People who want to appear moral are attracted to the left.

People who want to appear rational are attracted to the right.

Effective Altruism lets you appear rational and moral - the ultimate ego trip.

@SenRandPaul I wish we had a constitutional amendment that forces a real budget passed every year.. I’d write it that if one wasn’t passed by April, three random senators and 6 house reps from each party lost their jobs immediately!

@Polymarket Fear flavor of the month

@RepLuna As long as colleges are responsible for the interest charged above the 2% … if that’s the case I’d be for it. University have irresponsibility spent and inflated these prices

[Seth Conley @SethConley17]

@sama In both your scenarios… government regulatory control compounds the problem exponentially. A better solution would be a legal system that holds AI companies liable for damage.

[Naval @naval]

On the way to killing all of us, AI will likely kill some of us.

In that case, who’s liable?

[Seth Conley @SethConley17]

@sama Fear of open source? Your thirst for gov granted monopoly is disgraceful

[Seth Conley @SethConley17]

@DarioAmodei Part two and three of your plan id nickname idiotic and fantasy! Part two: please regulate us into a monopoly.. part three: this is how we can stop China from kicking our tails..

@offensive_guru Uh…. Not enough guys on the line of scrimmage.. run it back

@SecScottBessent Reich is a pseudo scientist… agree don’t waste your time on him

Jeff Bezos: "We don't have a revenue problem in this country. We already have the most progressive tax system in the world.”

“The Top 1% of taxpayers pay 40% of all taxes.”

“The bottom 50% pay just 3%. We have a spending problem."

[Seth Conley @SethConley17]

@SenSanders I’d only you had more money…. What a joke! Tax revenue is not the problem sir. These are empty promises to voting blocks, many are sadly falling for your propaganda. For shame

[Seth Conley @SethConley17]

@SenSanders So misleading.. high earners are kicked out of social security taxation at a determined income level…. they are also capped on the benefit side!!! Are you suggesting he gets a social security benefit up to his current income vs his current probable benefit of $4000 a month?

[Seth Conley @SethConley17]

@Polymarket That’s dumb

[Seth Conley @SethConley17]

@BernieSanders Wow… you’re literally making the point that anything government puts their hands on explodes in price….

Every “save the world” scheme starts by handing the money and power to the schemers first.

[Krzysztof Szczawinski 🇵🇱 @Kristof_Poland]

The gun is the most misunderstood object in Western civilization. Not a weapon. A technology. The technology that made the idea of equality physically real.

1. The longbow democratized warfare – a peasant could kill a knight with a stick and a string, and Agincourt proved it. The gun completed the process. The armored warrior class whose claim to social dominance rested on physical superiority became obsolete. The aristocratic monopoly on violence ended not with a philosophy but with a mechanism. The gun is the physical enforcement of the idea that all men are created equal. Which is why the American founders put it in the second amendment – not as an afterthought, but as the guarantee of everything else.

2. The Roman citizen had the right to bear arms. The Greek citizen had it. The English yeoman had it. The Swiss canton built its entire civilization on it. The disarming of the population has always been, in every civilization, in every century, the first act of the government that intends to stop being answerable to that population. Show me a disarmed population and I will show you a population that lost something else shortly after.

3. The Second Amendment is not about hunting. It is not about sport. It is about the relationship between the armed citizen and the state – the explicit constitutional acknowledgment that the citizen’s right to defend himself, his family, and his civilization against any threat, including the government itself, is not granted by the state and cannot be revoked by it. Power flows upward from the armed citizen, not downward from the armed state.

4. The gun defends the family. The woman alone with her children. The farmer on the edge of civilization. The shopkeeper in the neighborhood the police no longer patrol. The gun is the equalizer – the technology that makes the physical difference between a large man and a small woman irrelevant. Every argument for disarmament is, at its core, an argument that the state will protect you better than you can protect yourself. The evidence for this proposition is not encouraging.

5. In Europe, the disarmament is now nearly complete – and it happened precisely as the state’s ability and willingness to protect its citizens began to decline. The timing is not coincidental. A population that cannot defend itself must trust the state to defend it – which is a population that cannot effectively question whether the state is doing so. The dependency is the design.

6. The gun is a civilizational technology in the deepest sense: it requires responsibility, judgment, and the willingness to accept the consequences of your decisions. You cannot outsource it. You cannot have a committee fire it. It is the most anti-bureaucratic object ever invented – a direct, personal, consequential instrument that puts the full weight of the decision on the individual holding it. Which is precisely why the administrative state finds it intolerable. Not because it is dangerous. Because it is sovereign.

7. The family that can defend itself does not depend on the state for its most fundamental security. The civilization that can defend itself has not yet outsourced its survival to an institution that will negotiate the terms of that survival on its own behalf. The gun determines who controls violence – and therefore who controls everything that violence can threaten. Which is everything. The Sobieski who rode down the hill had a sword and sixty thousand horsemen. The equivalent today is the armed citizen who understands what he is defending and why. Every civilization that forgot this discovered it the hard way. The ones that remembered it are still here.

@BernieSanders What percentage of income confiscation through taxes is obscene? Let’s set the parameters of your ideas before we talk about poor and rich

[Seth Conley @SethConley17]

@bscholl Get rid of overhead bag storage. Fix the bag issue at the bag drop. Overhead bags cause unnecessary delays on and off the plane! Half of passengers can’t physically put the bag up!
