The psyop men fall for is, “You can have kids anytime.” While true, the other side of this coin is, “Every day you delay kids is a day you don’t get with your grandkids.”

zcash is starting to feel exactly like the early days of bitcoin. some of the smartest ppl contributing to the project. some of the biggest midwits on the other side. bugs and existential threats. vomit-inducing price volatility. but also insanely asymmetric upside if it catches on.

Walking outside daily is arguably one of the top life style changes you can make if you don’t already. Both for longevity/physical health & letting your mind float and personal introspection. You need to be walk maxxing!

AI Slop leads to Human Slop leads to AI Slop..... Ad infinitum.
What happens when you post a real Monet and say it’s AI? The coolest art social experiment I’ve seen in a while. Thank you @SHL0MS

TODAY is the day. The DOJ must charge Fauci for lying under oath or lose the chance forever. This man oversaw gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, lied to Congress about it repeatedly, and watched as you were called crazy for asking questions. The statute of limitations expires tomorrow. The American people have waited long enough for accountability.

Watching @ZohranKMamdani's oafish, unprovoked attack on Ken Griffin blow up in his face in real time tells us so much about how contemporary leftism has been reconfigured by its elite practitioners. Firstly, Mamdani is not a "have-not." He is a Bowdoin graduate, the son of a Columbia professor and an internationally celebrated filmmaker, whose path to a New York City mayoralty ran through exactly the credentialed-creative pipeline that produces most of his voters. His base is not the working class. It is the downwardly mobile but college-educated, who were promised a particular kind of life by their degrees and are furious it didn't arrive, and who have decided the people standing between them and that life are not the radicalized professors who sold them seductive fictions or the ideologically captured universities that took their money, but a hedge fund manager in Miami. This is what I'd call Privilege Populism. The aesthetics of class struggle, performed by people whose parents or grandparents technically already won the class struggle, but with the appropriated symbolism recast in the direction of people who won it slightly more. It is war between the "haves" versus "have-mores," as some others have put it. The Mamdani's inciting video, gleeful in its innumeracy about about whether a $500 million pied-à-terre tax can actually fund anything it claims to, defiant in its ignorance about the dynamic effects of such taxation on human behavior and wealth outmigration, is the genre's mature form. Griffin's response is the part worth watching. He didn't argue or issue a statement offering a philosophical defense of capitalism. He simply pointed to his Miami construction project and said: this is the way. Then he said the part that should make every blue-state mayor uncomfortable: that what's happening in New York is "triggering the trauma I went through in Chicago." I watched that trauma play out for twenty years. Progressive politicians perform to excite the grievances and resentments of credentialed creatives, the productive class that subsidizes the city quietly relocates, the tax base hollows out, and the people who stay behind look at the resulting societal decline around them and misinterpret it as proof that they must vote even further to the left than before in order to improve things. In a warped but unignorable way, liberal mismanagement of states like Illinois and New York helped nurse the conservative governance triumphs of Florida and Texas. The Privilege Populists never figure this out, because the point is never truly to improve the lives of the "have-nots." It's to *perform* therapeutic acts of Resistance for them, on camera, against "villains" who can afford to leave and do.

If you cede the moral fundamentals, you are forced to defend with utilitarian arguments that appeal almost exclusively to the targeted segment.
Unfortunately, those in power in Sacramento seem blind to second order effects. We are now in a situation where this wealth tax is very likely to pass. This means founders who control their companies through super voting shares (instead of ceding control to VCs) need to start preparing to leave the state. I wish we could entice more founders to come and build here instead of forcing people away. The top 1% of earners pay 40% of income tax (CA actually has the most progressive income/cap gains tax system in the world). If we could double that 1% group (by building people up and recruiting people here), we’d increase our taxes by 40%! Instead, we are pushing away those top 1% of earners and risking dropping our tax revenue by 40%. And for founders with super voting, they effectively are forced to leave. Basically we need to hope that Gavin pulls off a last minute save and negotiates with the sponsoring union to pull the Wealth Tax proposition.

You only live once so try to spend as much time on your computer as possible. After you die, you won’t have access to it anymore.

The market wants to believe these DJTs truth so bad. A little too bad.

What a great summary: Debt tends to build up over multiple credit cycles in the private sector, until it reaches its absolute limits. At that point, rather than mass defaults occurring, money usually gets printed and the debt starts to get rotated up onto the sovereign level via much larger fiscal deficits. Then, when debt builds up significantly on the sovereign level, the next release valve is through inflationary currency debasement and major political resets.

So the proposed California wealth tax is an effort by a corrupt healthcare union to blackmail Gavin Newsom into giving them a bunch of free stuff. And they don't really care if it passes. They just want free stuff. Cool. Democracy.
