@balajis *checks notes* The internet, is literally datacenters, most of which are located in the US…. How retarded are you?

That is *the* question. Short answer The Internet is not a place, but there will be Internet places. We can print out the internet, using million-person online social networks to crowdfund offline territory, building first voluntary startup societies and eventually network states. Long answer China is a place, so it’s obvious. But it’s closed to everyone but the Han Chinese. The Internet is the only thing with economic scale comparable to China, and it’s open to everyone everywhere. If China is Apple, vertically integrated and closed, the Internet is Android, messier and more open. But the Internet isn’t a place, right? True, but Christianity is not a place. Yet there are Christian places: churches, cathedrals, entire countries with the cross on the flag. The “software” of Christianity was able to convert enough people to materialize upon the “hardware” of the land. Ok, so generalize that. The Internet is not a place, but there are already many Internet places: startup offices, datacenters, tech conferences, entire countries with Bitcoin as the national currency. The software of the Internet could convert enough people to materialize upon the hardware of the land. Extending the analogy, just as there are many Christian denominations, there are many Internet social subnetworks. Whatever subcommunity you belong to can organize and print itself out in the physical world. And where would that be specifically? Like Bitcoin, everywhere and nowhere. The key insight is the idea of the fractal frontier. List all the special economic zones, ghost cities, tech parks, deindustrialized towns, and abandoned villages around the world. There’s a lot of surprisingly developed empty space out there, thanks in part to the global fertility crash. And thanks to robotics, solar, and modulars, we may be able to develop yet more completely empty space. Anyway, that’s the idea. We can reopen the frontier through the Internet. In the same way we have hundreds of tech companies and cryptocurrencies distributed globally, we can use the Internet to found new startup societies and network states. Yes, it’ll take a while to get the new startup societies to million person scale, but it won’t take forever. And everyone doesn’t need to move there to change legacy societies for the better. After all, only 4% of the world moved to the US, and that changed the world. Basically, all the billion person digital networks were only founded in the last 25 years or so. We can scale quickly once the formula works. And it will likely work all over the world, because the Internet does.

Unfortunately, I completely agree that the United States of America is rapidly descending into all-out conflict between left and right. The Luigi left, Kirk killers, anti-Tesla terrorists, and Altman attackers are already in shoot-on-sight mode against conservatives, libertarians, and technologists. The right isn’t there yet; they’re called reactionaries because they only react, so they’re always one cycle behind. Thus, the left has already started shooting while the right is still “only” mirroring the lawfare of last decade’s left. But anyone can see how incandescently angry the American right is getting, so one can expect them to mirror leftist tactics eventually, just as J6 followed BLM. A problem then arises. You see, when communists and nationalists duke it out, technologists tend to be hated by both sides…and tend to leave. That’s what happened in Europe. In the early 1900s, Europe was the undisputed center of science. But then the far left rose to power in Russia, and in response arose a far right in Germany, and then those two psychotic factions blew each other up and took much of Europe with them. The result was that scientists with options left. Shown below is the graph of Nobel prizes. Science used to be centered in Europe when America was still a relative backwater…renowned for cranking out widgets but not much else. Then, as Europe tore itself apart, the smart scientists (and capitalists) simply left for America. Many had no choice; you just couldn’t be a Russian capitalist in the Soviet Union or a Jewish scientist in Nazi Germany, no matter how many years your family might have been in the country. Passionate protestations of ideological loyalty and everlasting patriotism didn’t matter. At best the enemy classes and races were unbanked and denaturalized; at worst they were simply killed. And arguably, all of that — the communism, the nationalism, the wars — all of that arose from the disruption wrought by the Industrial Revolution. We might anticipate similar levels of disruption from the Information Revolution. If so, if America is torn between Democrats and Republicans, or Wokes and MAGAs, or whatever factions succeed them, it’s just not going to be a good place for technological progress. Instead, progress will decentralize to other locations around the world, as it did before.

@blak_anarchist @zoojew It’s pretty fun owning a house. It’s a shame you can’t do that

@187shitlibs @zoojew the irony is u talkin about under reported crimes.. yall closest are busting at the seems. get ur house in order lil white boy.

White men like to believe black excellence begins and ends with athleticism. Seeing a black man outperform them academically short-circuits the racial confidence they built on being intellectually superior.

@nyaraVT No, retard, that’s just called disgust and hatred. No one is scared of you. No one even pities you anymore. You are a danger to everyone including yourself and you should be locked in a box until the end of time

“I’m not transphobic, because I’m not scared of you!!” Yes you are. You believe anti-trans propaganda because it exploits your fear. You react angry and irrational because you’re scared. You believe we’re a danger to society because conservatives make you afraid of others.

@zzzzNE0zzzz @SwannMarcus89 And while I agree with you on the Israel point as they should be labeled a foreign and hostile government. The whole shit hasan just admitted to was probably one of the most cowardly attempts at ratting out who’s funding the lunatic left the world has ever seen.

@187shitlibs @SwannMarcus89 He's an American citizen not like Adelson or Brad Pascal with Salem media. Have the Cuban agents convinced Americans to fight their war. 😂😂😂

lol I called the feds would go after Hasan for the Cuba trip like 3 months ago. It’s a shame I got owned so hard by the 2024 election because my predictive batting average is like 98% otherwise He actually might be in serious trouble. I don’t like the sanctions on Cuba so I don’t support going after anyone for those exclusively, but Hasan admitted he had connections with Cuban agents who set up the trip. Let me give you a hypothetical scenario here that would end with Hasan in prison for quite some time Hasan went to China and Cuba at the invitation of their governments and then after the Cuba trip he suddenly decided to engage a marketing firm and do everything he could to detoxify his brand and infiltrate the Democratic Party. If there are emails with his Cuban “friends” where they advise him on how to help “the cause” by finagling his way into Democratic Party functions, and also they maybe paid for his stay in that government hotel in Cuba, then congratulations, genius! You are now a paid agent working on behalf of a hostile foreign government without identifying yourself as such. In other words, you are a spy actively working to infiltrate one of America’s two primary political parties. I don’t know for sure that’s what happened but it fits with all the available evidence and if that is what happened have fun avoiding federal prison big guy

@zzzzNE0zzzz @SwannMarcus89 An American citizen coordinating with foreign hostile governments. You do realize how fucking stupid you have to be to admit that right?

@trouble_man90 You’re all pussies at the end of the day. The revolutionaries always and will only eat themselves alive. Whether your crushed or whether you win it always ends the same

Holy fuck why is he snitching??? What the fuck is he doing?? Stop talking!

@nyaraVT @Asmongold This is the most pathetic attempt at a gotcha ever attempted and could only be concocted by some gender confused weirdo

What’s up with @Asmongold constantly getting mad at people’s opinions, just to agree with their opinion and justify it.. > “Asmon helped kill his mom” >> “YEA AND I’D DO IT AGAIN” > “Asmon is racist” >> “YEA I AM RACIST” like bro.. why is he even mad when he knows we’re right?

@chlocacola I love how basically all black cope for their own inability to get ahead is them subtext admitted white people are just better and they’re too stupid to see it

us graduating proves allat "DEI is for Black people, what yall gone do now? "do your Black job" rhetoric false, so they rewriting their racism 🫣 they had a head start, threw us every obstacle in the book, and we still came out on top. they mad we can't be stopped 😁

@blak_anarchist @zoojew Yeah that’s not true either 51.2% of violence crime is committed by blacks and that’s an underreporting error due to inner city unsolved crimes

@187shitlibs @zoojew what i said stands. white people commit the most violence. yall simply sanction it or call it somethin else.

@blak_anarchist @zoojew Numbers are racist. That’s why blacks can’t understand per capita

@187shitlibs @zoojew it isnt. at all. not even close

@thecow6oy @zoojew Data is racist

@187shitlibs @zoojew no this isnt true, its more racist talking points

@GovLake @TGChops @blak_anarchist @zoojew Sheeeesh

@TGChops @blak_anarchist @187shitlibs @zoojew

@Harvarddoc32 Then how come every black school doesn’t have more than 30% literacy. No one said anything about Neanderthals but ultimately they would have higher IQs than both the African American or African in general

@187shitlibs Blacks do not have Neanderthal DNA, but you do. Second grade has an empty seat just for you

@Harvarddoc32 Nigga you have an average IQ or 80 which is why your pavement ape ass doesn’t understand the graph

@187shitlibs See you IBWs did learn two words in school Idiot and retarded! congratulations!

@Dsilkotch @len53118 @Zerilath369 @beyond_capital You are a primary factor and proven point as to why the universal right to vote is a mistake

@187shitlibs @len53118 @Zerilath369 @beyond_capital Words can mean anything if you don’t care about actual definitions.

@TPTargeted @Epsteinfiles1 Blacks don’t snitch on each other and the primary factor behind degenerative IQ is incest. Can you explain why blacks average around the same as a gorilla?

@Epsteinfiles1 @187shitlibs 15% vs 58% of the pop btw😭 I love níğger cope and how if whites pop and black pops switched black people would be fucking kids far greater then any other group. Bad day to be a retard.

The only power whites have in America is numbers. Theres a lot more of them. If the numbers were equal whites would be irrelevant and we would have a peaceful non racist country

@rirokpik @PBakera31938 Bicycles and all of civilization

@PBakera31938 e.g?

Being Black Is Such A Huge Flex. Black Ppl Are Creators & Trendsetters. I Love How We Don't Have To Steal Culture Because... WE ARE THE CULTURE.

@rirokpik You have the IQ of a gorilla

@jaggy223 @Epsteinfiles1 The only crimes blacks aren’t over represented in is drunk driving if we are being honest. Whites reign supreme there

@Epsteinfiles1 @187shitlibs Whites are over represented in possession of cp, but blacks are over represented in child sexual abuse, beastiality, etc. One is definitely worse than the other.
