Peter Thiel has a comment that I love: "Things that are real sciences don't need to put 'science' at the end of it."

Its Physics. Not Physics Science.
Its Chemistry. Not Chemistry Science.
Its Biology. Not Biology Science.
Its Electrical Engineering. Not Electrical Engineering Science

With science, you will learn exactly the same things, no matter where you go to school. While this may seem like a bad thing, I think its a great thing. The laws of physics don't change just because you went to a state school vs Ivy League.

Now, if you think about other "sciences" however, there is a lot of variance depending on where you go to school.

Social Science?
Political Science?
Even Computer Science varies wildly from school to school.

Some universities try to create a mystique that you will be taught something or by someone or meet someone that will change your life when pursuing these other "sciences". This may be true in some circumstances but the odds of success are probably much higher for the broader population if you can focus on indelible content (ie real science) that describes how the world works.

And you can learn THAT, on a level playing field with everyone, anywhere.

Some good footnotes in this tweet from @balajis , including an old article from Chesa Boudin about Chavez. The transformation that the city of SF suffered under Boudin's tenure is why many left SF.

BLUE AMERICA ISN'T SENDING THEIR BEST

The key concept that many Red Americans don't get is that Blue America is why Latin America is so poor.

Why is LatAm sending migrants to the US? Because blues like Chesa Boudin helped turn Venezuela into a hellhole. Yeah, he served in the Chavez administration[1] before he screwed up San Francisco! That's the modern version of the Monroe Doctrine: blue colonialism, without any roads and bridges, but with NGO sinecures and blue saviors.

But once you yeet the blues out of LatAm countries, things miraculously recover. Just look at El Salvador without the influence of Blue America! They got their murder rate to zero once they got blue influence out of their country.

I agree this is not obvious until you dig into it. But as a plausibility argument, just think about what NGOs have done to San Francisco, and realize that they're doing that to Latin America and Africa.

Or look at El Salvador. Why are blues futilely attacking @nayibbukele now, after years of not caring about El Salvador, now that he's finally restoring order and prosperity to the place?[2]

Because blues from the US and Europe did to Latin America what they did to Russia, China, India, and so many other places — they exported socialism and communism, and thereby turned those places into hellholes & economic basketcases where people had to escape. Then they turn around and often turn the children of the refugees fleeing their handiwork into blue voters. It's an amazing double whammy.

After all, it's Herbert Matthews[3] who helped turn Cuba into a hellhole. It's also John Reed[4], Edgar Snow[5], Walter Duranty[6], David Halberstam[7], and so many others who did the same to the rest of the world. Look for a communist or socialist dictator anywhere in the world, and you'll usually find a Blue American backing him.

Returning to LatAm: to solve the issue of migrant laborers, Red Americans doesn't need to blame the poor migrants. Instead, work with Latin American leaders like Bukele to restore order so people don't need to leave. That means deporting Blue American NGOs from Latin America. Because the US isn't sending its best.

drug development is an economic black hole for biologists

accidentally deleted this tweet & after thinking about it we need to lower the cost of product iterations not just experiments to bring biotechnology to more markets
