@KirkLubimov Straight from Hayek's road to serfdom. If you want big gov b/c you don't like the sociopaths running big corporations, just wait until you centralize the power into a single source (gov), and discover who gravitates there and ends up on top.

This is the best part from Pierre Poilievre appearance on the Diary of a CEO podcast; "Those who push a socialist ideology have a gross contradiction in their view of human nature. They say that human beings are wretched, self-interested, greedy when they’re in the private voluntary economy, but they’re angels when they’re in the governmental economy. They argue that the government should just control everything because then we have all these angels that will decide for us." 🎯

I always thought the dynamic of Japanese autism and discipline in contrast with American schizophrenia and exuberance is such an interesting juxtaposition. Just imagine Japan's focus on ritualized excellence and the refusal to half-ass anything fused with American schizomaxxing with occasional retardation and manic bursts of invention. The world is your oyster

Mientras vivíamos el peak del metal previo a la hispanchización de la música comercial por culpa del reguetón, echabas diesel a 0,70 el litro, llenabas el carro del Mercadona por 30€ y cualquier joven podía aspirar a comprarse un piso y formar una familia Nos lo han robado todo

How physically active are you? I’ve exerted myself many times over the years in many different forms. Long distance running, MMA, weightlifting. Just overall pushing my body to its limits consistently. What impresses me and stands out about her performance is the level of refinement and sophistication she displays. Everything has a place and a purpose. All of her movements are efficient yet beautiful. And she ties it all together under a carefree, feminine, joyous poise that we’re sorely lacking in mainstream culture. There’s a level of purity and authenticity to her performance that can’t be faked, only embodied. Her message is “You can be excellent and have fun. Be joyous and free.” Not the typical “You have to eat blood, sweat, sh*t, p*ss, and tears for years if you want to be a fraction as dedicated as me.” She throws all of that in their face with her effortless style. Anyone can suffer. But it takes someone truly courageous and free to say “I’ll find a way to enjoy the strain. Not only enjoy it but have fun doing it. Be happy, joyous, and free.” And she did. That’s what makes her performance so powerful. She didn’t let other people false programming break her spirit. She found a way to get her fighting spirit back. She didn’t settle for a life full of suffering like most people do. And she was elegant and graceful doing it. That’s why this performance has people speaking imo. Even if they can’t put their finger on why, this is it. Every other performance I’ve seen is barely a blip on the radar in comparison. The mentality she displayed in physical form can be embodied in anything you do. Suffering is optional. Suffering is easy. But can you challenge yourself to enjoy everything you do? To have fun with it and still be great?

It annoys me that so many people are under the impression that this guy, Steven Bradbury, is some subpar goober who lucked his way into gold. That could not be further from the truth. This is one of the most satisfying victories in the history of the Olympics if you know the full backstory. This medal final was during his fourth Olympics, in Salt Lake City in 2002. Earlier in his career, he was among the best athletes in the world in this specific event, the 1000 meter short-track men's speed skate. But despite his talent, he just had some of the shittiest luck in the sport. We're talking a decade of shit luck. In the '94 Winter Olympics, he was considered the odds-on favorite to take gold, but he fell in his heat after getting illegally pushed by an opponent (who was later disqualified). He didn't get a re-do. That was it. He got shoved by some asshole, and his Olympics was over. Then in the '98 Winter Olympics, he was a favorite to at least medal in the same event but got caught up in a collision that wasn't his fault and failed to advance. In 1994, he got his thigh sliced open by a competitor's skate during a race, which required 111 stitches and 18 months of recovery time. In 2000, he broke his neck during training because a skater in front of him fell and tripped him up. That required a bunch of screws and plates being inserted into his skull and back and chest. And doctors told him that he should stop skating. But he didn't wanna give up. It meant too much to him. So, there he was in Salt Lake City in 2002, past his prime, a walking erector set, going up against opponents who were faster and younger and in their prime. He manages to win his heat and advance to the quarterfinal but then has the shit luck (yet again) of having to go up against the best two athletes in the quarterfinal and only the top two advance. He finishes third and thinks: "Damn, I gave it my best shot." But then, the second place finisher is disqualified, so Bradbury gets to advance to the semifinal. Now, at this point, he's thinking: Well, shit, I'm not as fast as these younger guys, and I got a bad habit of getting taken out by crashes that aren't my fault. So, he consults with the Australian national coach, Ann Zhang, and they decide that he should hang back from the pack and hope the pack crashes. That is a perfectly valid strategy. If you crash, you lose, but speed skaters risk crashing to gain an advantage in order to win. It may not feel exciting, but it is a valid strategy and just as risky: avoid crashes entirely and hope that pays off. It paid off in the semifinal: the pack, including the defending Olympic champion, jostled too much and crashed. Bradbury wins and advances. So, he's improbably in the final and takes the same approach, and it works: the entire pack jostles too much and crashes, and Bradbury's risk of hanging back pays off. This victory was not some un-athletic schlub lucking his way into gold. It was a journeyman athlete who never gave up and played smart after a career of shitty luck and finally got his due after it being snatched away from him so many times. Hands down, one of my favorite Olympics stories.

There's a much more than remote likelihood that we'll see tax rates 1950s style as AI begins to supercharge production and the national debt becomes as large as World War II relative to GDP Tale income now, tax policy is the great equalizer and soon politicians will have no choice but to use it

Nobody's talking about how 91% marginal tax rates might have made the 1950s the golden age for American perceived income equality during the time Auto workers were the tech workers of the time

If you invented a machine that: - Runs on grass - Produces high-quality protein - Fertilises soil while operating - Builds topsoil - Requires zero electricity - Self-replicates - Provides 100+ byproducts (leather, tallow, gelatin, etc.) You'd win every environmental award. We call it a cow and want to ban it. Genius.

@KobeissiLetter Insane = thinking that $MSTR, one of the largest holders of bitcoin, could get the current market price for its bitcoin holdings if it needed to liquidate to pay off its debt. They would crater the price. It SHOULD trade at a big discount to NAV.

This is absolutely insane: MicroStrategy's market cap is now worth $10 billion LESS than their Bitcoin holdings. MicroStrategy, $MSTR, is down -12% today and -57% since October 6th. This puts the company's market cap at $45 billion. Meanwhile, MicroStrategy holds 650,000 Bitcoin worth $55 billion. In other words, MicroStrategy's market cap is now trading $10 billion BELOW the value of their Bitcoin holdings. Even if you subtract MicroStrategy's current debt pile of $8.2 billion from their current Bitcoin holdings, they still hold $46.8 billion worth of Bitcoin on a NET basis. MicroStrategy's NET Bitcoin holdings are still $1.8 billion ABOVE their current market cap, not including any cash on their balance sheet. Can Saylor keep buying?
