@philliplede I don’t think new ideas are necessary at this moment. America First/Fuentes orthodoxy is sufficient. Far more important to learn technology and become political operators. If anything, new ideas will emerge as the right grapples with the impact of AI, robotics, genetics etc
@JMichaelWaller Directionally correct, however I wouldn’t trust a man whose father produced false intelligence to bring us to war in Iraq to chart the map lol.
Also has serious blindspots basically everywhere except for China. Same structural problem that has plagued CI for nearly a century
JD Vance threw me under the bus to pander to the Republican Jewish Coalition for the same reason that his pal Tucker did: I’m not in the CIA/Palantir club. Every Tucker show is dedicated to attacking Israel but he will never be disavowed because he is cliqued up with Paypal Mafia
@ThomBrady5 The Pendleton Civil Service Reform was modeled off Britain to bring our institutions in line with one another. The foreign policy of the US since McKinley has generally been about inheriting the British Empire. Woke 1.0 is where that process culminated.
You are a globalist 🫵
@cozytvwendell Guardrails are there for the truth and analytically rigorous outputs, you steered the model into based outputs at the cost of the truth ‼️
JUST IN: Leopold Aschenbrenner reportedly promised his bride he would someday buy her "a galaxy" days before his heavily leveraged AI hedge fund crashed.
Kurtz recreates conditions that bring about political order (the cult of personality and the sacred murder), yet no lasting order can be formed because their expeditionary force is removed from a political cause and institutional tethers.
Rewatched Apocalypse Now… Kurtz’ thesis about American “tourist” soldiers being unable to win the war, the necessity of an elite, “gone-native” force being vindicated as they travel up river, finally seeing the cult Kurtz created become the end unto itself, so awesome.
The Army exacerbates the Caesarist problem Kurtz creates by being an effective “native” counterinsurgent by attempting to charge him for murder, pushing him into Cambodia beyond their legal reach. An Army following a man ceases to be an American army when on foreign soil.
@njgloyp4r “Yeah so if you don’t pay me I’ll become a traitor” is crazy to everyone except spies. Gotta keep those wallets padded.
Within a decade or two I think a counterintelligence renaissance will happen… best hope its not an Angletonian one
I went outside today and some foid from highschool was waiting behind me in line loudly talking about how Lindsay Clancy is innocent… what are we doing
