Opinionated learner, entrepreneur, and dreamer eager to improve the world. I'm most proud of my work on Merkle Semiconductors tbh. Woeigo made me depressed.

When faced with with a problem, just focus on finding a solution. "I'll either find a way or make one"

@PalmerLuckey The systemic dismantling of education and it's replacement with brainwashing indoctrination schools over the last century throughout the west is a tragedy I'm glad a tiny minority are waking up to at last. Gramsci's LMTTI's was wildly effective.

@PalmerLuckey @elonmusk This is an example of perhaps the most destructive pattern I've seen emerge in the West over the past 15 years or so. Starting with a narrative then cherry-picking facts to support it (or making them up) versus gathering facts to then generate a narrative.

Her two examples of "Silicon Valley" are people who don't even live there, me and @elonmusk. More importantly, both examples are fabrications. Elon was just explaining to financial analysts why robot hands are hard, and I never even mentioned OLPC - I have indeed read The Charisma Machine, and their CTO used to work for me. I was criticizing a much broader problem, the general idea that cheap computers+internet will lift the third world out of poverty. In fact, the only specific example I gave was smartphones+mobile internet! But because Elizabeth Lopatto's narrative is that "silicon valley billionaires" are clueless, she has to invent, without evidence, a completely synthetic narrative about what I said, what I read, and what I know.

@wdunlap That's mostly due to price inflation, without aggressive inflation, GDP is negative. Has been for years.

@wdunlap @r0ck3t23 0% on income, assets, and about 7% on transactions, so all government provided infrastructure could be upgraded. Of course this necessitates mitigating fraud.

Elon Musk just described the most sophisticated theft operation in American history. Not a heist. A system. Your tax dollars leave Washington. They enter a non-governmental organization. The government. With different letterhead. Musk: “Obviously if it’s a government-funded non-governmental organization, it’s just the government.” They cross a border. American law stops following them. They pass through three more entities in three more countries. They come home. Different pocket. Clean hands. Perfect crime. Musk: “The government can send money to an NGO that is then no longer governed by the laws of the United States.” Now run the math. Congressional salary. $200,000. Average net worth of a longtime member of Congress. North of $20 million. Musk: “There are a lot of strangely wealthy members of Congress. I just can’t connect the dots of how they got $20 million earning $200,000 a year. Nobody can explain that.” Nobody is supposed to. This machine ran untouched for decades for one reason. Human limitation. A forensic team cannot trace ten thousand wire transfers across fifty global jurisdictions at once. The corruption does not hide in darkness. It hides in volume. They built a labyrinth so deliberately complex that the sheer weight of it collapses every investigation before it starts. Paper buries paper. Bureaucracy absorbs inquiry. The entire architecture was engineered to exhaust you. Then artificial intelligence arrived. AI does not get tired. It cannot be bought. It does not lose the thread at wire transfer 4,000. You give it the entire global ledger. It maps every node, every transfer, every shell entity, every offshore NGO across every jurisdiction. Not in weeks. In hours. It finds the signal inside the noise. It flags the pattern. It traces a dollar from a D.C. appropriation to a Cayman shell to a congressional portfolio in the time it takes a human auditor to find his parking spot. The labyrinth was built to defeat human eyes. It is defenseless against a machine that reads the entire maze at once. This is why the establishment is not just annoyed by DOGE. They are terrified. Musk: “We’re going to try to figure it out and stop it.” He did not arrive in Washington to trim budgets. He arrived with supercomputing, AI audit systems, and a mandate to map the full financial architecture of the federal government. For the first time in history, the complexity that protected the corruption is the very thing that will expose it. Every shell entity is a signature. Every routing pattern is a fingerprint. Every congressman who walked in earning $200,000 and walked out worth $20 million is now a variable in an equation that will be solved. The swamp was never impenetrable. It was just too big for human hands. It was never built for this.

@elonmusk When she says equality, she doesn't mean equality, she wants equity, the same outcomes, regardless of the individuals choices.

@paulg Pretty crazy America is finding a way to combine all the bad things about democracy, with all the bad things about Capitalism, with some of moderately bad (only because the bad things are uber bad here) things about socialism, and continue to do better than most countries.

Benjamin Cowen@benjamincowen·
Just another day dozens of fake crypto gurus come after me because their shitcoins are dropping. Most of these guys took undisclosed paid promotions all cycle to shill shitcoins to their audience. The truth is that the crypto asset class was better before they joined. Maybe I'll turn bullish on crypto once they all capitulate and no one cares about their fake memecoin supercycle predictions anymore.

@beezthoughts @BobLoukas Woah there Don, only the wannabe crypto newbies hate on gold and silver. I mock Schiff a bit because I admire him and I know he's smart enough to understand crypto, but he has a conflict of interest, and thus refuses to be genuine about it. But I know no OGs who hate commodities.

@ZelenskyyUa @cafreeland Such blatant confirmation of bad actor control over Ukraine. The Ukranian people deserve a leader who cares about their best interests, not destroying their country and killing them for profit.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський
Today, I appointed Chrystia Freeland @cafreeland as an Advisor on Economic Development. Chrystia is highly skilled in these matters and has extensive experience in attracting investment and implementing economic transformations. Right now, Ukraine needs to strengthen its internal resilience – both for the sake of Ukraine’s recovery if diplomacy delivers results as swiftly as possible, and to reinforce our defense if, because of delays by our partners, it takes longer to bring this war to an end. I am grateful to everyone who is ready to support our state and our engagement with partners. Glory to Ukraine!

Ray Dalio@RayDalio·
For the most part, life gives you so many decisions to make and so many opportunities to recover from your mistakes that, if you handle them well, you can have a terrific life. Of course, sometimes there are major influences on the quality of our lives that come from things beyond our control—the circumstances we are born into, accidents and illnesses, and so forth—but for the most part even the worst circumstances can be made better with the right approach. #principleoftheday
