@BryanBerg2000 @messy_eloise @GrantCardone Yes, cognitive dissonance does tend to provide that feeling. filtration of water does not require electricity although it is more efficient and you don’t need pumps for tanks. And you’ve not touched on any of the other running water infrastructure that affect your life.

Would you rather live without running water or electricity?

@iLoveJaneAdams @GrantCardone Exactly. And it is scary. I kept hearing from people who apparently get their water from gravity fed aqueducts 😂 while telling me I need to know more about civil engineering and physics. X is a strange place. Stocking up isn't unwise.

@BryanBerg2000 @GrantCardone That’s the terrifying part. One power outage and millions of people suddenly realize they don’t actually “have” water. They rent it from the grid.

@DavidSacks Had me at the first sentence. Yet we all felt the "but" coming. Not a Luddite, BUT it's getting harder to trust our rulers by the day. Remember back when Gates and Fink wanted more DEI and ESG, Go Green or else, BUT changed utterly when it suited them? Yeah.

The Pope rightly warns that AI must serve human dignity, not become a tool of domination or exclusion. But if we hand governments sweeping power over AI development in the name of safety, how do we prevent it from being used to censor, surveil, and control citizens — as Orwell foretold in 1984? This is the real alignment problem. “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes.” Who will guard the guardians? “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” The oldest questions of human nature and authority don’t disappear in the AI age. They become newly relevant.

@1100RS @pmarca @theallinpod Yes. And I don't think people have caught yet that a global food shortage is likely cooked in for 2027. USA, just some higher prices. But between fertilizer shortage and likely effects of the El Nino, things could get wild in Asia and Africa. Even elsewhere.

Nobody has any idea what this supposed pathway to abundance looks like. All I know is that to get there, people will lose their income long before they gather any "abundance." So the truth is that we will never get there because millions of people out of work and relying on government handouts will result in a very analog violent uprising.

The Trump election was blamed on foreign influence. Tech employee activism was blamed on foreign influence. Campus riots were blamed on foreign influence. Now anti-datacenter activism is being blamed on foreign influence. All cope.

@PrettyFlocko_A1 @NotA_Bull Companies I love for the future, even when I get impatient. I'm mostly $VELO Velo3D and waiting. $LOCL for health and hydroponics. On a strong pullback, I'll probably just go $QQQ and $SPY with the cash I have remaining.

@BryanBerg2000 @NotA_Bull That makes sense. Prices for a lot of things have been rising too fast lately. How do you choose which stocks to buy?

Which stocks are you planning to buy this week?

@1100RS @pmarca @theallinpod Exactly, even in the granular. Not a Luddite on this stuff, but it's odd that data center advocates keep tossing temporary construction contracts into the "jobs created" bucket. Or how they flipped from environmentalist ESG to "more power now, please!" No trust here.

@BryanBerg2000 @pmarca @theallinpod No work and free money. Another promise of a socialist utopia. As predicted by those who would be trillionaires in charge. And they wonder why people are suspicious.

@GrindeOptions Small orders in for $NNDM Nano Dimension and $AVAV AeroVironment. Mostly cash, waiting for a broader pullback.

What stocks are you planning on buying next week? 👀

@SharylAttkisson Less of an early adopter in tech with age. I think that's typical - I've no interest in TikTok, for instance, but early on MySpace. New ideas or something of immediate utility, I still jump on board quickly.

Are you generally an early adopter, or do you wait until some people have tried it, or are you the last one to come on board?

@messy_eloise @moodyrepub @GrantCardone This is the strangest conversation I've had. God bless X. Typically, electricity is used to pump water into the towers in the first place. Have a great day!

@BryanBerg2000 @moodyrepub @GrantCardone Because the current system is more stable, tap water can be pressurized by electricity at any time, so there are no water towers in the city. If a stable water supply is desired, and it can be used in high-rise buildings at any time, electricity is needed

@moodyrepub @messy_eloise @GrantCardone It's good to learn that no electricity is needed for filtration or to get water into the towers. For the majority of people living in the USA, electricity is required long-term for running water.

@messy_eloise @BryanBerg2000 @GrantCardone The reason why the build water towers at elevation. The height plus weight of water create a pressure on the system. That pressure is why electricity isn’t needed.

@moodyrepub @messy_eloise @GrantCardone 😂

@BryanBerg2000 @messy_eloise @GrantCardone It’s not really news to anyone who knows anything about fluid dynamics

@moodyrepub @messy_eloise @GrantCardone I meant, my "correct" answer to the question of which I'd do without. Geez. Glad to hear from a civil engineer that modern systems for running water don't require electricity. That's great news!

@BryanBerg2000 @messy_eloise @GrantCardone “Correct” is hilariously egotistical. Also I’m a civil engineer and your understanding of hydraulics is sorely lacking.

@Tekeee Apart from 2022 and a brief 2020 Covid shutdown blip, we've been in one for decades. Seems hot, hoping for a pullback. 🤷‍♂️

When is the next bullrun?

@cryptoedge37 @LeadingReport Likely, states can opt out. W Bush expanded DST, and Indian Nations and AZ just stayed out of it.

@LeadingReport What happens to the states that already said no to this or do they just get dragged along anyway

President Trump indicates he will sign bill making daylight saving time permanent.

@SilentStonerz @NotA_Bull 100%. Outside my knowledge, but it seems it would take a bankruptcy to pivot that hard, esp. if they are slow to move like yesterday.

@BryanBerg2000 @NotA_Bull Yeah that is definitely a viable option that could save the company, but as of now to me I would not touch it with a 20 foot stick

What is a stock you are 100% convinced will be worth $0 by 2030?

@Polymarket 😂 Seems they've learned PR and branding from the best.

JUST IN: Iran declares it will not charge tolls in the Strait of Hormuz, will instead charge “environmental protection fees”

@SilentStonerz @NotA_Bull 🤔 Good stab at it. They'll need to pivot hard to survive, for sure. Top notch real estate, huge building, massive parking - seems on brand to move into laser tag, physical recreation from climbing walls to bowling, VR gaming spaces, plus dining?

@NotA_Bull AMC. I honestly do not know how movie theatres are still surviving

@AnnCoulter Agree. It's a tough tightrope to walk wanting those immigrants while reducing others and dodging the obvious arrows. Musk has provided brave cover. I appreciate that. You too.

There are only about 5 million whites in South Africa (currently being murdered at a rapid rate), but among South African tech founders in the U.S. are Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, David Sachs and Roelof Botha. Trump can't get white South Africans here fast enough.

@DrNeilStone So many poisons are injected and fed into us, it's going to be nearly impossible to ever draw a 1:1 causality. But the more poisons removed, the better.

Yes mercury was removed from vaccines Guess what happened to autism rates since then They went..UP
