moral fashion doesnt have election-shaped cliffs.
this is state enforced morality

I want to ask the students screaming โDeath to Americaโ, do you have any idea what happens when American values die?
Because I do.
My family fled Iran, a country where freedom died. You donโt know what you have until itโs gone.
You think America is oppressive because you have never experienced real oppression.
You think silence is violence because youโve never been silenced.
You think words are dangerous because you have never watched a government drag someone away for speaking them.
You think capitalism is evil because you have never stood in a bread line.
You think borders are immoral because you have never had to flee across one.
You think revolution is romantic because you have never had a revolution take everything from you.
I have.
And thatโs why I refuse to be quiet.
The fact this one dude - by himself - can walk into any state and find blatant fraud everywhere he goes proves two things: 1) the fraud is rampant at an unprecedented scale and 2) the government agencies who are supposed to protect our tax dollars are either completely incompetent or complicit in the fraud.
Inaction is worse than incorrect action.
โMost failures are one-time costs.
Most regrets are recurring costs.
The pain of inaction stings longer than the pain of incorrect action.โ โ @JamesClear
ELON MUSK'S ADVICE FOR ENTREPRENEURS:
โANYONE WHO WANTS TO MAKE MORE THAN THEY TAKE HAS MY RESPECT.โ
โTHE MAIN THING YOU SHOULD AIM FOR IS TO MAKE MORE THAN YOU TAKE...
AND BE A NET CONTRIBUTOR TO SOCIETY.โ
โDON'T CHASE MONEY.
CHASE BUILDING USEFUL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.
IF YOU DO THAT, MONEY WILL COME AS A NATURAL CONSEQUENCE.โ
โEXPECT TO GRIND SUPER HARD.
ACCEPT THERE'S A MEANINGFUL CHANCE OF FAILURE.
JUST FOCUS ON ONE THING...
ARE YOU A VALUE CREATOR?โ
I've received multiple media requests today asking for comment on my recent call to ban mosques in America from blaring the Muslim call to prayer through loudspeakers 5 times a day across our cities.
Just to save time, here's my official response:
Yes, I 100% want to ban mosques in America from blaring the Muslim call to prayer through loudspeakers 5 times a day across our cities.
Hope this clarifies everything and have a great weekend!
Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath "Bro, there is no failure."
"That is what other people think of you to keep you down. There's no failure. If you were left on an island and it happened, you would just brush it off and move on. It's everybody else that you think is judging you. But then, here's the secret. They don't give a fuck about you. They are living their own lives. So it's your perception of what they think of you."
"There is no failure. There's do and learn. Do and learn. Do and learn. Do and learn."
