I'm sorry you feel that way, but conversely I welcome you to visit Singapore or Bangalore. Your TikTok videos are entertaining, you're a smart guy, you're underemployed relative to your talents, and I genuinely wish you only the best. On the substance: (a) I've backed countless tools for zero-knowledge privacy, anti-surveillance, and Internet freedom, which is obviously direct opposed to the Communist Party's ideology. However, I grudgingly respect their competence because I am a realist. (b) The degree to which one's success is attributable to a country's platform is hard to separate out. Obama said to conservatives: "you didn't build that, someone else made that happen." That is certainly one view, that 100% of success was due to the country platform, and zero to the individual. (c) Another view, however, is that we should run the experiment. As the original post noted, tech was able to decentralize out of Europe. Tech is clearly also successful outside California, as per Elon and others in Texas and Florida. Will it be successful outside of America? I think it will be, I think it already is, and I think it will unfortunately have to be...given the growing anti-tech and anti-trade backlash. (d) Next, most of the world economy is now in Asia. I do think it's worth traveling to Asia to calibrate, to simply see that much of the former "third world" really isn't, that there are trade partners here, and that not everyone is about to invade each other once the US military pulls out. There is greater social cohesion in Asia broadly, of the kind 1950s America once had, and that I hope you can attain again. (e) Finally, even if the US government fails, even if the polarization proves too much, even if the $175T in debt takes down a once-amazing country, the Internet will be there. It was built to outlast a nuclear attack, it reflects the best of American values — free trade, free markets, free speech, free exchange of ideas — and I believe we can rebuild from it, just as Europe rebuilt from Christianity after Rome.

Rep. Thomas Massie on the White House ballroom being a waste of money: “The ballroom is such an egregious waste of money. We were told it would be funded with private money initially.”

The green card backlog is one of the most brutal immigration failures in America today. Millions trapped. Decades long waits. Lives kept in limbo. And almost nobody in the administration wants to seriously talk about it.

It never made sense to me why people would want to look like bodybuilders, their physiques are dysfunctional Most of them can not do a regular pull up, and the whole goal of being as big as possible as a regular dude made no sense You WASTE so much time in the gym, 3h per day to get those results + the gear My goal has always been to supplement my life with working out, make my life better because I workout and play sports... Not make working out my whole life

playing and freaking out in my little dust bowl like a boss

Tbh I don’t exclusively go on dates with doctors, lawyers, engineers SOLELY because of their money. It’s also because they can keep up with me intellectually. The last time I accepted a date based on looks alone (6’2, athletic build, and handsome mid 20s) I got the ick because he didn’t know rabies was a mammalian disease. 🤣

look at the size of this guy

Congratulations to non-enhanced athlete, Hunter Armstrong, on taking 1st in the Men's 50m Backstroke.

The new Chair of the Libertarian National Committee is a covid pushing freak that thinks words are violence and wants to use the Libertarian Party to boost a marxist agenda. In addition to pushing the covid hysteria, he's a convicted felon and who has also produced multiple torture porn films. It's sad that the LP won't be a viable vehicle for libertarianism during his term. Libertarians deserve better. The Party belongs to those who show up. I'll see you in 2028... with a purpose. ✌️
