My father’s gravestone contained my entire philosophy. It took me 40 years to read it. @leedufour93/he-played-the-game-1a3a030404d3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@leedufour93/h…

If you followed my old account, @profontheright, please do me a favor. Go to that account, tap those three dots at the top right, tap “report,” scroll down and tap “Impersonation,” then answer a few questions about who is being impersonated (me), etc. Thanks!

Robert Reich says he wants billionaires to go extinct! That’s economic idiocy. Billionaires get rich by CREATING wealth. They get paid a lot, but still only earn 2% of the value of their companies, economist @danieljmitchell notes. We should want MORE billionaires:

@nikitabier Why doesn’t @X do a better job of protecting its creators? My verified account @profontheright with 40K followers was hacked and stolen, and @X Support has been no help. I can easily prove the account belongs to me.

Thank you @drdrew for having me on today. My four Nespressos from early this morning when I did Scott Adams' old show were still circulating. So much fun. Now comes the downdraft. And a hot bath.

Balaji might seem out there at times, but he’s almost always just 6 months and 60% ahead of the consensus
Balaji@balajis

I'm going to make some obvious points. (1) Blowing up all the oil infrastructure in the Middle East is an insane idea, and may well result in a global economic crash and humanitarian crisis unrivaled in the lives of those now living. We're talking about the price of everything everywhere rising, from food to gas, at a moment when inflation was already high. All of that will be laid at the feet of the authors of this war. (2) The antebellum status quo of Feb 27, 2026 was just not that bad, but we're unlikely to return to it. Expect indefinite, long-term, ongoing disruptions to everything out of the Middle East. (3) Also assume tech financing crashes for the indefinite future. The genius plan to get the Gulf states caught in the crossfire has incinerated much of the funding for LPs, for datacenters, and for IPOs. Anyone in tech who supported this war may soon learn the meaning of "force majeure" as funding gets yanked. (4) Many capital allocators will instead be allocating much further down Maslow's hierarchy of needs, towards useful basic things like food and energy. (5) It's fortunate that all those progressives yelled about the "climate crisis." Yes, their reasoning about timelines was wrong, and much of the money was wasted in graft, but the result was right: we all need energy independence from the Middle East, pronto. It's also fortunate that Elon and China autistically took climate seriously. Now they're going to need to ship a billion solar panels, electric vehicles, batteries, nuclear power plants, and the like to get everyone off oil, immediately. (6) It's not just an oil and gas problem, of course. It's also a fertilizer problem, and a chemical precursor problem. Maybe some new sources will come online at the new prices, but it takes time to dial stuff up, particularly at this scale, so shortages are almost a certainty. That said, China has actually scaled up coal-to-chemicals[a,c] (C2C), and there's also something more sci-fi called Power-to-X[b] which turns arbitrary power + water + air into hydrocarbons. But all of that will need to get accelerated. I have a background in chemical engineering so may start funding things in this area. (7) Ultimately, this war is going to result in tremendous blame for anyone associated with it. It's a no-win scenario to blow up this much infrastructure for so many people. Simply not worth it for whatever objective they thought they were going to attain. But unless you're actually in a position to stop the madness, the pragmatic thing to do is: scramble to mitigate the fallout to yourself, your business, and your people.

@GarbageHuman24 Yep. Thailand has an average IQ similar to US blacks+hispanics, but does not have a crime problem. At 2AM, the streets are full of women walking alone. Those two races are special.

For those wondering how big the Rogan podcast is in Canada, given Poilievre’s upcoming appearance. It’s the most popular podcast in the country.
Harrison Lowman@harrisonlowman

Audible gasps from the crowd I was in this week, as it was revealed that a whopping 11% of Canadians have listened to the Joe Rogan (@joerogan) Podcast in the last month, maintaining its title as the most popular podcast in Canada. Last year it was 14%. Only two of the top 10 are Canadian. None are from English Canada. How’s that for cultural consumption? Source: Signal Hill Canadian Podcast Listener Survey
