@dwarkesh_sp James Hankins and Allen Guelzo! Authors of The Golden Thread: A History of the Western Tradition. They’re ridiculously underinterviewed.

Who should I interview on my podcast? Open to more AI, but also to random history/econ/etc professors that I might not have heard of before.

It's all housing. I make 98th percentile income and buying a nice home in a nice neighborhood was financially stressful even for me. It shouldn't cost a million dollars to buy a house in the fourth best neighborhood in a second-tier city

Milton Friedman: “Economists don’t know much, but there’s one thing we know very, very well—and that’s how to produce shortages.” “You want a shortage of housing in New York City? Set a maximum price on rent, and you will have a shortage of housing.”

@noampomsky @nabeelqu There is a hilarious irony to this

substack is now flooded with all these obviously AI generated posts that people fawn over bc they’re too anti AI to recognize AI prose lol

@Saturn_Shuttle The only thing that can take down a nation state

This is a real case name, it set a precedent too so you will occasionally have references to it made such as "See Titties" or "as held in Titties" or "under Titties" when the best and worst part is that it isn't even the person's name, it was a typo

@MarcoFoster_ Lmao bezos is 20 billion times luckier than the average teacher by *checks notes* making better decisions

Hasan Piker: “Jeff Bezos is nothing without all the labor that allowed him to become a billionaire. Jeff Bezos was unbelievably and immensely lucky at numerous points in his life. I’m sure he worked hard, but you know who else works hard? A fucking teacher, a nurse. Probably a lot harder than Jeff Bezos ever did”

@TheB1M @Indian_Bronson This looks sick

New York's proposed 175 Park Avenue skyscraper has moved a step closer to overshadowing the iconic Chrysler Building. RXR Realty has now filed permits for the Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM)-designed structure that is due to sit adjacent to Grand Central Station. First announced in 2021 under the working title Project Commodore, the mixed-use building takes advantage of amended zoning laws in Midtown East to rise to 95-storeys. If approved the structure will include office space and a hotel. 📷 SOM

I reported on an experiment this week that blew my mind. Psychologists at @Cornell recruited thousands of people to talk with ChatGPT about a conspiracy theory they believed. They wanted to know: Is it true that conspiracy theories rarely get convinced out of their beliefs? 🧵

Data centers revitalize American manufacturing by driving massive demand and upgrading the power infrastructure in former industrial hubs. Building American technological infrastructure is good for America.

@linderps I appreciated the post!!

i deleted the post. i wrote it as a genuine account of my own personal experience. i never wished for men and women to be against each other. i genuinely just hoped that more people could focus on creating connection with each other rather than needing to perform and not be themselves. i know what i felt that night, but it seems that i was wrong for feeling what i felt, for feeling uncomfortable, and for not seeing him again. i hope the internet understands that it was my choice. after the 20th comment that im retarded, and that i should go kill myself, i think i will retire this discourse. good night and much love <3

A trolley is about to hit 5 people laying on the track You can redirect the car, but the other track has not yet reached regulatory approval or completed its 1 year environmental testing period, so operating a train car on it is a violation of transit regulations What do you do?

@eastdakota Discourage frivolous lawsuits. It’s the bane of the American justice system.

Have a problem I genuinely would love input on. My wife and I own a local newspaper. In our town the police arrested a member of the community for having what they thought were naked pictures of a juvenile on his phone. Held him for days. Turns out, it was his own kid and none of the pictures were sexual. Terrible. Newspaper we own reports on it. Just the facts. Also report on when he’s released and there are no charges. Exactly what local news should do. He sues us and the local radio station, which had also reported on the arrest. We’re like: dude, we just reported the facts. Radio station settles (not sure terms). We push on because we did nothing wrong and the nature of a newspaper is reporting what happened. So we win. No cause of action against the paper. And then we, under statute, get awarded attorneys fees. They amount to tens of thousands of dollars. So what’s the right move? I don’t particularly care about the money. But I do want to discourage other caseless plaintiffs against suing us. Has been a costly distraction. But also seems wrong to bankrupt the guy. Genuinely looking for what to do next…
