96% of Jews in Poland were murdered by the Nazis. That is genocide.

3% of Gaza’s population, mostly male combatants, died in the war they started. That is not genocide.

I was asked again last night why I’m so pro-Israel. A thousand reasons I said, and then gave him just this one: For years & years & years, Israel has quite literally been on the front lines fighting against one of modernity’s greatest threats- Islamism & Islamic terrorism. Israel has been forced to fight this fight in their own back yard year after year. The modern world/free world/Western world owes Israel a great debt of gratitude for fighting this fight.

This is really pathetic. To go to war without planning a response to what is clearly your enemies strongest strategic play is unforgivable.

If you're interested in understanding the phenomenon that @realDonaldTrump is, I suggest you read "Selfishness Without a Self," by Ayn Rand (Philosophy: Who Needs It?).

A couple of excerpts: "such a person, left to his own devices, becomes a kind of intellectual hobo, roaming about as an eclectic second-hander or brainpicker, snatching bits of ideas at random, switching them at whim, with only one constant in his behavior: the drifting from group to group, the need to cling to people, any sort of people, and to manipulate them."

"The tribal lone wolf has no firsthand grasp of values. He senses that this is a lack he must conceal at any price--and that this issue, for him, is the hardest one to fake. The whims that guide him and switch from moment to moment or from year to year, cannot help him to conceive of an inner state of lifelong dedication to one's chosen values. His whims condition him to the opposite: they automatize his avoidance of any permanent commitment to anything or anyone. Without personal values, a man can have no sense of right or wrong. The tribal lone wolf is an amoralist all the way down."

@TrustlessState I agree in spirit but think it’s a slippery slope to tell people what they can or cannot wear, especially when it comes to religious expression

“We evolved to hunt and gather and live in nature, but then we changed everything”

Has it occurred to anyone that we evolved to change everything?

"Such is the future you are capable of winning. It requires a struggle, like any human
value. But all life is a purposeful struggle, and your only choice is the choice of a goal."

You are under no obligation to remain the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, or even a day ago. You are here to create yourself, continuously.

I challenge @RobertKennedyJr to a debate on energy and climate.

Specifically, should the world rapidly reduce fossil fuel use to prevent climate catastrophe?

RFK has argued yes repeatedly on large platforms, with no real opposition. He is dead wrong.

Will you host, @joerogan?

[Sam Altman @sama]

one of the easiest policy wins i can imagine for the US is to reform high-skill immigration.

the fact that many of the most talented people in the world want to be here is a hard-won gift; embracing them is the key to keeping it that way.

hard to get this back if we lose it.

[Yaron Brook @yaronbrook]

Why is anyone surprised that the debt ceiling deal does not cut spending (does opposite)?
When have Republicans ever really fought for cuts? And when they had power (House, Senate & White House), when did they ever reduce spending? Never!
They are Statists!

[Nikos Sotirakopoulos @Nikos_17]

Rand’s hot take: being selfish doesn’t mean be a prick.
Being self-interested = do what's REALLY good for you, using your mind.
Creating enemies & accumulating skeletons in your closet
is the opposite of genuine self-interest.
It will catch up with you, with horrible consequences
