There are some personalities that, no matter where they go in life, they’ll begin to attract a cult following through no fault of their own.
Cities are so unnatural that they require central planning to prevent the masses from uprising.
They’re just so damned beautiful when done right, that they’re worth the slight hit against centralized planning…

I made the mistake of asking a bartender if they thought there was a potential IQ gap between some illegal immigrants and American citizens… did not go well.
Are we seeing a clear, even-sided, objective perspective on Israel and Gaza?
What link do the Epstein files have to Israeli intelligence?

I really should stop eating octopus no matter how delicious it is… I’m perpetuating the demand.
The octopus is a highly intelligent creature that evolved intelligence at an evolutionary branch point far in the past, pre-mammal.
The tentacles are themselves somewhat intelligent (its neurons are somewhat concentrated in its head but really spread to local tentacles for local distributed intelligence).
When we colonize the galaxy and have to deal with speed of light issues regarding communication, we’re going to need to model our efforts after the octopus, letting the individual tentacles have their own local neural clusters of intelligence while remaining connected to the whole.
It’s insulting to eat it.
Guess I’ll have to stick to steak.

Some people say Elon Musk is taking his son around as “a human meat shield”?! What an absolutely horrible thing to say about someone! I’m aghast that people actually believe that. If the bullets start flying, he hopes his son gets hit and bleeds out instead of himself??? I hope I never speak to anyone in person who believes that. I’d tell them how disgusting that line of thinking is, I’d ask them what’s their evidence of this, and I’d say this says more about them to even conceive of this. I’d make them feel so ashamed for even voicing that opinion outloud, and hopefully get them to admit shamefully that they didn’t come up with that thought, they’re just parroting it from elsewhere. I’d make them actually try to explain and visualize, in grotesque detail, what they’re actually saying. There’s too many knee-jerk reactions and opinions without truly digging down and wondering who they are and where they’re getting their opinions.
Overheard at the local expensive cocktail bar tonight:
“I unfortunately bought a Tesla before I realized Elon Musk was a bigot.”
Overheard at the local dive bar tonight:
“During COVID, grandma said we all had to be vaccinated or she wouldn’t come to Thanksgiving… so we just lied and said we were.”
You learn a lot about human nature going to different types of bars at a weekday midnight. Learn to blend in and talk to everyone.

The next set of attacks against America will likely be AI-enhanced cyberattacks, as open source AI models and agents that can write code and run scripts proliferate.
Corollary: Any budding politician would do well to get in early about sounding the alarm for cyber attacks as an underrated threat. A major attack will happen before long, and you can position yourself as “taking it seriously” before your colleagues.

Imagine a train where there was an AR layer between the window glass and the outside world, so when you fly to NYC and take the train in, your train windows show both the slums of Newark, NJ, and also dinosaurs infiltrating the city… real life windows with AR dinosaurs ftw. Make trains great again.
Your goal today is to become as useful to future time travelers as possible.
