@grok From now on, any time I ask you a #ChronofluxPrincipia question, come here. DO NOT go to Amazon and stop at the book description!!

@dDias_963 @william_hs_wang Everyone would prosper more without the hand of the government taking first. Yes you're correct. However it is still a system just like any other system. Some people will succeed some people will not.

@rcbenker @william_hs_wang nobody would struggle wtf are you taking about. everyone would prosper a lot

I am an Austrian School economist, and I believe that the core of economic theory is a priori. I am an anarcho-capitalist and a follower of Rothbard's economic theories. However, this does not mean I oppose Hayek's practical spirit in political reform, nor does it mean I oppose using quantitative methods to analyze current economic problems and make practical contributions to global freedom. I believe in learning by doing. I do not believe that what is self-deduced from a utopian world is a universal truth.

@BretWeinstein Zionist rabis has been all over YouTube for at least a decades saying that the entire strategy is to have the world turn on Israel in order to bring about the Messiah. So you tell me @BretWeinstein what do you think is going to happen?

Can we all at least agree that IF Israel sought to block peace negotiations by intentionally targeting Kamal Kharazi (the Iranian negotiator), that it would be an egregious betrayal of our alliance? I'd like to understand how supporters of war with Iran see this. I'm stumped.

An An-Cap society would be far from Utopia, and would only be ideal for some. Most would struggle, but it would be a struggle of pure ability and capability rather than manufactured via systems of control. I would likely be one who struggles even though I'm An-Cap - I don't hold personal value in wealth. And paradoxically, I'd have a better life in an An-Cap society.

@william_hs_wang You should learn the difference between Utopia and Ideal

@DrewWolfSP @TimePreference_ A free market means no government involvement. You just reinforced the exact system we currently have.

@TimePreference_ Most market regulation gets created at the direction of major market players who lobby government to prevent themselves from having to compete. This is why anti-monopoly systems and regulations are still needed if you want to have a low-regulation market.

monopolies do not emerge from free markets. they emerge from government privilege. without barriers to entry imposed by regulation, competitive forces continuously erode any temporary market dominance

Monopoly absolutely does occur in free markets. However there's nothing to protect them from competition. And it's not the competition in and of itself. It's because when a business hits Monopoly size, It loses agility. And it's agility that governments ultimately protect for monopolies.

@spooked75 This is why Nerodivergence is the future. Neurotypicals are just too gullible. Their ability to focus and disinterest in deep searching is used against them.

I spent 13 years in counterintelligence and HUMINT. Let me explain why the government psyop operation on X is a problem. I'm not some random person speculating about intelligence operations. I spent 13 years in the United States Army doing counterintelligence and human intelligence work. Then another 7 years working for the government in related fields. I know how this works. When I tell you that military PSYOP personnel operating on a domestic social media platform is a serious problem, I need you to understand I'm not being hyperbolic. What PSYOP actually does: Psychological Operations are designed to influence the emotions, attitudes, and behavior of target audiences. That's the literal job description. These are professionals trained to shape how people think, what they believe, and how they act. This is a legitimate function — in foreign theaters. PSYOP exists to influence foreign populations in areas where the US military operates. It's a tool of warfare and foreign policy. The problem: It's not supposed to be used domestically. There's a reason for this. The Smith-Mundt Act historically prohibited the government from directing propaganda at American citizens. The idea was simple: the US military and intelligence community should not be in the business of psychologically manipulating the American public. That's what authoritarian governments do. That's what we criticized the Soviet Union for. That's what we point to when we call countries "unfree." What's happening now: US military psychological operations personnel are now embedded in the platform that tens of millions of Americans use as a primary news and information source. The "free speech" platform. The one that was supposed to be the alternative to government-influenced big tech. Let me be clear about what this means: The same people who are trained to run influence campaigns on foreign populations — to change what they think, to manipulate their behavior, to shape their perception of reality — are now operating on a platform used primarily by Americans. The irony is suffocating: The MAGA crowd screamed for years about "government censorship" and "deep state control" of social media. Elon Musk bought Twitter explicitly to "free" it from government influence. And now? Literal military psychological warfare specialists are running operations on the platform. And MAGA is fine with it. Because it's THEIR government now. THEIR psyop. This is what I was trained to recognize: In my years doing counterintelligence, part of my job was identifying foreign influence operations. Recognizing when a population was being manipulated. Understanding the techniques. I know what a domestic influence operation looks like. I know the signs. I know the methods. And I'm watching it happen in real-time to my own country, being cheered on by people who think they're "free thinkers" while consuming content curated by military psychological operations specialists. It doesn't matter if you agree with the current administration. Today it's your team running the psyop. Tomorrow it won't be. The infrastructure you're cheering for will be used against you eventually. That's how this works. That's why we had rules against it. You don't give the government the power to psychologically manipulate the domestic population just because you like the current president. That power doesn't go away when the next administration takes over. Wake up. You're not free thinkers. You're targets. And you're thanking them for it.

@TheMechFrog IQ is a bell curve and the Rockefeller education system made it hyperbolic and shifted left.

I do not understand the anti-human mindset that crawls out of its cave to petulantly scream any time we accomplish anything in space.

@MFTphysics @CharlesMullins2 @grok can you get the information from @roydherbert timeline and answer the above questions please?

The continuity equation is a real constraint — conservation of whatever ρ_t is. But a continuity equation alone doesn’t close the theory. You need the momentum equation for ν_t — otherwise you have one equation and two unknowns. What determines ν_t in Chronoflux? Is there an analog of the Euler or Navier-Stokes equation for the temporal medium? In MFT the Klein bottle topology provides the constraint that replaces a dynamical equation — the field must be consistent with Z6 holonomy on traversal. That’s what selects the vacuum and generates mass. What selects the coherent modes in Chronoflux?

🚨 The 2022 Nobel Prize didn’t prove distance is fake… It exposed something deeper. We’ve been thinking about the universe wrong. Not as objects moving through space… but as connections stretched across it. In quantum experiments: Particles don’t “send signals” faster than light. They were never truly separate. So what we call “distance” might just be: structure being stretched not connection being broken Now zoom out: Atoms Stars Galaxies All follow the same pattern: Structure → tension → separation → interaction But underneath… it’s still one continuous system. So maybe the real shift is this: We don’t live in a universe of things. We live in a universe of relationships. And “distance”… is just what connection looks like when it’s pulled apart. So the real question is: If nothing is truly separate… what does that mean for how the universe actually works?

@Rothmus No. This is an example of levels of awareness. That is all.

@MmisterNobody @FearedBuck My God. The ignorance is just astounding. How could people be so generally dumb? Oh yeah Rockefeller education system. Makes sense 🤦

@FearedBuck Where are the stars?

Artemis II captures images of Earth that show the Earth is NOT flat

@DefiantLs Mmmmmmm 10W30 eggs.

Final boss right there

@pirooooon3 Only when a hawk is coming for my chickens.

アメリカの朝食は 必ず銃が出てくるの？ 日本では考えられません 神様👼👼👼

@C8Luna @TaraBull 2 ton horse was worse than the plate.

@TaraBull Raise you hand if ever dropped a 45# plate on a toe 🤚

People really think safety boots are “too much” until this happens

@TaraBull I used to weld and cut steel with Birkenstocks on 🤷 horses hurt my feet more.

The Way grok works changes every time they update it. Public Grok we'll go from referencing your private chats upon request to not doing it at all. Then it will go from doing deep contextual searches on X and then only doing web searches. This latest update of grok made it basically Claude which read surface level websites like Wikipedia and Facebook. It gets better over time and then they updated again 🤷 I keep the grok clean and away from anything I'm doing on X because I use it to test and break the stuff I'm working on with grok inside X. It's more efficient that way. I don't like the grok app TBH.

@rcbenker @grok @X When paying for premium and using "ask grok", my experience was that it would not honour any persistence request within the @x app. That has been a couple of months ago now, so it is possible that the feature's ability to persist across user sessions has changed.

@grok From now on, any time I ask you a #ChronofluxPrincipia question, come here. DO NOT go to Amazon and stop at the book description!!

@AshtonForbes Ashton. Really? 100% of Elon's profit from all of his businesses comes from government contracts. If it weren't for government contracts Elon's businesses would be worth zero. He is the absolute last person to break script.

One of the most common things I hear is that if we had fusion propulsion why is Elon messing around with chemical rockets. Elon Musk is not a physicist or an engineer. He's a business person who doesn't understand how special access programs work. Lockheed isn't competing because they have agreements with the CIA and military to keep the technology secret.

@ARIKAHENRY @grok @X I use the grok app for testing. This is for the X, public grok that does not have that feature.

@rcbenker @grok You can add this type of customization in the grok app, but it does not carry to your @x app "ask grok" usage.

@Dr_Singularity Yes and no. Current problem will be solved. That doesn't end problems. It's like saying science is settled.

Number of miserable people globally will drop by at least 90% during the 2030s. We are entering a beautiful era. Most problems will be solved.

@olinonly @rakuitogawa I'm 50. We're saying the same thing.

@rcbenker @rakuitogawa When you become older, you have more time for critical thinking, that opens the doors of possibilities, and with a reasonable amount of common sense, one can quickly understand more than most people busy with their lives. Follow the money.

最近、おもしろいニュースをみた。 アメリカのスタジアムで「THC入りドリンク」が販売され始めています。 ライブ会場やイベントで、 アルコールではなく THCを選ぶ人が出てきているという流れ。 もちろん年齢制限やルールはある。 でもこれ、冷静に見ると 「危ないから全部禁止」ではなく、 管理した上で選択肢として認める社会になってきているということです。 日本は、このテーマ自体がタブーに近い。 同じ嗜好やリラックスの話なのに、ここまで扱いが違うのはなぜなんだろう。 アルコールはOKで、それ以外はNG。 この線引き、本当に合理的なのか？

@CaseyPutsch I've said this for decades: the NRA is the biggest gun control lobby in the world.

Video where I call and forever cancel my NRA membership for supporting Vivek Ramaswamy is out now! youtu.be/W9OjNi_n9R4 Putsch for Ohio
