@jordanbpeterson Rothbard on the state, experts, and public opinion:

[JD ter Hart @jdterhart]

@BobbySchmidtIII @Kevmath @PokerGO They took it all down about five hours ago. When I reached out to support about it, they said that they no longer have the rights to stream any WSOP content. Was just hoping that someone at @WSOP or @GGPoker could confirm that it will be accessible again in the near future.

[JD ter Hart @jdterhart]

@WheelsUpPoker @RealKidPoker @dwpoker @Kevmath I know you are a very busy man this time of year but I was also wondering about this after PokerGo took down the entire WSOP archive section today with no warning. I’m aware they no longer have the broadcast rights, will GG/ESPN make them available? Will gladly pay.

[JD ter Hart @jdterhart]

@jeffplatt @WSOP Thanks for getting back to me, really appreciate it. So there is a plan for WSOP/GG/ESPN to provide a way for us to access the vault again at some point in the future? Have a great summer!

Reflecting further on this: To reduce the solitary penguin to a meme of "depression" or "nihilistic surrender" requires a truly pedestrian intellect. It is a diagnosis that betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the Will to Power.

The colony represents the Last Man: content, loud, driven only by the banal biological imperatives of breeding and feeding, trapped in the safety of the herd. To remain there is the true death. The "deranged" penguin is not fleeing life. He is rejecting the aesthetic stagnation of mere survival.

By turning his back on the ocean and marching toward the mountains, a landscape of pure indifference and certain mortality. He is not committing suicide. He is engaging in the ultimate act of self-overcoming. He is asserting his agency against the tyranny of instinct. He creates his own meaning in a void that offers none.

That march is not an error. It is Amor Fati. It is the rejection of the biological script in favor of a destiny that is beautiful precisely because it is futile. He does not march to die. He marches to become the Übermensch, leaving the flightless masses to their meaningless noise while he stares into the abyss and laughs. To pity him is to admit you are incapable of understanding greatness.

This is the great lie of mass migration. You are not just importing individuals. You are importing societies. No magic transformation occurs when failed states cross borders. At scale, migrants and their descendants recreate the conditions, and terrors, of their broken homelands.

My grandparents worked for 50 years, saving their entire lives in a bank account. In 2020, politicians shut down the world and printed 40% of the money supply, wiping away 20 years of their savings.

Where the dust remembers every play,
and the bleachers hold echoes of summer cheers—
the golden hour lingers a little longer,
on a field where time once stood still.

Imagine a guy being in the tank while you're all-in for the win of the WSOP Main Event and you're up smashing a Michelob and smoking a dart. It has to be the most legendary ending to the tournament. #itsalloverbaby

There was absolutely no reason for HBO to go this hard introducing movies back in the 80’s. But I’m glad they did:
