MUST WATCH: CNN’s Dana Bash: “I really want to move on [from talking about the mistakes during COVID]

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: “Of course you want to move because you were part of the problem.”

Dana Bash: “No, I wasn't part of the problem.”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: “There was absolute press malpractice… Your job is a fierce skepticism toward authority. And you weren't doing that. You were beating up on people who were dissenting.”

Dana Bash: “No, you want to sit here and attack me, or do you want to have conversations about public health?”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: “Well, you're sitting here and attacking me.”

She’s a real piece of work!

Jensen Huang was asked about the people technology left behind. He didn't offer a plan. He said the gap already closed.

Huang: "All of a sudden artificial intelligence closed that technology divide."

That divide was never a gap in ability. It was a language requirement.

Huang: "Anybody could be a software programmer now."

Every tool we ever built charged admission, and the price was always a language. The press needed literacy. The engine needed the manual. The computer needed code.

Every tool in history had the same shape. The human moved toward the machine, compressed into a form it could parse. Whoever couldn't compress stayed outside.

Code was always a human speaking machine. Seventy years of people translating themselves down into something a processor would accept.

It just learned to speak back. Nothing has ever moved in that direction before.

So we sorted people by the toll and pretended we were sorting by mind. The ones who paid became skilled. Everyone else became unskilled, a word that has never once described a real person. It only meant fluent in nothing the market was buying.

Huang: "Everybody who are really gifted at their craft but maybe they don't know how to scale themselves with technology, they now have AI to help scale them."

The best cook in a village of four thousand died the best cook in a village of four thousand. Not from a shortage of ability, but from a second requirement that had nothing to do with the first.

Go back far enough in your own family and there is someone who was extraordinary at something. The world never found out. Neither did they.

Ability was never distributed by geography. Access was, and access is the only thing that got recorded.

Every system you move through in a day was built by the narrow band who could speak to a machine. Not the best ideas anyone had. The ideas that survived translation.

We have never once seen what the rest of the species would have made.

The scarcity was never in the talent. It was in the distance between holding it and reaching anyone. That distance was the product the technology industry sold.

Huang: "They're welcomed into the world's economy, not burdened by technology anymore because AI made that possible."

Burdened. Technology sold itself as leverage for a century, and the man supplying the whole industry just called it a weight. A developer you couldn't afford. A site that broke on a Sunday with no one to call.

You paid the technology industry for permission to be findable.

Nobody on earth got smarter this decade. The door stopped asking for a password.

Huang: "Five years from now, it is likely that we're all going to be more gainfully employed. The economy is gonna be more productive."

He grounds that in the labor shortage already on the books. Open work with nobody there to do it, inside an economy panicking about a machine that takes work away.

Both cannot be true. The fear says there won't be enough work for us. The ledger says there aren't enough of us for the work.

Every time a tool stopped requiring a specialist, the specialist lost a monopoly and everyone else gained a century. Writing left the scribes. The press left the church. The computer left the lab.

The barrier was also a shelter. Everyone left outside got to keep the version of themselves that was never tested.

For most of history that was a mercy. The wall did the refusing, so you never had to hear it from anyone else.

The wall is gone. Now you find out.

Nothing about you changed. The requirement did.

For the first time, the only thing between what you can do and who it reaches is whether you do it.

1/9 — My investigation uncovered that Anthony Fauci kept a diary.
What he wrote privately and what he told the country are two different stories.

All informed persons--without exception--knew by early 2020 that SARS-CoV-2 likely entered humans through a research incident.

But most chose to lie or to stay silent.

Jordan Peterson dropped a line that stopped me cold: Christ doesn’t save His harshest words for the obvious sinners. He saves them for the people sitting on the fence, playing it safe.

We’re not built for comfortable pumpkin-shell lives, he says. We’re built for radical adventure, maximum sacrifice, and riding straight into the storm.

Calling yourself a believer sounds easy until you realize what it actually demands, no half-measures, no hiding. Total commitment.

It hits different when you think about how many of us (myself included) want the security without the storm.

Tucker Carlson today: “I’ve never said Israel killed Charlie Kirk. I’ve never said that.”

Tucker Carlson 1 week ago: “He was, I believe… most likely murdered for his evolving views on Israel.”

[KanekoaTheGreat @KanekoaTheGreat]

NEW: Tucker Carlson is now denying he blamed Israel for Charlie Kirk's murder, saying "there's no proof of that" and warning against "jumping to unwarranted conclusions."

Yesterday, Tucker said:

"Charlie was not murdered for his opinions on transgenderism. Obviously... I believe he was most likely murdered for his evolving views on Israel."

So in less than 24 hours, Tucker went from declaring it was "obviously" not about transgenderism and was "most likely" about Israel to saying there's "no proof" and warning people not to jump to conclusions.

Meanwhile, @alexbruesewitz points to evidence that supports a transgender-related motive:

• Tyler Robinson reportedly had a transgender furry partner.
• Robinson allegedly told that partner he killed Charlie because Charlie "spread too much hate."
• Robinson reportedly engraved the bullet casings with: "Hey fascist! Catch!", "Bella Ciao," and "Notices bulge OwO" (a furry meme).

Hey everybody, check out how incredibly idiotic Anderson Cooper and Kara Swisher are.

January, 2025. After Elon Musk put out some posts bringing attention to the grooming gangs scandal in the UK, Anderson Cooper claimed that Musk was dredging up a decades old scandal in which about 1,400 kids were abused.

Swisher said that Musk was meddling and putting out misinformation because he wanted attention.

I'm sure they will both apologize. 😜

No, it’s not “Pride Month.” Not for me, and not for millions of others.

You’re welcome to be proud of whatever you want, in any month you like—because this is America. But what started in 1969 as a rebellion against persecution, morphed into a license for public depravity, and then morphed again into a weapon aimed at families and innocent children. Along the way it went from a day, to a week, and then a month and became official, and thereby effectively mandatory for all.

Enough!

If you’re gay and wondering why you are facing resistance now, the answer is that, with few exceptions, most of you didn’t stand up against the expansion and weaponization of “pride,” and the coercion that went with it. In that failure to resist, the gay community compromised any expectation that the rest of us should support “pride” at all, but especially the obscene display of hostility toward civilization and the families of which it is built, and for whom it exists.

If your hackles are raised by the idea that civilization is about families, realize that families are how civilizations persist through time. Not everyone needs to form one, but we all must respect and protect them—It is the foundation of what it means to be civilized.

For the small fraction of gays and lesbians who DID courageously stand up and resist expansion, coercion and the weaponization of “Pride,” I stand with you, and I have all along. But I won’t be celebrating, and I won’t be silent.

It’s not too late to join the voices of reason and to confront the insanity of what “pride” has become.

SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell on CNBC yesterday on Elon Musk:

"I think he is very misunderstood across the board. I want people to know him. In fact, he participated in some of the discussions that we’ve had over the last couple of weeks with investors.

The investors left saying: ‘I had no idea that is the man.’

I said: That’s the man I’ve worked for 24 years. I love him."

Gwynne joined SpaceX in 2002 as the company’s 11th employee. She’s awesome. What a journey.

[Leonard Choong @LeonardChoong]

Civilization > Nature.
Nature means a definite extermination of life, not just the human species as we know it.
You can choose to remain uncivilized yourself, but don't get in the way of those who are thinking beyond themselves and their generations.
In the final analysis, naturalist are simply just self defeatist wearing morally decorated clothes.
You never really cared enough.
