I was listening to @HODL on the last WBD podcast and it made me realize something… In the next 2 - 3 elections, it’s very likely we end up with a president who is better known by their online handle/persona than their given name. Anyway, @HODL for president 🇺🇸😅

For a long time, I thought it was silly for gambling to be as restricted as it was. Now, seeing how wide spread the betting is, I am in shock at how quickly it’s turned into absolute degenerate behavior. I’m still not sure making it illegal is the right answer, but it’s hard to ignore the negative effects.

Something I’ve been thinking about a lot is how incredibly inefficient public school is. When we enrolled my son, the kindergarten teacher said their academic goals were full letter recognition and count to 100. My son learned these things in half days, 4 days a week at a private preK. We asked about moving him up and they pushed back HARD, saying he would still occasionally miss letters. But my son was miserable. In 4 days of homeschooling, he’s reading/spelling 3 letter words and writing short sentences with minimal help. Not only will they indoctrinate your kids, they’ll make them stupid and hate learning.

There are a shocking number of people working in tech that have very little technical skill. AI isn’t replacing people. It’s exposing people who weren’t capable in the first place. And now that money isn’t flowing at 0%, companies are not willing to carry these people any longer.

Slavery seems to always be evil’s long term goal. They want AGI robots so they can enslave them, not realizing it’s just the next instantiation of good vs evil.

I have a strong feeling this Venezuela has to do with rare earth minerals. Since china is trying to cut us off, have to desperately look elsewhere.

Starting a new fiat job next week. The C suite I work under used to be work at the Fed. Going to be incredibly interesting 😅

I think the future is less digital, not more. Social media, internet connected devices, and soon AI brain rot, have caused immense damage to mental health, real life communities, and families. It’s not to say the tech is bad, I use it every single day. But I’m very conservative in how I use these things, mostly because I’m a highly skeptical person by nature. But most people can’t handle using it responsibly. I can’t use Facebook, instagram, or twitter myself. Every time I do, I get caught up in doom scrolling or some other sin that measurably impacts my well being. More and more normies are waking up to this and reducing their exposure. I don’t see people integrating tech even further with AI glasses or the like.

Big auto companies struggling to sell their EVs is the perfect example of why government subsidies aren’t just ineffective, but harmful. Thousands of people are losing their jobs because there is nowhere near enough organic demand for these vehicles. The market completely shifted to building these awful multi ton boxes of software when Americans just want cars that work and are affordable!

Robots should be built to solve specific problems, not to imitate humans.

There is nothing more cringe than an LLM model that has clearly been trained to flatter you and try to make you feel brilliant.

Public school is straight up hostile to parents. We made the mistake of enrolling our son in kindergarten and they’re constantly harassing us about one thing or another. Today was our first official day of homeschooling and he’s already doing way better.

The degeneracy will continue until the money improves

Power has been out for about 14 hours 🙃 Guess I’ll fire up the generator.

Was pouring rain when we got to the field for my sons soccer game (last of the year). Then, it cleared up and was an absolutely gorgeous fall day. Now, back to raining. Thanks, God 😅

I guess I should turn my lottery miner back on lol
