They want everyone online named, tagged, and traceable in a country that already arrests people for wrongthink. Once your face, bank card, and address are tied to every post, you start censoring yourself for them. That is the point.

Two global powerhouses? Oh please, I see only ONE. Singapore is what competent governance actually looks like. It's pro-growth and has strong rule of law. They CANE vandals, graffiti scumbags, and anyone who thinks they can trash a world-class city. Imagine that? The streets are clean and safe for families. Merit and results are favored over feelings and cheap sloganeering. You? You took one of the greatest cities in human history and ran it straight into decay and decline. Knife crime has exploded on your watch, phone snatchings have soared, and the rate of robberies and violent crime with injury are way up. Young Londoners are so terrified to walk certain streets that many have moved to safer towns in the countryside. The streets are filthier, the tube is far more unreliable and chaotic, and businesses and talent are fleeing London. Your woke policies are the EXACT OPPOSITE of Singapore's and the results are clear. And don't get me started on how you've poisoned race relations. London is now a seething cauldron of division and resentment. While Singapore builds unity through shared standards, forced integration, and zero-tolerance enforcement, you've peddled woke grievance politics that pit communities against each other. You've obsessed over "structural racism" and "anti-Blackness," pushing narratives that scream institutional guilt at every turn, all the while anti-white sentiment and antisemitism have surged to horrifying levels on your watch. Jewish Londoners living in fear, synagogues needing extra security, streets filled with chants that call for their destruction. You downplay it, equivocate, and let the marches roll on with kid gloves. Two-tier policing has gone off the charts with police being harsh on some protests, soft on others depending on the identity or cause. Native Londoners and white working-class communities feel abandoned and demonized, while certain groups get a free pass. Your own office even put out garbage claiming a White family "doesn't represent real Londoners." You've fanned the flames of resentment instead of demanding assimilation, excellence, and color-blind law and order. So sorry, but London *was* a powerhouse, but that was before your tenure. It's not anymore. In 1946, a young Lee Kuan Yew stepped off the boat into a battered London still licking its wounds from war. Amid the mess, he witnessed something miraculous - an unsupervised newspaper stall at Piccadilly Circus. People stopped, dropped their coins, took their paper, and walked on. There was no attendant, no fear of theft. “This,” he thought, “is civilisation. A high-trust society where men police themselves.” He carried that vision home. In the 1960s, as Singapore stumbled out of colonial rule - poor, swampy, fractious - Lee vowed to forge his city state into that London he saw first hand. Over time, Lee transformed Singapore into an orderly, courteous, disciplined, garden of trust rising from a chaotic swamp. Now the tables have turned as London, once the beacon, slides into low-trust decay. It's only accelerated under your leadership. It went from high-trust to low-trust to now, negative trust. There's actually a huge trust deficit now. The former colony has now surpassed its former colonial master as the latter forgot how to govern. Singapore actually has the playbook. Since you're there, you might as well learn from the best.

This law will fundamentally alter the character of the internet. It will eliminate anonymity not just for teenagers, but for whistleblowers, political dissidents, journalists, victims of abuse and for anyone who relies on pseudonymity for safety. The internet will now be closed as an avenue of communication for these uses. It will hand governments and platforms an unprecedented map of personal behaviour - a massively retrograde and invasive development. Parents need support, obviously. But they do not need a surveillance infrastructure that forces the entire population to authenticate themselves to speak, read, or participate online. That’s not child protection. What you’re endorsing is unnecessary, disproportionate, authoritarian and contrary to the values and principles that unite civilized societies : freedom, democracy, equality and human rights.

This censorship law is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The real goal is to enable the UK government to track everyone.

It’s important to know that the social media ban for under 16s is not a ban for under 16s. It is a ban on *selected* social media for EVERYONE. Until you identify yourself.

I think the best experiential evidence that intelligence varies is not in a highly selected workplace, but in your high school classroom. Some kids were smarter than others. The smart kids were usually better in most subjects than the dumb kids, not just one or two.

The Italian island of "Lampedusa" after more than 10,000 illegal immigrants arrived by boat from Africa. The African population now exceeds the native population, which is only 6,000 people. Some reports say their numbers have reached 18,000 immigrants. Italians are calling it an invasion. They are doing this all across the West. They all have to go back.

You are a taker, not a maker. All you’ve done your whole life is take from the makers of the world. The zero-sum mindset you have is at the root of so much evil. Once you realize that civilization is not zero-sum and that it is about making far more than one consumes, then it becomes obvious that the path to prosperity for all is just let the makers make. Regarding Tesla, the reality is that I have been given nothing. However, if I lead Tesla to become the most valuable company in the world by far and it stays that way for 5 years, shareholders voted to award me 12% of what is built. Anyone who wants to come along for the ride can buy Tesla stock. If Tesla “merely” becomes a $1.999 trillion dollar company, I get nothing. This is a great deal for shareholders, which is why they voted so overwhelmingly to approve this, for which I am immensely grateful. And they did so by a margin far more than you won your political seat.

10 June: Canada tables an under-16 social media ban age checks for everyone. Five days later, Starmer announces the same for Britain. Same policy. Same timing. Same “safety” language. Coincidence - or another piece of the global censorship agenda?

McDonald's announced they're replacing cashiers with kiosks in California just after the $20 minimum wage kicked in. Shocking to absolutely no one who understands basic economics. When you artificially price labor above its market value, employers find substitutes. Machines, automation, or they simply eliminate positions entirely. The teenagers who desperately need that first job experience? Gone. The single mother trying to re-enter the workforce after years away? Priced out by someone with more skills. You've just created a legal barrier that prevents the least skilled workers from competing on the one thing they had going for them: willingness to work for less while they build experience. Politicians pat themselves on the back for "helping workers" while unemployment among young minorities hits double digits. The workers who keep their jobs benefit (temporarily), but the invisible victims, those who never get hired in the first place, don't make headlines. Economics doesn't care about your good intentions.

Andrej Karpathy (not a US citizen), the top AI scientist at Anthropic, is now barred from accessing Anthropic's top AI model. This is beyond stupid. _

34% of White college applicants in a 2021 survey admitted lying about their race to claim minority status. So take it and don’t worry about not really being a minority. Neither was Elizabeth Warren.

Elon has enough money to buy me a chipotle burrito right now, but he won't because of his immeasurable greed

The Left: "Words can hurt people." Also the Left: "Smashing someone in the spine with a sledgehammer is a legitimate form of peaceful protest."

They chose that headline and photo on purpose. It’s clear they are hoping to inspire the next Luigi Mangione. We still don’t hate journalists enough.

It's very simple, AI exponentially devalued academia in areas that everyone thought were untouchable. It's the great equalizer. Those in Academia have been screaming equality from the pulpits of Academia just got equalized. Macadamia never saw the inequality they created.

Cost-prohibitive travel is the only way to avoid Carnival Cruise style behavior. The more expensive and exclusive an experience, the more likely you are to be surrounded by educated, sophisticated, and well-mannered people.
