@chris_robb1 Seems like you are unaware of what Sanders, AOC, Warren, and the entirety of the socialist left are actually proposing.

Ressentiment — when the weak, who cannot bear to compare themselves to the strong, take out their envy on them by redefining strength as morally wicked and weakness as honorable, humble, and good.
Ressentiment feeds our society's corrosive impulse to limit its own potential. The weak drag down those who are strong—along with everyone else—so that we may all share in equal mediocrity. "Equality of outcome," as the socialists say.
Ressentiment is the cultural inferiority complex from which the Socialist-Woke mind virus spreads. It's why we are afraid of successful entrepreneurs and gifted students in schools. They force into view the uncomfortable truth that some individuals are uniquely capable of greatness.
The fallacy is the belief that it's a zero-sum game, that one person's success necessarily comes at the expense of another's. There may be no cultural mindset that is more destructive to civilization.

People need to stop thinking of Elon as a trillionaire rather than a manager of a trillion dollars' worth of assets. And he manages it well. The government doesn't. That same money in the hands of the government would be splintered into a thousand different methods of waste and corruption. No thank you.

.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.
SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.
Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.
SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.
Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.
The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.
Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.
Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.
Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.
Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.
We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.

If the socialists had their way, Elon would have had his paypal profits taken and redistributed for the greater good.
The world would never have seen Tesla, nor SpaceX.
And the world wouldn't know it, because they were uncreated, and thus unseen.
Imagine the companies that don't exist, because Washington destroyed them before they were born.

@micsolana @toly I have to believe that some of their supporters—maybe even the majority—are genuinely misinformed and do care

tech people trying to politely untangle the logic of democrats today, explaining how wealth is really held, produced, and all the good the industry is doing as if people like sanders or mamdani or kanna care — they don’t. they just want your shit. please understand this already.

Some personal news: I've joined @MythosVentures as a Venture Partner. Mythos invests in ambitious teams with defensible strategies that scale to a safe, post-AGI world. Supporting that mission through non-profit work is at the heart of what I do at Foresight; I'm delighted to now back founders from a for-profit angle as well. Dms are open if that's you :)

Allison has spent her career steering towards a technological future that is both powerful and good. Now, alongside her ongoing responsibilities at Foresight, she will work with Mythos to build some epic companies. ✨

@alive_ Obsidian is a good stress test because the files are small but interlinked. Before Codex edits the vault, do you take a git checkpoint, or rely on Obsidian Sync/version history for rollback?
English
goated setup to get Codex to read/write your Obsidian vault on your phone:
1. Get a cloud machine. I use GCP.
2. Add it to Codex: Connections => SSH
3. Clone your obsidian vault to the machine
4. Ask Codex to setup headless Obsidian sync
That's it. You can now use Codex Mobile to do anything on your vault, and the changes will be reflected immediately on your phone's Obsidian.

Beyond excited to be investing in and partnering with @YuvalRooz, @wesarn_real & @ShaulKfir and the entire @digitalasset team.
In my brief time working with them, the three adjectives that best describe this team are:
tenacious, pragmatic & visionary.
These qualities are what’s required to help shepherd the largest, most sophisticated financial institutions onto blockchain infrastructure.
Let’s do this!

I am very excited to be working with Yuval for real and not just through a book :-).
Yuval Rooz@YuvalRooz
Almost 12 years ago, I left @DRWTrading with @wesarn_real to start @digitalasset. @ShaulKfir joined us shortly after. The name felt right. The idea was simple but audacious: build a global settlement system that is asset agnostic. One that doesn’t eliminate banks, exchanges, and intermediaries, but tears down the barriers keeping people from accessing assets and settling at a fraction of today’s cost. A new financial world, built for the end consumer. We knew institutional adoption was the path. We just didn’t know how long it would take. We failed. We made bad decisions. There are things we would have done differently. But we never let go of our North Star, even when people around us were convinced we had no idea what we were doing. That focus, conviction, and most of all, patience, led us to launching @CantonNetwork. And the results speak for themselves. Today is a new chapter in that story. I’m proud to announce that @a16zcrypto is leading our latest round, joined by some of the giants of the global financial system, including @ABNAMRO, ADIA, @apolloglobal, @BNPParibasCIB, @Broadridge, @citsecurities, @CMEVentures, @cbventures, Green Wolf Asset Management, @Hanwha_Official, @HSBC, @icapitalnetwork, @LCVentures, @OptiverGlobal, @polychain, @R136Ventures, @SPGlobal, @sbigroup, @smash_capital, @SoFi, @Tradeweb, and @WilliamBlair, and others we’ll be naming shortly. Twelve years ago, I could not have imagined building alongside partners of this caliber. $CC today processes the highest fees of any institutional blockchain network. And we’re just getting started. What’s coming later this year is just as exciting. None of this happens without the builders, the ones who show up to weekly tokenomics meetings, dial into operations subcommittees, spend nights and weekends building apps on Canton, and show up on @X to cheer this ecosystem forward. You are not just supporters. You are partners. I’m honored to be on this journey with you. On a personal note: @a16z hits differently for me. Ben’s book The Hard Thing About Hard Things was one I kept coming back to during the hard stretches. Having his firm lead this round is meaningful in a way that’s hard to put into words. So I’ll let him do it: “The hard thing isn’t setting a big, audacious goal. The hard thing is spending sleepless nights trying to achieve it. The hard thing isn’t dreaming big. The hard thing is waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat when the dream turns into a nightmare. Motivating yourself by watching YouTube shorts or Instagram reels isn’t the hard thing. The hard thing is working every day and being consistent even if you feel like shit. The hard thing isn’t boasting you could achieve anything. The hard thing is working like hell to achieve something. The hard thing isn’t believing in yourself. The hard thing is getting things done when nobody believes in you, even when you doubt yourself. The hard thing isn’t telling yourself that you must achieve the impossible. The hard thing is toiling hard every day for years despite knowing that success is too uncertain.” theblock.co/post/404386/a1…
