Absolutely surreal to see my work live on the @Polymarket website.
Big thank you to the team, including @wasabiboat, @primo_data, and @shayne_coplan, all of whom went out of their way to share appreciation and credit, which I am deeply thankful for.
Polymarket isn’t just the largest prediction market in the world — we're also the most accurate.
Check out our new accuracy dashboard to see the wisdom of the crowd:
in case it wasn't clear, our current foreign policy (and to a large extent, domestic policy) is performative
designed to maximize market impact so that they can move trillions in flow on a daily basis to make billions from your fomo and panic
depressing
it’s like we’ve totally memory-holed that one of the main arguments for trump when he was first running was that he was too rich to care about monetizing the presidency
The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.
I know the poster probably doesn't recognize this, and by no means am I saying this stuff isn't common in SF, but posts like these come off as incredibly gauche and tone-deaf. Our new American industrialists and technological leaders need to stop worshiping the superficial hierarchy of "success prestige" that they themselves have created within higher ed since the 2000s, and recognize that worshiping money is not cool or ironically cool.
What has always confused about the strivers is that they believe "grinding" or "working hard" is good in and of itself. What they fail to recognize is that simply "grinding" without any purpose makes you beholden to whoever profits from it. I want these strivers to think harder about why they are in the jobs they are in, why they work for the people they do, and, eventually, what purpose their grind really serves.
Grinding it not a virtue. A virtue takes a positive position, by which I mean a declarative one.
imo this country needs a counter-elite of young American industrial and technological leaders who direct their grind, above all else, toward the prosperity of the nation, and by that I mean its people and their collective economic and national self-interest. Unless our smart young people find it within themselves to grow up a little, they will continue to work hard for some vague notion of personal or societal prestige that forever leaves them empty.

We are supposedly at war to stop Iran from enriching the uranium we “obliterated” over a year ago.
Yesterday we signed a deal to help Saudi Arabia enrich uranium.
The first time the United States has ever helped another country enrich uranium on foreign soil.
The Saudis refused the inspection protocol 140 other countries accept. Too intrusive, they said.
Trump agreed. He signed a national security waiver to get around the rule.
The Saudis paid Kushner $100 million. They put $2 billion into his firm. They put another $6 billion into LIV Golf, which pays Trump properties to host its tournaments. They signed ten billion dollars in Trump-branded real estate deals in Jeddah and Riyadh. All in just the last few years.
But sure. My paintings.
The CDC has linked an explosive illness outbreak to shredded iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell.
More than 1,600 people who got sick reported eating at Taco Bell locations in five states, and the FDA says its investigation traced the lettuce to a single supplier in Mexico.
Taco Bell is working to stop using the lettuce as investigators determine whether the contaminated product was distributed to other restaurants.
Excited to share our "Ode to Accounting" short film.
It's a tribute to the profession, tracing accounting's 10,000-year arc from clay tokens to double-entry to AI agents.
Accounting's next chapter is being written now, by the people doing the work. It's their era to shape.
