it’s fucking ridiculous that the 2025 republican platform for budget spending is “don’t worry bro the singularity is coming deficits are fake”. i kind of sickly love it. what greater omen that the great stagnation is over, the future is here, history is not over yet.

peter thiel is apparently quoted to believe that the reason why there have been so few great companies started by young people is that gen z as a group is cooked.
you’re starting to see this in the current cohort of entrants to the valley. when all status & relationship are digital mediated, appearance and substance decohere aggressively; the nice car, the funding round, having a product, is only useful insofar as you can post about it.
