Western civilization is amazing

The near impossible is becoming possible. We are building toward a sustained human presence at the lunar South Pole. It begins with Phase 1: CLPS landers and LTV rovers testing the “science of survival” on the lunar surface before heavy HLS cargo landers deliver the mass and infrastructure needed for an enduring presence. We are building the Moon Base for all we will learn, the innovation that will improve life on Earth, the inspiration for the next generation of explorers, and to master the skills needed for where we will inevitably go next...Mars. The Golden Age of lunar exploration has begun.

As a young socialist, Hayek read Ludwig von Mises’ 1920 paper “Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth.” Mises showed that socialist central planning isn’t merely inefficient, it’s impossible. Without private property and genuine market prices, planners lack any rational way to allocate scarce resources or determine real costs and needs. Even Oskar Lange, a leading socialist in the calculation debate, effectively conceded the point. While he promoted “market socialism” with trial-and-error pricing by a central board, real-world socialist planners in Eastern Europe quietly relied on world capitalist market prices as a guide. Without external free-market price signals, pure socialism would be economically blind and coordination would collapse. Mises went further, arguing that interventionism, the “middle way” of government meddling, is inherently unstable. Each intervention creates problems that invite more interventions, eventually leading to full socialization. Price controls cause shortages, subsidies distort production, and the cycle continues until the economy is fully planned. The lesson is clear. Rational economics requires genuine market prices emerging from voluntary exchange and private property. Half-measures don’t stabilize the system. They accelerate the drift into central planning. The Austrian School understood this decades before the collapse of the Soviet bloc proved it in practice.

Dans le manifeste "techno-optimiste" de Marc Andreessen, il y a une phrase qui m'a marqué : "Our enemies are not bad people – but rather bad ideas." Nos ennemis ne sont pas des mauvaises personnes. Ce sont des mauvaises idées. Prenons Jancovici. L'homme est brillant, sincère, travailleur. Il ne se lève pas le matin en se disant qu'il va nuire à l'humanité. Mais l'idée qu'il porte la décroissance, le rationnement, la frugalité érigée en horizon civilisationnel est une idée profondément destructrice. Elle prend des esprits brillants et les transforme en commissaires politiques d'un futur appauvri. Et le plus fascinant, c'est ce que cette idée fait aux gens qui l'adoptent. Dans mon entourage, une grosse partie de mes amis est sur cette ligne décroissantiste, avec tout le package qui va avec. L'argent c'est mal mais ils en veulent. Il faut moins prendre l'avion mais ils rêvent de voyager partout. Il faut consommer moins mais ils ne renoncent à rien de ce qu'ils aiment vraiment. Et tous ont un point commun : ils sont déprimés. L'un d'eux m'a même confié qu'il était sous antidépresseurs. Ce n'est pas un hasard. C'est mécanique. Quand tu crois que ton désir de vivre, de créer, de t'élever est moralement suspect tu te détruis de l'intérieur. Tu passes ta vie à t'excuser d'exister. Tu vis dans la dissonance permanente entre ce que ton corps veut (plus, mieux, plus loin) et ce que ton idéologie t'ordonne (moins, sobre, immobile). D'où ma théorie : Quand on pense quelque chose de fondamentalement faux décroissance, communisme, extrémisme religieux (de tout ordre) ce n'est qu'une question de temps avant que ça devienne vraiment destructeur. D'abord pour soi. Puis pour les autres. Les mauvaises idées tuent. Lentement chez ceux qui y croient, brutalement chez ceux qui les subissent. C'est pour ça que la bataille des idées n'est pas un luxe d'intellectuel. C'est la bataille la plus importante de notre époque.

The truth is called hateful in Belgium. Therefore speaking it is against the law. This is more frightening than calling the truth "misinformation". They have stopped pretending completely. They are openly admitting that they have criminalized the truth.

Dries has just been convicted again: This time for speaking the truth about the disastrous consequences of mass migration. The most insane part is that the Belgian court even admitted Dries spoke the truth, as what he said was factual, but deems it a crime because it could incite hatred. Let that sink in. They’re criminalizing the truth and they’re using Dries to set an example. Let’s come together to help him. Dries is a young father, a brave patriot and the Belgian establishment has been trying to destroy him for years. He’s taken so many hits, he really deserves our help.

NASA just officially unveiled their master plan for a permanent Moon Base at the lunar South Pole This is not just about flags and footprints. NASA is moving to establish an enduring, sustained human presence, and they are heavily relying on commercial innovators to build it The roadmap is highly aggressive: • Phase 1: Heavy robotic missions and commercial payload deliveries • Phase 2: Semi-permanent infrastructure, including fission surface power and lunar drones • Phase 3: A sustained, permanent human outpost The most important takeaway is NASA explicitly stated this base is the ultimate proving ground to prepare humanity for missions to Mars While legacy aerospace companies are still struggling to reliably get a small capsule to the ISS, NASA is setting the stage for massive lunar infrastructure....which is exactly the kind of heavy-lift planetary deployment SpaceX’s Starship was designed for The multi-planetary economy is officially kicking off

Belgian man convicted of hate speech describes the judicial rationale for his latest conviction. I asked Gemini: Is this man's account of his conviction accurate? Gemini replied that it was grossly inaccurate. So, I copied and pasted Gemini's response, and asked Grok to reply to it. Grok told me that Gemini was mixing up two different cases, and that the tweet was an accurate representation of the latest judicial proceeding against Van Langenhove. I went back to Gemini, and asked it to reply to what Grok had just told me, and it responded: "Grok is completely correct. I mixed up the cases, and I appreciate the correction." As I've tweeted in the past: This sort of thing happens all the time.

Just press Cmd + Shift + Ctrl + 3, then Cmd + V paste the screenshot directly into Grok Build and ask it to inspire, guide, explain, debug, or recreate what you want It’s much easier to explain ideas visually instead of trying to type out every tiny detail manually The workflow feels incredibly natural and easy once you start using images directly inside the development process Grok is multimodal and already has surprisingly strong vision capabilities for understanding screenshots, UI, layouts, and visual context

Beginner video: How to install & use Grok Build (made for non-technical SuperGrok and X Premium+ users) I got so many questions from friends, so I made this simple step-by-step guide. You’ll see exactly how to: • Install Grok Build in seconds with one command • Create real websites • Use Grok Imagine to auto-generate images & videos • Run multiple projects at once in different folders Grok even runs commands for you. No coding experience needed. Watch the full walkthrough 👇

Try it out! Favorite features: - <1 second web/X search - Editing and creating assets with Imagine - Great subagent/worktree integrations

NEW: Spencer Pratt fires back at reporter after he was asked about his plan for the homeless, says they will all end up in Seattle. Reporter: "What are your plans for the over 40,000 homeless in Los Angeles?" Pratt: "Well, they're not homeless, they're drug addicts... These people have been bused in by scam rehabs, scam NGOs, scam homeless nonprofits." "These people, when I unplug them ... they're all going to Seattle, where the mayor will welcome them."
