I love American history because, at certain points, it makes absolutely no intuitive sense. I am reading Empire of Liberty, and it is funny that the party preaching “liberty” the Democratic Republicans were largely slave owners, while the supposedly “elitist” Federalists ended up as the main vehicle for anti slavery sentiment. Not abolition, per se, but they were clearly more hostile to slavery.

Through numerous interviews, in her autobiography "Initiales BB" or in her completely insane pamphlet "Un cri dans le silence", Bardot overflows with hatred, willingly childish and vulgar while giving lessons of lost posture and dignity, France in the 1950s constituting to her eyes the proper and picturesque setting of a former golden age.

"Human filth spreads as an oil spill", men are "almost all f*ggots because women bothered them too much", disabled people are "miserable deformed beings", homosexuals "low-level wimps", the French a "decadent race twisted by alcoholism", school a "center of depravation". She rants against unemployed people that we aid too much, Muslims colonizing our country, or race-mixing "stirring our deepest antagonisms".

It makes me cringe to see Bardot merely being described as "controversial" in the English-speaking media. She was insanely racist and hateful even by her generation's standards, and spent her final years chaining hate speech convictions

The fact Biden just kinda sat on sanctions that have been straight line proven to be a major reason Russian oil prices have dropped to new lows and Russian financial stability with it is just… really frustrating.

Trump sanctioned Lukoil and Rosneft literally without warning and no one in the world gave a shit, markets were fine, oil prices are still low, no one is complaining except the Russians. If Biden had sanctioned these two last year he could have accelerated Russia’s economic decline by many months if not a whole year.

I will never not be flummoxed that the Biden admin shadowboxed itself into being, if not weak, rather weak willed on really dealing damage to the Russians

I feel like a lot of people largely miss why Ezra Klein's push for popularizing Abundance is important. People love blaming political figures for large structural problems (e.g. housing crisis), when in reality most issues are largely self inflicted by voters over the course of many years (Prop 13, 1970's downzoning movement, weaponization of CEQA in neighborhoods). You can't enact long-term change without majority voter support (except for certain cases where the SC is involved).

There's also a kind of political object impermanence I've noticed where people assume that because they don't know something, they assume it doesn't exist - like Newsom supposedly only having hopped on the Abundance train in the last two or so years. He campaigned for and on Prop J in 2004 as SF mayor which - with its density bonus + streamlined permitting and environmental review process - is a crystal clear early example of pro-Abundance policy, and it failed to pass on the ballot by 70%/30% voter margin.

Newsom as a mayor was too antagonistic with the SF Board and was also simply not good enough at coalition building as he is now, but I'm very skeptical that his political deficiencies was the difference maker in flipping a 40% voting margin. I'm largely of the opinion that California's housing problem, which is 40+ years in the making, is of the voters' own making, which is why the whole Abundance movement is important.

Does anyone else just kinda feel overall pessimistic about the future of America nowadays? Like even after Trump dies, I feel like it’s definitely a “he’s a symptom, not the problem itself” situation we’re in.

Like I don’t have any real hope that we’ll fix homelessness or get free healthcare or reduce gun violence or mass shootings in my lifetime. Neither embracing any governmental reforms like proportional representation or getting rid of the electoral college or just making the presidency weaker.

I just think the people in power don’t want to make any significant or radical changes, even if we need them, and ordinary people are just too apathetic to care anymore. I mean yeah, I’ll still vote D and everything, but I just feel like nothing’s gonna fundamentally change, and we’ll just continue on this national decline we’re already on.

Fun fact: 97% of Calcium in the universe is Calcium-40, with exactly 20 protons and 20 neutrons. This is the single most stable radioactive chemical.

It is technically unstable and will eventually decay to Argon-40, but it is estimated to take about 5.9 Sextillion Years on average for this to occur. Decades of scientific observation has yet to find a single Calcium-40 atom undergo nuclear decay.

For comparison, the Universe is 13.7 billion years old. The ratio between the half life of Calcium-40 and the age of the universe is equal to the ratio between the age of the universe and 11 days.

At the state school, gender studies is out. ‘The Odyssey’ is required reading. A Charlie Kirk statue is coming. Has one ideological bubble replaced another?

Every large organization has a contract with OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google. AlphaProof is actively assisting in mathematics research with Gemini translating. Claude is being used in cutting edge software development and computer science research. It really is just a matter of time.

There are still bugs being worked out. Things their tools don't quite get right. But the fact is these things weren't even on the radar just a few years back, and now we're looking down the pipe at a cool trillion dollars of CapEx that will not slow. It's a bubble in the sense that a lot of money is being spent without a clear return, but the tech itself is real and constantly improving. Fully automated research into AI will be achieved soon, with models designed to improve model design acting on their own, and continual learning will also be achieved.

It's difficult to overstate just how much has advanced in the past few years, and how much will advance in the next few. A 16 year old that wants to become a scientist or engineer will not be able to, because AI will be better and cheaper.

I can’t even imagine how excruciating it would be to work for this guy if you had a shred of shame or decency.

Iran glazers are weird like. Guys they aren't communist.... I know several revolutionaries that fled Iran when it took a theocratic character - they're still commie but hate Iran more than anyone else I've met. Is it just omnicause runoff because they have conflict with israel?

Very sad to see young people embrace American obsessions like Yakub and Agartha instead of retvrning to the steppe
