Do I exploit my dog for (meager) social media engagement? Yes I do. But I have his consent. I said, “if you eat this bite of steak, I have rights to your likeness and can post on your behalf. If you refuse, I will take it as a no. But he ate the rare grass-fed entrecôte without hesitation.

Dude on the left is @Oscar Liss at dog camp. Obviously the boss of the prison.

Boulder, CO this morning. Was 80 here two days ago.

Reminder to write a post about how there is no justice in politics, just weaponized grievance. The seeking of justice through politics is a category error, and the aggregation of such errors is the present state of affairs. Right and wrong don’t scale. Such concerns are only for individuals.

Wife and daughter are at Target buying clothes. Walked around for a bit but left to avoid killing myself. Standing outside in the sun shitposting instead.

In the states right now, so @Oscar Liss is at his camp. Seems like he’s doing alright.

The economy is in superposition between a Great Depression and The Big Print. Sideways chop = Schroedinger’s Cat.

Might write something on this later but traveling in the US now, and TSA and immigration were MUCH friendlier than usual. Almost like they’re worried they’ll get DOGED. Most pleasant trip back on that front in at least 10 years. United also was much better.

Starting to think my morning Twitter feed is not exactly the epistemic breakfast of champions

who are the dickwads that are selling?

Want to rock these at the beach, let me know where I can purchase. View quoted note →

Traveling to the States tomorrow, think I’m gonna leave my laptop behind. Phone doesn’t have Twitter, my only news source will be nostr. Let me know if anything major happens like a nuclear war. Bringing one book (sci-fi novel Hyperion I’m already 40 pages into) and my hard sudoku book. It’s hellish trip, six days round trip to Denver and Austin from Europe. Even though I have a podcast which I will post later today, I rarely listen to other people’s FULL podcasts, but I’ll download a few for the plane. Open to recommendations if you have any.

not gonna lie, read that as “10 Secrets To Become Mentally Unstable” at first glance. 1. Watch TV 2. Trust the experts 3. Substitute virtue signaling for self-expression 4. Date/marry someone committed to the globalist cult 5. Exclusively save in fiat money and instruments 6. Spend excessive time on traditional social media 7. Inject yourself on command with pharmaceutical products 8. Avoid the sun 9. Eat copious amounts of seed oil 10. Discount anything not in keeping with your world view as a “conspiracy theory” and cut off futher investigation View quoted note →

This has ever been the case, whether via AI acceleration or prior. Anything you write or say gets taken up into the zeitgeist one way or another so long as one other person reads it. View quoted note →

@Alby -- still unable to zap. Not sure if I am receiving either. Please advise. Thanks.

The irony of “trust the experts” is this: when most people trust experts, experts become a desirable target for capture — Pfizer knows it only has to capture a few people and the herd will follow. As a result, experts because compromised, i.e., very UNtrustworthy. Consequently, people lose trust in them, and they lose status. Now few people trust experts, and gradually they become undesirable targets for capture, since they no longer command much influence. Uncaptured experts will think for themselves and start to predict and make sense of things more accurately. Eventually people notice, start to trust them again. When that happens, the powerful factions that want to achieve their agendas will target and compromise them again. Rinse and repeat.

if you do either of those things, reality will eventually intervene beyond your capacity to ignore, and the awakening will be rude View quoted note →

The Triffin Dilemma wherein the issuer of the world’s reserve currency hollows out its manufacturing base to buy cheaper things made abroad isn’t a law a physics, it happens via incentives. Trump is *trying* (perhaps it won’t succeed) to reverse *some* of those incentives via tariffs. It might turn out to be the case that you have to choose per the dilemma between WRC status and being able to make things at home, but it’s worth trying to see whether you mitigate it first.

Liberals' "theory of mind" re Trump is comically absurd, and Bill Maher was just forced to update his. If you think Trump is an idiot or insane, even though he won (at least) two elections over the violent objection of the world's most powerful factions, you are living in unreality. This doesn’t mean you ought to *like* or *agree with* Trump, but it behooves everyone, no matter one’s politics, not to live in denial of reality.
