“You HAVE to wear an AIDS ribbon.” “I have to?” “Yes!” “See, that’s why I don’t want to.”
Last night the Los Angeles Dodgers had their pride night as every player was wearing pride hats. Blake Treinen was not wearing a pride hat when he entered the ballgame.
@sentientist “Russian roulette works out ok all the time, some even find it fun” Neurodivergent minorities do incalculable damage pretending very real statistics and guidance for normies is all just made up.
"We urgently need a new vision for global progress" and it's a global communist dictatorship lmao
The world today is characterized by large-scale inequalities. And a climate crisis is looming over us. We urgently need a new vision for global progress in the 21st Century. One that grounds human development and equality in planetary habitability. What would it take to
Every word of this Sam Harris essay on Israel is obviously true and it’s crazy that we live in an intellectual environment where this is called contrarianism.
Ok, I will shit-talk VCs just a little bit. It was curious to see, when @spindl_xyz was being acquired by Coinbase, how many of our VCs discouraged me to sell, and pushed me to either keep on building or launch a token and pump it as much as possible. Spindl was a modest success, and early investors got a passable DPI, but nowhere near a fund maker. In their minds, this was failure. Tech is like the cliché WWI movie: the VC generals lounge in their plush tents in the rearguard, ordering frontal assaults on unassailable redoubts, no matter the casualties, to claim the glory of a capturing this hill or that town. After all, it's 10x or nothing for them: Over the top, boys! Over the top! The corpse-strewn field will be forgotten by them (and everyone else), but they'll be there to takes selfies with the one guy who somehow made it through the rat-tat-tat alive, and claim it a providential inevitability and testament to their strategic acumen. And the only right answer when the VC orders another suicide charge is to laugh in their faces and say: "well *you* go grab a rifle and take that hill then, motherfucker" and do what's best for you and your squad to get out of the mess alive. There'll be a different set of generals the next war anyhow.
I was once pitching in a board room at a top 3 VC firm for a $15M Series A. 12 people in the meeting. One of the GPs fully fell asleep. Out cold for 30+ minutes. Nobody acknowledged it. Everyone just kept going. I kept presenting my Series A slides to an unconscious man in a
@StellarVoyager1 Lower education levels, lower incomes, even literally lower latitudes. Sub works.
Nordic safety net aspirations with deeply sub-Nordic demographics requires Supra-Nordic tax rates. Math has to math.
Did you know that blue states tax the rich at the same or higher rate than the Nordic countries? ⬇️
@DanielDiMartino Bigger picture is America could have a bottom quartile standard of living that makes Norway blush if we stop importing median Somalia and Honduras, focus on the high talent that wants to come here, and let tech productivity do its thing when cheap labor is no longer available.
Overheard in Silicon Valley: “He’s an autist, but he’s our autist.”
Remote work definitely works better for those whose private life is already mostly sorted - married, close friends, kids - and aren’t looking to their workplace for social engagement.
Interesting! Remote work increased alone time and seems to have increased mental distress, perhaps in the process. A piece of evidence that this is due to loneliness is that, among people with families, remote work seems to have been fine.
Thomas Sowell: “It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.”

Sam Harris has written the best thing you’ll read today. open.substack.com/pub/samharris/…
Every single secure wealthy nation today was won with the blood, sweat, and IQ of ancestors who leveraged superior tech and culture to defeat backward people. Essays can’t protect a territory’s civilians from needing to pay the same unfortunate but unavoidable fee for progress.
The Lebanon of today is not the Levantine-Mediterranean civilization of history. Iran is not Persia. Get over the nostalgia. They are full of Islamist majorities that support terrorism and civilizational war against America and Israel. Drop the bombs.
History has shown time and time again that tyrants can be toppled. No autocrat or regime holds power without the implicit assent of the masses. Thus the notion that a terrorist regime can be isolated from civilians, who are supposed entirely innocent, is naive and artificial.
@questionasker76 Yeah the country surrounded by other Islamist regimes who can’t have their dominance BS excused by “American interference” surely would be a beacon of modern civilization but-for the US
