Elon’s purchase of Twitter was the single most consequential act of the last decade.

It restored free speech, broke the Overton window, and enabled the second American revolution.

The Dunning–Kruger problem can’t be solved socially by anointing experts who are themselves incapable of accurate self-assessment.

It can only be solved by direct feedback from disinterested reality (nature and free markets).

Most of life's losers blame their parents and friends for their failures.

Sorry bro, you can only blame yourself. If you were really smart and they were getting in your way, you'd cut them off. No excuses.

The Republican Party has adopted the @balajis platform of "immutable money, infinite frontier, eternal life."

Quite literally

Clear writing and clear speaking are simply outputs of clear thinking.

The 33% are Hollywood actors and those who have difficulty in defining what constitutes male or female. In other words, lobotomized degenerates.

Trump should just cede all his time to Biden. That's his strongest selling point. When Biden starts a sentence that he can't finish cause he loses his train of thought.

You have two options:

1. Go outside. Make friends. Travel. Amass life experiences. Light work to pay bills.

2. Lock absolutely the fuck in and get rich or die trying.

Attempting a balance will lead to mediocre results in both.

Better to commit 100% and cycle between them.

This government program is an outrageous waste of taxpayer money and is utterly failing to serve people in need

.@naval, @farbood, and I talk about modern-day religious fanaticism.

Naval: I lost my cool today because I ran into a person who is advocating in California heavily, a person of power who is advocating for banning open source AI. Of course they don't call it that, they just call it regulation, but they want to regulate the flops and they want a regulatory committee to decide what's allowed to be legal and what's not. It's complete madness.

These people are weaponizing government to stop the free access of mathematics. And of course they're AI doomers. And I just could not have the discussion, I finally lost it.

I just said, I don't want to have this conversation and I left because they are such do-gooders. And I realized that it's do-gooders who think the world is going to end and they're uniquely positioned to save it. These people are the real menace.

They just enjoy this feeling of feeling so good and so moral and so right by telling us how to live our lives and fix us and save us from ourselves. But they're actually the problem.

Farb: It's often rooted in a deep sense of guilt that drives this sort of moralizing behavior, and it's a sad attempt at relieving one's sense of guilt by trying to impose a morality on others.

Naval: The worst part is that it comes with a sense of moral righteousness. They genuinely believe that they're saving the world, and they're saving the poor, and they're saving the ignorant, and that they know better. They really just look down on you.

They're very smug about the whole thing. It's the exact same instinct that you see in a religious fanatic. It is religious fanaticism just reborn over and over again.

It is the religious instinct in humans that keeps coming back. And by religion, I don't mean spirituality. I mean organized religion, the kind that controls you, the kind that gave religion a bad name in the first place.

Arjun: The other day I tweeted out that nowadays whenever I hear quote-unquote experts say anything it automatically sounds like religious fanatics say in my mind.

This is why I find C.S. Lewis was so on point when he said, 'Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.'

Nothing more dangerous than somebody who thinks they’re going to save the world.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Friedrich Nietzsche
