i make things!

I hear Twitter is still a thing. Let us try. I am in SF. I want to meet people who design and think about consumer AI products. I am building one and I need your perspectives and hacks.

A lot of what we were taught in school was a lie. Not garden variety revisionism, but stories paid for to ensure their dissemination. The most valuable asset class is land. Let’s just say a lot goes into preserving the myths of who owns what and what there is to own.

I forgot about Twitter. In a personal quest to not care what people think, I will resume, by using X as God intended: to say inflammatory things that make the world a worse place.

@paulg Do you believe building 7 collapsed in freefall due to a small office fire? Princess Diana perished in a tragic accident that coincided with a brief security camera failure?

I made a website on which I've posted all my dark thoughts: https://t.co/4OqdMistLZ. Which hot take of mine is so very Rong?

Idea for blockchain: unilateral legal contracts. Say I want to force an investor to decide in 3 weeks. I publish a legal contract on Eth. stating that if I ever accept an investment from them after 3 weeks, I owe that investor $100m. Build the de facto hub for such declarations.

I published a book. It is a micro-essay collection, a humorous and serious compilation of my long-form Twitter-like thoughts. Does not talk much about startups or law. Pick up a copy here: https://t.co/5pJVBRHauo

@AshGutermuth This is a false, narrow-minded, dare-I-say bigoted take! You can get oxygen intravenously. You can suffocate. You can breathe helium. You can even breathe vaporized gravy. So many options aside from breathing air.

I, um, made a video about my theory on the origin of consciousness and the meaning of life. It's long, fast, and drummed.

@dunbar151 @derwiki @moustache Adam, I’m now in the Bay, and would love to do an open mic with you! I’ve done 100+ open mics. They’re great fun and terror. Alan did indeed crush it with that dragon tattoo dragon tattoo bit.

@ronnypascale This ultra-realistic scarecrow doubles as a chick repellant. Get yours today.

When I haven't posted on social media in a while, it feels like the bar for what I say is higher. So, here is a pointless post to break my inadvertent silence.

Perennial:

Let me summarize today’s news for you so that you don’t need to spend time checking it.
Someone is under fire for their comments.
There’s a troubling trend in the climate system.

A celebrity died.

Euphemism is itself a euphemism for misrepresentation.

@CatinaVanRsistn @AdamTravisG @SethAbramson The following Friday raises you the the acquisition of a brewery.

@dunbar151 Here's half of the half-time show. Some borrowed from my Twitter.

My sole, secret hobby over the past four years has been writing a collection of comedy bits, philosophical rants & short essays. It's now almost a book. Here are the table of contents and index of titles. Pick a chapter or some passage titles, and I'll send that portion to you.

@yrdeepika The least offensive one in that offensive chapter:

How to procrastinate: 1) tell yourself that if you take a quick break, you’ll be more productive, 2) take the whole eve off but vow to stay up late, focussed without distractions, 3) decide you’re too tired now and that it’ll be best to pick this up tomorrow.
