Anarchotyranny is where your son gets arrested and shown no mercy by the legal system for riding on his dirt bike, but were a 55-time felon to rob him at gunpoint, that felon would be let off with charges dropped within mere hours

@david_perell Consumer items have been designed to be replaced, not fixed, and made continuously made cheaper over time. It’s the rational choice given the available options for most people

One reason why the quality of things has declined is that capitalism has gotten too good. People don't know how to repair stuff like they used to, and why would they? It's cheaper now to order something new than fix the thing you already have. And if you plan to rebuy something when it breaks, why get the nicest version?

@Crypto_McKenna Still bullish on Valhalla Foundation?

$SOL Solana in my view is primed for upside here as we approach the pump fund TGE which could have TRUMP like tailwinds. Additionally, spot ETFs for SOL look to be incredibly close with no further comment relayed by the SEC. However, another much more interesting catalyst... The Genius Act set to bring foundational regulations for stablecoin issuers are about to pass and the biggest traditional payment companies such as Stripe are building on Solana. I believe Solana will be a huge beneficiary of the stablecoin trade given it's highly performant L1 continually scaling to cater to end users. $260 is the target but most likely FUD.

This plan to sell off public lands is a terrible proposal that doesn’t make any sense under our present circumstances and would be a colossal political blunder, but I will try to be fair to @BasedMikeLee and at least explain where this is all coming from. Selling off public lands in the west is an old idea on the right and became a point of special interest in the late 70s and early 80s. Look up the Sagebrush Rebellion. In short, Orrin Hatch led efforts out of Utah to transfer federal land to states and private holders throughout the western states, mostly for grazing and mining. This was all part of the larger anti-fed, small government for small government’s sake, anti-EPA sentiment that prevailed during the Reagan years. Western ranchers and their Republican states—remember even California was a Republican state then—didn’t like the idea of DC bureaucrats telling them what they could and couldn’t do in their own backyards. Fine. But that was a different time. Much different priorities. Much different demographics. Much different needs. Lee is obviously drafting off his state’s legacy on this issue but this current proposal has badly misread the current lay of the land. You could plausibly defend targeted land swaps or narrow leases for ranchers or even mining in places where it makes sense. It’s a completely different thing to propose selling off our country’s pristine western landscape for… “affordable housing.” What? Affordable housing is a fake and indefensible justification that, if it’s not a cover for more sinister motivations, gives the impression of more sinister motivations. This has all been very poorly messaged and poorly conceived and is a crystal clear example of where older GOP ideas are mismatched with the political desires of young people on the right. Our public lands are one of the last holdouts against the slopification of our country and our lives more broadly. This is not something to toy around with as part of some libertarian/boomer con point-scoring exercise. This needs to be reworked. This is political poison, and even under the most charitable reading provides only marginal short-term benefit. Don’t do this!

@rshereme Why don't you move to Ukraine then? You're obviously from there

If you kill one person, the CIA will hunt you down across the globe. But if you kill thousands, the U.S. Special Representative will come to greet you. The day after russia killed 12 in Kyiv, Whitcroft flew to meet Putin with a smiling face, saying, “I’m so glad to see you.”

Can't wait for WW1 to end so we can get rid of this temporary income tax.

The real bitcoin strategic reserve in the US sits in the wallets of individuals and businesses. If the Trump admin wants to win the bitcoin race the best way to do that is to unleash the private market. Admit that bitcoin is an emerging currency. Eliminate the capital gains tax. Enshrine the right to self custody and private usage into law. If Trump does these three things it won't matter how much bitcoin the federal government holds. The American private market will ensure that the US wins the bitcoin race.

this is the only game-theoretically stable value system btw

@nonRealBrandon @rohanpaul_ai It definitely censors western topics as well

@rohanpaul_ai Deepseek will answer questions that western models will censor. I care more about that than chinese censor topics. I care less about how 'china isn't free' for models I use, to how the west isn't free.
