Most people misunderstand Elon's ultimate goal He is trying to make our entire civilization win. To view it as anything less is just shortsighted Elon winning means humanity winning While most people are stuck in a zero-sum mentality, he operates with a "grow-the-pie" mindset You can see all the things he built till now and also his future plans He started working on things long before it was popular or considered possible: • Zip2 & payment systems • Electric vehicles & batteries • Pure vision self-driving • Humanoid robots • Starlink Internet • AI (OpenAI) • Neuralink • The Boring Company And the future is even bigger: 1TW compute clusters, space datacenters, lunar bases, mass drivers on the Moon, and making life multi-planetary... basically driving humanity toward becoming a star-faring civilization He consistently takes on the world’s hardest problems to push our civilization forward... He freakin makes sci-fi real

Winston Churchill fought his depression with bricks. He'd lay them for hours at his country home in Kent. He joined the bricklayers' union. And in 1921 he wrote about why it worked. It took psychology another 75 years to catch up. He called his depression the "Black Dog." It followed him for decades. His method for fighting it back was as basic as it sounds: laying brick after brick, hour after hour. Churchill spelled out his theory in a long essay for The Strand Magazine. People who think for a living, he wrote, can't fix a tired brain just by resting it. They have to use a different part of themselves. The part that moves the eyes and the hands. Woodworking, chemistry, bookbinding, bricklaying, painting. Anything that drags the body into a problem the mind can't solve by itself. Modern psychology now calls this behavioral activation. It's one of the most-studied depression treatments out there. Depression sets a behavior trap. You feel bad, so you stop doing things, and doing less means less to feel good about. Feeling worse makes you do even less. The loop tightens until you can't breathe inside it. Behavioral activation breaks the loop from the action side. You schedule the activity first, even when every part of you doesn't want to. Doing it produces small rewards: a wall gets straighter, a painting fills in, a messy room gets clean. Those small rewards slowly rewire the brain. Action comes first, and the feeling follows. Researchers at the University of Washington put this to the test in 2006. They studied 241 adults with major depression and compared three treatments: behavioral activation, regular talk therapy, and antidepressants. For the people who were most severely depressed, behavioral activation matched the drugs. It beat the talk therapy. A 2014 review of more than 1,500 patients across 26 trials backed up the result. Physical work like bricklaying does something extra on top of this. It crowds out rumination, the looping bad thoughts that grind people down during the worst stretches of depression. Bricklaying needs both hands and gives feedback brick by brick: each one is straight or crooked. After an hour you can see exactly how much wall you built. No room left for the mental chewing. The line George Mack used in his post, "depression hates a moving target," is good poetry. The science behind it is sharper. Depression hates a brain that has somewhere else to be.

Ireland is so rich 40% of working people under the age of 35 live in their childhood bedroom without hope of buying or renting their own home. Ireland is so rich that each month it sets new homelessness records with 17,500 people being homeless in March. Ireland is so rich that 3 out of 5 Irish people under the age of 25 want to emigrate and 81% said they'd have a better quality of life elsewhere. Ireland is so rich that Irish people - not high-earning non-Irish FDI tech multinational (Indian) workers, and not no-earning false asylum claimants - will at best be able to move into a garden shed out the back of their parent's home. Ireland is so rich that when it snows elderly people across the nation - particularly in the west - are left without heat and electricity because of archaic infrastructure outside of the capital. Ireland is so rich that hauliers and farmers recently braved being pepper-sprayed by police to try and bring notice to the fact that they are living paycheque to paycheque. Ireland is so rich that groceries cost the second-highest in the Eurozone - 12% above the EU average. It has the highest electricity costs in Europe (excluding inflationary government subsidies). Ireland is so rich it routinely tops the most expensive lists for hotels, dining, internet, phones, postage etc. Ireland is so rich...on paper. 👇👇👇

A 62-year-old female Morrison’s worker was sacked after trying to physically apprehend a teenage thief. The store defended the dismissal by arguing that she endangered herself and her colleagues. The world has gone completely mad. thesun.co.uk/news/38976595/…

Irish making a spectacle of themselves in Britain this week... Fr Ted creator Graham Linehan wins an appeal against a criminal conviction Moloko lead singer Roisin Murphy highly-regarded (in Britain and online) speech at a House of Lords event Journalist Helen Joyce and her book 'Trans: When Ideology meets Reality ' named in the Top 25 Times list of non-fiction for the 21st century You'd think this concurrence might merit a word or two in our Sunday press.

Vive la démocratie directe ! ⤵️ En Suisse, il y a quelques semaines par votation, le pays a voté exactement L’INVERSE du projet dévoilé aujourd’hui par l’UE, l’extinction de l’argent liquide. Les Suisses en effet ont voté le 8 mars 2026 : - que le franc suisse est la monnaie du pays ! - que la Banque nationale suisse garantit l’approvisionnement en argent liquide ! ➡️ Résultat : l’argent liquide est désormais protégé constitutionnellement en Suisse. Il ne pourra pas être supprimé ou remplacé entièrement par de l’argent virtuel sans modifier la Constitution (ce qui nécessite un référendum) ! C’est une victoire claire du maintien permanent de l’argent liquide ! ➡️ Tout l’intérêt de la démocratie directe ET de la souveraineté nationale, la Suisse étant hors UE/euro !

Japan: longest life expectancy on the planet (around 85 years). Plant-based advocates: "See? Rice and vegetables!" Japan's actual diet: Seafood: by far the most consumed animal protein, around 45-50kg per capita annually Pork: the most consumed land meat Chicken: a close second Beef: expensive but eaten regularly, and prized Eggs: among the highest per-capita consumption on Earth, often raw on rice Dashi (fish stock): the base of nearly every savoury dish on the table Roughly half of Japanese protein comes from animal sources. Their longevity gets pinned on the rice. Meanwhile they're eating fish at almost every meal, drowning their vegetables in fish stock, cracking eggs into breakfast, and treating beef like a luxury good worth saving up for. The fish is the meal. The rice is there to mop up the dashi. Acknowledging any of this would mean admitting that the longest-lived population on Earth eats half its protein from animals. And that conclusion doesn't fit the pamphlet. So they point at the rice. Hope nobody asks what's on top of it.

🚨🚨 DURO GOLPE MORTAL a la presidenta del Banco Central Europeo, Christine Lagarde. Suiza 🇨🇭 APROBÓ en referéndum garantizar el uso PERMANENTE del dinero en efectivo. 👏👏👏 Un 73% de los votantes respaldó una iniciativa para garantizar la disponibilidad permanente de dinero en efectivo en el país, que no podrá ser reemplazada por dinero virtual. Con el dinero en efectivo la Agenda 2030 no se puede implementar. EL EFECTIVO ES VIDA Y LIBERTAD⚔️🔥

The state pension is not a random government favour, it’s the back end of a 35–40 year compulsory “contract” where people are forced to hand over National Insurance on the clear promise of a basic pension at the end. Politicians and think tanks helped design an unfunded, pay‑as‑you‑go system where today’s workers pay today’s pensioners, then have the gall to call it “unsustainable” as if the public dreamt it up. If a private firm sold you a retirement product on fixed terms, took your money for four decades, then announced at 66 that you “didn’t really need it” and would henceforth be means‑tested or frozen, they would be in court for mis‑selling and fraud. The crisis here is not pensioners “leeching off the young”, it’s a political class that built a Ponzi‑style NI system, diverted the proceeds for other spending, and now wants to default on the people who kept their side of the bargain. You do not blame the victims of a defective product for believing the brochure; you go after the people who wrote it.

Absolutely. The case ended today when the judge concluded there was insufficient evidence that a crime had actually been committed. The court heard evidence that Brooks is an unreliable witness, and the only evidence his 4-year-old phone had been damaged by Graham was Brooks' say-so. The description of the interactions between Brooks and his buddies, in particular Lynsay Watson, and the police, was to say the least unedifying. Likewise how the charging decision was made. For this a man was arrested at Heathrow and put in a cell. A bunch of court time was wasted. And behind the scenes there are oodles of baseless crime reports made by this posse, and endless applications for judicial review when the police don't jump to their tune. How much money is being wasted on all this?

A written summary of my keynote: The Digital Transformation of Capital, Credit, and Money $STRC

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

Read this slowly. In 2020 the Bank of England created money at the push of a button. They bought government bonds at £100. Today they sold them for £23.41. Half a billion pounds. Gone before lunch. They printed it. They lost it. They billed you. Paid from your wage. Your tax. Your blood and sweat. They handed every UK household a £7,000 bill. You did not see it because they hid it in your tax. You did not push the button. You will pay anyway. This is theft.

You think the bloke who worked hard and built a business is the problem. He is not. You think the boomer who paid off his mortgage in 1998 is the problem. He is not. Nobody holding a pound is your enemy. Whether you have a tenner in your pocket or a million in your account, you hold the same broken currency. The pound has lost 69% of its purchasing power since 2000. That tenner buys less. That million buys less. The man next door did not print £895 billion during covid. The man next door did not freeze your tax thresholds. The man next door did not sell your gilts for a 76% loss and tax you more to cover it. The men who did are on television telling you to have broader shoulders and extracting your wealth to plug the gaps they created. We are being divided so we do not unite against the people who actually robbed us.

My letter to the President of the Oxford Union.👇 I see Carl Benjamin ⁦@Sargon_of_Akkad⁩ was also stood down from speaking at this debate on British identity. If these are our future leaders of the country, then we are in trouble. 😬
