its cool that in past centuries, paintings or pictures of the most influential people were always dictators, presidents, etc.

Thielism has proven right, good technologists float above the bureaucracy and policy making

these are, by far, the most influential people alive today

What struck me about this photo is that Trump and Xi invited to their dinner table: an immigrant from South Africa, two Taiwanese immigrants that came to the US as children, and a gay kid from Alabama, all of whom moved to Silicon Valley to make a dent in the universe.

@ScottWalker If one person gets killed in the Vatican city, you can’t equate that to a million deaths in US terms🤣🤣

one human life is a human life

of course october 7th is a tragedy, but come on

The NGOs end up increasing the number of homeless people they manage, because that’s the only way to increase their revenue! Incentives drive outcomes.

“Homeless” is a propaganda word used to describe people on the street who are mentally ill or severely addicted to drugs. The word implies that this is someone who fell a little behind on their mortgage payment and they’re one job offer away from getting back on their feet, which is obviously false if you’ve ever tried talking to a “homeless” person in SF, LA, NY, Austin or anywhere else.

The honest reality is that we need to bring back asylums for extreme mental illness or drug addiction for those who are a serious danger to themselves or others.

Thiel always talks about this

good technology is a way to circumnavigate poltical infrastructure

China and US don't need rules, they just need to pursue good tech

[Mikita 👨‍💻 @mikitaposts]

Apart from the US, no other country truly matters in the world except China. You don’t need the UN or any of those organizations. I think we are back in a bipolar world again. Not a multipolar one, like Dugin wants. Because it really is just the US and China.

I have a lot of questions, but in general a program like this should have never gone completely cold

speed is always important

[Clash Report @clashreport]

The last SR-71 Blackbird ever built has disappeared from its outdoor display at Edwards AFB.

NASA 844 — the final Blackbird to fly (October 1999) — was moved into a hangar earlier this year.

NASA won't say where it is or why.

NASA Administrator Isaacman recently showed a dark aircraft silhouette resembling an SR-71 while talking about getting "back in the business of flying high and fast again."

Asked if it was a Blackbird, he replied: "You sure that's a Blackbird?" NASA says it has "no additional information."

This is the most upgraded and best-preserved of the 32 SR-71s ever built.

A full return to flight would be extremely difficult — JP-7 fuel infrastructure is gone and J58 engines are unique — but using it as a high-speed research template is more plausible.

The plane that once cruised at Mach 3.2 above 80,000 feet is simply no longer sitting where everyone could see it.

@zhil_arf your ability to wage war for prolonged periods is purely a function of political appetite and industrial output

@Rainmaker1973 I would not want to fly a single engine piston aircraft this deep in the Amazon forest...

@Osint613 France should deregulate industry and become a powerhouse again

without capital, your opinion doesn’t matter, unfortunately

[Ryan @Ryanotious]

@C2UXN3T ok offer an alternative solution

[Ryan @Ryanotious]

@JamesMelville all planes on earth combined burn through the equivalent of a quarter of a backyard swimming pool per second of jet fuel

considering how much mass is being moved, thats quite small

(IATA estimates 330 million tonnes of jet fuel consumption for 2026)

@KobeissiLetter capitalism works

@stkbullgod yes, but it should be contained to underground facilities

numerous small nuclear reactors would be disastrous in terms of targets of terror attacks, points of failure, etc

@SteveRattner the IP of either Anthropic, SpaceX, or OpenAI is worth more than most countries

@YIMBYLAND getting a train line between two major metropolitan areas in the US has a lower probability of success than setting up a permanent civilization on Mars lmfao

rest days are the biggest psyop in history

if you're a male between 15-30 years old, you should never have a rest day
