Hah. We’ll see. To reliably force someone into compliance you have to have power. Power acquisition requires skill. And these people are fucking clowns

As an international entrepreneur, I am delighted that large US companies spend their time and attention on inconsequential and toxic identity politics. More opportunities for us to exploit their weakness, create real value and shape the fut

i believe so, but for reasons different from Trump's arguments. the key point is that the media was extremely supportive of Biden and not of Trump. the margin of victory was small in key states. so if the media was presenting an even-h

Many of my friends who are US citizens are actively trying to get rid of their citizenship and are scared of retaliation of the "we won't give you a visa anymore" kind. I can't say that for any other country. Land of the

I personally know at least one rationalist who is amongst the wealthiest people in the world and got there at least in part as a direct consequence of his rationalist interests, uses the lingo etc. (No, I won’t say who it is) That being sai

LA has cool, attractive people. Which, especially for a straight guy, SF really does not. Plus if you are in Santa Monica or Venice the traffic to get to other cool places is not that bad.

Many of my friends who own large companies are explicitly saying they will never rent offices again. As a founder/CEO this is an obvious move.

I’ve tried a bunch of services like these over the years. As far as sex for money is concerned nothing beats modeling agencies or agents who find women for whom this is an occasional thing, not a profession. Professionals are always too jad

This is how I feel about taking paychedelics. Hard to explain to those who haven’t done it. Sounds like a cult. More enjoyable moments than any conceivable moments before. Magic hard to put into words. Changes you forever. People who haven’
