"1 China bro..." More like 50 "chinas"..

Jeff Bezos asked a room to imagine going back a hundred years. When almost everyone was a farmer. And telling those farmers that in 2018 there’d be a job called “massage therapist.” Bezos: “They would not have believed you.” Then a friend took it further. Bezos: “Forget massage therapist, there are dog psychiatrists.” He looked it up. Bezos: “Sure enough, you can easily hire a psychiatrist for your dog.” The room laughed. The point under the laughter wasn’t funny at all. Every time a major technology shift hits, we do the exact same thing. We count the jobs it will destroy. We never count the ones it will create. Because we can’t. They don’t have names yet. The fear is always specific. AI will replace accountants. AI will replace radiologists. AI will replace drivers. The fear has job titles and timelines and projections. The opportunity has none of those things. Because you can’t name what doesn’t exist yet. A farmer in 1920 could understand losing his job to a tractor. He could not understand gaining a career as a social media strategist. Not because he lacked intelligence. Because the entire chain of inventions between his world and that job hadn’t been built yet. Radio. Television. The internet. Smartphones. Social platforms. Creator economies. Every single link in that chain had to exist before “social media strategist” could even be a sentence. That’s where we are with AI right now. Everyone is staring at the tractor. Nobody can see the thing seven inventions away that doesn’t have a name yet. The fear is loud because it fits inside language we already have. The opportunity is silent because it doesn’t. Every technological revolution in history created more jobs than it destroyed. Every single one. Not because anyone planned it. Because human needs expand faster than machines can fill them. We didn’t need massage therapists when we were breaking our backs on farms. We needed them after machines freed our backs and stress replaced labor. The demand didn’t disappear. It migrated somewhere no one was looking. That is exactly what’s happening right now. The jobs AI creates won’t make sense to us yet. They’ll sound as absurd as “dog psychiatrist” would’ve sounded to a farmer in 1920. Until someone is running a $200 hourly practice with a six-month waitlist. The entire conversation right now is about what we’re about to lose. Nobody is talking about what we’re about to gain. Because the gains don’t have vocabulary yet. A hundred years from now, someone will stand on a stage and describe the jobs we couldn’t imagine today. And the audience will laugh. The same way we just did.

My "career" was only two years. That's all I signed up for. And when my two years were up, I got the fuck out... But, I greased the cables of the cranes that reloaded the Tomahawk cruise missiles. And we reloaded a bunch of them. We had a stash onboard I didn't even know about. They're hauling them out of the hull then stacking them up. Then put a rope around them saying you'll get shot if you try to touch them... We got a unit commendation because of the Boats & Cranes department.

Elon just endorsed it. Gad Saad dropped the hammer on Fox this morning. We now live in a world where: - Rape victims get less sympathy than their rapists - Homeowners get less than the squatters breaking in - American vets get less than illegal migrants - Repeat felons with 186 charges get 200 more “chances” because “society made them do it” This isn’t kindness. This is suicidal empathy. Universities spent decades teaching our judges, leaders, and elites that personal agency is a myth if you check the right oppression boxes. So criminals become victims, victims become bigots for complaining, and the whole system rots from the inside.

Can Texas officially legalize lane splitting please? 😅

Elon says something objectively good for once in his life, and this guy still appears lmao

This might sound pessimistic, but I’ve always wondered why no billionaire has single-handedly funded the halting or reversal of climate change purely for the narcissistic thrill of being able to say they literally saved humanity.

Why can Trump enjoy treatment that no other head of state has ever received—directly entering Zhongnanhai, the mysterious core of Chinese power? Just read my article from April 27 below and you’ll understand. The CCP has a special team dedicated to studying Trump’s psychology, and every arrangement is tailored to cater to his preferences. Trump clearly enjoys this special treatment as well. I just want to say: Never underestimate the evil of the CCP. There is no such thing as a free lunch. The United States has no need to extend the CCP’s lifespan.

As far as I know, Trump is 12 cm (4.7 inches) taller than Xi Jinping. Why does he look shorter when they sit down? This is how “confident” Xi Jinping is.

🫣This video is going viral on Chinese social media. Everyone is saying that while Xi Jinping was away, Trump seized the chance to sneak a peek at his “little notebook.” Rubio saw it and quickly turned his head, pretending not to notice. But I think Trump was just looking at the menu. What do you think?
