Jimmy Dore: "We preach democracy to China. But we don't have democracy here - the oligarchs run everything. The Princeton study proved 90% of people's wishes never become law. Only the top 10% of wealthy matter.

Naval Ravikant says the biggest mistake in a world of infinite options is premature commitment.
"Where you live really constrains and defines your opportunities. It's going to determine your friend circle.
It's going to determine your dating pool. It's going to determine your job opportunities.

Built in 1773 to last forever, and it did exactly that. We've somehow gone backwards.
Many friends still find it hard to believe there's an aircraft inside our car, but it's really that simple: one click for automatic separation and reconnection. This is our Flying Car
