Could the U.S. run of out weapons in wartime? It's a question that most civilians - living outside of the Silicon Valley defense compact - haven't yet confronted, until now. I spoke with the founders of @Castelion — who, amid a hot war with Iran and a rising China, are building the weapons missing from our arsenal, and reshoring America's manufacturing might along the way.

@AaronBMacLean @schoolofwarpod 🔥🔥🔥

Am going to have to start a @schoolofwarpod internship program to monitor all of these situations.

Ross Douthat and Stephen Pinker debate God for @TheFP, moderated by the brilliant @whignewtons. Nowhere I’d rather be. Though I hear there’s some news?

@juliasteinberg America loves you

Are we still capable of talking to each other? @CBSNews and @TheFP think so. Introducing: Things That Matter. Debates. Town halls. Live audiences. Hard questions. Debuting in 2026. Brought to you by @BankofAmerica.

@SulkinMaya @TheFP Genesis coded

Turns out you can build things with English, too. Read my latest in @TheFP on Silicon Valley's hiring spree for writers: thefp.com/p/man-over-mac…

@TenreiroDaniel Thank you, sir!

@seantfischer Very nicely done Sean

I spoke with Peter Thiel about socialism, Mamdani, a broken generational compact, and revolution. Read below.

@chamath Spoke to @peterthiel about this email this week. "I really don’t like the socialism of Mamdani, but I’m not surprised. Capitalism is not working for a lot of people in New York City. It’s not working for young people." thefp.com/p/peter-thiel-…

Here is Peter Thiel’s email to Zuck and Andreessen in Jan-2020 predicting socialism. Tl;dr too much student debt and lack of affordable housing keeps young people with negative capital for too long. And without a stake in the capitalist system, they will turn against it.

"If you proletarianize the young people, you shouldn’t be surprised if they eventually become communist." Read my conversation with @peterthiel below.

Peter Thiel: If you graduated in 1970 with no student debt, compare that to the millennial experience: too many people go to college, they don’t learn anything, and they end up with incredibly burdensome debt. Student debt is a version of this generational conflict that I’ve talked about for a long time. The rupture of the generational compact isn’t limited to student debt, either. I think you can reduce 80 percent of culture wars to questions of economics—like a libertarian or a Marxist would—and then you can reduce maybe 80 percent of economic questions to questions of real estate. It’s extremely difficult these days for young people to become homeowners. If you have extremely strict zoning laws and restrictions on building more housing, it’s good for the boomers, whose properties keep going up in value, and terrible for the millennials. If you proletarianize the young people, you shouldn’t be surprised if they eventually become communist.”

“The U.S. is where many of the world’s most sophisticated chips are designed, by engineers at Nvidia and Apple and Qualcomm. But we are almost totally dependent on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company to make them,” writes @SeanTFischer.

James Proud claims he has found a way to make semiconductors faster and more cheaply in the U.S. by 2028. Is this British born savant the answer to America's chip conundrum? Read below ...

Highly recommend hiring @seantfischer for all your beefy, chiseled bodyguard needs.
