There was an article recently that basically said lots of moves on the right aren’t strategic they’re ideological. So yeah, I think the right really wants to control media, and isn…

I think the problem is it’s not the moderate 80% of each party that’s doing it, so all of the people who might be inclined to a truce are already at the table waiting.

I mean, I often like to say, I don’t need my medication when I’m gardening, but most of us don’t get to control our work or work environments this much. That’s kind of the point. T…

What is the argument that this article is trying to make? That it’s good that ICE is using a secretive app with unreliable tech?

I think I've come to this place where it seems like we live in this meme economy where stock price is separate of any actual value. Sure I'd prefer a world where money is spread ou…

I do wonder though how much freedom plays into this dynamic. Are young North Koreans “liberal” as much as they’re allowed to be, or does a stranglehold on cultural influences someh…

One question I have about politics and history, is does politics tend to follow short term events or long term trends. If politics tends to follow short term events then one might …

I think the one thing that I would say in response to this, is that isn’t this an opportunity for Democrats to paint themselves as the moderate party, rather than criticizing the f…

Why would people learn that? Clearly what people are learning is it’s an effective tactic.

My specific point is there are people in this world with “right-wing” motivation to kill Charlie Kirk, social media has been full of it in just recent weeks, just like if a promine…

> he shot someone on the right, which are both strong evidence of left-wing motivation on their own. I think the idea that there are two sides is one of the most toxic ideas in our…

Something I’m coming to realize about the free press is it’s really designed to make the world make sense. To tell a narrative the fits a certain world view. And I remember when I …

I’m curious if you’ll see more of this as the freshness of tech’s rightward turn wears off and the two sides realize they have very little in common. Money only buys you so much go…

Right but got caught doing what - trying to build a manufacturing plant that will bring jobs to Americans? It feels like the real loser here is the Americans who would have had job…

Got bored, went to read a book instead.

You're argument is that you think it's a good idea to base your intellectual curiosity on the priorities of a raving madman? Do you think that insanity is precise enough to underst…

And it turned out to be true? They were wrong? I'm just saying if you were using AI in an attempt to distract from the fact that the president was not available, that would be a di…

It does if they’re trying to hide physical/mental decline.

996 is bullshit, what slacker doesn’t start work until 9? It should be 666

But we won’t get there unless the company integration failure rate falls below 95%
