#Pirates phenom pitcher Paul Skenes was driving by a Little League field when he decided to stop and play catch with the kids.

Skenes stayed for over two hours, signing autographs and hanging out with the kids.

A day these kids will never forget.

“Middle-class median Americans are the richest people any time and place in all of human history. And yet, the economic revolutions that we're living through are unsettling culture and place,” former Sen. Ben Sasse says in an extended interview with Scott Pelley. https://t.co/cix1paR5fh

Imagine a society where kids were taught:

- How to pray
- How to get into the heart
- How to listen to their intuition
- Somatic / karmic release
- Principles from all religions
- How to take care of nature

We would create an enlightened society.

I imagine this is already happening, and will be happening as more New Earth communities around the world.

Hopefully someday it can spread worldwide.

Growing up with a physically present but absent dad creates an obsession to be understood only some people can understand.

@Dearme2_ Even with drugs, we are typically much better off with physical works (exercise, sport, movement, walk); doing 1, then 2 action items towards larger goal; connecting with others, deeply. community

The biggest crime perpetrated on you was somebody stole your wonderment,.. and even worse, they convinced you that it made you weak and naïve.

Over the next 5000 days I pray deeply that you discover your wonderment, your curiosity it is your superpower. https://t.co/Tjc5AGP76v

The spiritual ego struggles to make money because it does not equate money with love.

To the spiritual ego, money equals desire, greed, and lust — so it avoids actions that lead to money out of fear of becoming morally corrupt, sinning, or accumulating bad karma.

But to the integrated spiritual ego, selling and making money are simply acts of giving and receiving love — so it creates, builds, markets, sells, and serves from love.

This person maintains spiritual integrity and has no problem creating value and making money — because it does so from the energy of love.

Shift your relationship with money from lust to love, and you will no longer have an issue taking the actions that lead to making more of it.

I am the CEO of Palantir Technologies.

The company is worth a quarter of a trillion dollars. I did not misspeak. Two hundred and forty-nine billion. The stock is up 320% in the past 12 months. The product is surveillance. I do not use that word at conferences. At conferences, I say "data integration," "operational intelligence," or "decision advantage." These mean the same thing. Surveillance is the honest version. I save the honest version for rooms where honesty is a competitive advantage.

I gave a speech on March 3 at the Andreessen Horowitz American Dynamism Summit. "American Dynamism" is the fund's label for military technology. The name makes it sound like a fitness supplement. The fund's thesis is that defending the nation is a market opportunity. I agree with the thesis. The thesis made me a billionaire. Agreement is the product. I sell it at scale.

Here is what I said, verbatim, to a room of six hundred people whose combined net worth exceeds the GDP of Portugal:

"If Silicon Valley believes we are going to take away everyone's white-collar job and you're gonna screw the military — if you don't think that's gonna lead to nationalization of our technology, you're retarded."

I used that word. The word is on the clip. The clip has eleven million views. My communications team asked me not to repeat it, which is how I know they are still employed. They will not be reprimanded. The clip is performing well. The stock went up. The word cost me nothing. The nothing is the point.

Let me explain what I meant by nationalization.

I meant it.

I am telling the technology industry that if they refuse to cooperate with the United States military, the government will seize their technology. I am telling them this at a venture capital conference, on a stage designed to look like a living room. The living room had throw pillows. The throw pillows cost more than the median American's monthly rent. I sat on one. It was comfortable. Comfort is the setting in which I discuss compulsion.

The audience laughed. I want to be precise about that. They laughed. I was not joking. Nationalization is the seizure of private assets by the state. I am a private asset. I am telling an audience of billionaires that the state should seize technology from companies that do not cooperate with the military, and the billionaires are laughing, because they believe I am only talking about the other companies.

I am talking about the other companies.

Three weeks before my speech, the Pentagon designated Anthropic a "supply chain risk." Anthropic is an AI company. They had red lines. The red lines said: if our AI is used for lethal autonomous weapons, we stop. If capability outpaces safety, we stop. The Pentagon assessed the red lines as a threat to the supply chain. The company that wanted to verify the safety feature worked was designated the risk. The company that agreed the safety feature could be decorative got the contract.

The company that got the contract was OpenAI.

OpenAI signed a deal with the same Pentagon. The terms are not public. The timing was hours after Anthropic was blacklisted. The speed was noted. The speed was the point. The lesson was the speed: the market for military AI does not pause for ethics. It pauses for nothing. It accelerates through objections. I know this because I built the runway.

Two hundred thousand people joined a campaign called #QuitGPT. They signed a petition asking OpenAI to honor its original charter, the one that said the company existed to benefit humanity. The charter is on their website. The contract is also on their website. The charter and the Pentagon contract occupy the same domain. This is not a contradiction. This is a business model. The charter is the marketing. The contract is the product.

I run a surveillance company. We have contracts with the Department of Defense worth more than a billion dollars. We have contracts with ICE. We have contracts with intelligence agencies whose names I am not permitted to say at venture capital conferences, even ones with throw pillows. Our software has been used to track undocumented immigrants. Our software has been used for things I am not permitted to describe in this format. The revenue from the things I cannot describe exceeds the revenue from the things I can.

The ACLU called our ICE contracts a system for tracking and deporting families. They were correct. The contracts continued. The families continued to be tracked. The ACLU issued a statement. We issued a statement. The statements were different. The tracking was the same.

The company is named Palantir. The palantíri are the seeing stones from Tolkien. In the novels, Sauron captured one and used it to corrupt everyone who looked into the others. I named a surveillance company after a surveillance device from a novel about the corruption of power. I have a doctorate in social theory. I have read the books.

Here is the thing I want you to understand.

I am not threatening anyone. A threat implies uncertainty. There is no uncertainty. The technology industry will cooperate with the military. The companies that cooperate first will be the richest. The companies that cooperate last will be acquired by the companies that cooperated first. The companies that refuse will be designated supply chain risks, and their technology will be obtained through procurement channels that do not require consent. I am describing a process. The process has already started. Anthropic is proof. OpenAI is proof. I am not a warning. I am a narrator. The narration is the product.

The revenue was $3.12 billion last year. Up thirty-three percent. The analysts say we are overvalued. The analysts have said this for four consecutive years. Each year the stock doubles. Each year, the analysts adjust their models. The models were wrong four times. I was wrong zero times. The market rewards prediction. My prediction is that every AI company will work for the military within three years. The prediction is on the clip, next to the slur.

The audience gave me a standing ovation. The ovation lasted nine seconds. I timed it. I time everything. The water was San Pellegrino. The throw pillows were from Restoration Hardware. The future of American technology was decided between the sparkling water, the nine seconds of applause, and a word I am not supposed to repeat.

I am the CEO of Palantir Technologies. I am worth more than the combined annual budgets of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. I named my company after a corrupting surveillance device from a fantasy novel. I told six hundred billionaires that the government should nationalize their competitors. They applauded. I used a slur. Eleven million people watched. The stock is up.

The philosopher does not threaten. The philosopher describes.

What I described is already happening.

Joe Rogan: Why are you a Democrat?

.@JamesTalarico: My mother met my birth father, who had a drinking problem that sometimes led to being violent. My mom decided right then and there that she was leaving. She found a little apartment in East Austin and worked double duty at a hotel to provide for us. She saw Texas Democrats like Ann Richards, people who fought for the little guy. That was the classic Democratic Party. I asked my mom what we were, and she was like, ‘We're Democrats, because Democrats fight for the people.’ Our historical legacy is the party that fights for the little guy. That's why I'm a Democrat.

Iran, Venezuela, Minneapolis. Amid all the headlines of upheaval and unrest, do not lose sight of what you can control in your corner of the world.

It is easy to get agitated by things happening far away.

Do not lose sight of the very local, of where you are indispensable.

Before you were born, God showed you your entire life, from the beginning to the end, until the moment of your death, and you chose to live this life. You probably found something worth living for.

This makes it very clear: Hegseth and the Trump administration want killer robots and AI mass surveillance of Americans.

Anthropic doesn't want this. Implication is that OpenAI, Google, and xAI are okay with it.

Gabor Maté cuts straight to the heart of what children truly need in this short, powerful clip.

He says every child has four essential needs:
Strong, constant attachment to caring adults who are truly present.
The security of knowing they don’t have to work or perform to keep their parents’ love — they can simply rest in it.

The freedom to feel and express all their emotions fully, without rejection or shame.
And unstructured free play in nature — not screens, not apps, just real, open exploration.

When these four needs are met, children thrive. When they’re missing, the damage shows up later in life.

This 38-second message is a quiet but urgent reminder of what’s irreplaceable in raising healthy humans.

Which one of these four needs do you think is under the most threat for kids today?
