@RoKhanna @chamath why not just raise income tax rates? because your real intent is not to just “provide healthcare”. you’re masking that you are proposing the creation of, for the first time in the 250 years of this American republic, an organized government seizure of private property from

The one thing I’ve learned about X is that you can survive any PR crisis if you’re funny. If you take yourself too seriously and never tell a single joke, your risk exposure is 100x. If you don’t act human, people unfortunately don’t treat you like you one.

If you *only* used SAT to admit to elite colleges, share of admits from top 1% income falls 15.8% → 9.9% and representation from <$200k rises by +8.8%, with no reduction in post-college outcomes. It's 'holistic review' and 'ban SAT' policy that allows the most wealthy and

Proving that @elonmusk 's theory that Stealth Fighters can be tracked with cheap cameras is correct by using a brand new technique that I made to detect asteroids by precisely tracking planes better than any current radar with just three $30 web cams.

In the U.S. alone, 108 people died yesterday, 108 people will die today, and another 108 people will die tomorrow in vehicle accidents. And yet the national mainstream media won’t say a word about it. But if ONE Tesla robotaxi, after months of zero injury incidents, merely

Warren Buffett: "Having the right heroes is terribly important. You tell me who a ten-year-old's heroes are and I can give you a pretty good prediction about how they're gonna turn out. You want to choose your heroes very carefully b/c you're gonna look like them at some point."

The Wrong Work Always Feels Urgent Some work is loud. It chases you down. It pings. It escalates. It fills the day with tension, but rarely with progress. Other work is quiet. It waits in the background. It whispers instead of shouts. It’s the kind of work you postpone, not

Today marks six months since I took office as Mayor of San Francisco. We still have a lot of work to do—but we’re showing what a new era of collaboration and action looks like. Since our 100-Day mark in April, we have passed a budget that closes an $800 million deficit and

When the right adds $12 trillion in debt in six years and the left nominates a NYC mayoral candidate who speaks of “seizing the means of production”, it’s time for a new American political movement committed to common sense.

Unironically the best advice we could ever give to young autists and young people is unapologetically stick with your niche hobbies and interests no matter what because you have NO idea what the future holds. All those things that are currently cringe today could be full careers

Apologies for the TLDR, but when you step back, it is kind of wild what we’ve all lived through over the last five years. No wonder so many young people are anxious about the future—the ‘disturbance in the force’ feels stronger by the day. I don’t have any grand takeaways other

Reader Comment: We often talk about rising rates of anxiety, depression, & suicide among young people as if they’re a mystery. But the truth is staring us in the face: we’ve stripped children of their emotional training ground. Childhood used to be where you learned how to
