I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.

Education policy is one very clear difference between liberalism and progressivism.
Liberalism seeks to educate people more.
Progressivism seeks to educate people LESS, so that everyone is equal in ignorance. (This doesn't work)

Yes I sold paintings. About $225,000 a year over four years. The whole of my business while my father was President. Congress investigated it.
If you’re outraged about that, where is all your outrage now?
Kushner's Affinity Partners holds roughly $5 to $6 billion. Close to 99% of it comes from foreign sovereign wealth funds. Saudi Arabia. The UAE. Qatar. Over $90M in fees annually.

Land acknowledgments presuppose a theory of real property ownership developed through English Common Law that we then map onto Native populations who had no such system.
By imposing English property theory on them, we subjugate Native populations to Western ways of thinking.

A few years ago, more than half of Republicans saw gay relationships as morally acceptable. Now that number is about a third.

So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.

not sure this holds in stock market. normative behavior is priced rationally / weird ideas not efficiently priced. Normative might be right most of the time but you never make any money because it is crowded. Better to bet on weird which if wrong will cost you zero and if right…
Guy@nosilverv
People CORRECTLY mistrust 'weird' (i.e. "off-distribution") people bc normative social behavior is p good all things considered. If someone defects from that their behavior prob mass gets flatter AND there's TONS more ways to be V BAD than to be v good → lower EV → Mistrust.

"Unless it's a top university, go to the cheapest one that you like."
This is the right advice for those deciding on which college to attend when thinking about future employment
Going to Boston University or Oberlin just won't matter

I know every generation has their class struggles, but let me tell you about the summer of 1990 when Supersoakers hit the market and only a few kids could afford them and the rest of us were hunted for sport.

I think a large portion of this is exported to feed horses in the Middle East or something wild like that

Arizona wastes an extraordinary amount of water growing alfalfa in the literal desert. It's ~27% of the state's total water use. This is extremely uneconomical, and if farmers were forced to to pay anything close to the actual value of that water, it would disappear overnight.

Science fiction nerds are gonna hate me for saying this but the Great Filter is that interstellar travel is probably more or less impossible and there is no reason to come up with any other explanation for that.

Milton Friedman:
“Economists don’t know much, but there’s one thing we know very, very well—and that’s how to produce shortages.”
“You want a shortage of housing in New York City? Set a maximum price on rent, and you will have a shortage of housing.”
