I’m 100% convinced that our national debt sits largely in two buckets: Fraud Illegal immigration That’s it—solve those two things and we have a balanced budget.

turned out the iranian government was lying about not developing any ballistic missiles with range beyond 2000km. hardly surprising, but justification for removing their ballistic missile capability militarily.

Huh. Fully operational IRBMs. I guess President Trump and U.S. defense officials had access to information regarding Iran's missile capabilities that was not available to leftwing tankies, New Right dipshits, and journalists.

One interesting observation I’ve noticed is a lot of top founders did oddly strong at math from a young age.

Oof, you got me. I didn't ask the fictional, ageless character for consent. You know, I don't appreciate you digging through an alt that is separate from this account for a reason. The entire reason I kept the two separate was because the other account got doxxed. So thanks, you're actively putting me in danger. 👍

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

Indiana's statehouse just signed two bills that cannot survive being read in the same sentence. The first: public universities must now accept the Classic Learning Test for admissions. The CLT draws its questions from classical texts. Plato. Augustine. Cicero. Shakespeare. The argument is that these works represent the intellectual foundation of Western civilization and self-government. The second: public colleges must eliminate programs deemed to produce "low earning" graduates. No carve-out for humanities. No protection for the programs where students actually read and wrestle with those classical authors the first bill just elevated. Fort Wayne's Redeemer Classical School sent a representative to the statehouse to champion the CLT. Their students read Homer and Euclid. Their graduates will now test into universities that are legally required to accept their scores and simultaneously required to shut down the departments built around the tradition those scores are supposed to measure. You cannot champion the classics as a signal of intellectual seriousness and then eliminate the classrooms that make the ideas real. That is not education reform. That is a credential without a curriculum.

The ability of the Claude team to learn from things like OpenClaw and implement features like this on a daily basis is a very strong argument that, for AI-powered coding teams, a very different software development process is possible, with large strategic implications.

The point is a genuinely general artificial reasoner that ostensibly works much, MUCH faster than human neurons do should indeed be able to grasp these Turing complete languages more easily than a human can, if they are able to reason at all (which they aren’t).
