Elon Musk created thousands of millionaires in his career.
Elizabeth Warren created 1, herself.

USA. A restaurant. I could not finish my meal, and I bowed my head in shame.
Then they handed me a box, and I nearly wept.
The plate had been enormous. I am a samurai; I do not surrender to food. But this was a siege, and halfway through I knew I could not win. I set down my fork. In my country, to leave food on the plate is to insult the rice, the farmer, the cook, and your own ancestors, roughly in that order. So I sat there, quietly making peace with my dishonor.
Then the waitress smiled and said the most beautiful sentence I have heard here.
"You want a box for that?"
A box. To take it. Home.
I went still.
"You would save it?" I asked.
"Yeah, of course. It's still good."
It's still good. Three words my grandmother said to me a thousand times, across an ocean, in another language, over a bowl I was not allowed to leave.
I had crossed the world expecting to find everything different here. And a stranger in an apron had just handed me my grandmother's exact heart, in a small paper container, without knowing she had done anything at all.
I took the box. I held it like a newborn. I bowed to her, to the cook, and to the half a sandwich within, which would now live to see another day.
That night I ate it by a window, slowly, the way you eat something that was nearly lost. It was, if anything, better the second time. Everything saved is.
So now I order too much on purpose. Not from greed. From faith. Because I have learned that here, the same as home, a meal does not end when you are full.
It ends when the box is empty.
And the box is never empty the same day.
Which means a good meal can last forever,
as long as someone, anyone, still believes it is too good to waste.

Ça fait un moment que je me pose des questions sur le bilan (provisoire) de Milei en Argentine. On lit tout et son contraire. Alors j'ai arrêté de lire les commentaires et j'ai regardé les chiffres bruts.
L'Argentine, c'est l'expérience grandeur nature que les économistes attendaient depuis 50 ans. Même pays. Même peuple. Même culture. On change UNE variable : la méthode économique.
Avant : des décennies de gestion étatiste et péroniste, "redistributive". Le résultat concret ? 211% d'inflation, 42% de pauvreté, un État en déficit permanent qui finance son train de vie en faisant tourner la planche à billets.
Puis arrive Milei. Méthode inverse, brutale, assumée : on coupe, on déréglemente, on arrête d'imprimer.
Deux ans plus tard (photo à son arrivée (fin 2023) vs aujourd'hui) :
Inflation annuelle : 211% → 31%
Inflation mensuelle : 25% → ~2%
Déficit public : −5% du PIB → 1,8% (excédent)
Croissance : −1,6% → 4,4%
Pauvreté : 42% → 28%
Sans débat. Jugez par vous-mêmes.
Et le point essentiel : ces gains ne vont pas "aux riches" ou "aux marchés". Ils vont d'abord aux plus pauvres.
L'inflation est l'impôt le plus injuste qui existe — elle frappe ceux qui n'ont aucun actif pour se protéger. La diviser par 7, c'est rendre du pouvoir d'achat à ceux d'en bas. Et 14 points de pauvreté en moins, ce sont des millions de gens, pas une ligne Excel.
Pendant un siècle, on a expliqué aux Argentins que l'État les protégerait en dépensant toujours plus. Résultat : un des pays les plus riches du monde en 1910, ruiné. On vient d'inverser la méthode. Regardez le résultat.
À un moment, il faut accepter ce que les faits racontent : sur le terrain économique, la méthode libérale a livré en deux ans ce que des décennies de socialisme avaient promis sans jamais tenir. Et ça profite d'abord aux plus modestes.
On peut détester le style de Milei — la tronçonneuse, l'outrance, les sorties improbables, il n'a rien d'un homme d'État classique. Mais on ne juge pas une politique économique au style de celui qui la mène. On la juge à ce qu'elle fait à la vie des gens.
Et les chiffres ont parlé.

HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD:
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are FACTS.
Up until the 1980's, Social Security cards expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes.
Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message was removed.
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. His promises are in black, with updates in brackets.
1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary [No longer voluntary],
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program [Now 7.65% on the first $90,000, and 15% on the first $90,000 if you’re self-employed],
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year [No longer tax deductible]
4.) That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program [Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent]
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income [Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed].
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ — you may be interested in the following.
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US
AND MY FAVORITE:
Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments!
The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!
Now, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, though.
Some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn’t so but it’s worth a try.
How many people can YOU send this to?

When I was Muslim, I used to ask Christians:
“If Jesus was really God, why did He eat, sleep, and bleed like us?”
And honestly, I used to ask it with pride like it was some unbeatable argument.
But later I realized something:
That question was not exposing Christianity.
It was exposing my misunderstanding of what kind of God Jesus claimed to be.
Because the real question is not:
“Why would God become weak?”
The real question is:
“What kind of God would willingly step into human suffering at all?”
Islam taught me about a God who was distant and untouchable.
But Christianity introduced me to a God who stepped into hunger, exhaustion, grief, pain, betrayal, blood, and suffering with us.
And suddenly His humanity stopped feeling like weakness to me.
It became proof of love.
If Jesus ate, it means He came close enough to experience hunger beside us.
If He slept, it means He embraced the exhaustion we carry.
If He bled, it means He did not stand above suffering watching us from a distance.
He entered it Himself.
Philippians 2 says Christ emptied Himself and took on flesh.
Not because He stopped being God, but because He wanted humanity to finally see what God is actually like.
And it turns out God is willing to suffer for the people He loves.
That changed everything for me.
Because every other religion demanded sacrifice from humanity.
Jesus became the sacrifice Himself.
And no prophet in history ever claimed that.

Interesting perspective… would explain a lot about good people, friends who stick with the Democratic Party despite the objective facts being contrary to their beliefs…

To Democrats, politics is religion.
The media are their prophets.
And cancelling Stephen Colbert's show was like telling a Christian that Sunday services are perpetually cancelled.

On January 6th I followed the crowd into the Capitol and shouted. Police stood by the whole time, hanging out with us and sometimes directing us places.
At one point near the House Chambers I was walking downstairs when a trio of some special section, secret service looking men started pointing guns in my direction.
Confused and annoyed, I walked the other way and when I saw a normal police officer asked him why they were doing that.
He informed me a protestor (Ashli Babbit) had been killed, and advised me to leave the building.
I walked towards the exit and after a short rest on the bench I left.
I harmed nobody and damaged no property that day and complied with all police orders.
What I received for that was a pre-dawn raid at my parents house, where my 1 month post-partum wife and I were staying, on Biden's first day in office. His DOJ had signed the order to arrest me 3 hours after his inauguration.
In the subsequent weeks I received death threats online and harassing phone calls, something that would be ongoing for the next few years.
I was banned from Meta and Paypal. My wife and I were both debanked by PNC and banned from Airbnb. My wife was detained at the airport for hours with our newborn daughter.
I was charged with 4 misdemeanors and the 1512 unconstitutional felony. The government offered to drop the misdemeanors if I pled to the felony. The felony was a lie, so I refused and went to trial.
At trial the prosecution for 2 days straight was allowed to show footage to the jury of things that occurred around the Capitol I wasn't present for "for context." When we asked to put forward footage that contradicted the prosecution's "context" we were not allowed. They could show what they wanted, we could not.
Police officers were then put on the stand for the next 2 days who cried about their experiences. I had no idea who they were. They admitted they never saw me or interacted with me.
Nevertheless like every other J6er, I lost, and was sentenced to 4 years and $22k in fines and restitution. Yet even after the Supreme Court overturned the felony, the judge would not let me out until my misdemeanor sentences of a year were maxed out. Because she can't count she actually kept me in longer - to the extent she intervened at the last minute to make the prison release me on a Sunday, something that is against BOP rules. My family sat outside the prison gates the Friday before practically the whole day waiting in vain because of this pettiness.
But the government wasn't satisfied with their pound of flesh: after my release they took me back in for resentencing, to attempt to have me resentenced after the fact to my misdemeanors consecutively, so I'd be taken from my family again and have another 1.5 years behind bars. This time I won, as they had no legal precedent and it skirted on violating double jeopardy since I had served my full prison time. Even still, it cast a cloud over the holidays and cost me another 20k my family couldn't afford.
People ask whether prison was bad, and yeah of course prison sucked. It was a hard and violent place. I was present for a stabbing, and was lucky to avoid two fights and a race war.
But dealing with Biden's DOJ and the DC Judiciary was the real trauma - they would grind down your spirit by weaponizing the legal system and use the endless procedure to bankrupt you. I had nightmares for months after release that I had somehow been hit with new charges.
By the time I was pardoned by President Trump, I had spent literally every single day of Biden's presidency either in prison or under some form of supervision. I had incurred over $300k in legal fees and over $1 million in lost business.
It was a reign of terror, and yet it was a mere foreshadowing of what they had planned for anyone else who opposed them under Kamala. The country should never forget it.

🚨 BIOLOGY UPDATE
Scientists are discovering that mitochondria — the tiny powerhouses inside your cells — may communicate using ultraweak flashes of light.
Not metaphorically.
Actual light.
Which means inside you right now…
trillions of microscopic structures may be exchanging information through glowing biological signals invisible to the human eye.
The strange part?
Your body may be far less “mechanical” than we once believed.
You are not just chemistry.
You are electrical. You are energetic. You are alive in ways science is only beginning to understand.
Maybe consciousness itself emerges from an orchestra of light deep inside living cells.
The closer we look at life…
the less dead matter it seems to become.

LA BUREAUCRATIE EST L'ANTÉCHRIST
Peter Thiel a donné une interview à Ross Douthat l'année dernière. Tout le monde a retenu une phrase : "2024, c'est l'année où Elon a cessé de croire à Mars."
Personne n'a compris ce que ça signifiait vraiment.
Voici l'histoire, telle que Thiel la raconte. Elon Musk dîne avec Demis Hassabis, le fondateur de DeepMind. Elon dit la phrase qu'il a dite mille fois, celle qui structure sa vie depuis 20 ans : "Je travaille sur le projet le plus important au monde, je transforme l'humanité en espèce interplanétaire."
Demis répond, calmement : "Tu sais que mon IA pourra te suivre sur Mars."
Elon s'est tu. Thiel dit qu'il a fallu des années pour qu'Elon digère cette phrase. Et que 2024 est l'année où il a compris.
Mars n'est pas une fuite. La bureaucratie woke, l'État socialiste, l'IA conformiste, tout cela vous suit. Il n'y a nulle part où aller. Le combat ne peut pas être spatial. Il doit être terrestre. Et il ne peut pas être technologique. Il doit être politique.
C'est à ce moment précis qu'Elon a pris DOGE.
Maintenant remontez d'un cran. Pourquoi Thiel parle-t-il d'antéchrist depuis trois ans ? Parce qu'il a une thèse simple, et que cette thèse est terrifiante quand on la prend au sérieux.
La thèse, en une phrase : la stagnation technologique est le retour mécanique du monde au jeu à somme nulle, et un monde à somme nulle finit toujours en sang.
Voilà la mécanique. Pendant 200 ans, l'Occident a vécu dans un monde à somme positive. Chaque génération avait plus que la précédente. Personne ne devait perdre pour qu'un autre gagne. Le gâteau grossissait. C'est cette croissance qui a rendu la démocratie libérale possible. Pas l'inverse.
Mais depuis 1971, l'innovation s'est arrêtée dans tous les domaines physiques. Énergie, transport, médecine, agriculture, infrastructure. Le seul endroit où il s'est encore passé quelque chose, c'est le monde des bits. Logiciel, internet, crypto, IA. Tout le reste est figé. On vole moins vite qu'en 1969. On guérit moins de maladies qu'on ne le promettait en 1980. La fusion nucléaire est toujours dans 30 ans. Comme en 1960.
Et qu'est-ce qui a remplacé l'innovation ? La bureaucratie. Mécaniquement. Quand on ne peut plus créer de nouvelles richesses, on gère la décroissance des anciennes. C'est exactement ça, le métier d'un bureaucrate. Redistribuer, arbitrer, tamponner, autoriser, interdire. Une bureaucratie est, par définition pure, une machine à transformer des jeux à somme positive en jeux à somme nulle. C'est sa fonction biologique.
Et dans un jeu à somme nulle, il n'y a qu'une issue. Si je ne peux pas devenir plus riche en créant, je deviens plus riche en prenant. À toi. À ton voisin. À l'autre tribu. À l'autre nation. C'est ce que Thiel appelle le retour du tribalisme, du ressentiment, du mimétisme girardien à l'échelle civilisationnelle.
Or nous avons quelque chose que les civilisations stagnantes du passé n'avaient pas. Des armes nucléaires. Des armes biologiques. Bientôt des armes autonomes pilotées par IA. Une civilisation à somme positive avec ces armes peut survivre. Une civilisation à somme nulle avec ces armes ne peut pas. C'est mathématique. La première bagarre de cour de récréation à l'échelle géopolitique se termine en extinction.
C'est ça que Thiel appelle l'antéchrist. Pas une figure démoniaque à cornes. Un État mondial bureaucratique qui, pour empêcher la guerre, étouffe toute innovation, fige tous les rapports de force, criminalise tout dépassement, et finit par produire exactement la guerre qu'il prétendait empêcher. Parce qu'une humanité qui ne peut plus créer ne peut que se dévorer.
Maintenant relisez Elon Musk de février 2025, dans le Bureau Ovale : "Si le peuple ne peut pas voter et voir sa volonté décidée par ses représentants élus, alors nous ne vivons pas en démocratie. Nous vivons en bureaucratie."
Et chez Joe Rogan, deux semaines plus tard : "DOGE est la première menace contre la bureaucratie. Normalement, la bureaucratie mange les révolutions au petit-déjeuner. C'est la première fois que la révolution pourrait réussir."
Vous croyiez qu'il parlait de coupes budgétaires. Il parlait d'extinction.
Voilà la conclusion, et elle est dure. Si Thiel a raison, il n'y a pas de neutralité possible. Chaque norme, chaque règlement, chaque agence, chaque procédure d'autorisation, chaque interdiction préventive est une petite contribution à la transformation du monde en jeu à somme nulle. Et chaque jeu à somme nulle, à l'ère nucléaire, est une marche vers la fin.
La hiérarchie des priorités est claire. On doit prioriser le risque sur le confort. La création sur la redistribution. L'asymétrie sur l'égalité. L'innovation sur la précaution. Pas parce que c'est cool, ou libéral, ou de droite. Parce que c'est la condition mathématique de la survie de l'espèce.
L'Europe ne l'a pas compris. Elle régule l'IA pendant que d'autres la construisent. Elle interdit le nucléaire pendant que ses voisins l'arment. Elle fiscalise la création pendant que ses élites partent. Elle a choisi, sans le savoir, le camp de la somme nulle. Le camp de l'antéchrist, dans le langage de Thiel.
Il n'est pas trop tard. Mais il est plus tard qu'on ne le croit.
Et quelque part dans le silence d'Elon Musk après la phrase de Demis Hassabis, il y a peut-être déjà la réponse à la question que personne ne pose : que faire quand il n'y a nulle part où fuir.
Construire. Vite. Sur Terre. Avant que la bureaucratie ne mange aussi ce qui reste de futur.
