@StaceyDales @nflnetwork @NFLGameDay That was an awesome review on the Packers and their opportunity. I could feel it, love the energy!

[StaceyDales @StaceyDales]

Of course we’re all still talking about Micah Parsons and the Packers, and frankly should be after what we witnessed in the span of four days…

If you think all of us are united in the face of tragedy, go watch Hassan Pikers recent video or go to Blue Sky.

We do not stand against some people enough. Anyone who cheers the death of a fellow citizen who pushes for free speech, faith, freedom and family is an enemy.

.@naval: Are we running out of resources?

No, we’ve never run out of a single resource, ever. There’s not a single resource you could point to that was a resource in the classic commodity sense that had any real value, where we ran out in some harmful way.

Because technology is the act of substituting away from one resource to another. As we ran out of burning wood, we started burning coal. As we ran out of coal—we didn’t actually run out of coal, but we went from coal to oil. And before we could even run out of oil, despite all the peak oil nonsense around the year 2000, we’ve gotten nuclear, we’ve got solar, we’ve got wind.

The universe is full of unlimited resources. The universe, the multiverse, whichever version you take, is staggeringly large, way beyond your ability to cause to run out of resources. We haven’t even wrapped a Dyson sphere around the sun and extracted all of that energy. There is unlimited energy. Even in the so-called empty cubic meter of space, there’s plenty of energy.

It’s literally just a question of knowledge. Dark matter, dark energy, E=MC^2, nuclear fusion—there’s unlimited energy. The only thing that’s holding us back is knowledge. The same is true of any resource.

Are we running out of wood? No. We can grow wood, we can grow unlimited trees. We can plant unlimited trees. So eventually, we might find a future civilization may be able to synthesize trees, maybe it’ll synthesize long-dead trees. So it is always a question of knowledge.

So that should put the resource argument to rest, although it won’t. Because there are people who are dogmatically committed to the idea that we’re running out of resources and they’re not fallibilists, to use your earlier phrase, and they’re not going to revise their worldview based on mere logic.

Don’t live together when you’re dating. If you date for a while and start planning for more, like marriage, then it could make sense to start addressing these issues before getting married.

Recently read an intersting book called Chatter - The Voice in our Head, Why it Matters and How to Harness it. Author: @ethan_kross It was insightful as to how a person can bury themselves with negative self talk and how to get out of the vicious cycle. Tools in the back are $

Marc Andreessen: if you're the parents of a smart kid where I grew up [rural Wisconsin] and you think you're going to get them into a top university in this country, you're fooling yourself...

What level of untapped talent exists in this country that a combination of DEI and immigration have basically cut out of the loop for the last 50 years?

Marc: Nobody wants to talk about, but I've started to talk about the intersection of DEI and immigration that has really warped our perceptions on high skilled immigration over the last 50 years.

You look at the foreign enrollment rates at the top universities, which went from 2 or 3 or 4 percent 50 years ago or whatever to 27% or 30% or 50%...

Joe: Columbia's over half.

Marc: 70% or whatever it is. And so there's been this massive transformation in who gets educated. And then there's been this massive transformation of who gets admitted through affirmative action, as we now know it, DEI.

This goes straight to the political divide in the country, which is, if you're parents of a kid where I grew up [rural Wisconsin] and you've got a smart kid and you think you're going to get them into, you know, a top university in this country, like you're fooling yourself.

There is this really fundamental question which is, what level of untapped talent exists in this country that a combination of DEI and immigration have basically cut out of the loop for the last 50 years?

And how long can we have this story to everybody in the Midwest and in the South that says, sorry, because of historical oppression, your kids are SOL.
