@elonmusk A good number of today's "conservatives" were in agreement with most of what Jed Bartlett did in the West Wing and didn't see him as "the most progressive president" that the narrative made him out to be.

@DouglasKMurray @spectator Nothing will change - the postgraduate left believes this is deserved retribution for the world's sins and will march us all gleefully to the firing squads.

@DavidSacks If the "Datacenters are stealing our water" crowd are gaslighting, isn't it also possible that "AI takes no jobs" side is as well to drive AI company valuations and limit friction? All the Mag 7 are below their prepandemic headcount, and yet they still cut (and will continue to)

@Peter_Turchin It's certainly driven quite the exodus of billionaires to Florida and other places. The proposal is likely to cost California because those people are no longer paying taxes in the state.

@JosephNWalker Automation & robots change the justification a lot - but the migration program has been more about elite desire for a more malleable different Australian culture than funding universities or productivity.

@emollick The social sciences have just become a way of trying to build a passable statistical framework to justify political shibboleths rather than a search for deeper truths about humans. Politics is preferences over accuracy and methodology is subservient to dogma.

@news_australian No one is as clever as Keating believes himself to be.

@chodly155358 @Jordanwabouzeid "The Right Thing" (but the road to hell is paved with noble intentions)

@Peter_Turchin True gulags & population reeducation just have never been tried ;-p (and we can power datacenters on phlogiston)

@dr_informa @draginol Australia had no tariffs on US goods and we had a FTA - with trade overwhelmingly in your favor. But you kicked your ally in the teeth. At least the Prime Minister is now willing to accept you aren't Australia's friend and wouldn't piss on Australia if it was on fire

[Blarkon @blarkon]

@halalflow Given your parasitic relationship where you produce nothing of value to humanity, it's no wonder you want to tax into slavery someone who produces actual products that benefit humanity. Just remember - all you do is spout low value opinion. That's your great contribution

[Blarkon @blarkon]

@oren_cass @elonmusk @unherd Perhaps that's why he has an insanely good record of solving problems considered impossible?

[Blarkon @blarkon]

@amuse Given the average age of civil servants (over 55) and when they likely bought their first home, how much of that is due to property value inflation?

[Blarkon @blarkon]

@CivGame Given that the software isn't, why should we be?

@Apacitto725 Remember that bravado that when your kid's school gets locked down because of an active shooter.

@srajagopalan Once in position though, rarely hire non-indians.

@Cacophanus That's Okay - my grandmother never forgave the Japanese for doing this to her Aunt and that's a lot less forgivable https://t.co/ICBTZSXSmT

@HighPlainsFella @nntaleb Don't park assets in a nation/EU that arbitrarily steals them to strike whoever is leading the nation that issued your passport. It will happen to anyone's assets, including yours, for capricious reasons in future. A bank that steals deposits is a thief.

[Blarkon @blarkon]

@AndriyProtsyk @nntaleb You've missed the point entirely. Why put any assets in a country that arbitrarily steals them if they disagree with the politics of whoever is leading the nation that issued your passport. It just means it will happen to your assets for capricious reasons in future.
