@RealitySalesman Shocking?

She's not kidding. North Texas is full of non-assimilated jeets and sand people and it's been getting worse. Literally every other restaurant is Indian food or halal. You can't go outside without seeing swarms of them.

It's time to stop asking them nicely to leave. And the same goes for the traitor politicians who keep bringing them in.

@arisu_archive What do you think the thing on her ankle is?

@kono_kono82 She prayed for a set of miracles, and her faith was rewarded 🙏

@AZ_Wise1 @ChristianHeiens My understanding is it's not supposed to be helpful for long-term prices. It's supposed to be helpful for short-term prices because we're still not at the two-year point for rebuilding beef herds.

@TheoRavelstein @ChristianHeiens Honest question here. Since you're stating you generally like him, would you mind listing some things about his achievements or stances that you approve of?

[Phaeron @Phaeron896]

@ChristianHeiens Massie is a mystery to me. He is so self contradictory and ridiculous that I have no idea what motivates him or who would like him.

@TheCartelDel When you're that smart, I feel like you can do whatever the hell you want with your hair.

@HarveyTheNerdy Is Millennium a joke to you?

[Roman Helmet Guy @romanhelmetguy]

Genuinely I have no theory of mind for why the nepo baby daughter of a hated hundred-billionaire who lobbied all his life for open borders and offshoring and every other possible policy that could destroy the careers of promising young American men would use daddy’s money to get herself a public-facing job at the WSJ just to make breathless videos like this pretending not to understand why, after being discriminated against all their lives and forced to compete with every foreigner on Earth to own even an inch of the American soil that is their birthright, an increasing number of young American men would rather burn the entire system to the ground than contribute to a society that proclaims they themselves and their ancestors to be the source of all worldly evil and has dedicated itself to their destruction.

That being said: Young men, do not drop out. Do not give up hope. The only way out is through.

I am a rancher. Biden ordered any rancher with a Federal contract to slaughter their herds and over turn their crops. I do not have a contract . Many do. Our cattle need more time. From birth to market a good 2 yrs but we are already in over a yr and a half. We need a few more months before we can slaughter. So what Trump did here helps everyone and the demand. I had a Rumble channel with all ranchers yelling at you all to pay attention what Biden is doing. No one was listening.

We ignored Tomi Lahren before, and Roe was overturned

Imagine what can be accomplished if we ignore her again

"Luxury belief" is too narrow an explanation to capture the majority opposition to data centers.

It has much more to do with basic primate retardation during times of perceived resource scarcity — not "my status affords me the luxury of this belief," but "I am afraid of losing my status."

AI has come about at the least opportune time. We're at the fag-end of a social democratic system that has made many fundamentals - energy & utilities, hiring & firing, housing & infrastructure - prohibitively expensive, creating shortages.

In times of perceived resource scarcity, humans adopt ultra-short-term and zero-sum thinking. It's basic Robbers Cave psychology, and is the primary reason wealth is rare and poverty the default condition of our species.

When threatened by poverty, the majority adopts behaviours that create poverty.

We might have been due a reckoning with the underlying causes, all of which predate AI by decades, except that AI has now arrived.

It provides politicians and voters a quick and easy scapegoat, a handy catch-all excuse that absolves them of blame for the world they have created.

The pre-rational nature of this opposition explains why the actual arguments against AI and data centers are so insane, contradictory, and fundamentally wrong.

Opposition to AI and data centers does not result *from* these arguments. It cannot, because the arguments are baseless.

Data centers do not consume vast amounts of drinking water, they are not primarily responsible for high energy prices, they are some of the least polluting facilities at their scale, they are drivers of job creation, they bring in so much tax revenue that it exerts downward pressure on local tax rates, the majority view in economics is that AI will disrupt but be a significant net job-creator in the short-medium term, etc.

All of this is empirical truth, easily but rarely checked. Citing these truths makes no difference to public opinion because public opinion was never formed by these arguments.

These arguments are poor attempts to justify the pre-rational. Rebut one, and someone will invent another.

It is a psychology that goes in search of arguments. Which is why you see absurdities in the polling data: people would prefer coal-fired power plants to be built in their communities over data centers, despite coal-fired plants actually representing what the public claims to hate about data centers.

The entire case against them resembles a child doing clumsy post-hoc arguments for being given all the sweets.

The child has not actually reasoned himself into wanting sweets — he wants the sweets, and must come up with compelling reasons, for his audience, to pretend the cause is rational.

Being pre-rational, it is in large part culturally dependent. You do not see anything like the same hostility toward AI in Japan as you do in the UK/US.

The history of technology in the West is traumatic. Similar psychoses created widespread public opposition to electricity, industrialisation, and the railways.

Had economic conditions been less favourable - had it launched in the '70s or the 2010s - the internet would likely have seen more public opposition.

Needless to say, all these things happened anyway, and we are all vastly richer as a result.

The solution to this is to:

1) Bribe the public as much as is possible (data centers lower local tax rates unless politicians spend all the proceeds elsewhere).

2) Accommodate where practical (build near but not within dense population centers).

3) Build lots of power plants, liberalise planning and environmental legislation, open all the taps. Emphasise job creation, invest in electricity supply, correlate data centers with more jobs and cheaper energy.

4) Ignore just about everything else the public claims to hate about data centers, because they're lying to themselves and to you.

@arisu_archive I haven't forgotten that she launched a ballistic missile at a peace conference that her own people and Sensei were attending. Still waiting for the day she has any sort of comeuppance for that
