@fahdananta I feel this often. The immigrant ethis is - work hard, but if youre happy, youre not working hard enough. Accepting that Im going to die doesnt come at the cost of my ambition. If the ultimate goal is optionality, presence is also winning.

@PaulAustin3w Sin clauses are not a new thing though. Most tier 1 vcs wont do it.

I don't think even Chomsky would say that anyone who is friends with him should "wholeheartedly" endorse whatever he did, no matter our views of it. He often said the opposite. He had no problem criticizing specific views of mine, nor did I.

The one time I talked about this Epstein/Chomsky matter, it was to say that I was mostly baffled why Chomsky would develop such a close relationship with someone like Epstein. I now feel like I understand better why this happened, as I said.

I don't think it remotely makes Chomsky a likely pedophile or someone sympathetic to sex crimes, nor does it make him someone whose entire life and work should declared cancelled by this: as many on the left, predictably, are insisting. Nor do I think it is much beyond an error of judgment that all humans, at some point, make. And it has to be weighed against the far more significant value not only of his work but also his exemplary behavior and treatment of others for the many decades of his public life.

But Chomsky himself long argued that people shouldn't have "heroes" whom they place beyond the realm of criticism, and I don't think such a standard should be invoked on his behalf.

@WillManidis Fantastic read as always. You have the rare ability to see finance, culture, art and occultism with the same pair of eyes and I really appreciate it!

2/ Academics & intellectuals are courtiers at heart. They bow to patrons. This runs back 3000 years.
Even the lefties are conformists in a certain social structure.
I happened to be ferociously independent and have f***you money. This makes patrons uncomfortable. More stories.

@piersmorgan And Saddam was a bad guy. We were going to be greeted as liberators. How’d that turn out?

@RCarhartHarris I like his overall thesis that civilizational progress is helical (versus linear or cyclical)

@PaulAustin3w Will it make him less of an insufferable asshole though 🍿

@bryan_johnson If you dont want to listen to a typical european classical music playlist, I suggest ‘music for psychedelic therapy’ or ‘ritual’ by Jon Hopkins

Do you think the labs use the Japanese concept of Ikigai when deciding whether or not to make porn a part of their products? It’s a powerful framework

you mean to tell me ive been blocked from my own creative expression because I haven’t grieved the dozens of creative dreams and projects that never made it because you can’t skip the beautiful composting power of grief that fuels new creation??
