@Glokta2 @JDHaltigan also yes, covid policies brought heavy lives disruption, much like in war-time, greatly deepening existing friction trends.

@JDHaltigan I don't really see how it is, when women became the majority in many fields already in 2000s, yet the supposed effects of "feminisation" only manifested in late 2010s or 2020 smartphones, social media, lockdowns seem more convincing

Excellent discourse. The feminization hypothesis is most definitely p < .00001 in Sociology. Make no mistake about this. No amount of wishful thinking is going to change this reality. The feminization of all our sense-making institutions is a national crisis.

@Glokta2 @JDHaltigan absolutely, tech disruption always drives these changes. new generations experience wealthier lives and become more soft, hence feminizing. female\male demographics is just a part of it.

@ashleytrubin feminization is not the cause, it's the effect. cause is generational gap brought by tech disruption and consequent living standards rise.

I really don't want the feminization hypothesis to be right, but when you see results like these (from Horowitz et al. 2018's survey of soc faculty -- 14% response rate)...

Let me get this straight Peter Thiel was an early Silicon Valley donor to Trump, who currently sits as President of the United States He hand picked JD Vance, who goes on to become VP and is still in that position His friend and former cofounder, Elon Musk, is the richest man on the planet and is about to do the biggest IPO ever in history His fund was one of the earliest backers of Space X, amongst many other successful investments Literally everything he wished for has happened. Everyone he wanted in power is currently in power. But, he is now leaving the country to move to Argentina. What am I missing here?

no regime change in iran, no handpicking of the next supreme leader. no dismantling of iran’s proxies, no restrictions on its ballistic missile and drone programs. an agreement to downblend the highly enriched uranium inside iran. the destruction of iran’s navy, but an emboldened iran that is prepared to disrupt the strait. throw in the cost in lives, the global economy, and the global treasure, and the reputational damage to the united states…and president trump has some serious explaining to do.   next up: cuba

@RetroCoast they pulled an Apple but everyone dislikes it because they didn't put on years of brainwashing through marketing.

⚡️O’Leary is right that Apple sells brand premium, but he is wrong that the premium is pure irrationality. He is doing the classic spreadsheet-brain move: collapse the laptop into “same functionality.” That only works if functionality means “can browse the web, write documents, send email, run apps.” By that definition, yes, a cheap Windows laptop can do many of the same basic tasks. But people do not pay Apple only for task execution. They pay for friction reduction. Build quality. Battery life. trackpad. screen. speakers. thermals. resale value. operating system. iPhone integration. AirDrop. iMessage. FaceTime. continuity. low-maintenance ownership. fewer driver/software headaches. high trust at purchase. support network. ecosystem memory. status. identity. aesthetic coherence. That entire stack is the product. The genius of Apple is that it turned hidden friction into visible willingness to pay. Most people do not want to optimize every spec. They want the object to feel good, work reliably, integrate with their life, and signal taste. Apple monetized that better than almost any company in history. The cheap Windows comparison also breaks because the $350 machine usually carries compromises: worse screen, worse battery, worse chassis, worse trackpad, worse longevity, worse resale, more bloat, weaker integration, and a less coherent ownership experience. It can be a rational buy for many people. It is not the same category experience. The deeper read: Apple is a trust machine. Consumers outsource complexity to the brand. They do not want to research twenty laptops. They want to buy the known good thing. That saves cognitive labor. In a world of infinite options, trusted simplicity is worth a premium. The risk for Apple is that AI could weaken the old device-centered ecosystem if the primary interface shifts from apps/devices to agentic operating layers. If people start living inside AI agents that work across platforms, Apple’s hardware/software lock-in gets tested. Apple still has enormous consumer trust, but it has to make the AI layer feel Apple-native or the premium starts looking more cosmetic. Final compression: Apple’s moat is not specs. It is trust, taste, ecosystem, and reduced friction. O’Leary sees the brand tax. He underweights why people willingly pay it.

Kevin O'Leary says Apple's genius is making people pay 5x more for a laptop they could buy for $350 "you can buy an Apple laptop, average price about $1,800, or you can buy the same functionality for $350 on a Windows laptop" "but you still pay $1,800. Why? Brand" "you're paying a 5x multiple in some cases for something that is exactly like a Windows machine" "I put that out to people, they say, yeah, but it's not an Apple. So there is the genius of Jobs"

Is there a single TV show that started strong and actually finished strong? Seems every show eventually ends up getting the Game of Thrones treatment.

@DeepLurkCrawl @SteveOnSpeed @yonann Still no. Price to performance MacBooks usually the same or even better now. The rising cost of memory and storage did not affect Macbook prices as much as Windows laptops. Plus M chips still quite far ahead of anything you could get on other laptops.

What’s the solution to the “Teen Takeovers” destroying cities? Arrest the parents, right? But what if they do not have parents? Arrest the kids, right? But what if the Leftist judge just releases them? Seriously. What is the solution? I got nothing.
