Existence itself is a miracle - the rest is science.

There is no single meaning to existence - if there were, we’d be slaves to it.

Within existence, there are rules of logic and science. If it was magic, the world would be un-navigable.

Truly the best of all possible worlds.

🚨 Sec. Marco Rubio just NAILED IT:

"One of the criticisms you sometimes hear of communism is that it 'sounds good in theory, but it never works in practice.'"

"That's actually NOT TRUE. Communism does NOT sound good in theory. The world that envisions for all of us is small, flat, gray, leveled of all exception, drained of all that is good and noble in the human soul."

"The world that envisions is a world without courage, a world without creativity, or ambition, a world without heroes, or glory, or great causes to strive towards, without a world without miracles, without men who rise above the rest to do incredible and extraordinary things."

"And the world communism envisions is a world without God."

"For these architects of revolutionary violence, the towering achievement of our civilization, for them, it's an unbearable humiliation, a reminder of what they cannot do and a reminder of what they cannot be. So they choose instead to destroy." 💯

In El Salvador I advised to standardize on @Grok for every student and teacher AI because it is honest and truthful.

SpaceXAI was gracious and donated AI access to each student and teacher for free for the enter life in school!

We in the US are sleepwalking with Anthropic and OpenAI slowing them to poison AI outputs with propaganda and not honesty.

We can and must do better.

Major cheat code for life: Build a boring baseline. Go to bed early. Wake up early. Move your body. Eat simple foods. Save money. Read good books. Avoid drama. Be present. Listen intently. Change your mind. The inputs may not look impressive, but the results certainly do.

One of the greatest posts of all time. I still think of it often.

Anthropic just announced a product for teachers. They are working with Teacher’s union.

43% of Anthropic output is socialist/communist leaning.

This is what is coming for the kids now.

THIS IS THE REAL AI THREAT.

Indoctrination AI.

Hypnotist tip to change behavior:

Introduce the spirit of curiosity within troubling emotional situations.

Therapy asks:

"Why are you upset?"

Hypnosis suggests:

"How do you want to feel?"

Dr. Mike Israetel on the economic fallacy he says explains why AI won't cause mass unemployment:

"Once we have 4 billion robots doing labor in the world, which we're like orders of magnitude off of that currently, then we've just only doubled the human workforce."

"From 1700 to today, we've 10 or 20x'd the human labor force. And, seemingly, the economy's not like, ah, we don't need any more people, that's enough. We could just consistently have better jobs and pay people even more money."

"This idea that robots are gonna show up and all of a sudden we're all completely unemployed makes a technical fallacy in economics called lump of labor fallacy. It's the idea that all the jobs currently are the only jobs that could be."

"Imagine in 1750, you're like, well, 98% of us work in farming, and then you come back from the future and you're like, you guys, 2% of people in the 1990s work in farming. It'd be like, so everyone's starving to death? Like, no, no, we're super fat, actually."

Similarly carrying 50lb sheets of drywall up a flight of stairs in the summer heat of Austin, Florida or Phoenix is BRUTAL …

There’s reason why American men don’t want to it: because it’s literally not sustainable. Your back, shoulders and knees will give out. And you’ll be hobbled forever after.

It’s no surprise Immigrants are much more willing to make that trade. Whether it’s because they are only here for a few years before going back to their countries or because their recent prospects were so much harsher that they willing to work in those environments for low wages.

But … that has also directly stymied innovation and investment in new ways of building.

There’s much lower incentive to bring industrialization to home building when site built construction is so cheap, because it can can chew through the men who swing hammers and carry loads.

As an American, one of the aspects that I’m most proud and hopeful of for my company is that we can provide GOOD jobs for Americans that they can do for decades. That someone can earn an honest wage building homes for their entire career and not sacrifice their the final decades of life to aches and pain pills.

God bless America.

[Aella @Aella_Girl]

the more i learn about history, the more I appreciate America. America is actually an extremely cool and special anomaly in the timeline of civilizations. It's so successful that it's allowed the people inside it to lose touch with how bad things can truly be

[Mr. Anderson @Truecrypto]

No one tells you how hard it is to rewire your brain to allow amazing things to happen after experiencing so much trauma or pain.

Blessings exist...

Let it happen.

Cathie Wood just explained why the establishment will never stop coming for Elon Musk.

And the reason is worse than they think.

Wood: “Tesla was an environmental move, which I think a lot of people attacking his cars… they’ve forgotten.”

They didn’t forget. You don’t forget thirty years of marching and petitioning and begging for the machine that saves the planet.

Someone built it. Forced every automaker on Earth to follow.

Then they turned on him the moment he delivered exactly what they asked for.

Not because he failed them. Because he made them unnecessary.

A solved problem is an existential threat to every institution built to solve it. Kills the funding. Kills the committee. Kills every career that exists to manage the crisis rather than end it.

Wood: “I think he’s the Thomas Edison of our age… he wants to do the right thing to transform the lot of most of humanity.”

Edison was hated too. By the people who sold candles. Every revolution looks like an attack to the people it makes obsolete.

Wood: “What we learn about material science and technologies… is going to help us here on Earth as well.”

SpaceX is not an escape. It is a forge. Build under the most brutal conditions in the solar system and every breakthrough comes home.

Most people at his level stop building and start protecting what they have.

Musk picks the hardest unsolved problem on Earth and runs straight at it.

That is not what terrifies them. What terrifies them is he does it without their funding, without their approval, without a single thing they can hold over his head.

A man you cannot buy is a man you cannot control. And a man you cannot control who keeps solving the problems you profit from is the most dangerous human alive.

They will spend their careers trying to tear him down.

Their grandchildren will live in the world he built anyway.

[Mr. Anderson @Truecrypto]

Every path is hard.

Some hard builds you. Some hard slowly destroys you.

Marriage is hard. Divorce is hard.

Getting fit is hard. Being unhealthy is hard.

Discipline is hard. Debt is hard.

Honest conversation is hard. Silence is hard.

You are not choosing between hard and easy.

You are choosing between hard with a future and hard with regret.

[Mr. Anderson @Truecrypto]

Do not forget this:

You can start at 30.
Fail at 33.
Start again at 34.

Struggle. Improve. Fail again.
Make progress. Start again at 44.

And still become everything you were meant to be.

It is not over unless you stop.

Never quit.

Happy birthday America! I am very proud, No, I am extremely proud to be a Christian American! Born and raised in this beautiful land, which I love! Yes, I love America! #USA
