so amazing that - the universe gave us an infinite energy glitch - the US decided to use it to power giant underwater Gods (Ohio class submarine), enough to power it straight for 30 years - then entire society collectively chose not to use this energy source for anything else

Now to Zelensky, Biden, and the Congress, together in DC, an amazing moment. Credit to the US for doing what it has done, and for this show of support. But, as the grateful Zelensky said, it's not enough. Thousands are dying and the US is not meeting the moment. 8/10

Helping Ukraine isn't charity. It's paying a debt after decades of enriching and empowering Russian aggression. It's a wise & essential security move, because if Putin attacks Lithuania American soldiers would go and die. Ukrainians are dying to prevent that risk. 7/10

Don't squawk about budgets and resources. Helping Ukraine devastate the invading Russian military for 5% of the US defense budget is a bargain, mostly using warehoused arms. Even Kissinger admits eliminating the Russian threat long hanging over Europe is a boon. 6/10

Zelensky's visit to DC was overwhelmingly cheered, so wasting time on a few GOP America First buffoons isn't needed. Just don't call them conservatives. They are undermining global & US security for.. what, exactly? Why is weakening Ukraine so important to them? I wonder. 5/10

Slandering Ukraine & Zelensky as anti-Christian, undemocratic, etc. sends the message it's fine for Putin to slaughter as many as he likes. The truth is that Ukrainians are fighting and dying for the American values Carlson sold out for Trump and Putin. Go to hell. 4/10

Carlson's attacks on Ukraine and Zelensky personally are designed to dehumanize and to justify Russian atrocities, which are already ongoing, documented, and publicly known. It's like still backing the Nazis after Auschwitz was uncovered. 3/10

Carlson has moved from advocating for Putin to endorsing Russia's genocide in Ukraine. I don't know why Murdoch is allowing this on his network, or why advertisers support it, but I will not appear on Fox News again while Carlson is there. A bloody line has been crossed. 2/10

Fun fact: Wikipedia has 10 times as much money as it needs. Very little of that goes towards improving the encyclopedia itself, and NOTHING to the authors. Their panhandling is purely a grift for supporting the ever growing parasitic Wikimedia Foundation

💯 The only solution after the war is administering them like post-WW2 Japan until it is utterly reformed from the bottom up. Perhaps General Mattis will be willing to try to MacArthur a country?

Russians have committed outrageous, evil acts in Ukraine. Putin made the decision to invade Ukraine. But Russians carried out his heinous , barbaric orders. This is not just Putin’s war. This is Russians’ war.

Decentralization core duality is that once successful it has *perfect* constellation of attributes we want in global tech products. The countervailing factor is that 99.9% of the time decentralization fails to reach the “success” threshold and doesn’t work in practice.

The stage is set for an absolutely insane zero-sum match. On one side, one million crypto investors robbed of ten billion dollars by SBF. On the other side, a network of dark money Democrats who will fight to keep as much of those stolen funds as possible. The fur will fly.

The MSM needs to take accountability for its role in contributing to the legitimization and high status of this insolvent ponzi. Without the media's backing and the endless puff pieces, victims would not have been so trusting with their savings. Even now, they downplay the story. twitter.com/juthica/status

Sam Bankman-Fried was a Democrat. And not just any Democrat. The #2 donor after Soros. A vocal proponent of the regulatory state. Also a fraud — like the regulatory state. Which he legally bribed to target others but not him. That isn’t libertarianism. It’s the exact opposite. twitter.com/matthewstoller

You know what can’t be gamed? Self custody of your Bitcoin private keys. You know what can be gamed? Politics. That’s why SBF was the #2 Democrat donor. Pushing for regulatory capture that would let him continue to steal, just like Wall Street & the Fed. ft.com/content/428c78

The organization calls itself the paper of record and runs billboards proclaiming itself the literal truth. And all other media corporations had an incentive to collude with them. So long as none defected, that oligarchy could undetectably fabricate stories. Until the internet. twitter.com/joonian/status…

Of course, these aren't disjoint sets. Many billionaires have blue checks. But roughly speaking: blue checks are about status and tech billionaires about startups. It's old money vs new money. Old money wanted to kill new money. New money is wiping out the status of old money.

Google search is becoming one of those dying malls. You still go there out of habit, but once you get there, none of it is what you want. You can remember when it was a useful place to visit, but now it's weirdly hollow and you leave without getting what you came for

Normies trust institutions. Wokes call them institutionally racist. Nationalists call them irredeemably leftist. Statists on both sides want to capture them anyway. Anarchists on both sides want to simply destroy them. What we need is a path to build new high trust institutions. twitter.com/tylercowen/sta
