The richest guy on Earth SHOULD be the guy making cutting edge cars and rockets instead of dudes who sell purses and perfumes or dudes who run investment firms or dudes who made Facebook.

What happens when you post a real Monet and say it’s AI? The coolest art social experiment I’ve seen in a while. Thank you @SHL0MS

This is such sad populism

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

For most of our country’s history

the federal government was funded by tariffs, there was no income tax, the budget was (mostly) balanced, and federal spending was less than 10% of GDP.

Tbh @ericweinstein's https://t.co/bF64SYionn essay on the relevance of Kayfabe to 21st Century politics / culture was one of the deepest cultural insights of the past 20 years.

@JakeOrthwein @ericweinstein @ChrisWillx A potential 4th video for frame problems?

[Devyn Pope @DevynAxlPope]

@JakeOrthwein incredible work on Frame Problems! Is part 3 (reality shoots) still in the cards?

The force of self-belief will get you everywhere.

What surprises most, is that people who are confident often have very little difference in skill set from those that are not...

Headspace just determines if you take the chance.
...And keep taking them.

@ninjaccount You owe me two prizes from 2022 😉

@ericweinstein Making the physics behind UFOs anti-interesting, and people reaching out to you that rescind their offers, what's the intended outcome of a potential psy-op like this?

@ericweinstein The very best! Learned more from you than academia

@TonyLoffreda @CanadaEO @nationalpost @ericweinstein Completely agree with the characterization in principle, i'm concerned about any requirement (or lack thereof) of an arms-length relationship to the business owner. Otherwise, you're transferring wealth to your family, now with tax preference.

@ericweinstein This podcast has been more critical for my thought maturation than any institutional learning. We can only track the Spaces you're in so well.. any episodes that you haven't released yet @ericweinstein?
