I've lost track of the times podcasters and others have taken shots at me. I almost always ignore. 90% plus is focusing on Senators like John Curtis, who probably stole the Utah election. Total distraction to spend hours a week reacting to each other. It's slave behavior.

@megynkelly I'm a huge advocate of hitting back, and Trump's love letter last night showed your hits landed. Issue is when it becomes a recursion of reactions to reactions of personalities. John Curtis and other saboteurs love the drama. Keeps attention off of them and their election theft.

This is just a flatly stupid thing to say
David Senra@davidsenra
Great men of history had little to no introspection. The personality that builds empires is not the same personality that sits around quietly questioning itself. @pmarca and I discuss what we both noticed but no one talks about: David: You don't have any levels of introspection? Marc: Yes, zero. As little as possible. David: Why? Marc: Move forward. Go! I found people who dwell in the past get stuck in the past. It's a real problem and it's a problem at work and it's a problem at home. David: So I've read 400 biographies of history’s greatest entrepreneurs and someone asked me what the most surprising thing I’ve learned from this was [and I answered] they have little or zero introspection. Sam Walton didn't wake up thinking about his internal self. He just woke up and was like: I like building Walmart. I'm going to keep building Walmart. I'm going to make more Walmarts. And he just kept doing it over and over again. Marc: If you go back 400 years ago it never would've occurred to anybody to be introspective. All of the modern conceptions around introspection and therapy, and all the things that kind of result from that are, a kind of a manufacture of the 1910s, 1920s. Great men of history didn't sit around doing this stuff. The individual runs and does all these things and builds things and builds empires and builds companies and builds technology. And then this kind of this kind of guilt based whammy kind of showed up from Europe. A lot of it from Vienna in 1910, 1920s, Freud and all that entire movement. And kind of turned all that inward and basically said, okay, now we need to basically second guess the individual. We need to criticize the individual. The individual needs to self criticize. The individual needs to feel guilt, needs to look backwards, needs to dwell in the past. It never resonated with me.

@RadioFreeTom It should be psychopathic businessmen have no-introspection.
Are these great men?
They seem like carpetbaggers to me.

@JoeSkovgar84371 @IlyaSomin How many Americans can ICE kill on their mission for border security?
English
This is an outrage - and yet more reason to abolish ICE: thehill.com/opinion/immigr…
#AfghanEvac@afghanevac
Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal’s family has released a statement following his death less than 24 hours after entering ICE custody. He was a husband, a father of six, and an Afghan wartime ally who worked alongside U.S. Special Forces. Full statement below.

@Entengummitiger @RichardHanania Succumbing to bitterness is the biggest potential pitfall in old age.

@gar18784 @RichardHanania If you get bitter in old age, you failed miserably at life.

Paul Ehrlich is now dead. It's very rare that you have an intellectual who so clearly would've been a Mao or Hitler if he had the chance. Ehrlich hated humanity, and as reality proved him wrong again and again, he doubled down, proving this was no mere intellectual error. Remember him only as an example of what not to do as a public intellectual, and as a warning not to trust his intellectual descendants.

@clairlemon Miller was always crazy. He's just getting worse.
His affect is all messed up.
Red Flag!

This is completely insane -- I cannot believe people are RT'ing this as if it has any evidentiary merit whatsoever.
Cultures that execute people have *more* violence & criminality, not less!

Will Tanner@Will_Tanner_1
Stephen Miller is 100% right here The high culture that made the West so superior to everywhere else on Earth only came because Western Europe executed ~1% of each generation for centuries In weeding the crime gene out of the population through centuries of capital punishment for everything from larceny to murder, Western Europe made itself a paradise, and blossomed into the greatest high civilization the world has ever seen over the 18th and 19th centuries So, as he said, "The West only achieved the place that it did in human history because it spent previous centuries eradicating the criminal elements within it’s territories. The West that we came to know that had the great music and architecture and science and the most powerful economy had spent centuries previous to that establishing order first." That is 100% true. High civilization requires order, and requires the pruning of the tree of civilization to achieve it

@RonFilipkowski Do you think Grassley ever tries to talk to trump personally?
English
Grassley admits Trump raised food prices with his tariffs.
English
@JustinTinsley He thought it money could keep him safe. It's what all the rich guys think.

Rogan: Nothing seems stable. Everywhere in the world seems fucked right now. In all my years, this seems the most unstable, globally.

@TimMurtaugh Except he's not doing that. This is classic framing effect's affect on the framer.

It’s insane that there’s a U.S. senator who gives public relations cover to Iran all day, every day.
It’s actively un-American and detrimental, which is his intent.
I don’t know how other Democrats tolerate this dangerous idiot, who stains them all with his treasonous rants.
Chris Murphy 🟧@ChrisMurphyCT
It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. 1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.
English
@Bookhermit1 @drterrysimpson Some people have to put more energy toward controlling weight than others.
The person who takes little energy to do so is not the same as the person for whom it has a high cost.
For different people, losing weight is a different task.
English
The people who call obesity “laziness” often mistake genetic luck for moral superiority.
GLP-1 therapies simply correct the biology of appetite they were lucky enough to inherit.
Their metabolism isn’t the problem — their lack of empathy is.

@RichardHanania Wasn't he the naked tickle party guy?
That is red flag

IDF Chief of Staff says stopping the war now would be a mistake. He says the Israeli military has a war plan that goes up to Passover (early April), and there are still thousands of targets to hit

@BigP4P4Smurf @MariaKoklanaris @RadioFreeTom @mckaycoppins What do you think of the fentanyl addicts having to show up a clinic to get a shot of a safe opiate in the morning and then coming back and getting a shot at 5:00 PM?
You would eliminate opioid deaths and of lot of these addict would be able to hold jobs.
English
@MariaKoklanaris @RadioFreeTom @mckaycoppins Every vice should be like this. Don't pretend it can be eliminated, but don't just give up and legalize it. Prostitution, drinking, drugs, gambling, it applies to all of them

"Go to Las Vegas with @mckaycoppins," the bosses told me. "Okay, then" I said.

@Stemulite23 @drterrysimpson When I was young the cost was lower and I had more energy to throw at the task. So I could use grit to get really lean. At 65 the cost is higher and I have less energy to throw at the task. I'm not fat but it's way harder to maintain my weight.
English
@Stemulite23 @drterrysimpson There is a energy cost to losing weight.
This varies.
Then there is the amount of energy the person can put toward paying that cost.
Some people have a high cost but they have high energy.
Some have lower cost so they have enough energy.
One size does not fit all.

The confidence with which strangers on the internet declare entire fields of medicine wrong is always impressive.
Unfortunately physiology is not decided by opinion.
Obesity is classified as a disease by the American Medical Association, the World Health Organization, and every major endocrine and obesity society.
It involves dysregulation of appetite hormones, energy balance, genetics, and metabolic signaling.
Reducing it to “eat less and exercise more” ignores decades of physiology.
English
@drterrysimpson Also, if this person was right, everyone who ate like shit and didn't exercise would be overweight.
