@mrf0x1984 @sshen2011 我仍然认为美国不敢打,但是要向伊朗让步撤掉封锁,现在看来恐怕还得资本市场腥风血雨一下才行。我反正这里已经风险最小化了

Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

I’d like to ask foreign netizens: do you really support the CCP in seizing and consolidating its authoritarian rule through killing and plunder? 🤔

In intensive talks at highest level in 47 years, Iran engaged with U.S in good faith to end war. But when just inches away from "Islamabad MoU", we encountered maximalism, shifting goalposts, and blockade. Zero lessons earned Good will begets good will. Enmity begets enmity.

@Areskapitalon 抛砖引玉,你觉得沙特愿意接触伊朗,这是一个重大假设。沙特和各国王爷们就是不愿意跪伊朗,所以他们愿意跪美国。 你觉得沙特愿意推到现有框架,然后跪伊朗?


说得没错,伊朗对自己的认知一直是非常清晰。海峡的杠杆作用在接下来一段时间内即将被发挥到淋漓尽致——结果就是全球能源创伤后应激障碍。


这种情况下,就像前几天说的,不推荐激进put大盘。价格反应说明了现在这就是一个交易预期的市场,并且川普宁可丧权辱国满口谎话也要护盘的决心给了市场极大的底气。现在更适合低吸原油,针对性put个股,以及把思路放在一些其他地方。我现在觉得港股中概有试一试建仓的价值。


现在的市场就是,市场参与者在拿新闻头条交易,但和物理现实和权力现实严重脱节。所以内塔尼亚胡这种“和黎巴嫩政府谈判解除真主党武装”这种放在以色列国内是笑话的东西,还能给出所谓的“谈判预期”。 因为我们现在就处于春秋和战国时代的过渡时刻,市场还在拿春秋时代的规矩来做战国时代的交易。现在还没办法拿大钱大杠杆赌战国时代的权力现实,只拿有信念的仓位。得等到水面下的东西真的浮到水面上,那些头条都不管用了,再全力出击。

@Areskapitalon 透过所谓的大数据,Ai等标签,PLTR就不是一个好生意。公司本质上就是个超大号ERP项目制公司,每个项目都是高度定制化,每新签一个客户都要重新来一遍,真正能复用的标准化模块很少。那么指数型增长就是张大饼。


@Areskapitalon @lindsaymaozai 反正之前你有一个观点我非常认同,现在很多人都认为美国撤退=海峡开放,但是这错了。实际上是伊朗没拿到自己要的东西(主权.赔偿.以色列认输)海峡就很难开放,就算到了那一步(美撤军)开放也只是口头说开放,实际上流通量非常少。而且美撤军真的好吗?美国人难道不懂撤军对美在国际上声望衰退的影响吗

“结束区域所有冲突”的重点在于美国需要逼迫以色列从黎巴嫩撤军。而这是个不可能完成的任务。实际上这表明了伊朗对和谈与停火的兴趣为零。
