Should the wealthy Die with Zero? Or should they leave piles of cash to children who will squander it? @JohannKurtz offers a third way: raise children worthy of their inheritance, capable of building something greater than if they had started from zero. - Why are celebrities disinheriting their kids? - Why Americans should pay attention to the example of the noble houses of Europe - What J.K. Rowling instinctively understands about the re-enchantment of the world - Why true charity is necessarily local, invested, and multigenerational - Family business as a conduit for family legacy My conversation on building families that last 1,000 years, now on Gentleman Speculator.

@andyflattery Best wishes. P.S. It's not in Fort Knox.

Logging off for 40 days to focus on prayer, family, and figuring out what the government did with the Nazi gold.

@LibertyMugs I would listen to 8 hours of Rogan interviewing guys like this about batshit covert hidden nazi loot speculation.

@andyflattery Bring your loppers. x.com/i/status/20238…

@SullyBusiness Iowa State grad offended

All the people I know that went to fancy schools are unemployed, unhappy, and unmarried. All the people I know who went to generic State University are employed, happy, and married. Someone explain this.

I’m a 42 year old former filmmaker. I made this in 3 days with $39 in credits because it was fun to channel the creativity I had in my 20s It entailed writing, directing, cinematography, art direction, SPFX, editing & sound design The kids will rock our world with these tools❤️

@andyflattery Conspiracy Theory with Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts?

If movies are America’s cultural contribution to the world, let me make the case for Kevin Costner as our great American novelist: Field of Dreams/Bull Durham/For Love of the Game - untouchable baseball trilogy JFK - the OG conspiracy theory No Way Out - Deep State corruption Open Range/Horizon/Hatfields & McCoys - solid westerns The Untouchables - Gangsters Yellowstone/Dances with Wolves - hicklib soap operas Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves - if Robin had an American accent and a black guy sidekick Who else touches this level of Americana?

@phil_geiger The slopification of bitcoin conspiracy theories, demonstrating the maturation of the asset class.

I've seen my fair share of ridiculous bitcoin FUD, but I gotta say, the "Epstein did bitcoin" FUD might be the dumbest.

What are some movies that had no right being as good as they turned out to be?

@macrojack21 ..Catch is that Philanthrocapitalism hasn’t died yet?

what's the catch?

one of the strangest things about technology as an industry is that it refuses to use dressing well as a signal of reverence for the work so it’s forced to adopt much costlier social signaling mechanisms to display seriousness: affected accents, millenarian cults, etc

@WillManidis Baffling how someone as intelligent as Paul Graham could be so obtuse

@dougboneparth Doug should get some props at home for this post

The biggest decision you’ll ever make is choosing who you’re spending your life with. Don’t f*ck it up.

@BrianDOLeary I tried to find it on Amazon

@andyflattery When commercials kept you wanting more. All for the $19.99 you may or may not spend (plus shipping and handling).

This is what they took from us

@anon_opin I remember thinking this about the 90s when it was the 90s

No decade has had its own distinct identity since the 1990s.

All of the artists you mention have commercial appeal, of which non-profits (left wing or otherwise) structurally don't seem to lend well to cultivating. Have to imagine that Mel was mentored to some extent by George Miller and Peter Weir. Will be interesting to see if he can produce a next generation protege during this semi return to credibility.

A lot of our guys have internalized a PMC vision of art creation. No, we don't need a non-profit fund, or to be creating websites with well-formatted lists of creators. A fundamental observation: we have no geniuses. Where are they? You can spot geniuses early. They burst out of adolescence after obsessive, unpaid focus on their craft for years. Their absence in our movement has nothing to do with limited funding for self-published 30-year-old fiction writers. It has to do with education and apprenticeship. When 'geniuses' do emerge they find funding without issue. Houellebecq, Mel Gibson, Sam Hyde... The latest release of Raspail was well supported; a recent Passage Press GoFundMe crossed $100k. Funding not the core issue.

RIP James Van Der Beek. In the rare class of Hollywood actors who did *not* throw like a girl.

@BrainHarrington Far from the worst offender 😂

Why is the entire bitcoin media complex hell bent on going as weird bizarre niche as possible?
