Was a pleasure producing this for Delphi. We set out to tell the story of how humans have passed knowledge through generations: from campfires, to printing presses, to books, TV – and now, Conversational Media.

I heard X is the new instagram.

Hard to beat a photo walk through San Francisco’s Chinatown, North Beach, and Fishermen’s Wharf.

@sethbannon So smart

[Ben Possehl @BenPossehl]

Tesla FSD is still extremely underrated.

Ever since ~v13, I hardly even have to think about it. The car just drives, and does so with a smooth confidence. Highly recommended.

@arminkhaya @grok would setting up a camera on a tripod for a long exposure reveal any detail in the vantablack art pieces?

[Ben Possehl @BenPossehl]

While I agree with your sentiment, film has A LOT more dynamic range than digital (even with as good as digital sensors have gotten).

Obviously the way film renders highlights, mid-tones, shadows, colors, detail, falloff, contrast, etc. varies based on the film stock.

@alexwikstrom @grok what gym is this

[Ben Possehl @BenPossehl]

@packyM It’s really good, though pretty easy to tell which parts are scripted and which are improvised.

Feels like some PMMs came in at the eleventh hour and had to make sure every technical detail was communicated.

Indeed a step in the right direction!

@chayesmatthew Why solve a problem when you benefit from the lack of a solution

@liamjmcgregor Not really – but have filmed with their head of design, Joel Lewenstein

@nypost Why should this surprise anyone? He’s a communist that hates white people. Rip NYC

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

Leaving out the Italian, Jewish, and Irish enclaves in NYC is like leaving out Mexican and Persian enclaves in LA.

It’s not an “oopsie!” This is deliberate subversion. The communist must erase your history so he can demolish your home and make it his own.

Close enough @cybertruck

@PalmerLuckey @elonmusk Everyone wants to be a victim. It’s the “easy way out”

[Ben Possehl @BenPossehl]

Update:
it was worth it.

[Ben Possehl @BenPossehl]

Drove an hour, parked 1.5 miles away, and the wind is windy. Let’s hope these fireworks are worth it! 🎆

To the Americans:

I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.

And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:

You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.

This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.

Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.

This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.

But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.

This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.

And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:

Thank God for the United States.

Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.

Long may your admirable country dominate the world.

Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.

May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.

Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.

Thank God for the USA.

Happy 250th.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

My condolences to everyone betting on America’s decline: you’re betting against geography, resources, language, and infrastructure.
