Here's what happened to my account and my impressions after I got blocked by Nikita Bier for asking him why he considers my original content to be stolen. Yesterday, he removed a large account from monetization because it posts content from other platforms. He also made a list of multiple smaller accounts that post the same stolen content as if they were the original creators, but they are not. They all take content from other platforms. He is a vindictive guy. Don't mess with him. I don't know if my account is safe anymore...

On the Derek Chauvin injustice - the fact that sticks in my memory is that Chauvin was just 5’9’’ with a light build, while George Floyd was at least 6’4’’ and much heavier. I only learned that by watching the trial itself. Media kept that to itself.

You should read this just to understand how silly these tech guys are when it comes to politics. Balaji thinks that if shit hits the fan in the USA, tech people can save themselves by fleeing to…the internet.

Then just sell puts or use a call writing strategy, you guys make this too easy Being worried about the stock going down is not the same as saying you have to pay tax Two different things entirely If worried about price = use options. If worried about tax = borrow

That is *the* question. Short answer The Internet is not a place, but there will be Internet places. We can print out the internet, using million-person online social networks to crowdfund offline territory, building first voluntary startup societies and eventually network states. Long answer China is a place, so it’s obvious. But it’s closed to everyone but the Han Chinese. The Internet is the only thing with economic scale comparable to China, and it’s open to everyone everywhere. If China is Apple, vertically integrated and closed, the Internet is Android, messier and more open. But the Internet isn’t a place, right? True, but Christianity is not a place. Yet there are Christian places: churches, cathedrals, entire countries with the cross on the flag. The “software” of Christianity was able to convert enough people to materialize upon the “hardware” of the land. Ok, so generalize that. The Internet is not a place, but there are already many Internet places: startup offices, datacenters, tech conferences, entire countries with Bitcoin as the national currency. The software of the Internet could convert enough people to materialize upon the hardware of the land. Extending the analogy, just as there are many Christian denominations, there are many Internet social subnetworks. Whatever subcommunity you belong to can organize and print itself out in the physical world. And where would that be specifically? Like Bitcoin, everywhere and nowhere. The key insight is the idea of the fractal frontier. List all the special economic zones, ghost cities, tech parks, deindustrialized towns, and abandoned villages around the world. There’s a lot of surprisingly developed empty space out there, thanks in part to the global fertility crash. And thanks to robotics, solar, and modulars, we may be able to develop yet more completely empty space. Anyway, that’s the idea. We can reopen the frontier through the Internet. In the same way we have hundreds of tech companies and cryptocurrencies distributed globally, we can use the Internet to found new startup societies and network states. Yes, it’ll take a while to get the new startup societies to million person scale, but it won’t take forever. And everyone doesn’t need to move there to change legacy societies for the better. After all, only 4% of the world moved to the US, and that changed the world. Basically, all the billion person digital networks were only founded in the last 25 years or so. We can scale quickly once the formula works. And it will likely work all over the world, because the Internet does.

The primary rebuttals I have seen of these claims (e.g. Radley Balko) are very reliant on the idea that George Floyd did so much fentanyl so often that it's hard to say if what was in his system was guaranteed to kill him Hilarious defense regardless of its veracity

I knew his trial was corrupt and Chauvin was railroaded but I had no idea to what extent. Dr. Andrew Baker Chief, the medical examiner who conducted the autopsy on Floyd, was clearly coerced into changing the cause of death.

We stopped doing this when we looked up one day and there were more Germans than us. Nominally we used a lot of state suppression but the end result was the Germanizarion of America (& it's immediate decline).
