@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Dude. The money has already been made by the time the IPO price is set. Most of the game has already been accumulated in the private market. This is the thing most people don’t understand.

Great news, retail investors will officially be offered @SpaceX IPO shares! SpaceX shares will be offered to retail investors through the brokerages of Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Robinhood, SoFi and E*Trade. "Any purchase of our Class A common stock in this offering through these platforms will be at the same IPO price, and at the same time, as any other purchases in this offering, including purchases by institutions and other large investors." - SpaceX

I love Colombia, I really do, but why do so many people not use headphones and have their phones on full volume? Do they not feel guilty they're disturbing other people? Curious.

@OnlyinFlorida2 I lived there 23 years. It is oppressively hot. You can barely walk outside during the day, 9 months out of the year. Its flat and has a bland landscape. Its only tolerable if you live right on the beach or you have a boat. You can keep it.

Anyone who bashes the state of Florida hasn’t actually explored the entire state. We have beaches, big cities, rural small towns & vast open countryside. It’s a beautiful state and i couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. Oh and we’re Red and have the best Governor in America 🇺🇸

Muslim immigrant Walmart employees started harassing an American shopper who was simply recording her own shopping trip. One cursed at her, and the other made a cut-throat gesture across her neck, threatening her not to post the video. All while wearing the official “Happy to Help” vests. This is what unchecked “diversity” looks like in your local store. These two need to be fired because they don’t belong in jobs serving the American public with this kind of third-world behavior.

This guy is using the left hand lane , which is open. There is a mile long backup and everyone is over in the right hand lane. He drives all the way up until he has to merge. Some people are saying what a jerk he is for not getting in line like everyone else, but a great many people are saying that the cars in the right lane merged into one lane too soon and that if they had used the left lane, instead of being a mile backup it would have been a half a mile backup. What’s your take? Do you think he was correct in using the left lane and merging up at the front or should he have merged right and got in line way in the back like everyone else?

@JoeyMannarino Less regulation? There are almost no rules in Colombia. Zoning? Nope. Open a welding business or paint shop in your garage, no restrictions. Have you seen the way people drive? Nutso. Prostitution, no problem

I’ve been in Bogota, Colombia for the past week. The country needs new leadership badly They have everything a country could need to absolutely boom but aren’t booming. Way too much regulation. The simplest things are made complicated. If these guys implemented some better safety measures for the country overall and made a tax code that attracted expats, they’d be well on their way to booming. Communism and socialism have never made a successful society.

We will have all technology by 2030. All of it. Technology will reach its physical and functional limits. Video generation and video games won't get any better than reality. AI won't get any better than being able to correctly solve every problem and perfectly perform every task. It's not just that we won't be able to develop any more technology - we also won't need to. We will have AI and robots that can perform every task better than humans. Economic growth will be unlimited. Everything will be fantastic. There will be nothing more that we need or want.

Imagine being 65 right now in this world and waited to travel. You saved your whole life and did things the right way and now you can finally start to travel after retirement. And where the hell can you travel to? Europe is a rape-filled Islamic shithole. All the great cities you wanted to visit look like Pakistan. What a scam. Who wants to see a bunch of Moslem inbreds?

My boss's boss is like 42, never married, no kids. Earns $275-300K per year. Goes on a minimum of two international vacations a year w/ his girlfriend. 10+ days, all out. Eats the best food, stays in top notch accomodations. Excursions, tours, nicest beaches, etc. Great guy, I'm happy for him. But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness. What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could. Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe. Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach. Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act. Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts. Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides. Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra. ----------------- When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers. Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.

An advert in Denmark shows a White Danish couple hugging on the sofa An "expert" shows up out of nowhere and tells them not to date each other because it’s basically "inbreeding" for whites to have babies with other whites He says they should have kids with non-Whites instead

Earth’s atmosphere has crossed a historic threshold unseen for more than 3 million years. Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels have now surpassed 430 parts per million (ppm): a concentration last experienced during the Pliocene epoch, long before modern humans existed. This milestone was recorded at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, the world’s longest continuously operating CO₂ monitoring station. In early March, daily averages peaked at 430.60 ppm: a figure climate scientists have tracked with growing concern for decades. But what does crossing this threshold actually mean? Prior to the Industrial Revolution, atmospheric CO₂ levels remained stable around 280 ppm. Today, they stand more than 50% higher, largely due to the burning of fossil fuels, large-scale deforestation, and other industrial activities. This is far more than just a number: it’s a clear warning signal for the planet. Approximately 25% of the CO₂ we emit is absorbed by the oceans. As it dissolves, it forms carbonic acid, driving ocean acidification. This process is already weakening shell-forming marine organisms such as corals, plankton, and mollusks — the foundational species of ocean food webs. Researchers note that the current rate of ocean acidification is likely the fastest seen in at least 300 million years. Many climate models had projected that CO₂ concentrations would only approach this level under aggressive global mitigation efforts. Instead, we’ve reached it while emissions continue to rise. If current trends persist, atmospheric CO₂ could exceed 500 ppm by the end of the century, ushering in climate conditions not seen on Earth for tens of millions of years.

@elonmusk Elon I am a big fan but we already have ‘abundant cheap production’—it’s called $300/month labor in much of the world. It hasn’t created prosperity. Lower costs don’t equal shared abundance, they boost profits for owners. Why would AI distribute gains any differently?

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

@farzyness You’re right the transition will be brutal—but ‘abundance after’ is the weak assumption. We already have ultra-cheap labor (~$300/month) in much of the world, and no widespread prosperity. Lower costs = higher profits for owners. Why would AI be different?

Farzad 🇺🇸 🇮🇷@farzyness·
I'm telling you guys right now - the only way to "fix" the AI perception in the general public is very simple. You have to start with the fact that the core Abundance thesis - disease resolved, near-free energy, endlessly abundant robotic labor (digital and physical) doing things on your behalf is AT MINIMUM 5 years away. More likely 10 years away at any meaningful scale. As we march towards that future, the companies that are building it will begin accruing a significant % of the wealth, which a lot of it will come from disrupted legacy businesses that don't adapt quickly enough. For example, once a company solves the cure for cancer, what happens to all the companies who make a ton of money administering care for cancer? They go bye bye. All those people working for those companies? Jobless. Where does a lot of the money that would've gone to them go instead? To the company that cured cancer. Extrapolate this to basically every industry - digital first, then physical. As companies try to adapt, they will become hyper-efficient. Hyper-efficiency means extreme usage of AI. Extreme usage of AI means minimum number of humans in the loop. Minimum number of humans in the loop means mass layoffs for companies that have to shift from humans to AI. Will there also be a huge growth of new jobs/business because of AI? Absolutely. Is that number greater or equal to the number of layoffs? Absolutely not. Why? Because building your own thing is hard AF, is painful, and it requires a certain demeanor/life circumstance that allows you to take the risk to build the thing. The friction to do that is FAR GREATER than the friction for a business to layoff people in order to compete in an AI-native world. The flip side is that we're going to get MASSIVE deflation as businesses HAVE to adopt AI. There will be next-level competition on costs to deliver high quality products/services for the lowest possible cost. This is going to be incredible... for the people that have money to spend. For the people that DON'T have money to spend, or for the people who ARE NOT CONFIDENT that they can build a life in the AI age, or for the people who simply DO NOT want to build a life in the AI age because they don't want change, the coming time feels extremely scary and uncertain. This is most people. Most people are not risk takers. Most people want to live a life of comfort, happiness, and predictability. Most people don't want sudden change. This is not a good or bad thing. It's reality. People are afraid for good reason. So what's the easiest way to remove that fear? To give people a safety cushion - in the form of money - that tells them that they will not go hungry, lose their home, or end up worse off because of AI while we transition to abundance. There's literally no other way. You can sell people the hopes and dreams of AI all you want - which are 100% accurate and WILL HAPPEN. But people aren't dumb. They know the downside risk, and they know the transition can easily be bungled. Anyone who has interfaced with AI semi-seriously can already tell that it is a SUPERHUMAN tool. It is very easy to make the jump that says "if it's superhuman, then it can do the job that I can as well. And if that's the case, then what do I do?" There's no PR campaign that exists that will cause people to set aside their very RATIONAL fears and instead tell themselves that potentially losing their livelihood will be good for them long term. It very well may be, but try telling that to a country with 60%+ of the people living paycheck to paycheck. It doesn't work. So either deliver the abundance thesis ASAP - which is wholly dependent on businesses achieving their goals FASTER... or give people money to survive the inevitable chaotic transition. My 2 cents. Hope I'm wrong.

I'm stressed, friends. The more I'm touching grass outside of our bubble lately, the more I'm realizing we really have an issue with how people perceive AI. Something urgently needs to be done, more IRL events and outreach are essential.
