Can US/Israel get rid of the IRGC and the Ayatollahs in Iran without boots on the ground? Here’s the answer: 💯Yes. All it takes is a few drones flying over Tehran for four weeks shooting Basij & IRGC who kill people. Millions of people are ready to be the boots on the ground.
The open society and its enemy, Soros.
While he named his Open Society Foundations after Karl Popper’s “The Open Society and Its Enemies,” his project stands as a philosophical inversion of everything Popper defended.
Popper’s open society rested on critical rationalism, the recognition that no one possesses final truth, that institutions must remain open to criticism and piecemeal reform, and that democracy functions as a method for removing rulers without bloodshed.
He rejected historicism, the belief in iron laws of history that justify sacrificing present generations for a utopian future, and warned that such thinking inevitably produces closed, authoritarian societies.
Soros has repurposed the label to advance a grand project of engineered demographic transformation.
Through mass immigration, multiculturalism as official policy, and diversity mandates that prioritize group identity over individual merit and assimilation, his foundations actively dissolve the cultural continuity and social trust that make rational criticism and incremental change possible.
Popper understood that openness requires a stable framework, a shared language of reason, basic cohesion, and institutions citizens feel they collectively own.
Soros treats those foundations as obstacles to be overcome in the name of an abstract, borderless openness.
The concrete results are visible. Parallel societies that operate under different norms, public spaces where debate on the scale and selection of immigration is treated as illegitimate, and the rise of identity based hierarchies that close off dissent in the name of equity.
These are certainly not expansions of the open society, but new forms of closure, tribal in character, enforced through institutional capture rather than overt dictatorship, yet hostile to the very critical spirit Popper placed at the center of civilized life.
Philosophically, Soros replaces Popper’s falsification and humility before reality with a new historicism, the conviction that global multiculturalism and open borders represent inevitable moral progress, and that resistance from actual existing communities constitutes the new enemy.
The machinery funded in the name of openness does not test its own assumptions against evidence, it suppresses the questions.
Those who still value the ideal of an open society should read Popper on their own terms.
They will find that Soros has not extended the open society, but has supplied its most sophisticated contemporary enemies.
Water usage has been a hot topic in the AI data center world, but the numbers may surprise you.
According to the Manhattan Institute, data centers use 0.2 percent of daily water usage in the U.S. and that number has dramatically decreased in the past few years due to a new method: liquid cooling.
By moving to 45°C liquid cooling, AI factories in favorable climates can use dry coolers instead of conventional cooling-tower-based systems, cutting facility cooling water use from roughly 2.6M gallons per MW per year to near zero.
Liquid cooling enables AI factories to be both water and energy efficient, while creating opportunities for heat reuse and dispersal to local communities, allowing these factories to become energy grid assets.

🚨 BREAKING: Sec. Marco Rubio just said what nobody else has the guts to say about Iran.
“We’re dealing with radical Shia clerics who make geopolitical decisions based on pure theology. No one has ever been able to do a successful deal with Iran.”
That is reality.
This is not some normal regime you negotiate with over coffee. These are ideological hardliners who see everything through a religious lens.
Rubio made it clear. If negotiations actually change, the whole world will see it.
No illusions. No fantasy diplomacy. Just facts.

🚨BREAKING: TRUMP ON ANTHROPIC
REPORTER: Do you view Anthropic and to a degree its CEO, Dario Amodei, as a threat to national security?
TRUMP: "Well, not now, but a week ago, maybe. I was with him yesterday, he made a speech... seemed like a nice guy, smart guy. But he responded to us very quickly, because you know it's a tremendous liability… he responded very responsibly, I thought."
REPORTER: Would you consider using the Defense Production Act to possibly regulate or control AI?
TRUMP: "I would, but, I'm not sure I have to do that. I think so far it's been very responsible. Actually, it was a competitor, and a part-owner, that turned Anthropic in…"
Sam Bankman-Fried is the greatest investor of all time
Cursor just got bought by SpaceX today. SBF invested $200k into Cursor in 2022
He also invested in:
2021- Anthropic: $500M → ~$75B
2022- Robinhood: $648M → ~$5B
2022- Genesis Digital: ~$1.15B → ~$3B
2022- SpaceX exposure: ~$100M → ~$10B
That means if he weren't in jail today and still owned all this equity, he'd be worth ~$100 billion
But because he got a greedy and put customer funds into crypto, he had to divest from all those positions at cost
He'd be top 20 richest people in the world. Now he's just trying not to drop the bar of soap
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

The development comes as Tehran and Washington are reportedly in the final stages of negotiations that could also lead to the release of tens of billions of dollars in frozen Iranian oil revenues.
