Buckminster Fuller in 1967: "Wealth isn't gold; it's energy. By 2000, there will be a scientific accounting system for wealth—aligned with the laws of physics." A visionary nod to Bitcoin decades before its time.

Holy shit, Jimmy @BrightInsight6 just destroyed Zahi Hawass by exposing him for the liar he is. He has clearly lied about a body being found inside the Osiris Shaft. @piersmorgan you need to address this. You wrongfully defended Zahi.

Bill Maher: “People say the left and right can’t agree on anything these days. Well, there is this one thing they agree on. Right-winger Tucker Carlson has Nick Fuentes and Holocaust deniers on his podcast and wonders along with them who really was the bad guy in World War 2.” “And the New York Times has their podcast, super leftist Hasan Piker, who they call ‘a progressive mind’ and who says Zionist should be treated the same as Nazis.”

Rothmus 🏴@Rothmus·
Often overlooked is the Frankfurt School’s central role, alongside French postmodernists, in forging Critical Theory and exporting it to America, where it evolved into one of the most influential (destructive) ideologies of our time. The Institute for Social Research was founded in Frankfurt in 1923 as an avowedly Marxist institution. When the European working class refused to fulfill Marx’s prophecy of revolution, Max Horkheimer and his colleagues changed course. They developed Critical Theory: not a tool for economic reform, but a sophisticated intellectual weapon designed to dismantle Western culture, the family, traditional authority, and the very concepts of objective reason and truth. Driven into exile by the Nazis, the Frankfurt School relocated to Columbia University in the United States. There, its ideas took root in academia and spread outward. This framework provided the direct intellectual foundation for Critical Race Theory. CRT simply replaced class with race while retaining the same core premises: society is a zero-sum power struggle between oppressors and oppressed, objective truth is a myth deployed by the powerful, and Western institutions are inherently racist by design. The consequences surround us: classrooms saturated in racial grievance, corporations imposing divisive DEI mandates, and a culture that has abandoned merit, colorblindness, and individual responsibility in favor of equity, identity politics, and inherited guilt. The Frankfurt School never aimed to improve the West. It trained generations in the art of deconstructing and ultimately destroying it. The antidote is to reclaim truth, merit, reason, and the foundational values of Western civilization. The “long march through the institutions” began here. It is time to march back.

Je veux présenter mes excuses, au nom des Français, pour avoir enfanté la French Theory (qui a enfanté la pire des merdes idéologiques : le wokisme). Nous avons donné au monde Descartes, Pascal, Tocqueville. Et puis, dans les ruines intellectuelles de l'après-68, nous avons donné Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze. Trois hommes brillants qui ont fabriqué, dans l'élégance de notre langue, l'arme idéologique qui paralyse aujourd'hui l'Occident. Il faut comprendre ce qu'ils ont fait. Foucault a enseigné que la vérité n'existe pas, qu'il n'y a que des rapports de pouvoir déguisés en savoir. Que la science, la raison, la justice, l'institution médicale, l'école, la prison, la sexualité, tout n'est qu'une mise en scène de la domination. Derrida a enseigné que les textes n'ont pas de sens stable, que tout signifiant glisse, que toute lecture est une trahison, que l'auteur est mort et que le lecteur règne. Deleuze a enseigné qu'il fallait préférer le rhizome à l'arbre, le nomade au sédentaire, le désir à la loi, le devenir à l'être, la différence à l'identité. Pris isolément, ce sont des thèses discutables. Combinées, exportées, vulgarisées, elles forment un système. Et ce système est un poison. Car voici ce qui s'est passé. Ces textes, illisibles en France, ont traversé l'Atlantique. Les départements de Yale, de Berkeley, de Columbia les ont absorbés dans les années 80. Ils y ont trouvé un terreau qui n'existait pas chez nous : le puritanisme américain, sa culpabilité raciale, son obsession identitaire. La French Theory s'est mariée à ce substrat, et l'enfant de ce mariage s'appelle le wokisme. Judith Butler lit Foucault et invente le genre performatif. Edward Said lit Foucault et invente le post-colonialisme académique. Kimberlé Crenshaw hérite du cadre et invente l'intersectionnalité. À chaque étape, la matrice est française : il n'y a pas de vérité, il n'y a que du pouvoir, donc toute hiérarchie est suspecte, toute institution est oppressive, toute norme est violence, toute identité est construite donc négociable, toute majorité est coupable. Voilà comment trois philosophes parisiens, qui n'ont probablement jamais imaginé leurs conséquences pratiques, ont fourni le logiciel d'exploitation à une génération entière d'activistes, de bureaucrates universitaires, de DRH, de journalistes, de législateurs. Voilà comment on a obtenu une civilisation qui ne sait plus dire si une femme est une femme, si sa propre histoire mérite d'être défendue, si le mérite existe, si la vérité se distingue de l'opinion. C'est de la merde pour une raison simple, et il faut la dire calmement. Une civilisation se tient debout sur trois piliers : la croyance qu'il existe une vérité accessible à la raison, la croyance qu'il existe un bien distinct du mal, la croyance qu'il existe un héritage à transmettre. La French Theory a entrepris de dynamiter les trois. Pas par méchanceté. Par jeu intellectuel, par fascination du soupçon, par haine de la bourgeoisie qui les avait nourris. Mais le résultat est là. Une génération entière a appris à déconstruire et n'a jamais appris à construire. Une génération entière sait soupçonner et ne sait plus admirer. Une génération entière voit le pouvoir partout et la beauté nulle part. Je m'excuse parce que nous, Français, avons une responsabilité particulière. C'est notre langue, nos universités, nos éditeurs, notre prestige qui ont donné à ce nihilisme son emballage chic. Sans la légitimité de la Sorbonne et de Vincennes, ces idées n'auraient jamais traversé l'océan. Nous avons exporté le doute comme d'autres exportent des armes. Ce qui se construit maintenant, en silicon valley, dans les labos d'IA, dans les startups, dans les ateliers, dans tous les lieux où des gens fabriquent encore des choses au lieu de les déconstruire, c'est la réponse. Une civilisation se reconstruit par les bâtisseurs, pas par les commentateurs. Par ceux qui croient que la vérité existe et qu'elle vaut qu'on s'y consacre. Par ceux qui assument une hiérarchie du beau, du vrai, du bon, et qui n'ont pas honte de la transmettre. Alors pardon. Et au travail.

EU continues to live in the darkness of 19th-Century delusions, when it comes to understanding climate change. They still discuss insanities such as CO2 emissions and how to tax them without realizing that CO2 has NOTHING to do with climate change. Warming since 1980 was the result of a decreasing cloud albedo, not increasing human carbon emissions! Wake up to the real science...😎

Looters in northern Peru accidentally exposed a 4,000 year old 3D mural that mainstream archaeology is now calling unprecedented. The mural was buried inside the adobe walls of a 40 hectare ceremonial complex at Huaca Yolanda on the northern Peruvian coast, comparable in scale to Caral. The team led by Dr Ana Cecilia Mauricio only got to it after looters had partially exposed it first. It measures over 16 feet long and 6.5 feet high, painted in blue, yellow, red, and black pigment. 🔹Mural over 16 feet long 🔹Double-sided 3D relief carving 🔹Fish, stars, and fishing nets depicted 🔹40 hectare ceremonial temple complex 🔹Made before pottery existed in the region 🔹Discovered by looters before archaeologists The mural is unique on the entire Peruvian archaeological record. No comparable artwork has ever been found in the country, and Mauricio herself called the find unprecedented in Peruvian archaeology. The culture that built it had not yet invented ceramics. And yet they were producing double-sided 3D polychrome murals with sophisticated marine iconography on the walls of one of the oldest ceremonial complexes in the Americas. The site is currently under active threat from agricultural expansion and continued looting, and mainstream archaeology is racing to document it before it is destroyed. What else is sitting in pre-ceramic Peru that mainstream has not gotten to yet?

Who Profits from Prediction Markets? In the high-stakes arena of prediction markets, a counterintuitive pattern emerges: retail traders who correctly pick winners more than half the time still lose money, while automated traders with coin-flip accuracy pocket nine-figure profits. Using 222 million prediction market trades with directly observable terminal payoffs, the paper “Who Profits from Prediction? Execution, Not Information” presents a clean answer to why it is so. The authors decompose trader returns into a directional component and an execution component, revealing that the execution component, not the directional component, determines which trader types earn positive returns. quantpedia.com/who-profits-fr… #prediction #markets #kalshi #polymarket #trading

Ken Griffin went home on a Friday "fairly depressed" after watching AI agents at Citadel do work that used to take teams of PhDs in finance months to complete. Done in days. His words: "These are not mid-tier white collar jobs. These are extraordinarily high skilled jobs being automated by agentic AI." This is the head of one of the most successful hedge funds in history saying the people he pays seven figures to analyze markets and structure deals are being replaced by software that works in hours instead of months. Not theoretically. In his own office. Right now. The Coatue deck we covered earlier this week called agents "the biggest unlock" in AI. Griffin just confirmed it from the buy side. The shift from copilots to agents is not a future event. It is already happening at the highest levels of finance.

Elon Musk says every new chip fab takes five years from start to volume. Every AI company on Earth needed more chips by 2030. OpenAI. Anthropic. Google. Meta. Each one had built the budget. The chips didn't exist yet. Capacity through 2030 had already been booked at every major fab. "I ask TSMC or Samsung, okay, what's the timeframe to get to volume production?" Break ground. Climb the yield curve. Reach volume. Each stage took at least a year, and the curve refused to flatten. Yield meant percent of wafers that ship. Yield meant survival. Then Musk dropped the actual number. "That, from start to finish, is a five-year period." Musk gave the constraint a name: **the five-year fab clock**. Five years. No shortcuts. Musk, who had prepaid TSMC and Samsung through 2030, knew the clock. His own AI5 chip targets production in 2026's second quarter. A new fab needed to break ground, install ASML tools, train tens of thousands of operators, run pilot wafers, debug each process step, and ramp from one wafer per day to fifty thousand. TSMC Taiwan. Samsung Korea. TSMC Arizona. Samsung Texas. All booked. Every shovel of dirt accounted for. After Musk drew the clock, every 2027 AI promise became unfulfillable. Compute would have to wait for cement to dry. Musk, on the suppliers who were trying: "They're going balls to the wall, as fast as they can. It's still not fast enough." What ceiling on your roadmap is bound by physical constraints nobody is naming? P.S. If you want to stop overthinking, control chaos, and navigate any decision with the clarity...

You need to see this. Jimmy Corsetti just released a new video examining claims and inconsistencies surrounding the Osiris Shaft and comments made by Zahi Hawass during their recent appearance on Piers Morgan. The Osiris Shaft is a deep subterranean structure beneath the Giza Plateau, located between the Sphinx and the second pyramid. Back in 1999, Hawass descended into the shaft during a Fox documentary and described it as one of the most important discoveries connected to Giza. Three levels down is a flooded chamber containing a central stone platform surrounded by water, multiple pillars, and a large sarcophagus with a second stone box inside it. 🔹Publication discusses skeletal remains 🔹Big Void found in 2016, still unexplored 🔹Shaft descends around 100 feet into bedrock 🔹1999 documentary called it a major discovery 🔹On Piers Morgan Hawass described it as empty 🔹Corsetti references a 2007 Hawass publication During the debate, Corsetti asked Hawass directly what had been found inside the sarcophagus. Hawass responded that it was empty and symbolic in nature. Afterwards, Corsetti says he revisited a 2007 publication associated with Hawass and hosted on Harvard’s Giza archive. According to Corsetti’s interpretation of the document, it describes skeletal remains being discovered in connection with the shaft. One important detail is that the Osiris Shaft contains multiple chambers and sarcophagi across different levels. Some reports place remains in upper chambers, while the lower chamber sarcophagus is often described separately as empty. Corsetti argues the wording of the publication may connect the remains to the lower chamber itself. Corsetti also compares the shaft to Herodotus’s description of a subterranean tomb beneath Giza surrounded by water, and raises the possibility that the structure may have had a more important purpose than currently accepted interpretations suggest. He presents several possible explanations for why the accounts may differ, including ambiguity in the publications, interpretation of the discoveries, or broader disagreements about the significance of the site. Corsetti repeatedly states that he is not formally accusing Hawass or anyone else of wrongdoing. The video also discusses the Big Void detected inside the Great Pyramid by the ScanPyramids project in 2016 and published in 2017. Corsetti questions why direct exploration of the void has taken so long, while acknowledging that access and preservation challenges are significant factors in Egyptian archaeology. The debate is on Piers Morgan Uncensored, and Corsetti’s full breakdown is on Bright Insight. Watch both and decide for yourself what you think the evidence shows. What do you think they actually found down there?

Agustin Lebron, former Jane Street trader, author of The Laws of Trading. on academic finance research: "most published finance trading research is crap. because if it weren't crap, they would go trade it." "i think of papers as idea jumping off points. not things that I read, replicate, and then do." this is why i tell every new trader: papers give you the starting direction. great for ideas or even techniques, but won't make you rich overnight.

Captain Allen@CptAllenHistory·
This real-time 1948 article from The Economist completely destroys the modern “Nakba” narrative that was invented decades later as political propaganda. Straight from British eyewitnesses in Haifa, October 2, 1948: “Jewish authorities urged all Arabs to remain in Haifa and guaranteed them protection and security ... However, of the 62,000 Arabs who formerly lived in Haifa, not more than 5,000 or 6,000 remained. The most potent factor was the announcements made over the air by the Arab Higher Executive, urging the Arabs to quit ... those who remained and accepted Jewish protection would be regarded as renegades.” They didn’t flee because of “Zionist ethnic cleansing.” They fled because Arab leaders ordered them to get out of the way so their armies could “drive the Jews into the sea.” Then they lost the war they started — and spent the next 77 years rewriting history to blame the Jews. The “Nakba” you were taught? Pure revisionist fiction.
Captain Allen tweet media
Captain Allen@CptAllenHistory

The word “Nakba” (catastrophe) wasn’t invented by Palestinians to describe Jewish “ethnic cleansing.” It was coined in 1948 by a Syrian Arab historian, Constantin Zureiq, in his book The Meaning of the Disaster. He used it to describe the humiliating failure of the Arab world — their leaders’ arrogance, their lies to their own people, their military incompetence, and their refusal to accept a Jewish state. Zureiq wrote that the Arabs had “imaginary victories” and put their public “to sleep” with boasts — until the real disaster hit: they couldn’t wipe out the Jews. The original Nakba wasn’t about refugees. That a rebrand from several decades later. It was about the Arab leaders’ catastrophic decision to launch a war of extermination ... and lose. They’ve spent 77 years rebranding their own failure as Jewish guilt. That’s the only real "Nakba" they can’t forgive.
