The DS identified this man as a major threat to their easy manipulation of India very early on. They desperately tried to stop him from ever leading the country.

The moment he became CM, they ignited issues, branded him with every possible label, attempted to sanction him, and even revoked his visas.

They unleashed tens of thousands of pages of propaganda reports against him, both inside India and abroad. They weaponised the opposition and the courts to flood him with cases from every direction.

Yet he overcame it all. To become the PM of the world’s largest democracy. Despite all the hit jobs, sabotage, and propaganda, he remains the most popular leader on the planet.

He has turned every adversity into an advantage. "Being Anti-fragile" is his mantra. And he has made India anti-fragile too. We have seen the nation emerge stronger from every crisis thrown at it.

I believe he will also resolve the infowar crisis. The main force behind it will be weakened and broken by him. It will be a fitting feather in his cap before he retires as not only India’s longest serving PM, but its most impactful one.

History will remember him as the one who transformed India not just in infrastructure and development, but forged a confident, self-reliant nation that stands proud on the global stage.

Now that Arsenal have won the league, I fully expect the following chain of events to unfold…

The Banter Era is finished.
Cooked. Cremated. Buried at sea.

All the recycled crap like “bottlers”, “where’s the PL trophy?”, “professional bridesmaids” can finally be retired alongside floppy disks n Gary Neville’s managerial credentials

For at least two months 🤣😅

I also expect football social media to become less tribal, less intellectually radioactive n slightly more nuanced.

Which, admittedly, is like expecting smugglers to start filing honest tax returns
But one hopes 🤞

Arsenal will shortly become the biggest club in England financially.
The prize money, sponsorships n global pull are about to go nuclear
Already almost there while rivals were busy holding “net spend” TED Talks.

Every elite young player on the planet will now happily donate a kidney, two molars n possibly an aunt to play for Mikel.

Recruitment under Berta n Mikel is about to become deeply unpleasant for the rest of the league.
When the lad wt the best hair at the dance also has money, structure n solid football… everyone suddenly starts returning texts

And yes, buying stars doesn’t always guarantee success.
Liverpool proved that this season.

But having elite players generally helps.
Ask City.
And of every beautifully airbrushed, financially mysterious, definitely-not-tainted season of theirs

Mikel Arteta will be a highly paid corporate speaker on the lecture circuit; mostly about lessons in creating company culture n astute man management of massive egos

I also expect acquisitions of brown labradors to skyrocket n more olive trees to be planted in office gardens
Musicians will be in demand for signature company tunes

As for the professional Arsenal grief merchants… Neville, Carragher, Deeney, Schmeichel, Evra, Obi Mikel n the permanently concussed circus of engagement farmers…

My thoughts n prayers.
Also pick a finger hand 🖐️

Their entire cottage industry was built on Arsenal failure.
Now they’ll have to discover new personality traits at the age of 50+

Therapists across Britain are also preparing invoices for them as we speak.

AFTV may finally have to pivot into cooking real content because outrage doesn’t quite hit the same when the club is lifting shiny things.

And hopefully Pietersen can finally stop performing emotional gymnastics every time Chelsea lose.
Watching a grown man, once legend, twerk against his own declared football club should qualify as performance art

Most importantly…

I expect Arsenal to now stay around the top.
This doesn’t feel like a one-night smash-and-grab title

This feels like the beginning of one of those deeply irritating eras where your club is permanently in the conversation for every major honour while rivals convince themselves “next season will be different”
While I am the eternal optimist, I’m not using words like ‘dynasty’ for a bit

Logical that Mountain Dew will sign on as sponsors of the club (at least in India)
“Darr ke aage jeet hai”

Last but not the least, Mikel Arteta, the Kroenkes… we thank you

We Believed…

Elon Musk avait dit un truc qui m'avait marqué sur l'allocation de ressources. En substance : passé un certain niveau de richesse, l'argent n'est plus de la consommation, c'est de l'allocation de capital.

Cette phrase change tout.

L'économie, dans le fond, c'est juste un problème d'allocation. Tu as des ressources finies et des usages infinis. Qui décide où va quoi ?

Imagine une cour de récré. 100 enfants, des paquets de cartes Pokémon distribués au hasard. Tu laisses faire. Très vite, un ordre émerge. Les bons joueurs accumulent les cartes rares, les collectionneurs trient, les négociateurs trouvent des deals. Personne n'a planifié. Et pourtant chaque carte finit dans les mains de celui qui en tire le plus de valeur. Le système maximise le bonheur total de la cour. C'est ça, la main invisible.

Maintenant fais entrer la maîtresse. Elle trouve ça injuste. Léo a 50 cartes, Tom en a 3. Elle confisque, redistribue, impose l'égalité. Trois effets immédiats. Les bons joueurs arrêtent de jouer, à quoi bon. Les mauvais n'ont plus de raison de progresser, ils auront leur part. Les échanges s'effondrent. La cour est égale, et morte. Elle a maximisé l'égalité, elle a détruit le bonheur.

Le problème de la maîtresse, c'est qu'elle ne peut pas avoir l'information que la cour avait collectivement. C'est le problème du calcul économique de Mises, formulé en 1920. L'URSS a essayé de le résoudre pendant 70 ans avec le Gosplan. Résultat : pénuries, queues, effondrement. Pas parce que les Soviétiques étaient bêtes, parce que le problème est mathématiquement insoluble en mode centralisé.

Quand Musk a 200 milliards, il ne les consomme pas, il les alloue. SpaceX, Starlink, Neuralink, xAI. Chaque dollar est un pari sur le futur. Et lui a un track record. PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX. Il a démontré qu'il sait identifier des problèmes immenses et y allouer des ressources avec un rendement spectaculaire.

L'État aussi a un track record. Hôpitaux qui s'effondrent, éducation qui décline, dette qui explose, services publics qui se dégradent malgré des budgets en hausse constante. Le marché identifie les bons allocateurs, la politique identifie les bons communicants.

Le profit n'est pas une finalité, c'est un signal. Il dit : tu as alloué des ressources rares vers un usage que les gens valorisent suffisamment pour payer. Plus le profit est gros, plus la création de valeur est grande. Quand Starlink est rentable, ça veut dire que des millions de gens dans des zones rurales ont enfin internet. Quand un ministère est en déficit, ça veut dire qu'il consomme plus qu'il ne produit. L'un crée, l'autre détruit, et on appelle ça redistribution.

Dans nos sociétés il y a deux catégories d'acteurs. Les entrepreneurs et les bureaucrates. L'entrepreneur prend un risque personnel pour identifier un problème, mobiliser des ressources, créer une solution. S'il se trompe il perd. S'il a raison, ses clients gagnent, ses employés gagnent, ses fournisseurs gagnent, l'État collecte des impôts. Il est la cellule de base du progrès humain.

Le bureaucrate ne prend aucun risque personnel. Son salaire est garanti. Au mieux il maintient une rente existante. Au pire il la détruit par excès de réglementation, mauvaise allocation forcée, incitations perverses qui découragent ceux qui produisent. Mais dans aucun cas il ne crée.

Regarde les 50 dernières années. iPhone, internet civil, SpaceX, Tesla, Google, Amazon, Stripe, mRNA, ChatGPT. Toutes des inventions privées, portées par des entrepreneurs, financées par du capital risque. Pas un seul ministère n'a inventé quoi que ce soit qui ait changé ta vie au quotidien.

La France est devenue le laboratoire mondial de la dérive bureaucratique. 57% du PIB en dépenses publiques, record absolu. Une administration tentaculaire, une fiscalité qui pénalise la création de richesse. Résultat : décrochage face aux États-Unis, à l'Allemagne, à la Suisse. Fuite des cerveaux. Désindustrialisation. Dette qui explose.

Et le pire c'est que la mauvaise allocation s'auto-renforce. Plus l'État prélève, moins les entrepreneurs créent. Moins ils créent, moins il y a de base fiscale. Plus l'État s'endette et taxe. Boucle de rétroaction négative parfaite. La maîtresse pense qu'elle aide, et chaque année la cour produit moins.

Dans nos sociétés, ce sont les entrepreneurs, toujours, qui font avancer la civilisation. Les bureaucrates au mieux maintiennent une rente, au pire la détruisent. Aucune société n'a jamais progressé en taxant ses créateurs pour subventionner ses gestionnaires.

La question n'est jamais qui a combien. C'est qui alloue le mieux la prochaine unité de ressource pour maximiser le futur de l'humanité. La réponse depuis 200 ans n'a jamais changé. Ce ne sont pas les fonctionnaires.

The bus operator says there should not be an issue cancelling 1 day before travel date, but for some reason @redBus_in does not allow it

[Krishna @krishpaprunia]

@redBus_in I should be able to cancel a rescheduled ticket 4 days before the date of travel, could you help understand why this policy as it doesn’t make sense.

We have gigantic creatures in the sea which can sing for hours and have arteries so big you can crawl through them. (whales)

We have birds that fly 50,000 miles every year. From the antarctic to the arctic and back again. (arctic tern)

We have living creatures which never get old and never die naturally. (jellyfish)

We have animals which you can force through a sieve, and they can reassemble themselves. (sponges)

We have an ancient line of animals which once had 30 or more successful species, and has gone extinct down to just one single representative, and that representative has conquered the entire world (us).

We have horrors that look just like rocks and if you step on them your whole world becomes agonizing pain. (toadfish)

We have animals who hide inside other animals, and when you eat that animal, they enter your intestines and live there. (tapeworms)

We have plants which live on other plants and never touch the ground.

There's a fruit tree that grows around another tree, and eventually kills and replaces it. (strangler fig)

We have gliding lizards, marsupials, snakes, frogs, and rodents.

What the heck do you need fairies for?

Life is fucking electric bro. Don’t fall for the doomer shit. That’s for losers and normies scared of their own shadows. Walk around like God sent you and smile at everyone you see. Spread light and abundance. Build things and take chances. This is the best time in history!

My mom has a little notebook where she writes down every movie she watches and a few of her thoughts about it. I told her about Letterboxd & she said "does everyone need an audience for their hobbies now?"

[joshpuckett @joshpuckett]

ok which one of you is ready to make an Age of Empires 2 like interface for Claude Code and make a billion dollars??

[signüll @signulll]

most ppl wildly overestimate what money actually buys after a certain point. the real advantage of abundant capital is mostly psychological.

yes, yachts & private jets exist. no, most billionaires aren’t joyriding them daily like it’s gta. novelty decays fast. hedonic treadmill stays undefeated.

on actual access, the world is getting more equal over time. a billionaire uses the same iphone. drinks the same diet coke. eats broadly the same food. uses the same ai tools. injects the same glp-1s. uses the same software stack. & the same internet. the day to day gap that actually matters keeps shrinking.

wealth today mostly buys optionality, time, & reduced anxiety. it does not necessarily buy some secret parallel reality with god tier products the middle class cannot access.

the real work is just continuing to build initially expensive shit & push it downstream. scale beats status. & accessibility beats excess.

@GabbbarSingh Moral certainty is a powerful drug. Once people are high on it, facts become context, lies turn into stories, and any correction is disregarded as a distraction.
