Good. The UN is pure garbage - a bloated corrupt carcass with noble origins that has long outlived any pretense of its usefulness.

It’s now a playground for dictators and do-nothings, and its impending financial implosion is sweet justice.

One of the most corrosive forces has been D.E.I and so far, the “D” tends to attract the most scorn.

But I think so much of our current predicament is because of the “I”

The West *included* too many bad actors. Into the UN. Into the WHO. Into the WTO.

The UN was structurally designed to fail once nefarious actors and the entire Global South was given equal participation rights.

That’s what poisoned the post WWII order.

I floated this concept to administration a week ago @realDonaldTrump likes it. already approved bonus depreciation in year one for institutions, just modify to include home owners. The math:
1) Buy $500,000 home. Land value $100k, home accessed at $400k
2) Accelerate depreciation from 27 years (400k/27) to year one.
3) The depreciation (paper loss) is taken against earned income until exhausted.
4) Cost basis of purchase is now $100k.
5) Sell the house for $800k and tax is recaptured from new cost basis.
5) Trump will propose to extend cap gains on homes from $500k to $5M.
This would create the biggest house boom in American history & do more for home owners than even lowering mortgage rates.

why not just raise income tax rates?

because your real intent is not to just “provide healthcare”.

you’re masking that you are proposing the creation of, for the first time in the 250 years of this American republic, an organized government seizure of private property from citizens.

you’re calling it a “wealth tax” or a “billionaires tax” or “millionaires tax” or whatever nom du jour polls well. but at the end of the day, it’s the seizure of private property from citizens by the government. citizens that earned money, paid their fair taxes on those earnings (53% if they live in California) and are now being told they need to hand over after-tax assets because the government has failed to provide promised services with the revenue it’s collected, and are now re-casting their own failure to be a socio-economic inequity that must be justly resolved... a slippery slope that has never gone anywhere good (see economic effects in USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, France and Norway wealth tax etc.)

the American founders fled tyranny in Europe and this amazing nation was populated by immigrants (myself and your parents) from around the world not just looking for a “better life” but for a place where they could have freedom from tyrannical governments that can take what they want from private citizens. a great nation borne of property rights, the rule of law, and endowed freedoms to believe, speak, or act. these principles led to the greatest run of innovations, successes, and widespread increase in prosperity, for all citizens, ever seen.

the citizens, the individuals, not the institutions, delivered this progress. those who invented, who toiled, who bled, who sacrificed, who took risk and persevered, who led, and who changed the world, are not charlatans, kleptocrats, or oligarchs. they’re what made us all better off. prosperity is a measure of america’s success, not its failure.

it is your principle that is so offensive, as evidenced by the broad disdain for your flippant flirtation with the darkest of human fantasy - socialism. you and other neo-socialists have led so many of us to reflect on America’s history and what it is becoming. that now leads so many to consider, so unnecessarily, leaving their homes for a place where everyone stands up to shout down the principle you suggest. because if your ideas are now considered moderate, it’s clear this titanic is sinking.

that a “simple tax” of taking assets that have been earned, through toil and tribulation, rightly taxed, and preserved, should now be unjustly seized, is your solution to a problem of obvious government mismanagement and outright fraud, tells us that your true motivation lies not in giving people healthcare but in cutting down success and deleting the system of prosperity and opportunity for all.

i don’t care, and neither should anyone else, what the sum total market value of a private citizens private assets might be. it is none of my business and should be none of yours. because, again, once you open that pandora’s box, we might as well study Lord of the Flies … there is literally nothing stopping 51% of citizens demanding that their government go out and seize 100% of the private property of the 49%.

want to give healthcare to people in need? do your job and fix healthcare. make it affordable. want to be lazy about it? then do your job lazily and raise income taxes.

want to take private property from private citizens who have paid their fair share of taxes and legally earned their property, then honestly declare that it is envy, not inequity, that you strive to resolve…

We are on the cusp of a profound change in the field of mathematics. Vibe proving is here.

Aristotle from @HarmonicMath just proved Erdos Problem #124 in @leanprover, all by itself. This problem has been open for nearly 30 years since conjectured in the paper “Complete sequences of sets of integer powers” in the journal Acta Arithmetica.

Boris Alexeev ran this problem using a beta version of Aristotle, recently updated to have stronger reasoning ability and a natural language interface.

Mathematical superintelligence is getting closer by the minute, and I’m confident it will change and dramatically accelerate progress in mathematics and all dependent fields.

The Planck scale is a set of fundamental physical measurements where the effects of quantum gravity are thought to become significant.

The Lagrangian for the Standard Model of particle physics, often humorously referred to as "The theory of everything (so far)" because it describes all known fundamental particles and forces except gravity.

Both those explanations are too low-level. Many problems must have contributed. Rather than try to disentangle them, it's better to wonder why they weren't solved. The fundamental thing was lack of innovation. If the Romans had had the Maxim Gun, all those other factors would not be relevant. Same for Byzantium. None of the ancient empires had what it takes to last: an Enlightenment.

This is the most disgraceful thing I’ve ever seen.

Commanders fans booed President Trump while he was literally enlisting troops into the United States military.

Pure trash.
