That “aha moment” when you realize the US Constitution set out world’s first “open source directive” (& with Patent Act) first attribution to individual inventors against the backdrop of a King’s political “patent” grants & the secrecy of guilds. Then #OilStates
This is what happens when you believe that humanity is reducible to binary data—you think of friendship through the lens of supply & demand, and don’t understand why everyone despises you.
Apple May Face Criminal Charges for Allegedly Lying to a Federal Judge | WIRED [the irony - this judge was/is the go-to for #BigTech to invalidate patents - guess she’s running out of money] https://t.co/X9d4oa4Vvl
There is A LOT of evidence for my claim. Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Larry Page, and just about everyone within the TESCREAL movement (William MacAskill, Toby Ord, Nick Bostrom, etc.) believe in this eschatological vision. From MacAskill's 2022 book "What We Owe the Future":
The world's most feared investor.
Paul Singer hasn't had a down year since 1977.
His fund returned 14% annually for 46 years, going from managing $1.3 million to $72 billion through activist investing...
Here are 8 of his best investing rules:
(No. 6 is fascinating)
The pro-Hamas thugs at Yale did the exact same Nazi Brownshirt tactics of blocking Jews from walkinh across the @Yale campus back in the spring 2024. Just like in 1930s, there's no consequences for these modern Brownshirts - it's why they keep doing it and they'll keep doing it as long as their illegal actions go unpunished by Yale and local authorities.
This is perhaps the greatest thing I have ever seen. A self described MAGA touts the ability to use GenAI to produce “good movies” without any messages. Because that’s the definition of good art, right? The lack of any compelling narrative. Absence of perspective. No arc.
Steve Jobs announced the iPhone in January 2007. To value Apple in January of 2007 not based on the prospect of this cutting-edge device, but instead on iPod sales would’ve been a massive mistake for any investor to make.
So remember: when you buy a company, you’re buying all of its future cash flows—not just the cash flows for the next 6 to 12 months.
If you’re buying Tesla today, you’re investing in their AI technology. It is second to none.
I gotta tell you—I don’t wanna make a confession here on air—but I am trading on material, non-public information when it comes to Tesla.
Not because I’m doing anything wrong. But because when I drive the car, I have information that 99% of investors don’t have.
For folks who want to invest in Tesla, I gotta tell you—just do this: go to a Tesla dealership, schedule a test drive, and use the Full Self-Driving technology.
When you step out of that car, you’ll want to buy Tesla stock with both hands and feet.
This technology is magic. And most investors haven’t fully appreciated that yet.

Google Faces Its Monopoly Reckoning by William P. Barr [#SerialInfringer@google has done far more damage to the inventor & SME community & innovation at large] https://t.co/KAQUmvNnv0
@EliAfriatISR I love Golda's insights and tenacity - a strong moral compass and backbone in standing up to the exact same Jew hatred that has again revealed its vile face since October 7. I often post this meme (among many other great statements by her):
“He also emphasized the importance of innovation, saying, "[Inventors] are the creators of the world--after God". Additionally, he noted the irony of inventors often receiving little recognition for impactful inventions, while trivial ones gain fame and fortune” 2/2
Tim is such a blithering idiot! Hells bells, most of our greatest research in the history of our country, came out of people, from other countries. They went to our universities to do their research! The current Republican party are just brainless, MAGA cultist, who hate our country!
“Mark Twain expressed his strong support for the patent system, stating that "A country without a patent office and good patent laws was just a crab, and couldn't travel any way but sideways or backwards" 1/2
@atrupar The private sector doesn't research til it has a clear proven short-term cycle to high profits. Late-stage research. That's obvious.
They'll never pursue a drug with the potential to help people that doesn't have huge market potential. Good luck if you have a rare disease.
This man is a dumbass. Undo the damage to the U.S. patent system & then pontificate on “innovation”. Lobbying will always be cheaper than inventing!
Rep. Tim Burchett on medical research at universities: "They want to destroy this country. The research stops when the money stops. That's bull. We ought to put it out in the private sector ... and we find out that a majority of their students aren't even American citizens? ... it's a disloyalty to our country."
@JoeTurco@BrianRoemmele Boohoo @cisco they helped the Chinese build their surveillance state - what have they done since? Oh, broke the U.S. patent system - got it
