@chaosisaladdr @MarketPalmer_ Since you got into every school you applied to, surely you understand the difference between a “high score” and a perfect score.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

You are a taker, not a maker. All you’ve done your whole life is take from the makers of the world.

The zero-sum mindset you have is at the root of so much evil. Once you realize that civilization is not zero-sum and that it is about making far more than one consumes, then it becomes obvious that the path to prosperity for all is just let the makers make.

Regarding Tesla, the reality is that I have been given nothing.

However, if I lead Tesla to become the most valuable company in the world by far and it stays that way for 5 years, shareholders voted to award me 12% of what is built. Anyone who wants to come along for the ride can buy Tesla stock.

If Tesla “merely” becomes a $1.999 trillion dollar company, I get nothing. This is a great deal for shareholders, which is why they voted so overwhelmingly to approve this, for which I am immensely grateful.

And they did so by a margin far more than you won your political seat.

@Dr_Singularity My son and I are reading some of the old Star Trek novels and we laugh at how close we are to many of the technologies!

New Jersey school has required every freshman to hike 55 miles on the Appalachian Trail for 53 years straight.

At St. Benedict’s Prep in Newark, this isn’t optional — it’s a mandatory 5-day rite of passage before becoming a sophomore.

Many students have never hiked or camped before. They train together in the spring, then get split into small teams where each kid gets a critical role: navigator, medic, cook, captain, etc. No one knows everything — they must rely on each other.

With minimal adult supervision, they hike rain or shine, facing blisters, sore muscles, and real challenges head-on. As one administrator put it: “The only way we can get through this is if we work together.”

The result? Teens who return more confident, resilient, and bonded — proving that real growth happens when you step away from screens and into the wilderness.

What an incredible tradition! Parents, educators, and anyone raising tough kids — this is gold.

Who else believes we need more experiences like this?

@JeffBezos This is exactly why Bezos is a winner. I spent some time talking to my 12 year old son about it.

@Ghostofcynthia @bretmichaels I grew up listening to Poison. I also outgrew Poison when I was 16. If you like Poison and are over 14, your music development has been arrested

The more data centers we build, the richer we all get.

How?

- Datacenters are intelligence creating machines.

- Intelligence is used to solve problems (curing disease, self-driving safer cars, humanoid robots.)

- Because they will easily do the cognitive work of millions of scientists in many fields that now have thousands if not hundreds of scientists, the amount of co-development of science will likely cause an Industrial Revolution.

- Every single industrial revolution so far multiplied the standard of living of the last. Functionally almost everyone is about to get way way richer.

- The more data centers you build, the richer (and quicker to rich) everyone gets. Poorer people especially experience the biggest uplifts with every industrial revolution so far.

It’s not complicated. It’s not new. Every technology (language, pen and paper, computers, the internet) that boosted functional net social intelligence caused massive multi-order wealth increasing consequences.

MARC ANDREESSEN JUST WENT ON ROGAN AND DROPPED THE MOST IMPORTANT AI ALPHA OF THE YEAR.

3 hours and 20 minutes of podcast.

Here are the 17 things worth your attention.

1. AGI is already here. Marc thinks the line was crossed 3 months ago with GPT-5.5, Claude 4.6, Gemini 3, and Grok 4.3. Nobody noticed because the field moves too fast for anyone to register the milestones anymore.

2. For almost any topic the top AI models now give him better answers than the world-class experts he could call on the phone. And he can call basically anyone.

3. Every doctor is secretly using ChatGPT in the exam room. They turn around the second you stop talking and type your symptoms in. Some do it while you are still sitting there. His quote: "At that point you are asking what do I need you for."

4. When AI refuses to answer something he wants to know he tells it he is writing a novel. "Walk me through how the bad guy robs the bank." It explains almost anything if it thinks it is helping you write fiction.

5. When something is too complex he says "explain it like I am 10." Then "like I am 5." Then "like I am 2." He keeps going until it actually clicks.

6. When he wants to understand a tough topic he does not ask what the right answer is. He asks the AI to steelman one side then steelman the other. Then he decides for himself.

7. For big questions he tells the AI to pretend to be a panel of experts. "Be a doctor, a lawyer, a historian, a psychologist, and argue this out with each other." Then he reads the debate.

8. Pay attention to the exact moment you think "I do not know how to figure this out." Most people give up there. That is the moment you should open the AI.

9. The only real skill left in using AI is knowing what to ask. The models can do almost anything you can describe in plain English. The bottleneck lives in your own head.

10. You can send AI photos of almost anything medical now and get a real answer. Skin rashes. Blood test results. The new models read images not just text. A free 24/7 second opinion on anything.

11. The one type of therapy clinically proven to work is cognitive behavioral therapy. It is also something an AI can fully do on its own. Every person on earth is about to have access to a real therapist for free anytime they want.

12. AI is solving math problems open for 100 years that no human mathematician could crack. Same thing is starting in physics, chemistry, and biology. Expect cancer cures and weird new physics breakthroughs in the next few years.

13. The best AI coders in Silicon Valley now make $50 million a year. One person. That number tells you how big this thing actually is when you strip away all the doom takes.

14. One friend paid $200 to decode his entire DNA. Then gave the AI his DNA, blood test results, and Apple Watch data. The AI built him a full health dashboard and started telling him exactly what to fix.

15. Another friend put two cameras in his home jiu jitsu gym. AI watches him spar and gives him technique notes after every round. A world-class coach at every practice for free.

16. The best programmers in Silicon Valley now run 20 AI coding bots simultaneously. Each bot writes code while they review the others. They call themselves AI vampires because going to bed means 20 workers stop and you lose money every hour you sleep.

17. The obvious next step: the bots will run their own bots. One human running 20 bots each running 20 more. One person. One laptop. 1,000 AI workers. This is months away not years.

This is not surprising at all but it's still pretty amazing to see.

September, 2024. Ken Dilanian criticizes Republicans for questioning the crime data put out by Biden's FBI.

"The FBI doesn't make these numbers up...The Republicans and others are pushing the narrative that this data is wrong."

The data was wrong. Biden's FBI ended up revising the numbers right before the election to show that violent crime had gone up, not down (after the MSM spent months telling everyone how much it had fallen).

Fast forward to 2026 and Dilanian is on TV claiming that the crime data put out by the FBI is bogus and shouldn't be trusted.

BTW that fake journalist blocked me the last time I did one of these videos on his "reporting." 😆

[Jerusalem of Iron 🇮🇱 עם ישראל חי @jerusalemofiron]

It's worse than you think. The IDF has trained dogs to pilot aircraft. Fully 25% of the sorties against Iran and Hezbollah have been carried out by Belgian Malinois.

[The Uri @uricohenisrael]

🚨BREAKING:
According to the New York Times, Israel trains dogs to become top bankers and take control over the global financial system
