100% This is why you gotta make noise when you lose the little freedoms As history shows repeatedly it's always a slippery slope But making that noise makes you very unpopular because people can't see further ahead of the current thing

If capitalism truly rewarded skill or intelligence, the richest people would be neurosurgeons, engineers, and scientists. If it rewarded talent, it would be artists, writers, and creators. If it rewarded hard work, it would be cleaners, laborers, and service workers. But it’s none of them.

Most people misunderstand Elon's ultimate goal He is trying to make our entire civilization win. To view it as anything less is just shortsighted Elon winning means humanity winning While most people are stuck in a zero-sum mentality, he operates with a "grow-the-pie" mindset You can see all the things he built till now and also his future plans He started working on things long before it was popular or considered possible: • Zip2 & payment systems • Electric vehicles & batteries • Pure vision self-driving • Humanoid robots • Starlink Internet • AI (OpenAI) • Neuralink • The Boring Company And the future is even bigger: 1TW compute clusters, space datacenters, lunar bases, mass drivers on the Moon, and making life multi-planetary... basically driving humanity toward becoming a star-faring civilization He consistently takes on the world’s hardest problems to push our civilization forward...

I’ve never seen a video of a man celebrating his divorce. Never seen a man set up ring light to announce his divorce and blame his wife. I’ve never seen a man talk about a ‘divorce glow-up.’ I’ve never seen a man celebrate putting his own happiness above his family. I’ve never seen a man proudly leave his marriage and family to ‘find himself.’ I rarely see men openly talk about stress related to mental load or emotional labor, especially as fathers. I’ve never seen a man leave a relationship because his partner didn’t keep him in his ‘masculine era.’ Why is it always women? Why is it always you? Why can’t you just move on silently like the man?

One of the biggest mental blocks of the left is their inability to think about value creation in any way other than manual labor. A good counter-example is the professional athlete, or pop-star. Who did Tayler Swift exploit to become a billionaire?

It’s not about the bear. It’s about why that feels safer.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. SCOTUS Justice Sam Alito asks ACLU lawyer "what is a man and a woman?" and they DON'T HAVE A DEFINITION. Alito's response is perfect. ALITO: What does it mean to be a man or woman? ACLU: We do not have a definition for the Court. ALITO: How can a court determine whether there's discrimination on the basis of s*x, without KNOWING what s*x means?! Omg, you can't make this crap up. Seriously.

Far more poverty has been alleviated by growth than by any RCT type aid or poverty alleviation program. Like orders of magnitude. Compare China to sub-Saharan Africa.

Sex is only sex when consent is freely given, informed, and revocable at any time. Everything else is rape. Parliament is once again pushing for an EU-wide definition of rape centred on the absence of consent.

There hasn’t been a single good argument against eating with your hands other than “it looks weird” or “it’s the wrong type of food to eat with your hands”
