Believe me, I am no MI GOP fan, but at least they did this on a Saturday.

This is the day that the Lord has made. But these people praise themselves. They rejoice in sin.

What’s a line from something you’ve read that you find yourself repeating in your head every now and then?

@gmiller @imPenny2x You think humans will be happy to serve as slaves forerver, without using their powers and agency for any other purpose?

99% of people really do not understand abundance as Elon describes it. The fundamental reason is that they don’t understand compound growth. Same people who would probably pick 1 million dollars today over a penny that doubles in value every day for 30 days. It’s a bad choice by the way. You lose out on millions. Imagine if that doubling object was a labor producing robot instead of a penny. Compounding labor. It’s actually crazy if you try and wrap your mind around it. So Elon mentions Universl High Income and the midwits flip a lid. “The elites won’t share” You don’t get it. They won’t need to share. They will make everything so cheap, it is effectively free. Charities will have immense resources to distribute. Unfathomable intelligence will exist to help optimize production and distribution. An unfathomably large labor pool will exist that operates on solar power exclusively. The public work projects that are erected will be unseen before levels of breathtaking. I think we are incredibly blessed to steward this new age of abundance. Can you see it now? Can you see the future?

Oh come ON why not?

There should be a new Sunday Night Football intro and it should be this guy

Clarence Thomas' whole speech is eloquent and impactful, but I found his closing remarks particularly moving. He makes the case against tacitly accepting injustice simply because it is socially convenient, arguing that it is incumbent on each and every individual to assume responsibility for our collective future, not simply our own personal present. Furthermore, he argues that choosing the path of righteousness over that of least resistance creates a self-fulfilling prophecy that both improves our collective standing and makes the choice easier on the individual over time: "Courage, like cowardice, can be habit-forming."

What must be done leaves no room for hesitation.

In the last 30 years, the number of public companies has been cut in half. The situation has gotten so bad that the Wilshire 5000 index, founded in 1974 to track the broadest portfolio of all US publicly traded stocks, now listsonly about 3700 stocks! In my latest piece in @washingtonpost, I explain how frivolous class action suits by trial lawyers have contributed to that problem and how the Supreme Court can strengthen public markets by curbing abuses of securities law. The losers--ordinary Americans who have fewer options for investing their retirement savings and the American economy which has less opportunities for growth and innovation.

Ronald Reagan exposed Social Security back in 1964:

Alexander Solzhenitsyn gave the most controversial speech *against* Western Civilization at Harvard in 1978. As a survivor of the Russian Gulags, they expected him to praise the West. Instead, he made a jarring accusation: The West is a dying civilization. If it doesn't change its ways, it is doomed to collapse. In fact, he said this has been the case for 500 years, when the West made a crucial mistake: "How did the West decline from its triumphal march to its present debility? ...the mistake must be at the root, at the very foundation of thought in modern times. I refer to the prevailing Western view of the world which was born in the Renaissance… I refer to humanism — the proclaimed autonomy of man from any higher force above him." Solzhenitsyn said humanism made man autonomous from God, Truth, and objective morality. If all morality is subjective, then man has nothing to live nor die for. Naturally, he loses his courage, embraces materialism, and grows effeminate to modern evils. So, what is the solution? A return to belief in a transcendental morality under God: "If, as claimed by humanism, man were born only to be happy, he would not be born to die. Since his body is doomed to death, his task on earth evidently must be more spiritual… The fulfillment of a permanent, earnest duty so that one’s life journey may become above all an experience of moral growth: to leave life a better human being than one started it." All cultures live, or die, based on their respect of the True, Good, and Beautiful. To save the West, Solzhenitsyn says start with beautifying your soul, for that is both how you live well, and begin to make civilization itself beautiful again.

This might be the nastiest drawn up pickoff I’ve ever witnessed, wow
