@DaleStarkA10 There were glowies, but counter take isn't quite right. Highly coordinated domestic terror campaign against the real people that participated. Antifa would go around smashing car windows, tires, vandalizing businesses to punish participants, push into bankruptcy/isolation.

@ArfTard @travis4nh Reagan was shot only a year or so into his eight year presidency and then drugged into senility in the hospital. Nancy believed in astrology and had an intelligence agent confidant she thought was an astrologer, Ronald deferred to Nancy, Nancy to the "astrologer" (the deep state)

@travis4nh So was Reagan part of that coup because the GOP came to be formed in his image not long after? I'm not really following what to make of this lmao

@HistoryBoomer @JensHeycke In high trust areas the boxes are wooden with a simple unsecured metal latch (only to prevent weather from opening and blowing money away). Similar to the racks of bikes without chains or unlocked car and home doors in as-yet-uninvaded areas.

@JensHeycke I've often seen these stands (although they have a hard-to-break-in metal box for the money). Both in rural New York and rural California.

I hear we live in a "low-trust society." What does this mean to you? On a daily basis, how would a high-trust society look compared to what we have?

@cremieuxrecueil Despite being a cartoon, this was an approximation of pretty real and grounded expectations of the future prior to the implementation of the DEI regime. Sixty years later: stolen progress, a looted future, a canceled space program, farcical repeats of old accomplishments.

If you're impressed by AI now, imagine how much better it would be if we eliminated HR departments. We'd be at GPT-7, Opus 6, Gemini 4, Grok 69 at least.

@mattparlmer Contra the chart, house prices are actually down after adjusting for square footage and quality increase (safer electrical code, better HVAC, better thermal envelopes, more gadgets, addition of garages not counted in square footage, etc.)

Regulatory capture: When the biggest companies become intertwined with the state, competing with them becomes impossible. Regulation doesn't constrain the biggest companies, it entrenches them.

@bumbadum14 Government confiscates 50%+ of what you make to fund Somali fraud, mass migration, and NGO complexes that hate you .... why not check out to the extent that you reasonably can? Perfectly natural response to government as an occupying tyranny. People quietly quit in the USSR too

FIRE is probably the most soul crushing lifestyle I have ever heard of and it's a terrible indictment on our society. Some of the most competent and intelligent people are structuring themselves to live as minimally as possible so they can check out of society before they're 40. Many of these people are unbelievably hard workers and incredibly intelligent. But they are so disillusioned so all of their potential goes to waste because there's no point to work for more.

@InezFeltscher The central claim from Ivana is false. The girlboss regime is the reason China is competitive economically. It's illegal to have a shop full of hardworking guys if you have more than an employee or two. The diversity regime will come force you to hire parasites that gum it up.

If we eliminated the very substantial risk to his employer for hiring or promoting him instead of a woman who helps “diversity numbers”, however, it might help quite a lot. We’ve had at least 30 years of a substantial thumb on the scale against men, particularly white men, in the job market. Nobody, including me, claimed the entire economic climate is shaped by this issue. I did claim that in some substantial ways, policy is putting a pretty big thumb on the scale. We should stop doing that and see what happens.

@bryan_caplan Because they are afraid of domestic terrorists on the left. Everyone has been since mass bombing campaigns that brought the left to power. There were 2500+ leftist bombings in 1971/72 when things shifted. We have not had a democracy or a representative government in 50+ years.

@deanwball I don't think this is true for either side. Whoever decides to fully ignore any existing norms and just enforce their will is going to get most everything they want. Defecting from norms is perfectly reasonable for either side here.

Let me repeat this for all the Sensitive People in the room: until you fully own—emotionally and intellectually—that Your Side also contributes to the institutional death spiral of America, in addition to the Bad Side, there is no escaping the spiral. You must look in the mirror.

@RokoMijic administration of most powerful country in the world is actively engaged with x posters and frequently responding to them not just rhetorically but in action. it's as consequential as a media platform can be. probably will become more so as payment rail that stops debanking too

The truth is, X is run on a shoestring budget as a weird sideshow of the Musk empire and it will never actually live up to the lofty goals we've been told about. It's definitely an improvement over the woke era but it simply isn't going to be what people hoped for.
Clint@clintga

I really wish this app would pick a direction and stick with it. This time last year communities were the future of X. Then engagements was the way to grow. Then “We are the news now” was the point of X, Next it was write articles and win money. Now’s it TikTok and Facebook messenger. The point of X is to take what I post and show it to my followers and show me what they post and X can’t even do that simple task consistently and effectively. 🤦‍♂️

The crazy thing is that the trillions of dollars squandered by woke in this instance is only the tip of the iceberg of the damage it did to society. Imagine if we had a meritocracy for the last 50 years instead of DEI. Mars would be colonized by now. x.com/fentasyl/statu…
~~datahazard~~@fentasyl

I'll never stop laughing about how Google blew their massive lead in AI and their opportunity to monopolize a multi-trillion dollar industry all because of DEI. Early 2024 Gemini was such dogshit. Intentionally so.

Might be worth asking "abundance for who?" It's not clear how much of the work that (robotic) intelligent beings want to turn over to other beings. I'd quit paying taxes to support somali fraudsters if I could for example. x.com/PeterDiamandis…
Peter H. Diamandis, MD@PeterDiamandis

A humanoid robot will cost us $30K and works 24/7 for $0.40/hour. A solar panel generates electricity for 3 cents/kWh. What exactly is the argument that we CAN'T create abundance?

@deanwball The last administration put people in pretrial solitary confinement, carried out a systemic campaign of torture against them, for being present at Capital on Jan 6 exercising 1st amendment rights. Current one has done nothing even remotely close to this bad. Kelsey is a lunatic.

You always see your own side doing the corrosive things less than the other guys. But the really pernicious thing is that each successive presidential admin is worse on rule of law/injecting politics into absolutely fucking everything than the last. If you imagined yourself being pulled into a spiral or a vortex, that’s precisely what it would be like, right? “Oh look! I’m even deeper into the vortex now! It’s even more vortex-y!” And Kelsey’s response is to say “well, when we were in MY part of the death spiral, it was less death-spiraly than it is now!” Which is fair as far as it goes, but probably the bigger issue is the death spiral itself.
Kelsey Piper@KelseyTuoc

@deanwball I don't really buy the 'both sides' here. I think that this administration engages in reprisals on the basis of personal beefs and internet outrage at a higher rate than past administrations (though of course the vice itself is ancient)

Do the various censorship/debanking pressure groups, SPLC and others, coordinate their work? If one of them is breaking the law, are they all breaking the law together? Are there grounds for criminal conspiracy charges? RICO charges? Including complicit donors?
