@agustinavcid Thank you for your work. Looking forward to seeing what you’ll do next!

Some personal news: After eight awesome years, I’m leaving the Ayn Rand Institute. ARI gave me so much and helped me become a radically better professional and intellectual than I would’ve been otherwise. I’m profoundly grateful for that. I will continue supporting the Institute as much as I can, including as a donor, and I remain a fan of their work. I’ll be taking on a new and exciting challenge soon (more on that later). For now, thank you to everyone at ARI who made these eight years so life-changing. I’ll always be rooting for you all. 💛

@donswriting Hi Don, check out David Allen's new book on GTD for Teams.

If you have any project management or marketing skills and would be interested in working with my team at the Ayn Rand Institute, drop me a DM.

@creatorbase @postindinst @SRI_Intl @BlaineMathieu @erickmott @ErickMott @creatorbase Check out this page that has relevant articles and video interviews (more coming) for the upcoming summit on Autonomous Orgs: post-industrial.institute/summit-2026-pe…

This Autonomous Organizations conversation hosted by @postindinst in Menlo Park @SRI_Intl with @odegard, @blainemathieu, and several other tech leaders looks interesting. @erickmott will follow-up with a LinkedIn post to consider for 2026 goals. #ai #autonomous luma.com/9gb7hdjh?tk=G8…

@tempelorg Will there be a Modula-2 edition? :-)

Find Any File (for macOS) 2.5.6 is now out. This celebrates 20 years of FAF. First version of FAF, made in REALbasic (Xojo), came out 2005, for free. But users kept asking to pay me for it, so I eventually offered it on the MAS when it opened 2010, which was quite a success.

My mother, @audodegard, passed away today in a hospital in Norway. She would have turned 86 in June. Her last tweet was “Don’t worry, be happy”, just eight days ago.

It seems as if supposedly smart people even can befall superstitious delusions; comforting as they may be, unscientific rationalizations do not mitigate the fear of death, or alleviate the pains our ignorance has brought to the world. We must forever strive to first doubt our own beliefs and then that of the others. It is only through rigorous application of the scientific method, that dependable, systematic kind of skepticism based on empirical evidence that tends to illuminate us in a world full of darkness, that we can arrive at the truth. We must not lose sight of a better world embraced by science; at least rosy lies and simplistic but ineffective explanations won't take us there, neither will they create a society that is capable of addressing the grand challenges of such a future. Therefore, we are forced to abandon our childhood and raise our awareness of a scientific Cosmos full of wonders to explore. #philosophy

@pmarca Never trust a man with a tiny dog.

Happy New Year 🥳

@MichaelAArouet Europe seems to prefer being a museum, it is not the workshop where the future is being built.

Merry Christmas!

@OPteemyst @elonmusk This is true. But progressives sadly did away w/ Limited Government in a 1936 Supreme Court decision (US v. Butler). Before that time, it was unconstitutional for Congress to spend money on anything not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution. After, the floodgates were open.

@elonmusk Very few Americans realize that, there is a threat to the republic

Very few Americans realize that, if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election. Far from being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it! Let me explain: if even 1 in 20 illegals become citizens per year, something that the Democrats are expediting as fast as humanly possible, that would be about 2 million new legal voters in 4 years. The voting margin in the swing states is often less than 20 thousand votes. That means if the “Democratic” Party succeeds, there will be no more swing states!! Moreover, the Biden/Harris administration has been flying “asylum seekers”, who are fast-tracked to citizenship, directly into swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Arizona. It is a surefire way to win every election. America then becomes a one-party state and Democracy is over. The only “elections” will be the Democratic Party primaries. This already happened in California many years ago, following the 1986 amnesty. The only thing holding California back from extreme socialism and suffocating government policies is that people can leave California and still remain in America. Once the whole country is controlled by one party, there will be no escape. Everywhere in America will be like the nightmare that is downtown San Francisco.

Excited to unveil a detailed agenda for our Nov. 13-14 Summit on #AI #Agents and Super-Productivity! post-industrial.institute/summit-2024-fa…

@JamesValli81018 Here is the correct link, it seems: gofundme.com/f/help-dr-peik…

Dr. Leonard Peikoff urgently needs our support to fight a legal battle that threatens his freedom and autonomy. If you can, please consider clicking the link below to donate or share it with others who might help. Thank you!

Today Sacramento showed that it is even worse than Brussels. The same people who banned individual contractors now want to regulate...math. From every vantage point - technically, morally, economically, legally, and militarily SB 1047 is a terrible law and a gift to China.

@dklineii This is good.

Excited to announce our Fall Post-Industrial Summit, which will focus on AI Agents and using AI to achieve Super-Productivity for individuals and organizations. postindustrialsummit.com

@audodegard Håper de har funnet ut av det nå :-)

Flyttet postkassa. Post ble lagt i samme morgen. Men Avisen Romerikes blad fant ikke kassa. Kan like godt si opp abonnementet!

This month we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Post-Industrial Institute and the 5th of our Post-Industrial Forum. Join us in Menlo Park on Tuesday to explore how decentralization and AI are leading to a Reinvention of the Enterprise. tinyurl.com/PII20th

@PhysicalAI @ipoupyrev @SRI_Intl We at @postindinst were excited to have you present your important work, and look forward to hopefully having you back in the future!

Archetype AI's @ipoupyrev joined a panel at @SRI_Intl on taking AI into the physical world, organized by Post Industrial Institute @Odegard and moderated by Lawrence Lee, Head of Refinery at SRI and former Xerox Parc Head of Strategy. Great speakers. Grateful for the opportunity!

AI in the Wild: Beyond the Cloud Join us on April 30 in Menlo Park to explore #AIAgents entering the physical world. What happens as we build large-scale, AI-based systems-of-systems that go Beyond the Cloud? post-industrial.institute/ai-in-the-wild… #postindustrial #GenerativeAI #IndustrialAI

@FT It's just more #DigitalProtectionism from the EU. Where Silicon Valley innovates, the EU regulates.
