Here’s my hot take on a messy topic. Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan began implementing Neo-conservative / Neo-liberal policies in the 80s. This shifted the UK and US economies to high margin things like pharma, finance, technology

I grew up in the 80s in semi-rural western PA, and random acts of violence against me started in 4th grade and ended when I graduated (though much less in high school).

I developed some significant executive functioning issues over the past 15 years. The symptoms started shortly after I started taking bipolar 2 medications. I suspected that it was from the APs, so I looked for research and found a few pape

This is a complex topic. A lot has to do with "American culture". Culture, as you know, can last for millennia. First, I'm personally not against a moderately sized government. I'm an urbanite and lean kind of socialist,

A lot of Americans like to help (clearly we do since we funded it for so many years). But, a lot of Americans also believe it's not the government's job to do those things. It's not necessarily 'cowardice / avarice&

If you gather up a couple million of the smartest people on earth along with a few trillion dollars, and you add in super ambitious people eager to be culturally deified, you significantly increase the chance for breakthroughs. It's al

Over the past few years, I've seen several github projects that won't build because they rely on private libraries that are downloaded at run-time. I've opened a few of the downloaded libraries, and they're always innocu

I couldn’t get half of my liberal friends to even vote. And, it wasn’t because they didn’t like Kamala - I sensed that they were just tired of globalism.

I don't know, man. You'll have to go talk to some of them to get a better answer. This is my distilling of 8 years of conversations with average, everyday conservatives as I tried to figure out what they were even talking about. I

To be clear, I'm not a republican or a conservative. If it matters, I'm a modern liberal (i.e. what existed before progressivism but after classical liberalism). I'm just trying to distill what I believe the right says and wh

From what I understand, the funding cuts are primarily related to DEI initiatives. And, generally the administration is trying to align activities with its goals, so it’s understandable that funds will be adjusted. DEI is a target because i

Heh. Yeah, self-driving has been the laggard which muddles the predictions, right? The way I see it (and probably mostly wrong), is that you can't fund AGI with capitalism. Progress under capitalism is driven by consumer demand. But, a

It's primarily a test for obedience. Which leaders respond immediately? Keep them, and put them in positions where there are gaps after eliminating the disobedient. The secondary goal is to test for what the low hanging fruit are for a

The guy makes $20 billion / year just sitting still. I'm sure he'll be fine. It's just play money at that point. The equivalent to one of us denting our Prius. I mean even I make passive 10% dividends on my investments e
