@TokenOfTheMonth Not true. We went to West Memphis every summer growing up.
Curious what motivates you to say something this ignorant?

DOGE collapsed because it was built on the false assumption that "waste" is a bug in the political system which is meant to govern the country efficiently.
Waste is actually the *purpose* of the political system and governing the country efficiently is an unintentional bug that _THE SYSTEM_ is busy fixing.
Political systems just collect more and more and more parasites over time. Eventually almost everyone is a parasite in some way and the only people trying to use the system honestly are getting crushed under the weight of a billion parasites.
Elon looked inside all the databases and systems and realized how bad things already were and gave up on fixing politics and is now fully focused on AI - which I think is the correct move.

I still don't fully get how DOGE collapsed and why in the world the DOGE kids are getting hauled in front of tribunals. It was the best thing that happened to the right in years. We need to 100x DOGE. One in every state. The fact that we only got 6 months and thats it, forever, is a gut punch.

I’d like to see Peter talk about Babel more, which is a form of Old Testament Antichrist.

NEW: Peter Thiel is delivering a four-night lecture series on the Antichrist four blocks from the Vatican. The billionaire backer of JD Vance once told the vice president to ignore the late Pope Francis — and has already dismissed Pope Leo XIV as the "woke American pope." Catholic institutions on two continents have criticized Thiel’s latest gimmick. substack.com/home/post/p-19…

Catholics actually benefited a great deal from the Reformation. For example, you can now read the Bible in English. I think we can all agree, that’s an incredible blessing.

@_CLancellotti It has more to say about the nature of our revival and how long our empire will last than that.
The mainlines do have a grip on our national soul, but evangelicalism writ large can renew itself and still hold a version of its grasp. @aaron_renn lines on this.

This is quite true, but it also means that if the Protestant mainstream falters (and arguably in the last few decades it has faltered, and lost its ability to shape the culture), then the country is in an existential crisis.
Megan Basham@megbasham
Look, I have and love friends of other faiths, but the United States was built upon a Protestant ethic and outlook. Others have come and contributed to our culture, and I do not deny that. But to claim that America’s founding, its self-understood identity for the vast majority of its existence, had been anything other than Protestant is a lie.

"I'm not very hopeful. It would almost take a miracle to make that work," says Igor Torreira on the plausibility of an international AI ban.
Igor Torreira is a Senior Fellow at Georgetown University's Center for Security and Emerging Technology and a former senior researcher at the RAND Corporation, where he led research on military cyber operations and the effects of cyber weapons. He also worked as a Special Assistant in the Office of the Secretary of Defense at the U.S. Department of Defense.
Listen to my conversation with him below, where we discuss:

11:53 The cybersecurity risks created by autonomous and AI-enabled systems
13:10 How AI could shift the offense-defense balance in cyber conflict
15:15 The relevance of traditional metrics like GDP in light of AI

Fine point - but we have unlimited capital, unlimited intelligence, and (if in the next 3 years) unlimited political power to produce the more bespoke defense applications we need.

Uranium stocks are not cheap. They are properly priced based off NAV, with zero belief that the NAV will turn into production.
Any stock that is actually producing.. is cheap.
