Por fin señales de lógica y sentido en lugar de solo suicidal empathy.

Implementar políticas que protegen a tu población, aunque se usen como munición para ataques políticos por algunos, es justo lo que los líderes deben hacer.

BREAKING: France has begun shutting down radical mosques that call for the killing of “infidels,” glorify terrorism, and encourage violence.

This is long overdue.

Tal vez no invitar a tu país a gente que odia tu modo de vida y que su misión es destruirlo?

BREAKING:

3 women stabbed in Paris.

The attacker was recorded saying that he had been ordered by Allah to carry out the mass-stabbing.

On te vend depuis 40 ans que sans « sensibilité de gauche », les gens crèvent de faim.

C’est exactement l’inverse de ce que disent les chiffres.

1990 : 2,3 milliards d’êtres humains en pauvreté extrême. 38 % de l’humanité.
2025 : 808 millions. Environ 10 %.

1,5 milliard de personnes sorties de la misère absolue en 35 ans.
La plus grande réduction de souffrance humaine de toute l’histoire de l’espèce.

Qui a fait ça ?

Pas l’aide internationale.
Pas les ONG.
Pas les programmes de redistribution.
Pas la sensibilité de gauche.

Le marché.
L’ouverture commerciale.
La Chine de Deng qui abandonne le maoïsme en 1978.
L’Inde qui libéralise en 1991.
Le Vietnam, l’Indonésie, le Bangladesh qui s’ouvrent au capitalisme.

Les seuls endroits où l’extrême pauvreté a explosé sur la même période ?
Le Venezuela socialiste (de 27 % à plus de 80 % en dix ans, inflation à 130 000 %, un Vénézuélien moyen qui a perdu 11 kilos).
La Corée du Nord.
Cuba.
Le Zimbabwe de Mugabe.

La gauche ne nourrit pas les pauvres.
Elle les fabrique.

Le capitalisme produit tellement de richesse que même ses « perdants » américains vivent mieux que la classe moyenne soviétique.
Un pauvre américain a un frigo, une voiture, un téléphone, la clim et internet.
Un pauvre cubain attend du riz.

Et le « social américain est un désastre » reste une légende française.
PIB par habitant US : 80 000 $.
France : 45 000 $.
Un Mississippien (l’État le plus pauvre des États-Unis) a un revenu médian supérieur au Français moyen.

Dans un système libéral, il y a plus de richesse créée, plus largement distribuée, et beaucoup moins de pauvres.
Partout. Sans exception. Sur toutes les périodes mesurées.

Être de gauche en 2026 face à ces données, ce n’est plus de la sensibilité.
C’est préférer la posture morale aux résultats.

La compassion sans résultats, ça s’appelle de la vanité.

Amo la nueva funcionalidad de escuchar Articles. Por fin estoy “leyendo” algunos del montón de bookmarks que tenía abandonados

@RepJayapal The human brain doesn’t finish developing until the mid-to-late 20s, and in some aspects even a bit later.

Do you think it is a good idea for underage kids to have to wait until they are at least 18 before performing a permanent surgery?

@IreneMontero Hijole, decir “no es democracia aunque ganes elecciones” no ayuda a tu argumento.

[Yus Jacobs @yusjacobs]

@RepDanGoldman Being afraid of something that is literally killing innocent people, including Muslims, isn't a baseless "phobia." It is a rational fear response.

@guyfelicella How much do you think he should pay?

@HassanShibly How do you feel about people who do not follow Islam?

[Yus Jacobs @yusjacobs]

@MrMikeBlake Can you point out anything incorrect about the events and perpetrators he mentioned?

[Yus Jacobs @yusjacobs]

@krystalball What of the attacks and perpetrators he points out is false or wrong?

[Yus Jacobs @yusjacobs]

@TheEconomist Is that what you got from this? The issue was firearms? No other thing you want to point out? Like, for example, who shot the firearm? Ridiculous that you call yourself journalists.

Increasingly more convinced that we are just organic compute living inside a simulation with distorted time perception running calculations for someone/thing else.

i strongly disagree.

imagine: someone is working for $15/hr in a bicycle shop in san jose. they aspire to one day create their own bicycle company, selling custom bikes to customers. but how? today they don't have the labor pool, startup capital, or capabilities.

tomorrow, the miracle of technological progress emerges... 2 robots can be purchased for $20k, setup in this person's garage. and used to build bicycles 24/7 on demand, AI is used to create a website and ordering system. and customers place orders online.

now, this worker owns and runs his own highly profitable business. an economic miracle. unleashed by technology.

a few years ago, i visited a farm in western australia. this guy used to be a field worker, he saved up and bought some large automated farm equipment and today he singlehandedly owns and farms 10k acres. his quality of life and the prosperity of his family ballooned. an economic miracle. unleashed by technology.

today, millions of individuals make a living selling goods online, working their own hours, while feeling more fulfilled. if not for ebay, amazon stores, shopify, etsy, these individuals would not have been able to create their own businesses and improve their own living conditions. an economic miracle. unleashed by technology.

taxing and burdening the creation of those online stores would have destroyed that opportunity and all those individuals would be worse off.

in the same vein, and to directly address your original example, instead of working for a video game company, AI will now let artists create their own video games and run their own studios. they don't need to be employed by someone else's studio or big company. AI gives them all the tools they need.

if a studio "replaces artists" with AI, those artists will now be able to compete with the studio, eroding the studio's profits away, while increasing the quality and quantity of video games in the market. consumers win and artists make more money.

these economic miracles play out every day in free markets, unburdened by the government's intervention.

as soon as the govt creates "taxes on automation", it shackles workers to old jobs.

automation IS opportunity. it is leverage for the individual, not just profiteering for the corporation.

at this very moment, i believe elected officials who are looking to get re-elected are finding emotional resonance with voters by proclaiming job loss and doom emergent are due to the AI miracle underway.

the reason the message of AI doom and billionaire blame is so resonant is because cost of living has exploded in the United States.

ironically, i'd strongly argue, the current high cost of living is due, exclusively, to excess government spending.

by creating govt programs to give people "access" to food, housing, education, and healthcare, elected officials have inadvertently inflated the cost of food, housing, education, and healthcare. if there is an obligation to buy, the seller (food company, home builder, education institution, and drug company) will be incentivized to charge ever-higher prices. and here we are with record high prices for everything.

i would urge you to make your existing government programs more accountable and eliminate those that aren't meeting their core social objectives, before trying to launch new ones.

rightsize spending to ensure govt programs are net deflationary, rather than inflationary. this would actually help people in need.

and i will tell you one thing that will certainly be deflationary to the cost of living in the US - automation. let's pls not get in the way.

Cuál es el rol del CEO de una startup en etapa temprana?

Hacer el trabajo del área en el que la empresa va peor.

No estamos llegando a nuestras metas de revenue? -> Head of Sales

Tenemos mal CSAT? -> Head of Customer Support

Tenemos mal Sean Ellis Score? -> Head of Product

Nadie nos debe creer en nuestras ideas, compartir nuestra visión ni tener convicción en nuestras capacidades.

Es nuestra responsabilidad vender nuestras ideas, ejecutar nuestra visión y demostrar que somos capaces.
