Mensen vragen me vaak: Mies, voor welke politicus ben je het meest allergisch. En dan zeg ik zonder te aarzelen: Marjolein Moorman. Lachen als je serieuze dingen zegt, is sowieso een red flag. Wees (nog) maar blij met dit minderheidskabinet

Cannot stress how much of an advantage it is to be a normal, well adjusted, applicant for banking roles. I reviewed a resume that listed “olive oil” as an interest. That is not an interest. It’s been hours and I cannot stop thinking about it. There will not be an interview.

I) Realism contains profound insights into the human condition. II) Most self described realists should not be left alone with sharp scissors.
Europeans are so naive. If Europe breaks from the USA, the USA could very easily decide that the only way to counterbalance China is to break Russia off from China. How? By arming the Russians and letting them have Europe. Russia then becomes a credible rival to China, and Russia

We need to recommit both to electing presidents of good character & to a federal government constrained by law. And as Republicans, we have to do it alone. Democrats will never be persuadable to either cause.

“The British historians wrote almost as if Britain had introduced Negro slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it.” - Eric Williams
No country did more to end slavery than Britain. How many of our children are being taught about the West Africa Squadron? 👇

Soviet joke: Guy turns on TV, sees Brezhnev speaking. He changes the channel: still Brezhnev. Changes the channel again: still Brezhnev. Changes the channel again: this time, it's a KGB guy who shakes his finger at him and says, "I'd stop clicking if I were you!"

Almost all liberal philosophers before the 1960s held views that seem extremely inegalitarian by today’s standards. The exception is John Stuart Mill, who reads like a woke guy from 2015 mysteriously transported to the 19th century.

Kids are supposed to be drawing these things
Hit Christmas gift this year: Stickerbox. Press button, describe something, AI generates an image and prints on a sticker. Great product design. We’ve printed hundreds of stickers so far. Made by one of my YC Summer 2009 batchmates!

American doing AI fraud: imagine, if you will, a burger
Amazing. DoorDash driver accepted the drive, immediately marked it as delivered, and submitted an AI-generated image of a DoorDash order (left) at our front door (right).

One thing that's fascinating to me is that billionaires don't fund movies, opera productions, music generally, hell even videogames, to their liking. You can give your favorite director/musician/opera house/band a bag of money to create what they want with no profit incentive
What's the closest modern analogue to the Medici family funding the Italian Renaissance?

in Medieval Europe, churches held mystery plays, often during mass, with clergy acting. these became so elaborate and some priests became such theater queens that the church banned clergy from acting in them in 1210. so yeah, they’d be fine with fruity priests dancing in church
