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.
But what about Paul graham?
😂
Sequoia raised ~$10B in new funds, and announces it is shutting down its Arc accelerator and Scouts program, merging its early-stage and growth teams, and more (@cookie / TechCrunch)

Some of us, warned you that we will lose, that you forgot about the people that voted for you, but you botted us, mocked us and scolded us.
Called us Panicans.
Fraudsters purchased pardons.
MAHA was forgotten.
Corruption was rampant.
They deserve all the investigations coming.

It’s time to ask if Steve Bannon was engaged in the sexual trafficking and pedophilia of Jeffrey Epstein.
Do conservative influencers know, it this a dirty little secret for them so they look the other way as long as they cash his paychecks
These morons really think that purposefully losing is going to push people back to the center.
😂
Gotta give them credit for going out in style.
You guys are not making it better.
You don’t just run the same playbook and expect the same result after the fundamental dynamics have changed.
What do you hope to gain through this flailing about?
You’re better than this. Or at least you could be.
And don’t make this about me. I’m fine and will be fine. When you come to me for help, remember that I said this. I can walk away while you can’t. I don’t need your humility because you wouldn’t even consider why. This isn’t about that.
I find you embarrassing because you are embarrassing.
We could do better but instead we’re locked in a cage with your incompetence.
For me this is about disgust at what you could have been but chose not to be.

Senior Reporter at Kiev Independent. Lead narrative engineer on behalf of the Ukraine govt. Skilled in the art of linguistic doublespeak, propaganda and being obtuse. This is an example for the record books 👇
Recently I learned there are ~15 entities that control the world.
Now you know too.
(No I don’t know all of them)

If you have a fun friend group you play, who’s the most powerful person on earth. Or organization. And you debate who it really is.
Is it Putin? Is it Musk? Is it Trump? An unseen hand?
Anyway, I learned recently that people
In the know describe it as 15 different entities.
Interesting.

Underclass of any society is kept as a reservoir of votes for the incumbent regime. This ain’t new.
The sympathizers are usually drawn from the upper crust and their kids. Tom Wolfe - radical chic.
There’s also extensive academic work on the composition of terrorists, it’s often the high middle to upper class.

Picture on left is Rachel and I at 25/22, about 5 years before we had kids.
Those 5 years were fun and I don't spend time regretting them, but in retrospect it was a frivolous extended adolescence.
Have kids with someone you love as early as you can. You won't regret it!
These threads are nuts.
If you find yourself taking them seriously maybe go outside for a bit.

That said we might drop a rock on Qeshm from MEO.
History doesn’t repeat but it rhymes.
If a nuclear weapon were used on Pick Axe mountain in Iran by the US or Israel or an empty field in Ukraine by Russia etc, it doesn’t matter, it would open up Pandora’s box and would make the U.S. and the world dramatically less safe. This isn’t even a question of how big of a disaster the use, in any manner, of a nuclear weapon would be. It would represent the largest foreign policy error ever by the United States if we were involved. We can only hope this claim isn’t accurate in any way.

We have a society that actively kneecaps young men in the name of ‘justice’ and then sit around scratching our heads about why men are ‘falling behind.’
It’s even worse than Anish notes here because boys make up 61% of the top SAT scores. So despite that fact and the fact that men apply about 2x as often to MIT; @MIT admits more women every year than men. It’s impossible for this to be merit based. Just mathematically impossible.
We should support X.
I like the platform a lot, but even if I didn’t transparency for the people of a society is a great virtue that would compel me to support it.
Thanks @elonmusk
Sin X nadie en Europa se habría enterado de lo sucedido en Polonia está noche. El jefe del gobierno Donald Tusk perpetró un intento de golpe de Estado aprovechando el viaje del jefe del estado Karol Nawrocky al extranjero. Asaltó el Tribunal Constitucional con la policía y pretendió destituir a presidente y vicepresidente del Constitucional con una juez leal sin competencias.
Pero no contaba con el presidente que enterado ordenó al avion dar la vuelta cuando sobrevolaba España. Volvió a Varsovia, entró por la fuerza por delante de sus escoltas en el edficio del TC pese al cerco de policias de Tusk y convocó a todas las máximasx instituciones de Supremo y Constitucional para restablecer el orden Constitucional.
Aunque la crisis continúa, parece claro que el gobierno de Tusk, el títere de Von der Leyen que jamás habría perpetrado este asalto sin permiso de Bruselas, tiene los días contados. Pero recuerden, los medios publicos y privados de toda Europa han sido cómplices del golpe de Estado silenciando toda la operación. Solo las redes sociales han alertado a polacos y europeos. Por eso quieren intervenirlas.
The money for all this came a few years ago.
We had this great idea on how to fix the Red Sea situation and restore transit via the Suez Canal.
All the usual suspects were on board and the decision went to Jake Sullivan (then NSA). He shot it down. Allegedly because they “had promised Egypt” to somebody else.
How did the Muslim Brotherhood get the money to buy off the Democratic Party?
Questions for Plato.

I am loving this Star Wars discourse
it's been legitimately good art critique and an example of critical theory at its best
I was telling some friends, we're living through a 21st-century Dennis Diderot awakening
Quick Padme rant now that the prequels are trending again.
One of the things that bothers me most about Padme and also incidentally exemplifies how she really does fit the progressive, longhoused girlfriend meme is her death.
A lot of people simplify her death into "Oh Anakin killed her."
To be clear, he did not kill her.
The movie explicitly states she was physically fine but died of a broken heart.
So this woman has 2 newborn children, but she is so heartbroken over Anakin rejecting the Republic and going to the darkside that she can't even summon the will to live to raise her own babies.
Madness. Insanity. Perfect illustration of the liberal adherence to ideology over family.
