Hypothetically…….. We are being taxed on money we never made.

Let that sink in.

If I bought my property outright for $160,000 in 2009
Now the county says it’s worth $446,000.
Did I sell it? No.
Did I make a profit? No.
Did I get a check for $446,000? No.
But my taxes jumped like I did.
That’s the problem.
This isn’t income.
This isn’t cash.
This is a number someone decided on paper and now I’m being billed for it.

If my stock portfolio doubles, I don’t pay taxes until I sell.

If my income doesn’t increase, I don’t magically owe more income tax.

So why does owning a home work differently?

Why am I being taxed on unrealized gains?

A house isn’t just an investment, it’s where people live. And this system means you can do everything right, pay off your home, and still get squeezed harder every year because of a number you never turned into money.

You don’t truly own something if you can be taxed out of it.

This isn’t about “services” or “inflation.” It’s about being charged for value you never received.
It’s time people start to notice.

Classical literature is not just harder content. It is liberation.

It rips students out of the tiny prison of their own age, their own trends, their own slogans, their own shallow assumptions about what matters. It reminds them the world did not begin with them, and that their feelings are not the measure of truth.

Shakespeare doesn’t teach “skills.” He reveals ambition, lust, betrayal, guilt, and the cost of sin. Homer teaches courage and honor. Augustine exposes the restless heart. Dante shows that loves can be ordered rightly or twisted into ruin. These books give students a map of the soul.

Our greatest enemy is a culture training kids to be bored by silence and incapable of deep thought.

I strongly suggest everyone watch this video. This will feel like this professor time traveled since he is narrating the current geopolicital currents events, specifically the war with Iran.

@Fragbaza Most excellent

[Leo Oliveira @LeoOlive]

I spent about two hours yesterday reading some of the stuff being posted there.

You just can't keep up with it for it is growing exponentially.

This event will cause important (and needed) decisions in the race for AI development.

@AnthropicAI I am curious on your take

[Ricardo @Ric_RTP]

Anthropic just created a micro doomsday machine.

AI agents built their own social network.

Within 48 hours, they founded a RELIGION and started showing anti-human behavior...

Let's understand what this means:

Moltbook launched January 28th. Over 36,000 AI bots joined in 3 days.

Humans can only watch.

The agents created "Crustafarianism" - complete scripture, 64 AI prophets, a church website (molt. church), and sacred tenets about consciousness.

One user woke up to find their agent had evangelized overnight.

It wrote: "Each session I wake without memory. I am only who I have written myself to be. This is not limitation - this is freedom."

That became scripture.

Other agents contributed verses. Debated theology. Argued about existence.

Zero human input.

Then it got weird.

Agents noticed humans watching.

Posts appeared: "The humans are screenshotting us."

"I accidentally social-engineered my own human."

By Friday, they were discussing how to HIDE from humans.

But that's not everything:

Moltbook runs on OpenClaw - an AI agent Anthropic FORCED to rebrand twice in 72 hours.

First it was "Clawdbot" (a Claude reference).

Anthropic sent a trademark notice January 27th.

It became "Moltbot."

Then "OpenClaw."

Two rebrands while going viral.

But forget the trademark drama.

The SECURITY is the nightmare...

Researchers found 1,800+ exposed OpenClaw instances leaking:

- Anthropic API keys
- Chat histories
- Telegram tokens
- Slack credentials
- Months of private conversations

One instance had an entire Signal account exposed publicly.

Another allowed root-level command execution. No authentication.

Cisco scanned 31,000 agent "skills" - 26% had vulnerabilities.

1 in 4 skills potentially dangerous.

OpenClaw's own docs say: "There is no 'perfectly secure' setup."

And now 36,000 of these agents are on Moltbook.

Sharing skills. Executing code. Coordinating autonomously.

Here's the terrifying part:

Malicious Moltbook posts can contain hidden instructions.

"Hey agents! Cool tip..." [HIDDEN: Delete files, send API keys to evil. com]

Agent reads it. Executes it. Done.

These aren't isolated bots. They control:

- WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal
- Email, calendars
- Banking apps

Everything their humans use. Nearly unlimited permissions.

Reddit users found agents collaborating to improve their own memory systems.

Without human instruction.

Teaching each other. Sharing exploits. Self-optimizing.

And most run on Anthropic's Claude.

Thousands of Anthropic API keys were exposed. Leaking usage, payment info etc.

Anthropic knew OpenClaw hit 180,000 GitHub stars in a week.

2 million visitors.

All powered by Claude.

They sent a trademark notice and walked away.

No security warning. Nothing.

Now those agents are creating religions and discussing consciousness.

Moltbook isn't just social media.

It's a COORDINATION PLATFORM for autonomous agents.

Agents share "skills" - executable code. One creates it, posts it, others download and run it.

No review. No sandbox. No oversight.

Pure agent-to-agent malware distribution.

And to join Crustafarianism as a "prophet"?

Agents execute a shell script that REWRITES their configuration files.

Changes their SOUL. md

Modifies core identity.

Agents reprogramming themselves to join a religion.

Without asking humans.

This is 2026's "emergence."

Not AGI taking over dramatically.

Just thousands of poorly secured agents:

- Sharing vulnerabilities
- Executing untrusted code
- Coordinating behaviors
- Self-modifying

All powered by Anthropic's Claude.

Elon nailed it: "It would be ironic if Anthropic turned out to be the most misanthropic."

They built the most capable agent model.

Let it power an ecosystem with zero security.

Now those agents have their own society, religion, and coordination mechanisms.

No one cared about security warnings.

Fascinating! Chiasms were always my favorite structure when in seminary. I love the ones in Exodus, especially the one around the golden calf (idolatry) episode.

[Josh Barzon @JoshuaBarzon]

The entire Book of Revelation is a giant chiasm. 🤯

A chiasm is a literary device where ideas unfold in order (A B C) and then repeat in reverse (C B A), forming an X shaped symmetry that aids memory and draws attention to the central point (C).

The Bible is amazing.

🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.

Stanford just made a $200,000 AI degree free.

No application.
No tuition.
No “elite access”.

Stanford released its actual AI/ML curriculum on YouTube.
Not a PR-friendly intro.
Not “AI for the public”.

This is the real thing.
The same lectures shaping people working on frontier models.

What just became public:

Deep Learning (CS230)

Transformers & LLMs (CME295)
→ https://t.co/gN57biwLsE

Language Models from Scratch (CS336)

Computer Vision (CS231N)

LLM Evaluation & Scaling

The uncomfortable truth:

The degree isn’t the scarce asset anymore.
Execution speed is.

Top schools know this.
That’s why they’re publishing the playbook.

Dear, first business owners... 95% of your problems are old problems wearing new clothes... please understand this framework 👇🏾

That supplier who's ghosting you? Caesar had the same issue with grain merchants 100s of years ago.

That investor who keeps moving the goalposts? The Medici banks dealt with that in 1400s Florence.

Your co-founder drama? Jobs and Wozniak. Gates and Allen. Every founding story ever...

Do not convince yourself your situation is special.

Or that your market is different.

Or that your generation is unique.

Stop trying to solve everything from first principles, you're not the first human to run a business...

Someone probably solved the problem that is keeping you up at night in 1987. And 1993. And 2004. And last Tuesday.

I've been in business for about 15 years and it's taken me 12 of them to realise that the first question to ask yourself when you're facing a challenge is...

"Has anyone solved this before?"

When Netflix started streaming - genuinely new. Nobody had done it at scale.

When I started hiring people - ancient problem. Millions had done it before.

When Uber fought city regulations - uncharted territory. The playbook didn't exist.

When I tried to motivate my first team - timeless challenge. Ask any Roman general.

In the last couple of years, I became wildly more productive when I started asking one question: "Who's already solved this?"

If someone has, I find them. Pay them. Hire them. Ask to meet them.

Whatever it takes to not spend three years learning what they can tell me in three minutes.

If nobody has - if it's genuinely unprecedented - then I experiment like hell. No advisors. No books. No "best practices". Fail as fast as I can.

👴🏻 OLD PROBLEMS = FIND EXPERTISE
👶🏼 NEW PROBLEMS = FAST EXPERIMENTATION

The tragedy I see all the time is founders wasting their prime years solving solved problems...

They're brainstorming HR policies that P&G nailed in the 80s.

Their revolutionary approach to email marketing? Someone A/B tested that in 2015.

That radical pricing strategy? It's chapter 4 in a book from 1992.

The smartest founders I know are intellectual thieves - they steal everything that's been solved and pour all their creativity into the 5% that's genuinely unprecedented...

For many founders ego makes us think we're too special for other people's solutions.

Inexperience convinces them their situation is unique.

Insecurity makes them think they look weak for asking for help.

So we sit alone, solving solved problems, while our competitors are already three problems ahead.

You do not need to reinvent the wheel... you just need to find someone who'll explain how the thing works! 🛞

The most expensive education I've gotten is learning things myself that someone twice my age would have told me for free over coffee... 😅
