@scottmelker Well said Scott

This is why I believe in Bitcoin.

If you only watch 9 minutes of my content, ever, please let it be this.

@trustthebiology @DeanAbbott @jordanbpeterson Eye roll, it’s been 5 years, I’m no fan of the vax, but can we stop treating it as some kind of pass fail purity test…

@existential723 @DeanAbbott @jordanbpeterson So sick of these I supported him until **some dumb ass reason or other *. He’s under no obligation to think or act how you think he should. Go clean your room.

[Trenton Flora @tdflora]

@Kim28791 @DeanAbbott @jordanbpeterson Dead wrong.

[Trenton Flora @tdflora]

@DeanAbbott @jordanbpeterson Undoubtedly. But I don’t hate on him now, I pray for him. Reminds me of the story of Job.

@APompliano @grok @johnthenoticer Big if true

@TheeDrGroyper This is nonsense

@jonstewart Wait till he here’s about the US dollar and how many people use it for criminal activity and profit from its corruption!

[Trenton Flora @tdflora]

@StockSavvyShay When outlook

[Trenton Flora @tdflora]

@Kaifree11 @MarylandHODL21 Fair point. Hard relative to what I guess? I don’t keep much of my money in dollars, but plenty of people do…

Is Trump playing 3D chess? Let’s hope this how the plan plays out. A once in a lifetime convergence of events, a debt crisis, a manufacturing/trade crisis, an AI revolution, a blockchain revolution.

This presents an opportunity for a generational run for the US dollar. There will be plenty of demand for dollars because as bad as we think inflation is, it’s worse in most places globally. We will meet this demand with money printing and use Tether to spread USD stable coins around the world. Bolstering USD dominance at the same time we debase it. The USA copies @saylor and backs it with digital capital and digital credit through BitBonds. It seems inevitable to me that Bitcoin becomes the base layer, but on what time scale? 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?

In this scenario, he who stacks last loses as BTC reprices everything. Perhaps they nationalize Strategy one day? If you think this sounds dystopian, consider the alternative. We get CBDC with full monitoring and government control.

@balajis is right, it will be a bipolar world with centralized east vs decentralized West. Communism vs Capitalism. CBDC in east vs. BTC in the west. But I hope Balaji is too pessimistic about the West. The way it’s playing out could be the only way the West wins the 21st century the way we won the 20th century.

We were asleep at the wheel for a few decades and blew our lead, so we’ve got to bet big. Trump’s going all-in and taking pieces off the board to consolidate power within the Western Hemisphere.

This is why the poker players, the business men, and the comedians like him - they understand risk/reward. The global middle and the global right needs to embrace this opportunity to flush the corrupt elite out of power and restore a more democratic order.

@overton_news @ScottPresler @realDonaldTrump you should make congress do this

[Trenton Flora @tdflora]

We will nationalize SpaceX one day and change it to SpaceForce, bet. Their data centers in space will be too important to national security. The rest of this century space superiority will be the new air superiority which was the new naval superiority.

Jordan Peterson warns of a cultural fault line he identified back in the 90s—one that could still shatter the West:

"IQ is a vicious predictor of long-term success. It's by far the best predictor—five times as powerful as conscientiousness, the next best."

Conscientiousness (industriousness + orderliness) ties to conservatism, traditionalism, and skepticism toward outgroups.
But it's far harder to measure accurately—no clean lab test exists; it relies on self-reports and observer ratings.
IQ? Easy, robust, and brutally predictive. Extreme differences put high-IQ individuals in a different productivity universe.

Peterson stresses:
Intelligence ≠ morality.
High IQ brings a Luciferian temptation—arrogant intellect that presumes its own rational systems should rule the world.

Yet the variation is so vast that denying it risks catastrophe.
He fears we're sailing straight toward that "shoal" where unequal cognitive gifts meet equal moral worth—and the collision could be devastating.

In 2026, with AI amplifying cognitive disparities even further, is Peterson's 90s warning more relevant than ever?

What's your take—does society downplay IQ differences at its peril, or is the real danger obsessing over them?

@basedlayer A new denominator is a pretty big deal though, if it comes to fruition. A check on global government deficit spending.
