It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them!

"That's the trouble with having it all. Nothing left that you want to work hard to achieve." If you find yourself in that boat, you had the wrong goals in the first place. They were just monetary, which isn't a real goal. Money is a way of keeping score, but not the end in itself. You could hand me 2.5B tomorrow (I dare you) and I'd still be trying to mount an RP06 disk pack on a UDA50 controller in a PDP-11. And we mount the discs and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard! And fun. TLDR: money is necessary but not sufficient.

マイクラの生みの親、マルクス・ペルソン。 35歳で自社をマイクロソフトに25億ドル(約3,800億円)で売却して、一夜にして世界の富豪に登り詰めた男。 ロサンゼルスの7,000万ドルの豪邸を買い、やりたい放題の生活を手に入れた。 でもその直後、彼は姿を消して深い鬱に落ちていく。 「すべてを手に入れることが、なぜ最高の呪いになるのか」 この話、マジで考えさせられる。 マルクスはもともと経営者じゃなく、ただの「コーディングの天才」だった。 2009年、たった一人で部屋にこもって「Minecraft」を書き上げる。 広告も出さず、大きな組織も通さない。 純粋な遊び心から生まれたゲームが、気づけば1日に15,000本売れる最強の「マネーマシン」になっていた。 でも、成功と一緒にやってきたのは、彼が一番やりたくなかった「経営」の重荷。 ・終わらない会議 ・ドロドロの人事トラブル ・絶えない訴訟の数々 ただゲームを作りたいだけなのに、運営に縛られる毎日。 情熱は消えて、ストレスだけが積み上がっていった。 2014年、ついに限界がきて一通のツイートを放つ。 「誰か、俺の株を買ってくれないか。普通に人生を送りたいんだ」 すぐにマイクロソフトが食いついた。 交渉は一瞬。買収額は25億ドル。 手元に1,700億円以上のキャッシュを残して、彼は自由になった。 そこからは、想像できるすべての贅沢をした。 ロスを一望できる超豪邸。家の中に専用の「キャンディルーム」を作り、ガレージには車の回転台。 イビサ島で朝までパーティーして、超有名セレブたちと遊びまくる。 誰もが憧れる「あがり」の瞬間。 でも、ここからが地獄だった。 お金は彼の問題を何一つ解決しなかった。 それどころか、生きる目的を奪い去った。 豪華なテラスから、彼はこんなツイートをし始める。 「イビサで有名人とつるんで、何でもできる。でも、こんなに孤独を感じたことはない」 「すべてを持っている者の悩みはこれだ。努力して手に入れたいものが、何一つ残っていないことなんだ」 新しい会社を作ろうとしても、あの頃の熱量は戻らない。 パーティーを開いても、心の穴は埋まらない。 マイクラを作っていた時に彼を突き動かしていた「あの炎」は、もう消えていたから。 彼に必要だったのは、広いベッドでも豪華な家でもなかった。 自分を燃やせる「意味」や、死ぬ気で取り組める「使命」そのものだった。 マルクスが身をもって教えてくれた教訓。 「目的のない自由は、ただの地獄」 お金は不便は消してくれるけど、生きる理由はくれない。 もし今、お金だけを追いかけているならこれだけは忘れないで。 人生というゲームの本当の攻略対象は、お金じゃない。 自分の魂をぶつけられる「ミッション」を、死ぬまで持ち続けられるかどうか。

"Study IT! That's the job of the future!" "Oh, actually, IT is now one of the most oversaturated jobs in the world. Wanna write code for the wage of a fast food server?"

Hot Take: When you're spending a few billion anyway, make the control center look like it. This should be the set from Wargames at a minimum, not a hotel meeting room with a projector.

@Vaynivia @Tyras_Mikhail Yeah it feels like that some days when you're not on a ladder, hanging a TV, and pulling dead mice out of heating vents. 😂

Graphic censored video shows the moment an illegal Haitian migrant suspect beat a Muslim hijab-wearing woman to death with a hammer in Fort Myers on April 3. The local police worked with ICE, unlike in liberal jurisdictions, & arrested Rolbert Joachim.

Skeptic Research Center Team
A majority of GenZ and Millennial Americans believe it is "racist" for school teachers to expect black children to speak standard English. (See first chart below). This finding holds regardless of race. Over half of white, hispanic, black and asian GenZ and Millennials believe it is "racist" for teachers to expect black children to speak proper English. (See second chart below). These data come from the American Political Perspectives Survey (APPS) collected from August 3, 2025, to September 26, 2025, with 3,000 American adults who speak English. All respondents needed to pass (1) attention checks, (2) a duplication check, (3) time-to-completion checks, (4) fraud and (5) bot-identification checks.

@ApexImperialist Actually, no, they don't. Humans have a moral obligation to do certain things that do not make the action a right. You might be morally required to provide healthcare to someone, but healthcare is never a right. Easy!

The Biden Administration is directly responsible for countless American deaths. It was essentially a terrorist organization and every Biden official should be arrested and put on trial like Nuremberg, starting with the senile scumbag himself. He should die in a jail cell. They spent four years deliberately flooding our communities with as many psychotic murderous foreigners as they could. Every ounce of blood shed by these animals is on their hands. In a just world they’d all be charged with mass murder and crimes against humanity. And I’m not remotely joking when I say that.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. The man who brutally m*rdered an innocent gas station clerk in Fort Myers, Florida is a HAITIAN ILLEGAL ALIEN caught and released by Biden in 2022 — Fox's @BillMelugin_ This is jaw-dropping betrayal. HE HAD TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS. This is why they ALL must go back — BEFORE they commit violent crimes! Not after. Surveillance footage shows the vicious migrant beating her to death with a hammer, after beating up her car She lost her life mere moments after leaving the store. Footage redacted due to how graphic it is. H/t @PostPositiveX

We gradually transitioned from a democratic welfare state to full-on race communism between the 1960s and today for two reasons: 1. The beneficiaries of our race laws went from 10 percent of the population to a majority in places like NYC and soon a majority nationally. 2. We bent a lot of rules to give black Americans a one-time boost thinking they’d catch up. That didn’t happen, so now the choice is either go back to colorblindness and the rule of law anyway even though it means unequal outcomes, or let the government keep meddling more and more in the name of racial equity.
Chief Nerd@TheChiefNerd

🚨 MAMDANI: “The wealth of a median white household in the city is more than $200,000, while that of a black household is less than $20,000 … We are reckoning with the long history of racism here and starting to act upon a framework that puts equity right at the center of it.”

@SipOfKoKo Nothing says moral superiority like announcing it unprompted to strangers online. Also, for the vegans who still eat meat, why keep lying about it?
