Understanding history means confronting uncomfortable truths, not rewriting them.

An underrated cheat code for health is to go outside. Have your meals outside. Get a workout outdoors. Conduct your meetings while walking outside. Obviously use shade when needed but you’ll feel much better when you spend more time outside than you would indoors.

@KonstantinKisin You're a fucking clown and a joke. Explain to me how the entire world knows Israel used Epstein to blackmail America and other European countries to further their agenda, and yet retards like you continue to try and convince us that doesn't happen? Did you know Epstein?

That's it. I'm done defending Israel. They've clearly invented some sort of machine to expose people who are retarded and don't understand anything about history, religion, war or what words mean. This is outrageous!

In 2022, I took a lot of shit from people who thought we were allies over opposing progressive insanity by arguing against their conspiratorial nonsense about Ukraine. Somehow, 4 years later some of those people are starting to wake up to reality. That's fantastic. I learned a lot from that time. I still remember a TV presenter/influencer calling me up when the war broke out. "I don't know anything about Ukraine," he said. He asked me why it was happening and what's driving it. I spent a good half an hour explaining. He nodded along and said "that makes so much sense". Then 3 days later, some people on his "team" suddenly decided that the cool kids all think Ukraine = bad. The guy who had called me immediately began repeating their nonsense on X with the confidence of a career Eastern European military analyst. A few months later, a British influencer *living in Britain* who knew nothing about the war started tweeting shit like "No more of our dollars for Ukraine, amIrite guys?" with a photo of her in a miniskirt. My point is, a lot of the things people say have nothing to do with an informed opinion. That's why the bullshit comes in waves. A small number of people start saying something and then a LOT of people realise that's where the addictive combination of money and attention is. So they smash that Ukraine button like a baboon in an experiment where he gets a grape every time. Then another small group of people start saying the next thing. And the baboons all run over to that button and start smashing it. It was a big wake-up call for me. Most of what you watch, read and hear is just people who are good at talking saying shit someone else told them that they think is in their interest to say. And I'm not even having a go at those people. Honestly, the fact that people are capable of changing their mind eventually is a very good thing.

True happiness doesn't need much, but when society strips away jobs and opportunity, frustration and anger replace hope for a better future.

Somewhere in Wales, for several years, a man with no degree in chemistry, no training in engineering, no laboratory, and nobody paying him to do so came home from his shift behind a bar and resumed work on an idea he'd had. An idea for a drinks can that could chill itself. James Vyse, the man in question, supposedly went through 500 failed iterations of his invention before he got it right. 500 makings-of-character. Imagine what it's like to fail at something so many times, and still remain unbowed, every sickening attempt costing him an evening he could have spent doing something else, something easier. What he has now is the first item of its kind in the world. There is water sealed inside the aluminium base and salts held in the walls; you press a button underneath, the two meet, and the reaction draws the heat out of the drink in a couple of minutes. No fridge, no ice, no power at all. It works in a field, on a train, at the top of a mountain, in a country with no cold chain to speak of. That last part is why Coca-Cola and Heineken came knocking to him in 2025. Refrigeration is one of the great hidden costs of the modern world - the humming cabinets in every shop on every high street, the chilled lorries, the power stations behind all of it - and a can that cools itself takes a bite out of that everywhere at once. Vyse raised about £300,000 from the public on top of his other backing, and his work is making its way towards shelves now. A world-first, come of no commission, no research council, no innovation agency, no £2 billion sector plan, no apparatus at all. Just a guy who, before he rose to acclaim as an innovator, was pulling pints, working alone, with his own money, in his own time. There is a vast reserve of people like this - brilliant, singularly-driven, possessed of nerve and vision in abundance - in Britain and there always has been, in sheds and garages and spare rooms and the backs of workshops, among people with no letters after their names and no institutional apparatus propping up their shoulder. This is the country of Frank Whittle, sketching a jet engine as a young officer nobody in the Air Ministry would listen to. Of Dyson and his five thousand prototypes. Of countless others, names un-householded. Talent is the most abundant thing this country has. It always has been. And they do it against the grain. A man like Vyse gets no capital worth the name until he has already proved the thing works, by which point he has basically paid for it himself. He meets a tax system that bills him for existing before he has sold a single unit. If he wants to manufacture here, he pays the highest industrial electricity price in the developed world. If he wants premises, the permission takes longer than the building. And if he comes through all of that, somebody abroad will eventually make him an offer he would be foolish to refuse, and the whole of it will leave with him, as it left with Skycutter, and with Arm, and with Rotork. Now picture the other version of this country, not how it is but how it could be and will be. Picture it going looking for its James Vyses rather than waiting to read about them - finding the gifted lad in the workshop at nineteen years old and putting real money behind him. Picture the capital being British, so that what they build compounds here. Picture a hundred of them. Then a thousand. Picture what a nation of 75 million+ with that reserve in it, properly funded and then left alone to work, would put into the world over twenty years. This country is rich in the one thing that actually matters, but we have neglected this seam of our talents. So this is in tribute to James Vyse, who did something remarkable while the institutions paid to do it were drafting strategies about doing it. And to everyone else out there somewhere in the middle of their own 500 attempts, unfunded, unnoticed, and getting there anyway.

People will call you an AI doomer and reel off a long list of how AI is and will be amazing for saying this but I don't think most people, including the ones working on AI, fully understand how dangerous the toys we are playing with are.
