This video is a stark reminder that the biggest threat to US national progress is not some adversary like China or Russia
It is literally people at the bottom decile of the IQ range holding back the other 90% from moving forward
You are only as strong as your weakest link is just as true at the national level, as it is in small teams within startups or organizations
@planefag While we're on the subject I also don't believe that nobody could see blue and it's a contrivance of language, reference, and what appears in nature. That dye could show up and suddenly everyone 'sees' the color further proves this. Dumb shit only smart people fall for.
Being a parent of a teenager in the modern digital environment means begging your kid to play Minecraft or do *something* even slightly less brain-rotting than watching short video content from Spotify, which is what they're started doing because you've blocked all YouTube content from the XBox devices at the router level and turned off the WiFi and limited the carrier data throughput after 9PM for their smart phones, which they legitimately need because that is how their coaches communicate with them about cheer routines or band practice
And if you dare to complain about how annoying it is to have this second job as an IT admin just to keep your kids from guzzling down the worlds shittiest content, half the internet calls you a bad parent for not locking them down more and the other half calls you a bad parent for being a content Nazi
I was neutral-ish about Jensen resigning. It would really suck, but he put himself in this position.
But the Economist "Jensen must go" editorial swung me hard to his side. It's clearly (and clumsily) coordinated, and he must not give in.
Temp agencies and employment agencies will advertise they have office jobs. People not looking for work see this and then think people like myself just don't want to work or I would take one of those jobs. THE TRUTH IS THEY DON'T HAVE ANY OFFICE JOBS.

This was always the plan. We have to win. Otherwise we get Woke AI as the thinking & decision layer for everything and then life as we know it is over (not an understatement).
“We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They turn our states blue and we move away. They destroy entire cities and we fall back to the suburbs. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done!”
The African in NYC was killed by an African and not a black American and yet Africans spent all that time blaming black Americans. We need a complete ban on immigration for 20 years. I don’t think people understand how tribal things are going to get around here soon
“In McLean County, Illinois, a crowd of 300 surrounded the Evangelical German Lutheran Church and demanded that it cease using German or they would burn down the building. A Justice Department official on the scene ordered the church to comply.”
Nativism 1.0 was crazy.
I think pretty strongly that left of center outlets that want to be more respectable than the dregs of right-wing Twitter should have pretty strongly taboos against this sort of ugly us-versus-them racism
@tracewoodgrains We are now in the 3rd generation of the Affirmative Action Era that began in 1969. Very few people on the Respectable Left are still motivated by old-fashioned notions of fair play among the races anymore. Instead, they want some races to win and the other race to lose.
I think that the average American has internalized the “they took our jerbs” meme, believes that its a-ok for companies to have slave labor because you’re “white trash” if you believe otherwise, and thinks that the only problem is “criminal illegals” as if immigrating illegally isn’t a crime
Jensen Huang rescued me from probably living in debt the rest of my life. I was told I was one of just three hires that he approved during the pandemic, during a hiring freeze. I've never spoken to him, and only passed by him in HQ once. His personal life is frankly none of my business. But as a leader, I have yet to meet a better one. Ousting him is financial suicide, and I can only assume there is a hidden ulterior motive because I can't fathom any other reason for destroying the company's value.
