🔥 YOU ARE SO WRONG @EU_Commission!

Calling the wish to preserve Europe’s cultures and way of life ‘racist’ is wrong.

It’s about keeping our countries recognizable to the people who built them and to their children and grandchildren.

We want future generations to grow up in places that still feel like home, with the languages, traditions, values, and social cohesion that have defined Europe for centuries.

This is a normal, healthy instinct that every nation on Earth claims for itself. It’s about protecting heritage and continuity, not hating anyone.
That’s what standing up for a sovereign and culturally rooted Europe means.

Yesterday, @EvaVlaar presented the Save Europe Act on stage at @RESUM26
Ever since, thousands of signatures have come in from Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, and all other EU nations every hour. Just now, we reached 40.000 signatures.

After @DVanLangenhove’s sentencing yesterday, my best friend @rblommestijn has just been sentenced again on appeal for criticizing mass migration and commenting on extreme violence committed by migrants.

This is our reality in Europe. If you speak out about the great replacement they do everything they can to crush you.

Freedom of speech doesn’t exist.

🚨🇪🇺 EU THREATENS to REJECT the Save Europe Act - 450,000 signatures demanding protection of European identity.

Brussels says it’s against “European values.”

They don’t want to PROTECT Europe, but to ERASE it.

Re-migration is the tangible answer to societal subversion. It means saying "Okay, we can reverse this."

Happy Birthday America! To me, the greatest nation on Earth. 250 years of loudly arguing our way toward a more perfect union 😂 We're in this together, I love you all! ❤️

PS: World Cup has been amazing. US in the round of 16, LFG! Also, I'm a long-time huge fan of Argentina and Messi, but Cape Verde vs Argentina was one of the greatest games I've ever seen. That is what the World Cup is all about!

Here's my conversation with Anthony Kaldellis about the deep history of the Roman Empire in the west and the east (the Byzantine Empire). This was a truly fascinating conversation with a lot of wisdom for the modern world and for the future of human civilization. The Roman state lasted over 2,200 years. If we want to understand human nature, the modern world, and how humanity can flourish, it is valuable to study history, especially the history of why societies survive and why they collapse.

SpaceX will help expand humanity out to the stars. It makes me excited for the future!

Huge congrats to Elon and the SpaceX team 👊

I got to spend all day today with Jensen in Taiwan: talking with thousands of engineers and eating street food at a night market. Jensen is received as a rockstar in Taiwan, like it's Beatles in the 60's. It's mind-blowing and fun to watch. But most importantly, through all the interactions and all my conversations with him, he remained the same humble, kind, thoughtful, funny guy he always was, even as a kid who went to these same night markets many years ago.

Btw, we tried a crazy amount of different street food. It's legit some of the most delicious food I've ever had. I can't wait to share video of it, including a ton of our conversations and hangout. When I can pause for a moment from all the travel to edit the video, I'll post it.

Can't wait to continue talking to Jensen and engineers at Computex this week, and exploring more of Taiwan, and of course roaming the night markets for some more delicious street food.

Days like these, even more than usual, I feel like the luckiest kid in the world.

Love you all! ❤️

Here's my conversation with Don Lincoln about some of the biggest open questions in physics, including dark energy, dark matter, the matter-antimatter imbalance, quantum vacuum, quantum foam, and the quest to unify the laws of physics.

Don is a particle physicist at Fermilab who has spent decades working at the frontiers of high energy physics. He is also a great teacher & writer. I highly recommend his courses & books. One of my favorite lecture series he has given is The Evidence for Modern Physics where he breaks down the experiments that validate some of the weird laws of physics we have, and what it would take to validate even the weirder ones.

It's not enough to come up with a beautiful theory. You also have to show through experiment that the theory is likely to be correct. This process often doesn't get the love it deserves, even though it's often the most important and difficult part of the scientific process.

I ❤️ physics.

I've been on a wild travel journey in China for several weeks, with only a backpack, making new friends and meeting & getting to know people from all walks of life. I've been truly humbled and inspired by everyone's kindness.

Next, I'm hopping over to Taiwan (first time for me) to hang out with Jensen, attend Computex, eat a bunch of street food, and just have fun talking to all kinds of folks around the city & beyond. After that, no plans, anything goes.

As always, please give travel suggestions or fill out coffee form if you want to hang out in Taiwain or anywhere else in the world. Love you all! ❤️
