It seems very likely that humans will never again lead the frontier of understanding the universe.

None of this is funny, but, the current state of boomers as they age is about to seriously shut up every single person claiming the “childless are selfish.” SO dramatically wrong and it will be amusing to some degree to watch reality set in.

AI can give you twenty pages defending one side, then twenty more defending the opposite side. So the real question was never: How good is the argument? It is: “Did the reasoning lead to the conclusion, or did the conclusion hire the reasoning?” ״צַדִּיק הָרִאשׁוֹן בְּרִיבוֹ וּבָא רֵעֵהוּ וַחֲקָרוֹ״ The first case always sounds convincing until another side examines it. Intelligence can defend almost anything. Wisdom is knowing when you’re actually looking for truth. ✨ Support the mission → rivnitz.com/donate?utm_sourc…

Socialists be like: “Capitalism is a failure. Anyway, here’s how I’d distribute all the wealth it produced.”

Palmer Luckey warns China won’t stop at Taiwan… and believes Beijing is already building a historical narrative to justify territorial claims over Okinawa, the Philippines, and other Pacific territories. 🇺🇸🇨🇳🇹🇼🇯🇵 “This is my crazy theory, and people can disagree with me. But nobody in history has ever built a gigantic amphibious landing force, used it once, and then dismantled it—except for the United States. If China takes Taiwan, I think they’re immediately going to hop over to Okinawa, parts of the Philippines, and maybe parts of Vietnam as well. Xi Jinping has been talking about the Ryukyu Islands, where Okinawa is located, and historical tributary relationships with China. They’re not bringing up ancient history just because they love wandering through national archives looking at obscure tributary states. They’re constructing a national narrative that would allow them to convince their people to start with Taiwan—and then go after more of America’s Pacific allies.”

Babies that r easy r low IQ

"Call Her Daddy" host Alex Cooper & actress Sophia Bush: if a woman is questioning whether she can do better than her current husband, "the answer is always yes." "This idea that it's too late or you're too old, or who are you to want more, that's patriarchy. That is crazy."

"Only high-testosterone, high-IQ heterosexual males speak and act as a result of their mental model of the system as a whole. Everyone else just says and does whatever they think will keep them safe, and maybe get them a pat on the head." These are the types of absolutist statements commonly written by people reliant on audience capture for a given trend. It's not the type of thing that someone sophiscated enough to write Theft of Fire would likely write. If anything, it comes off as emotional and defensive. A classic but tragic trend is to start with reasonable/broad statements and then shift toward more absolutist/narrow statements over time, which happens either because 1) someone is trying to corral people (a demagogue) or 2) because someone needs the money (which shouldn't inform their art, but does, which is an age-old issue with artists). I'm looking forward to your next book and would encourage resistance against such banal and well-telegraphed failure modes that this type of direction tends to lead toward.

someone reads your tweets and thinks you are crazy btw

There is no afterlife, no cosmic justice, and no inherent purpose. Consciousness ends at death in an indifferent universe that will outlast every human concern.
