@streets_a_head @AdamKinzinger Why doesn’t he perceive this as a threat? Is it because this isn’t a threat? Is that what he says?

@intrepidfreeman @AdamKinzinger “I think this is funny, and not in any way a threat that’s real”

Here’s the funny thing. I think this is funny, and not in any way a threat that’s real, because these people are giant sissies.
I’m not indicting this dude, because I’m not a scared little bitch

Arguably Jane Street might have the lowest return on raw IQ and talent for any institution ever developed
Imagine if, like Alexander emptying the Persian treasury, the whole thing were unbundled rather than everyone working like a Stakhanovite for a extra basis point

I gave a talk at Jane Street once, smartest room of people I have ever met and I've been in rooms with multiple Nobel prize winners.

Please read and enjoy today’s work, “Runoff” by Walden Brooks (@chillerguylife). I really love the scenes and objects he weaves through his restrained yet affecting poems. I’m looking forward to reading more from him. plaguecircuspress.com/runoff-by-wald…

Sam Francis on why the conservative movement failed: it placed too much trust in the "marketplace of ideas." You don't win simply by having better a better grasp of first principles. Winning requires doing the leg work, getting organized, and exerting your will.
“My conclusion that conservatism has transformed itself into virtual extinction will surprise and perhaps even anger those [who are] reluctant to admit that some things, even ideas, fail. Regarding political events as the earthly manifestations of timeless abstractions, the intellectual mainstream of the ‘Old Right’ from the end of World War II developed a highly sophisticated body of ideas and a highly articulate body of spokesmen to express them. Perhaps because they were too uxoriously wedded to Weaver’s principle that ‘Ideas Have Consequences,’ most of the conservative intellectuals who subscribed to this body of thought always seemed to assume that it was only a matter of time before their own beliefs would creep up on the ideas of the Left, slit their throats in the dark, and stage an intellectual and cultural coup d’état, after which truth would reign. I have never thought so, in part because I have less faith in the power of intellectual abstractions than most of my conservative colleagues.”
A few lines later: "I place more emphasis on the concrete forces of elites, organization, and psychic and social forces such as class and regional and ethnic identity than on formal intellectual abstractions and their 'logical' extrapolations as the determining forces of history."
Btw, he's writing this in the early 90s!
