NEWS: For the first time ever, the Tesla Cybertruck was the #1 bestselling electric pickup truck in America in Q2, outselling the Ford F-150 Lightning. Congrats @Tesla!
Elon on $TSLA short sellers: "Once Tesla fully solves autonomy and has Optimus in volume production, anyone still holding a short position will be obliterated. Even Gates."
Tech gets this because we look at cap tables all day. Inflation is dilution on a cap table. That’s why share issuance is a highly ritualized process. Everyone tracks fully diluted ownership (and the full liquidation waterfall) not just the nominal number of shares.
Keynesians know this too. Their whole solution for “sticky wages” is to stick the workers with silent and deniable pay cuts by inflating the currency.
Another Keynesian trick is obfuscating the denominator. Is the relevant money supply M0/M1/M2/M3? It’s not kept simple like the 21M hard cap on Bitcoin. They stopped collecting M3 in 2006, they changed the definition of M2 in 2020, and you are called naive for even paying attention to it.
Yet another Keynesian trick is keeping it opaque as to exactly who’s getting the printed money first, who’s benefiting from the Cantillon effect, and how the printed money is being spent. We know it’s going to large banks, but again because there’s no blockchain we can’t track it onchain.
One more Keynesian trick is to print the money, dilute down everyone in the economy, and then when those who were stolen from have to raise prices on each other…to then swoop in as the government on one side and attack the *businesses* for raising prices and shrinking portions.
In short, the Fed’s scam steals invisibly from everyone and turns society against each other. In the example below, Coke employees were diluted down just like you were. Both were made poorer by Powell. But you can only see the company’s actions and not the state’s inflation which led to those actions.

In case you were wondering how superconductors work, this is a good explanation. They are a very interesting phenomenon and may prove economically useful, but are not a hard requirement for a sustainable energy future.
Physics has many powerful tools of reasoning to understand and predict reality. Those tools, like first principles analysis and thinking in the limit, are broadly applicable to anything, in my experience.
With Grok, @xAI is attempting to create an AI that reasons from first principles, which is fundamental if you care about getting as close to the truth as possible.
The acid test would be reaching a conclusion that is correct even if it is extremely unpopular, which means being right even when the training data is almost entirely wrong.
For example, Galileo concluded, after observing the moons of Jupiter from a telescope he engineered, that it was far more probable that Earth revolved around the Sun than the other way around. This view was so unpopular that he was forced to recant and placed under house arrest!
If you had trained an LLM on material back then, it would’ve given you the popular, but wrong, explanation. Due to social and legal pressure, it likely wouldn’t even acknowledge the possibility that the Earth revolved around the Sun.
For AI to help us understand the true nature of the universe, it must be able to discard the popular, but wrong, in favor of the unpopular, but right.
If you're kind of confused by this whole bitcoin thing and view it as a mania, it's not a bad time to read Broken Money.

Let's be honest
A lot of people did not expect Bitcoin to get back to ATH territory with Fed Funds at 5.33% and the average mortgage rate at 7.27%
It was a speculative, zero-interest rate, easy money phenomenon, they said
