OMG: Pete Hegseth just suggested that America has plans to INVADE Greenland, Canada, and Cuba.
It's happening!

@BenShindel You're in the right, and it is a failure of the imagination of people.

Neuroticism as measured in the Big Five Personality Traits. EQ is fake.

@Hitchslap1 if EQ is fake, then what's the best measure of one's ability to regulate one's emotions?

BREAKING: A Norwegian company has just raised $40m to revolutionise chipmaking and take on ASML!
To make chips manufacturers use a process called lithography which uses light to draw complex circuits that form the foundation of advanced artificial intelligence chips.
Lace Lithography has developed a new approach that uses a helium atom beam.
The cofounders, Bodil Holst and Adrià Salvador Palau, have spent their careers working across atomic beam physics, instrumentation engineering, and applied AI.
Today the company has announced a $40m Series A led by Atomico (Sasha Vidiborskiy), with participation from M12 (Michael Stewart), Linse Capital, SETT, and Nysnø.
The startup has developed prototypes with the aim of having a pilot up and running by 2029.
VERY COOL - congrats!

@TheCinesthetic Absolutely stunning and sublime piece of generational level improvisation. Decades later, we are still shaking our heads.

Val Kilmer in Top Gun (1986) improvised the line ‘bullsh!t’ when Tom Cruise said he was flying inverted. The laughter that follows is completely real.

@Democraticus13 @Ross__Hendricks 😅 "No, I don't buy your fancy how stocks are actually priced, I know better" - Yours Respectfully, Mr. Dunning Kruger
English
@Ross__Hendricks Don’t buy it - I think more likely buyers are waiting for certainty - the note from the CEO of United Airlines who stated they were clearly expecting $175 oil and they weren’t expecting oil to get back down to $100 until the end of 2027 is the type of clarity they’re looking for
English
No, the reason energy stocks are lagging spot prices is because they're two entirely different things.
Equities are priced on the expected future value of cash flows. Spot prices don't carry a one-for-one correlation with how much energy companies are expected to earn over the next 10+ years.
What the market is most likely pricing in is a future collapse in energy prices, after the current price spike sends the global economy into recession.
Whether that's the right assumption is the key question one needs to answer.

Oil is up 55% in three weeks. Chevron $CVX is up 8% and Exxon $XOM is up 4.7% in the same time. Do you know why? Almost no institutions and large buyers are buying in. Which could set up for the biggest commodity rug-pull in history for all of the Mom and Pop investors being convinced by media to buy into this.

@eurofounder I want to show X followers my wife has big breasts - I've an idea, it's so subtle that no one will realise 😆

Perfect Saturday bike trip with my wife
30km along the river, train home, total cost = €3.50
In America this would require driving 3 hours, $25 parking, and a tip to a homeless guy to not touch your car
I love living in Europe

@JDHaltigan @SwipeWright Bret: High functioning autism (very high pattern recognition) + paranoia + trauma (evergreen) + fame-deranged brain. Toxic mix.

Just so people are aware, this is what the guy Bret wants us to carefully consider regarding Charlie Kirk posted a week ago.

People should read this and consider the implications.

I was fired from WhatsApp this morning. I was responsible for adding the 'Delete for me' button — so when you scramble to delete a picture you sent to the wrong group, you end up making sure everyone else gets to enjoy it forever

@pmarca After listening to Marc on podcasts - a bulldozer with no brakes - I had already introspected that Marc would side with this view. The head shape, nature's irony

TLDR There is no inner self, you're chasing an imaginary concept, the end.

If you want the scientific demolition of introspection, this is the book: amazon.com/Mind-Flat-Rema…
English
@filipcodes @g_shullenberger @pmarca You're not getting it, and introspection has nothing to do with introversion or extroversion (Jung 201). Are you really suggesting Napoleon read a book 7 times about suicide because it was a banger and wasn't able to introspect any of it?
English
@g_shullenberger @pmarca it's not either/or. there's both extroversion and introversion in everyone (jung 101). it's about relative structure and primacy. napoleon's relationship to werther was structurally distinct from werther's relationship to werther.

It is 100% true that great men and women of the past were not sitting around moaning about their feelings. I regret nothing.

@PicaPaudiablo @nntaleb Maybe you could count the times Taleb opines on Harris clips and the amount he references Sam's critique of him. Wounded narcissist - rent free. 🤡

@Matt_Finish__ @nntaleb If you're going to use that dumb cliche at have some tiny bit of plausibility to it.

On a bullshit scale of 0-10, where 0 is maximally rigorous and 10 is maximally bullshitter, Sam Harris stands close to 10.

We now have militant new atheists like Sam Harris citing the Old Testament to tell Christians like Tucker Carlson to love Israel.

@BretWeinstein I'll tell it to you straight - spectrumy, high pattern sensing individuals with paranoia end up like you. You're smart, know it and think your smarts apply to aspects of society that aren't actually in your wheelhouse at all. And it's fucking annoying that your righteous about it
English
Vicious!
Actually, being decent and brave (managing your fears) has brought me an amazing crop of decent and brave friends. So many, in fact, that I feel guilty because I can’t tend to all those friendships properly.
It’s a valuable lesson you can’t buy at any price.
Saul Sadka@Saul_Sadka
This is Bret Weinstein's circle now—his only friends. He deserves them. He will go back to irrelevance and 10,000 views per video unless he is talking about how Netanyahu and the neocons killed Charlie Kirk. And that will be his legacy. He joins a very exclusive club of Jews who have trafficked in their own heritage to promulgate and add credence to Jewish conspiracy propaganda for personal gain. Infamy is his lot now. The most twisted part is how he pretends he is doing this at great personal cost, darkly implying that “they” might come after his life, when the truth is the exact inverse: he is doing it for personal enrichment, to pump up the metrics on his brain-rot podcast.
English
I won’t be intimidated. That should be obvious from my history. But let’s be clear about it: Most of those publicly beating their chests aren’t trying to intimidate me. They’re trying to intimidate you.
English
@BretWeinstein It's not all woke playbook. You're delusional and sprouting nonsense on a large platform to fellow paranoid people. You're now a net-negative to society.
English
Again, a discussion we MUST have. Pushback is good. I welcome it. What I want is a full airing of all the evidence and unflinching exploration of all hypotheses. I WANT my fears dispelled. What I get is punishment and intimidation—the woke playbook. Thank you for resisting it.

What we need is pragmatism. Bret, I have no issue with questioning anything Israel but you’re doing “the west” a disfavor by not using this moment in time more wisely. Your “questioning” is fine but your timing feels misguided. In all of your travels have you missed what is happening to Europe? Who are the most insidious perpetrators and destroyers of our western values? I think any government is capable of committing atrocities against its own people to attain a goal. After Covid there should be no doubt. So I’m going to entertain the possibility that October 7 was darker in origin than meets the eye and there certainly are valid questions unanswered. I’m going to entertain that Charlie Kirk’s killer is still on the loose protected by “those people”. Be that as it may, I still rather sit alone in a train compartment in Europe with 5 Hasidic Jews than 5 Muslim youths. And I know for sure that if I was holding up a board that read “all Hasidic Jews smell like bad cheese” I’d still reach my destination unharmed. The “west” is getting erased in front of our eyes and they haven’t needed a nuclear weapon to succeed. Why is it the Gulf states understand the rot their fundamentalists sow worldwide but not our most “educated elites”? Wake up!

@BretWeinstein You're a delusional buffoon - no one important cares about your shitty conspiracy platform. Seek psychiatric help and good luck on your recovery.

If something were to happen to me, this tweet would be worth returning to. I don't like the risks, but they must be faced. Charlie deserves justice, and we need to understand what is happening to our Republic. Good luck to us all.

On June 18th, I had a text exchange with Charlie Kirk. He said he was spending two full days at the White House trying to persuade President Trump not to initiate a war with Iran.
Given that Charlie was close with the President and that he represented a large constituency essential to Trump, and given that many proponents of the war with Iran saw a U.S. attack as urgently necessary to the survival of Israel, it is reasonable to wonder if his refusal to back down from his steadfast opposition somehow resulted in his murder.
A good investigation could have settled the matter. What we got only increases the reason for concern.
Asking this question may be unforgivable, but it is in no way unreasonable. Charlie was in a strong position to keep us from doing what we have now done, and the timing of his death removed him from the equation and likely changed the course of history--as Charlie himself worried it might.

Sam Harris is a prime example of how obtaining a PhD doesn't prove you're intelligent.
