“This is a very common theme, that people blame capitalism for the problems of fiat money…and it’s an extremely powerful meme because it gives the people in power exactly what they want to hear” @saifedean 🔥🎯

Regular Americans are worried about AI taking their jobs. Trump’s response was to insist on giving AI a fun new name. He had no plan to address the actual concern people have. And this is the Blue Wave in a nutshell. Relentlessly focused on the shit nobody cares about, at the expense of the things they do care about.

Aajonus Vonderplanitz was given weeks to live at twenty-one. He had gone through surgery for a stomach tumor, then radiation, then chemotherapy. The treatments left him with multiple myeloma, blood and bone cancers, and a body that was failing. Doctors stopped offering options. He stopped accepting them. He left the hospital and began drinking raw carrot juice and raw milk. The decline slowed. He later added raw meat. He said the change was the one that mattered. He spent the next decades eating the same way: raw beef, raw fish, raw eggs, raw cream, raw butter, and vegetable juices. He called it the Primal Diet. He wrote books describing what he had done and what he claimed others could do. He fought legal cases to keep raw milk available. He lived on the diet himself. In August 2013 he was at a farmhouse in Thailand. He walked onto a balcony to empty rinse water from a wound on his hand. The railing gave way. He fell and died days later at sixty-six. He had refused the last treatment the doctors offered. He had kept eating the food he said had kept him alive. The railing broke.

Love that for her. Got exactly what she voted for

Want to have your mind blown? The median U.S. family income in 1971 was 252.2 oz of gold. That would be $1,053,623/yr today.

A common response is “if they truly believe this, why are they still building it?” At OpenAI, many have not deeply internalized the civilizational stakes. At Anthropic, the stakes are well-understood, but they are locked in a race to get there first - they believe no one else will act responsibly, so they must do it themselves, despite the risk.

modern travel is increasingly flying 10 hours to experience a slightly different version of the same globally optimized lifestyle. same third wave coffee. same natural wine bar. same brutalist menu. same sourdough. same beige hotel. same tasteful ceramics. same instagram lighting. what a ridiculous convergence.

BREAKING: The US Government officially posts its largest July budget deficit in history, at -$432 billion, due to an acceleration in federal spending. Interest on US debt rose +$26 billion from last July's levels to an alarming $118 billion for the month. This puts total interest expense for FY2026 up to $1.17 trillion in FY2026. As a result, interest expense has officially surpassed both National Defense and Medicare spending. In other words, the US government now spends more money just on interest than it does to fund the entire US Military or to provide healthcare for seniors. We cannot afford higher interest rates.
