Amazon in the short term.

Lotta people who were wall to wall about Palestinians after Oct 7th are dead quiet now after the Nigeria Christmas Massacre. I’ve been watching/keeping notes.

Additionally you cannot buy a catastrophic only plan in California that covers, car accidents, general accidents and cancer. For my family of 6 it would cost about $1600 per year. Which is the exact policy anthem blue shield used my premiums to buy when I was with them paying $2400/mo like this lady. With a $14k deductible at the time. The other big scam here is every legitimate doctor is “out of network” and the PPO plan she has pays 40% for out of network costs, but only on the “assessed value” of the services code. So we went to a normal 1-yr old pediatrician visit in San Francisco which was $483. Anthem assessed this service at $40 and I sh*t you not sent us a reimbursement check for $16. Thankfully the $24 delta was applied to our deductible, but not the other $443. That year we spent $51k on medical costs for about $3000 in services. I kept notes and sent to wsj but they couldn’t give a sh*t. Health insurance is a scam, you’re on your own.

This is what happens when you're not intentional about the media that you consume. The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) introduced the new jump-cut style into movies. Since that movie, that style has come to dominate how editing is done. This style has even translated to children's movies and shows. You can watch a hyper-optimized dopamine addicting version of this through the Mr. Beast videos. If you consume too much of that style your brain gets primed and you find any other editing style intolerable. This is what commentators like @johnrobb mean when they say that the "network is rewiring the neurons in your brain." Pornography, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube shorts are all reinforcing this style. It's both insidious in that you don't see it coming on, and dangerous in that it makes you more susceptible to a kind of dopamine entrainment. Entrainment in this context is where Ideas and Analysis are dumped directly into your mind through activation of your limbic system. If you don't consume information intentionally, and almost nobody does (despite telling me they do), you will fall victim. This is what my "info diet" work has been about. There are now hundreds of people who have gone through the material and live better lives. The Detox linked in my profile is NOT about abstaining from social media, but retraining your media consumption habits so that you entrain yourself, rather than someone else.

Was there an update on Maui? How many people ended up “missing” are we still missing hundreds of kids? I can’t find much information on this. And am curious.

the smile by the director at 35s is an example of what happens when people who are bad at lying, lie.

Unreal. Has anyone else on the pro-Palestinian side said anything like this? This guy is the current best leader in the world.

Pity this only has 1.7m views. As a history nerd, I enjoyed this lecture. I want the second 2/3rds though!

This article isn’t just a smoking gun on the government committing crimes, it’s the body, shell casings, and forensic report as well. Even if you don’t follow the specifics of government censorship, you can come up to speed quickly by reading this one article. Please do. —— As we found out last year… the government. (CISA, DHS, etc.) directed NGOs (EIP, etc) to use their position with social media companies to request those social media companies (using contractors employed at specially formed LLCs, “no your honor, twitter/meta/google, did not censor Americans”) to censor Americans political speech with the express purpose of swinging a presidential election. They did, it worked. (That meme guy went to jail for crimes thousands of people actually committed, that’s why they sent him to jail. He’s rotting in solitary now and so far we know not why.) Honestly, I won’t be surprised when the disenfranchised in this country turn to other means to express themselves than speech or the ballot box.

RIP a Legend. Survived torture in Concentration Camp. Lived to be 100. Impacted millions of lives. Recognized by every organization she worked with. Forced into a covid ward after a false positive test, contracted Covid there and died. Alone. Grandma Alice was a bad bitch

The technology for uranium enrichment is from the 1940s… Guess how much it costs to enrich uranium today, when the process is designed with modern technology and first principles? 100x cheaper? 1000x? There is no reason we can’t do nuclear. Best argument I’ve heard on why not nuclear is that our power demands will outstrip capacity of earth much faster than people think.

Within a generation or so we will give up GDP/capita as the north star and return it to beauty. Specifically the aesthetics of celebrating God’s Creation.

This is one of, if not the most important concepts you must understand in our present climate. If there is not a strong check to wokism, lawfare, communism, lying with data/science, etc. it will go further and get stronger. And right now, there has not been a check. At all. Republicans in power have been impotent to stop the march of communism in the academy for 50+ years. As an example. One way or another it will end. I hope it ends sooner rather than later.

“Michael, you’re too extreme!” “Don’t generalize, antagonize, and polarize so much, the world is more nuanced.” I get this feedback all the time from my “elders.” They either immediately with my response. “If that worked, it would have worked 50 years ago.” People copy what works. It’s the entire learning strategy of humanity. So if I’m “selected” for a particular style it’s because that’s what works. This is how I can characterize the tone of a generation. Millenials are much more “extreme” than their parents. And GenZ just “does stuff”. We worry about political violence. It won’t come from millenials who say “edgy” things. It will come from the guy who was forced to get the vaxx in hs to play football who watches his friends get sub-clinical myocarditis. Some of whom died. I know some of those guys. They are…unhappy.

Much sooner than you think, the lack of children will be the only political issue. It’s dark.

My Warren Buffet take is that history will be unkind to him.

You’re talking about the doctor now, but your OP leads with ivermectin and its efficacy as part of a multi-modal cancer treatment. When you start by attacking the method, which does show legitimate promise backed by non-quack science, and then attach it to a discredited doctor, you are engaging in an information laundering operation. You are linking something legitimate with someone illegitimate with the goal, implicit or explicit, of undermining that legitimate thing. Many people suffering from cancer are low information and when you make posts like this, you come off as an asshole to those of us who aren’t.

Tucker broke the Overton seal by asking about the qualitative evidence for female political leaders at about 28 minutes in. Is there any evidence that women are good, even or better, leaders than men?

Yes, exactly. My sense is there are about 2-3k men worldwide who are qualified from her perspective. Think about that. She’s slept with at least 40 men, and is 37, and she thinks that one of 3000 men in the world will sweep her up. Crazy.

Tbh I remember this working in 2001. They found hijacker passports, unburnt and unfolded (no creases, aka brand new) at ground zero in the aftermath of the WTC coming down. What was it that Bush said, fool me once, shame on me… fool me, fool me..well you know fool me.

I’m a big states rights, 10th amendment guy, generally don’t think the federal government can be competent at local administration. And… The federal gov has a remit to defend the country from foreign interests and I think a blanket ban on foreign land ownership is a good idea.

Lmao. More h1b madness and how it enabled the thermos fraud.

This is the norm not the exception with homeschooling. When you take out standing in line and woke catechisms, turns out school doesn’t take very long and children learn a lot. Or you could “socialize” them into becoming retarded NPCs by sending to school. Yikes!

I asked my Canadian relatives. No one could articulate why the US shouldn’t invade Canada. As I said to them, Canada is not a real place.

This is too painful for me to make a signature issue on this account as we are still dealing with fallout from two vaccine injured children and all the knock on effects of that. One nearly died in my arms the other is severely “autistic”. Glad Cerno with his huge platform and influence is now pushing into the core issue. The vaccines for kids have tradeoffs that parents are not aware of and when mom’s bring it up they are mislead and gaslit at best about it. Oh and the docs are financially invented to do so.

I had this experience in San Francisco, in January 2020. A homeless person struck my 3yr old in the face while we were inside a restaurant for lunch. About a week earlier two teens murdered a pregnant woman a couple blocks from my wife and I’s first apartment in the tenderloin. The new DA, Chesa Boudin, did not prosecute them because they were black. The homeless person who struck my 3yr old in front of me was black. They were also crazy, as only a crazy person would assault a toddler eating her lunch. The only resolution would have been a likely fatal (these people carry in SF) escalation. And I wasn’t going to lose as a father of two (soon 3) kids. I would 100% have gone to jail, as confirmed by my friend in the DAs office, if I had responded. Possibly for years. Life ruined for standing up for my family. These people, waves broadly, are acting with legal impunity. There is no justice. We left SF 5 weeks later and took our taxes with us. I wish people would stop this grandstanding about how they’d respond. If you were white like me in one of these juridictions, you’d get rekt.

Alcohol will kill you in a moment, but weed will kill your spirit over your entire lifetime. seen it with my own eyes, both alcoholics and weedheads. there are high functioning alcoholics who move society forward in great bounds. I've never encountered the analogous weed head.

By far the best way to win is to win.

Back in 2000 my mom was mid career in her job as a wealth manager. She had the Nortel account, which at the time was a hot telecommunications company. She had 100 guys that had more than a $10m position in the stock. She held an event for them and their wives about diversification. “Just take enough off the table to pay off your house.” Guess how many sold even a little to diversify? 0 —— At the same time, I was in 6th grade. One of my classmates dad was ceo of a different hot telecom stock. On paper his shares were worth >$200m. They took out loans and bought a $20m ranch in Montana, flew private, etc. I will never forget two things. One, his mom had been a stewardess and now would talk down on my mom and the other working moms at the parents coffees. About how dumb they were for not marrying a rich tech guy. Two, we used to have “computer time” in the back of the class to do some truly epically bs tasks. So instead I had a fictitious trading account. You know what I mean, you get $1m and you learn how to trade. Anyway my mom was trying to teach me about different sectors, reading sec filings etc. internet was relatively new. So just learning how to pull down all this stuff was interesting. Anyway, my friend’s dad, the ceo, learned that we were doing this together and wired him $1m in his company’s stock to day trade with me in 6th grade. Here I was talking about dividend stocks, blue chips, and some high tech exposure and my friend was trading $1m in real money. You know what happened. Stock mooned during the lockout window, then went to zero. Everything was bought on margin and they owed $50m+ in AMT tax, completely wiped out. His parents divorced and the mom went back to being a stewardess. —— Everyone has these stories. Whether it’s $5m or $5k. Sell for your principle on doubling and take wins off the table when you can. Even f*cking sequoia just got wrecked by becoming a perpetual fund shenanigans. Just do it, then buy a tent and disappear. —— Please keep beating the drum. Everyone sees the watches and lambos. Nobody sees the trailer park alcoholism 5 years later. Suicide. I’ve seen it. Please listen to this cartoon.
