Dear Jamie & Elizabeth, Just as VoIP allowed anyone, anywhere, to call anyone else, anywhere else, at zero cost, so too will MoIP (Money over Internet Protocol) allow for the instant and free transfer of value. While you and your cronies may be upset about not controlling it,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

After witnessing the moral bankruptcy of Harvard and UPENN’s leadership, I said to myself: I have never been prouder to be a college dropout. Like most Americans, what I lack in formal education I make up for in moral clarity and moral common sense.

Chairman McHenry has been integral in the effort to provide entrepreneurs and startups with legal clarity. His professionalism, tenacity and ability to reach across the aisle throughout his storied career will be missed. twitter.com/PatrickMcHenry…

The crisis of campus antisemitism is revealing higher education to be a misnomer. The higher ed industrial complex is not “heightening” the American mind. It is lowering it. So much of what happens on college campuses is ideological indoctrination masquerading as… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The woke academic left went from needing safe spaces on campuses to ‘calling for genocide of Jews is not harassment unless genocide is actually committed’ in less than 4 years. Truly insane behavior

Those university professors were really proud of themselves, so smug, no doubt got encouraging, proud texts and emails from their fellow members of the industrial complex borg. No doubt 20 years from now a movie will be made recasting their cowardice as bravery against the empire

QUESTIONER: Does calling for a genocide of Jews constitute harassment? MOST AMERICANS: Of course. HARVARD & UPENN: It is “context-dependent.” Something is rotten in the state of college campuses, where the loss of moral common sense is not a bug but a feature.

In their latest podcast episode, @bhorowitz & @pmarca answer YOUR questions, from X. What's the best way to approach a VC? How have their views on crypto evolved? Should we use AI to bring iconic musical artists "back from the dead"? Their answers: youtube.com/watch?v=lPGDwq…

If it wasn't obvious before, it's certainly obvious now: The SEC has a deliberate policy preference to provide LESS clarity to the marketplace instead of more clarity. Complete disservice to our great capital markets.

The new upscale + enhance on @krea_ai really makes an image "pop." I took some trending images from @ideogram_ai and gave them a special touch 🪄

Agreed. Last week, I went to my local bodega for a Philly cheese steak sandwich. To my shock, Pablo, my absolute boy and sandwich maker extraordinaire, told me: "No hay más Philly cheese steak, Señor Jack."

Been through ~5 major moral panics in my time in the US--the cycle is surprisingly consistent: 1. Something happens 2. Elite consensus opinion emerges in a day or two 3. Slogans 4.
