you can watch this happen in real time with the la fire- is it possible this clown set a fire that lasted a week, went out, and then rekindled to become the fire .. maybe? that is a distraction from the mess that was the response to the fires, the lack of forest management, etc

The real issue is that we have forgotten that we are all sinners; anger is akin to murder, and we are all m*rderers. 'There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away; together they

as government institutions collect more of your tax dollars in exchange for less and less service every year, remember that every time there is a catastrophic failure (fire, crime, collapse): they will look for a civilian fall guy to crucify rather than look at their own failure

"you can leave the kingdom, but you're still paying tax" incumbents realize their industry is too regulated and too consumer unfriendly for growth. so they build a parallel less-regulated, often cash pay, alternative next door. this parallel system is "easier" but causes

Why do we build such ugly stuff these days? Look around: buildings, benches, and doors increasingly feel rushed and disposable. Somewhere along the way, we traded beauty for efficiency and craft for convenience. And so, I've produced the film below. To make it, I’ve partnered
I’ve made a short film. Look at the things around you: doors, bins, staircases, furniture, railings, doorhandles, windows. Do you like how they look, or not? Modern design has become boring, but it doesn’t have to be this way. The word “beautiful” is overused. We don’t need

every few weeks now a fee-drunk allocator declares "a company going from 0->2m is not interesting: only the ones that go 0->500m" this is, of course, a very silly idea. but its proximal to an important one: we are returning to a much older model of growth for internet

you could probably make the case that from the manhattan project until the genome— science was enough of the state religion that you could get by without questioning. this is, of course, a very silly idea. there is no apolitical science, it always was going to be the barricade

have spent a lot of time with capital S scientists recently and it’s staggering to me how few have come to terms with the fact that the work of scientific research and discovery is a permanently politicized. ignoring this and hiding in the academy is and never was an option.

there’s a reason so many traditional cultures enforce incredibly strong norms around depicting the dead. putting false words in the voices of the dead is one of the devils oldest tricks and apparently the inevitable end of technological progress

there is basically zero lucid writing on m&a as a result. the lessons learned are too uncomfortable to talk about or incorporate into day to day life. the only three great pieces on this world are "art of the deal" "99 negotiating strategies" and @jaredhecht's "deal feelings"

the people that most deeply understand human psychology are not psychologists or doctors but elite m&a bankers. being excellent at high stakes dealmaking, especially in zero sum industries, is about as close to the core of uncomfortable truth of human behavior as is possible

one of the most dangerous pieces of hubris we suffer from is the idea that history has nothing to offer us, that every modern problem requires a modern solution, and all that came before is the mostly primitive and uninteresting dealings of people that have nothing to offer

one of the greatest gifts we are given during our time here on earth is the collective human inheritance of all the greatest ideas, the greatest struggles, greatest lessons, and greatest teachings from all of human history it staggers me how little we care to look at it.

my rough view is that the future will look much more like the past than the present. we are at the end of a great historical abnormality: this level of cultural stability and relative secularism is over. we’re going back to the basics of savage violence and divine faith
