Today is the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death.

A year since a man was shot in the neck with a weapon for using his words.

And much of the apathy, even the glee, over his death isn’t a reaction to what he said.

It’s a reaction to what people think he said.

People accused him of hate speech, particularly because of his comments on race.

But it wasn’t hate speech.

It was speech that they hate.

Charlie is gone, but the message must go on.

Below is a compilation of my short-form videos addressing the most persistent lies, distortions, and misunderstandings of what he said, especially about race.

Charlie Kirk’s death was a tragedy.

But the work he was doing is unfinished, and the message he was delivering is still profoundly misunderstood.

This compilation isn’t about defending Charlie’s reputation.

It’s about clarifying principles that are bigger than any one person.

After Charlie’s death, we should have had a spiritual revival.

A coming together. A civilization saying with one voice: violence is never an acceptable answer to speech.

For a moment, we did.

Erika Kirk forgave her husband’s killer on stage, in front of the world.

Then it dissolved into conspiracy theories and influencer infighting.

So I’m hoping this reaches the people it needs to.

The messenger is gone, but the message must go on.

We live in the most incredible time to be alive ever

We've achieved AGI. Astra allows you to build quite literally anything you could possibly imagine. And it's affordable for all

If you don't think it's AGI, answer this: what would 10 year ago you think?

We also have the most incredible AI agent harness ever created

Grok Bot allows you to have unlimited productivity

ANYONE can now have a team of agents working for them

Before you'd need to hire a team of employees that would cost you millions a year. Now Grok Bot gives that to you for $200.

We have Claude Fable. Yes it's now behind Astra. But this is the first time Anthropic is the under dog. Never count them out

We have the open source community stronger than ever. Omarchy is the best operating system ever made. Hermes is your very own open source employee

If you're light on cash that's fine. Meta has a new model that costs like a penny per million tokens and it's just as good as Opus

The most important part about all of this is success can now be achieved by anyone who wants it. Creation and entrepreneurship has for the first time ever been completely democratized

There's nothing holding you back. Anything you want to build you can now build it. Whatever value you want to create for humanity you can now create it.

If you're into tech or just care about the human race, there's never been a better time to be alive in the history of this species

Take a second this Saturday to just be grateful and thank whichever god/universe/spirit you believe in

The future of human social interactions:

[Alex Finn @AlexFinn]

1 week ago the most famous game developer ever told his audience of 3 million followers to ‘Reject AI’

Today, he said he is going to try vibe coding for the first time

This is fundamentally one of the biggest issues in America right now

We have complete morons who know nothing about AI influencing the masses on what their opinions should be about it

Influencers tweet out data centers are drinking all the water while their entire existence is dependent on videos and games stored on data centers

Politicians create laws on AI and they’ve never used Claude once in their entire lives

America leads the charge on the most powerful technology in the history of our species. It can truly create abundance for all. But NOBODY is focused on the marketing, messaging, or education.

We allow the Notchs of the world dictate what people think

If we don’t focus on showing people the beauty and potential of this amazing technology, the ignorant, uneducated people will get their way. And their way is a world with scarcity, not abundance.

[Kaizen D. Asiedu @thatsKAIZEN]

Charlie was shot because he was honest.

America, we can’t keep doing this.

I’ve never observed anyone, regardless of field, achieve lasting prominence while voicing rancor or focusing much on the failings of others. Create and share, support others and enjoy. Givers and creators always prevail.

Just because something's not your fault doesn't mean it's not your responsibility. Our ability to act and change is proportional to the amount of responsibility we take on for ourselves.

A good reminder for the new year:

“First forget inspiration.
Habit is more dependable.
Habit will sustain you whether you’re inspired or not.
Habit is persistence in practice.”
