We were raised before the world decided convenience was a human right. We learned risk because nobody buffered it, autonomy because nobody managed it, and systems because nothing worked reliably. Now the skills we learned by neglect are necessary.

If your plan relies on someone powerful “finally doing the right thing,” you don’t have a plan. You have a bedtime story. https://t.co/H74MZsxYcJ

An idea becomes an institution. An institution becomes a weapon. The Doomsday Clock isn’t science anymore—it’s a stage prop. Where humans rule, purity never survives.

A Chinese professor tells the West to kill its industries—for climate virtue. He’s not talking to us. He’s auditioning for Beijing. Propaganda isn’t persuasion—it’s career insurance.

Most of what we call “knowledge” is interpretation layered on interpretation. We don’t experience reality—we consume explanations of it. https://t.co/k3jRz8y2MC

Greenland gains ice. Antarctica too. Cold winter. Real weather. Real data. But headlines prefer what might be over what is. Reality doesn’t negotiate—and narratives hate that.

China can take Russian LNG—up to a point. No underground storage, few cryogenic tanks, zero flexibility. Tank tops come fast. Curtailing gas isn’t a switch—it’s a minefield. Bad news for Yamal LNG.

Hope without action is not optimism; it is ignorance wearing a moral halo. In markets, politics, and private lives, it signals the same failure: an unwillingness to confront reality as it is. Traders call it holding a bad position. History calls it fatal. https://t.co/H74MZsxqnb

Billy Bob Thornton exposes how dirty and expensive “green” energy is—fair enough. But Hollywood never touches the real lie: the climate alarmist script itself. They won’t admit the scam. They’ll just drop it one day and pretend it never happened.

The idea that Venezuela “caused” or could have stopped shale is a convenient myth. Shale was underway long before 2008—culture, tech, data, wildcatters. OPEC couldn’t kill it. OPEC+ couldn’t. Venezuelan heavy crude would’ve helped shale, not hurt it.

We worship innovation and crucify usefulness. Tailors, plumbers, sausage makers: the backbone of society. Startups selling vapor: the new gods. https://t.co/bvx0XSbtFB

Battery fires can’t be extinguished. Fuel + oxidizer in one package. They burn for days. In a car, you might escape. In an electric plane at 15,000 ft? No shutdown. No mitigation. No chance. If it’s electric, I don’t board.

Democracy ≠ freedom. It’s the dictatorship of the majority—with a feel-good footnote about minorities. Majorities can be monsters. History proves it. That’s why individual rights must be cast in iron, not voted away in a panic.

Dante’s warning was never a curse but a key. Hope, as most people practice it, is the final illusion to be stripped away. Once it is gone, bargaining stops. Waiting ends. Reality sharpens. What remains is not despair, but agency— unsentimental and honest. https://t.co/H74MZsxYcJ

In the ’70s we had real pollution—acid rain, dead rivers, soot-filled air. It was visible, tangible, solvable. And it was solved. So the villains turned invisible: CO₂, microplastics. You can’t see them—so you can inflate them forever.

International law looks cool in law school. But who enforces it when a country says “no”? No executive power. No real accountability. Just cooperation—until it ends. Law works best close to the people. International law is mostly theater.

Rome did not fall because no one cared. It fell because too many people hoped. They waited for saviors, reforms, reversals of fortune—anything that did not require personal cost. Decline thrived in that waiting. Institutions hollowed, rituals persisted.

We worship innovation and ignore usefulness. Vapor startups get applause; tailors, plumbers, and small shopkeepers get suspicion. This is not progress. It’s decadence. https://t.co/bvx0XSbtFB

Empires don’t collapse overnight. Britain thought decolonisation and Thatcher closed the chapter. They didn’t. The Tories abandoned conservatism. New parties chase ambition, not solutions. Britain is falling from the pinnacle.

You don’t rebuild manufacturing by “deciding” to. Plants are easy. Skills, culture, and know-how are not. Once lost, industrial competence takes decades to rebuild—if ever. Four-year political promises don’t survive industrial reality.
