@LordIxabert We are sub-creators under God. He is king and the geniuses and artist are the aristocrats/angels maybe

Only the Absolute is absolutely anything. What humans have is relative creativity, not absolute creativity; relative ownership, not absolute ownership; relative existence, relative knowledge, & so on. Only the Absolute possesses any quality in its final & perfect sense.
So unless you are prepared to speak exclusively of the Absolute itself, without making so much as a passing reference to the existence of anything else, then you must accept the ordinary language of relative things without perpetually demanding the impossible standard of absolute meaning.

@LordIxabert Well, creativity, means something like creation, and if we are not talking about creation from nothing, ex nihilo, then all we have is the mutation of pre-existing materials.

I was on Piers Morgan Uncensored this week, debating Kevin O'Leary on everything from Iran to wealth taxes to AI.
But the moment that stuck with me was China.
For years people have challenged me to name a single country actually doing what I argue for.
I never could, but now I can.
China has pulled more people out of poverty than any nation in history, and it's out-building America while it does it. Public affluence and private affluence. Turns out the combination works.
Kevin's terrified of his kids "living under Chinese rule." Meanwhile I've walked those cities, and I'm not the one stepping over someone sleeping rough every five metres.
Watch the full thing and tell me who won, link in the comments.

@PatrickCop74433 @davesmith1967x @johannesmkx Genetically and culturally, these northern English families were nearly identical to the Lowland Scots they lived alongside.
English
@PatrickCop74433 @davesmith1967x @johannesmkx The vast majority of the English who joined this migration didnt come from southern cities like London. Instead, they came from the northern border counties—primarily Northumberland, Cumberland, Westmorland, Lancashire, and Yorkshire.

African-American culture isn't even African. It's what they copied from lower-class White people from Northern England. It's Celtic culture.
English
@davesmith1967x @PatrickCop74433 @johannesmkx its correct, the blacks adopted Celtic culture from the "low class" white people inhabiting the south. Ulster, Irish-Scots. Check out Black Rednecks and White Liberals, written by Thomas Sowell.
English
@PatrickCop74433 @frozenmusic @johannesmkx The idea that American blacks behave the way they do because of Celtic influence us just so dumb I had to unfollow the guy.

@Logo_Daedalus we don't live in a normal (bell curve) world, we live under a power law.

The whole streamer economy is a fascinating instance of the real distribution of rents— there are many going into debt, destroying their lives, pursuing a position of rent extraction. 6.5 million people are streaming, only about 1000 are rich, most are poorer than a McDonalds regional manager.
English
Ludwig’s class at streamer university on the Pareto distribution of streaming derived rents— “how to get lucky”— that’s how it works in America, you roll the dice

Who are some of the artists you'd turn to, in any medium, to commission custom works, if you had the wealth for it? Or what kinds of projects would you want, even if you don't know the artist?? This is an exercise to start thinking like a patron, and to bring attention to artists

Agree, 100% we shouldn’t be tying ourselves in knots. Even bigger issue is the brilliant talent we are scaring away from other countries with our immigration policies for great talent.

This is concerning. For the first time, a Chinese model Kimi K3 has taken #1 on the Frontend Code Arena and is scoring at or near the frontier on other benchmarks. Meanwhile America is tying itself in knots: politicians and bureaucrats are banning new data centers, piling on state regulations, and pushing for new federal agencies to pre-approve frontier models. This is how you lose the AI race. The rest of the world won’t play by our rules if we bog ourselves down. Permissionless innovation is how America won the internet and became the technological envy of the world. We can do it again with AI -- while addressing risks in a targeted way -- or we’ll watch our lead evaporate.

Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness is good, classical Larry David comedy...but of course I won't watch it because of the involvement of the Obamas and a few jokes at Trump's expense. It is a Jewish woke plot to subvert traditional masculinity and nationalism, or something

Some things just belong together.
We just released The Front Porch Bundle, a limited discounted pairing of our Humming Meadow tote and cotton blanket.
The perfect gift or just a treat for yourself, but we are only packing ten of these, and once they're gone, they're gone. 🐝
