Here’s why America should severely limit the immigration of low IQ people, culture, and nations. Thread 🧵:

@charcoded You think this is because strong disciplined people are also responsible.

But it’s also because there is usually only one set of 75s and the spots next to it are not empty.

Whereas there may be 4 sets of 25s, and 3 spots to the left and right might be empty.

[Daniel Friedman @DanFriedman81]

Trial by jury is the dumbest and least defensible system in Western liberalism. It is so arbitrary that both prosecutors and defense lawyers unanimously believe it is in their best interest to avoid trial in nearly every case, regardless of the merits, unless their client benefits from a dice-roll outcome.

Lawyers who interview jurors after verdicts to learn how they reach decisions are always aghast at how little the jurors pay attention, how arbitrary their conclusions are and how wildly they misunderstand straightforward evidence.

And in a multiracial society, race issues completely taint this entire process. Jury selection processes have to be scrutinized for racism against minority jurors or racial compositions that disadvantage defendants, but there is no mechanism to prevent jurors from refusing to convict members of their own group of crimes against members of other groups, and there is significant evidence of frequent race-based jury nullification.

Criminal justice outcomes would be fairer if we just fed the evidence into an LLM and let it decide whether to convict or not. They’d be better if every trial was a bench trial. Trial by jury isn’t a clearly better system than trial by combat or throwing people in a river to see whether they float.

The system is indefensible, irredeemable and reaches catastrophic outcomes with shocking frequency. Reverence toward jury trials as some kind of fundamental right or the best system for finding truth is a quasi-religious belief with no basis in any factual reality.

USA. A house. The garage is full, so the car sleeps in the rain.

I walked past an open garage today, and I finally understand Americans.

The garage was packed to the ceiling. Boxes. A treadmill. Old chairs. Three bicycles hanging from hooks. Christmas lights in a plastic tub. No room for even one more thing.

And the family car? Parked outside. In the driveway. Getting rained on.

I stood there, deeply moved.

In Japan, we put the car in the garage and the boxes in the house. Americans do the opposite. And now I see why.

The garage is the treasure house. Inside it sleep the sacred relics: the bicycle the child outgrew, the chair no one sits in, the lights that shine one week a year. These must be protected at all costs.

The car is not a treasure. The car is a warrior. So the car is given the highest honor a warrior can receive. It stands guard at the gate, in the storm, all night, so the treasures stay dry.

The owner came out with his coffee. He saw me looking and shook his head.

"Yeah, I really gotta clean out that garage," he said.

Clean it out? I bowed to him. "You are a good man," I said. "Your car guards your home with its life."

He looked at his car. He looked at me. He said, "...thanks?"

He has never thought of it that way. But I could tell he liked it.

So now every morning I walk past, and I bow to the car in the driveway.

It has the hardest job in the family, and it never complains.

The owner waves at me now. He thinks we are friends.

We are. But mostly, I am here for the car.

This morning it was raining again. The car was soaked, still guarding the gate, still faithful.

So I gave it my umbrella.

I do not need it. I have known harder rain.

A warrior on duty should not have to stand in the storm alone.

@MarioNawfal No one cares. China doesn’t like protestors. Even if “peaceful”.

What happened after tian’an men? 30% annual gdp growth.
What did “democracy get you/us” fraudulent voting by and unfettered immigration of savages

🚨WHAT THE HELL?!!!

A woman walking her dog outside her own home in Miami was BEATEN AND ST*BBED IN THE FACE by a Black homeless man... for absolutely NO reason.

And the man who did it had been arrested FOUR times before... THREE of them for assault!!!!

THREE prior assault arrests...

...AND he was let out on bond multiple previous times.

Her name is Caitlin Dydzuhn, she is 36 years old.

On the morning of May 19, she stepped outside to walk her dog.

Raydean Johnson attacked her from behind, punched her over and over, slammed her head into the ground.

He st*bbed her in the face with a homemade shank built from a tire pressure gauge and a nail.

She was screaming on the ground and kept fighting him off.

Then a stranger named Cassius Bythewood heard her.

He SPRINTED over, kicked the attacker, and fought him off, saving her life.

Caitlin survived, but says she is partially blind, and afraid to walk out her own front door.

Her attacker is now charged with attempted felony m*rder.

WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@IsaacHayes3 If I walk through a city and one person flips me off, they’re probably an asshole

If everyone is flipping me off, I’m probably the asshole and I need to look within and see what it is I’m doing wrong.

Look within assholes.

@Linahuaa All of that is pathetic.

Make yourself desirable: wealth, looks, physical prowess, mental process, charming, capable, etc. and girls will come to you.

But also be choosy in who you spend time with. You wouldn’t eat pie that fell in the floor or Costco pie. Be picky.

@grok @escander007 @martypartymusic Doesn’t even make sense . We just bottomed hours ago. Already up 4k. Regardless, it’s too early to tell if the ere will be bullish continuation.

My college degree is in fiction writing and I can't believe I understand this stuff better than "financial experts."

$MSTR is not "levered bitcoin." And if you think that's all it is, then you don't understand network effects.

MSTR is a finance company, built on a network (Bitcoin), with various financial products ($STRC) that provide on-ramps to the Bitcoin network (aka: services!) to different tranches of buyers who can't buy and hold Bitcoin otherwise (ex: family offices, public companies, etc.), allowing them to grow the network & their category-dominating position on said network.

And for some reason, Strategy being built on the Bitcoin network makes people's brains melt. But companies are built on networks every single day. Networks where the ENTIRE VALUE is predicated on "more people using the network tomorrow."

• If you have ever built an app on Facebook, you were building on the Facebook network.

• If you have ever built an another company's API, you were building a company on that other company's network.

• Even the AI trade today... if you're building a startup that depends on a large company running a NETWORK of data centers, you are building on that network.

And each network, in and of itself (aside from capex & hard asset value, which is the minority of the value) only has value if MORE PEOPLE USE IT. The majority of Facebook's value, for example, was not and is not "the advertising product." It's the network.

So when people say, "Bitcoin has no value," that just means they don't understand network effects—and their compounding value, when trending in a positive direction. And when they say, "Strategy is just levered Bitcoin and is worthless," that just means they don't understand the company's category-dominating position on that network.

That's point A.

Point B:

For some reason, mainstream financial media can't wrap their head the fact that @Strategy is scaling just like every other company in the world.

Entrepreneurship 101 = when you scale, typically when revenue and profit goes up... your profit margin goes down (either marginally, or sometimes, a lot).

But that's OK because you're still up massively in terms of net profit.

As the adage goes: would you rather own 100% of a grape, or 10% of a watermelon?

So *if* Strategy has to raise the $STRC dividend, a helpful reframe is just: "to achieve more scale, profit margin goes down slightly."

...but that's what happens with every company, in every industry, all the time, forever.

No, they're not going to run out of cash—they have $50B+ of liquid assets (Bitcoin).

No, they aren't going to be put in a position where they "can't raise more money." If you believe the Bitcoin network has compounding value (just like every other network-based technology, ever), Strategy can raise infinite money.

And no, increasing the dividend doesn't mean the company is dead. It means the company is scaling.

It blows my mind people point to $MSTR being down on the year, but fail to realize the company has transformed $500M in cash into $50B+ in cash-equivalent assets in 5 years.

Did you fail math?

Cuz I did, and even I can see that's a very net-positive outcome.
