Over the last few years things have been more difficult for me. I've had 1 surgery and probably getting ready to have another one soon. This and many other things have taught me about the preciousness of time. For that reason I'm making a few changes.
1. Reducing posts significantly by extracting most of the politics out of the dialogue. Relevant things going on in the world will be discussed in my the Monday show as I'll still be bookmarking what I find throughout the week.
2. Shrinking my sphere of influence and putting most things as subscriber only.
3. And most importantly. I'm going to focus on my health.
Going to try this out for a bit and see how it goes. Hopefully it increases the quality of your experience and mine.

So you grew up in a Muslim theocracy
Worked hard, got a good education
You ditched your third world passport
Moved to a western democracy
Thinking you’ll enjoy the fruits of the west like freedom of speech, religion etc
The truth is you ended up in a country that’s about to implement sharia law where apostates will be punished

@Micro2Macr0 @JTLonsdale @RayDalio I have personally seen Balaji's paperwork for making angel investments...
Guess which country he uses as the legal jurisdiction for his investment agreements?
Not Singapore, not China, not Hong Kong, no Cayman

@JTLonsdale 💯 - He reminds me of @RayDalio. Someone with special interests, which causes them to look at the world through a foggy lens of Communist China = Better.

Balaji is a bright guy but he fled the USA and has set his mind totally against our future success.
He lives in a world where US is losing and China is winning. This is his fixation. It’s dangerous, and it’s wrong. And this war has embarrassed China, destroyed their 100 cargo planes of war materials and their military ally, and frustrates them.
It’s fair to disagree about the attack. But saying that its architects are guilty of any downside is childlike nonsense. They should be proud of their work and their courage to take on this evil.
If you’re against the war, do you get credit for the last two decades of literal mass torture and mass rape and repression by this regime, and its terror funding and death around the region? Do you get credit for “supporting” the billions it spends on social media bots and information operations to polarize the US against ourselves, and weaken the west? Do you also get credit for what would have been the next twenty years of that?
Are you, Balaji, responsible for that side of it? No?
But if you are for it, you get zero credit for fixing any of that, but blamed for ALL the possible downsides? Total BS.
The mullahs holding the region hostage shouldn’t get your help to blame others for the damage they do.
Geopolitics and war is complex and there are risks on all sides. There is risk in acting, and in not acting.
I’m really glad we are taking advantage of the massive innovation and competence gap that exists at this moment, and finally eliminating so much evil.
I hope for freedom for the Iranian people and know that the situation is hard and complex, but either way it is good to stop the bad guys and eliminate so many of the worst groups, who have done so much damage, from history. Nobody should get away with what those bastards did for so long; this was long overdue.

I'm going to make some obvious points. (1) Blowing up all the oil infrastructure in the Middle East is an insane idea, and may well result in a global economic crash and humanitarian crisis unrivaled in the lives of those now living. We're talking about the price of everything everywhere rising, from food to gas, at a moment when inflation was already high. All of that will be laid at the feet of the authors of this war. (2) The antebellum status quo of Feb 27, 2026 was just not that bad, but we're unlikely to return to it. Expect indefinite, long-term, ongoing disruptions to everything out of the Middle East. (3) Also assume tech financing crashes for the indefinite future. The genius plan to get the Gulf states caught in the crossfire has incinerated much of the funding for LPs, for datacenters, and for IPOs. Anyone in tech who supported this war may soon learn the meaning of "force majeure" as funding gets yanked. (4) Many capital allocators will instead be allocating much further down Maslow's hierarchy of needs, towards useful basic things like food and energy. (5) It's fortunate that all those progressives yelled about the "climate crisis." Yes, their reasoning about timelines was wrong, and much of the money was wasted in graft, but the result was right: we all need energy independence from the Middle East, pronto. It's also fortunate that Elon and China autistically took climate seriously. Now they're going to need to ship a billion solar panels, electric vehicles, batteries, nuclear power plants, and the like to get everyone off oil, immediately. (6) It's not just an oil and gas problem, of course. It's also a fertilizer problem, and a chemical precursor problem. Maybe some new sources will come online at the new prices, but it takes time to dial stuff up, particularly at this scale, so shortages are almost a certainty. That said, China has actually scaled up coal-to-chemicals[a,c] (C2C), and there's also something more sci-fi called Power-to-X[b] which turns arbitrary power + water + air into hydrocarbons. But all of that will need to get accelerated. I have a background in chemical engineering so may start funding things in this area. (7) Ultimately, this war is going to result in tremendous blame for anyone associated with it. It's a no-win scenario to blow up this much infrastructure for so many people. Simply not worth it for whatever objective they thought they were going to attain. But unless you're actually in a position to stop the madness, the pragmatic thing to do is: scramble to mitigate the fallout to yourself, your business, and your people.

@mrbcyber More than espionage
I suspect even these:
Culture wars
Rise in communism/ socialism
Deaths from fentanyl
Illogical leftist public policies
AI safety efforts
Illegal immigration
All of these are probably being funded or stoked by the CCP

The Super Micro scandal shows just how massive China's espionage operations are in America
Fake servers were built and shown to auditors. Very wealthy people engaged in high risk criminal activity. We really face an unprecedented espionage threat in the US.

Curious argument that Iran is a threat bc it does all the same things the US does.
Lisa Daftari@LisaDaftari
Iran was building a nuclear weapon, funding terrorism on five continents, and executing its own citizens in the streets. So-called 'experts' still want to say there was no credible threat. Boggles the mind.

@ThaiEnquirer Whether its sold by the Dutch or not, these buildings should have preservation order on them, like listed buildings.

Century-Old Dutch Embassy in Bangkok for Sale, Raising Heritage Concerns
The historic Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Bangkok, a colonial-era landmark recognized for its architectural and cultural value, is being put up for sale, raising alarm among heritage advocates and the Dutch community in Thailand. The embassy villa, built during the reign of King Vajiravudh (Rama VI), has been recognized by the Association of Siamese Architects for conservation and is listed as a heritage site at risk on the Siam Society’s Heritage Alert platform.
Located on Witthayu (Wireless) Road in Pathumwan district, adjacent to the U.S. Embassy, the compound is a rare green space in central Bangkok. Heritage groups warn that selling the property could result in the irreversible loss of a unique cultural and diplomatic landmark.
According to the Siam Society, the site has a layered history: it was once owned by French royal physician Dr. Alphonse Poix and later by Thai nobility, including Prince Bovoradej, who led the 1933 “Rebellion of Prince Bovoradej.” The property was leased at various times to the British Alumni Association, occupied by the Japanese army during World War II, and used by Salesian Roman Catholic priests, including for the Don Bosco Vocational School for disadvantaged children. In 1948, the Dutch government purchased the property as its first permanent embassy in Thailand, and it has remained a diplomatic hub ever since.
The embassy underwent major renovations in 2004–2005, adding modern office facilities while preserving the historic villa, with further interior updates completed by 2007.
The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs plans to relocate the embassy to Dusit Central Park by August 2026. While developers are eyeing the prime central Bangkok site for potential mixed-use or landmark projects, heritage advocates emphasize that the property represents over 400 years of Dutch-Thai diplomatic relations and serves as a symbol of cultural, historical, and diplomatic significance.
The Dutch community in Thailand has launched petitions urging the Netherlands government to reconsider the sale, warning that the loss would be felt not only in Thailand but internationally, as the embassy embodies centuries of shared history and cross-cultural ties.

Muslim and African immigrants commit a lot crime here in Denmark.

@dhh So what you’re saying is Europeans are financing their own rape and murder via taxes?
English
Denmark keeps impeccable statistics on crime, immigration, and, as shown here, crime committed by immigrants. And that's very important because the Western intuition on these numbers is usually completely off. Only remedy is repeated exposure to the data and the facts.
