Say what you will about India, but you’ve gotta respect them for leaning into all its least flattering stereotypes.

Technology is good once it is tamed by holy men.

Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #AI to cultivate moral discernment as a…

That’s the thing about assassinations, they actually work. Charlie was our best. Could’ve been president someday. And they fucking killed him. All this “martyr more powerful in death” bullshit is cope. HE’S DEAD. THEY FUCKING KILLED HIM. Some are irreplaceable. Lesson in that.


It isn’t even immigrants voting for Mamdani, it’s wealthy, college-educated zoomettes.

The big story of the 2025 New York Mayoral election is age polarization. 81% of women under 30 voted for Mamdani. Just 32-33% of over 65 years old did.

One clear lesson from tonight: Republicans need to pivot hard toward economics and affordability, issues that will only grow more central in the years ahead.

Many older folks (even many in their 30s who haven’t set foot on campus in years) don’t grasp this & may never: our politics are about to get *far more radical *economically in the coming years, on both the left & the right. Zohran is a sneak preview. You don’t have to like it.…

A lot of NYC's allure is that it successfully creates an illusion that you're in an earlier, better time.

NYC in 1993 Now exists only as a memory



Old guy down the street told me about a game he used to play as a teenager: blew through the speed trap at 100mph, outran the cop, parked in the next town, ducked, watched the cop blast through. Rinse and repeat next Friday night. Men like this built the country.

This isn’t a good thing. Guy is an idiot, but this sentencing is just as dumb – there are judges handing down lighter for attempted murder, or rape. The message this sends is: young White guys doing dumb stuff will have their lives ended, while black “teens” face no consequences.



Downstream of this: monarchy is great and all, but for it to bear good fruit, it requires lots of men of virtue, wherewithal, and good taste operating in relative freedom under the monarch. Absolute power allows men to be bound lightly enough that they can resonate properly.

Good urban planning is great and all, but I’m not convinced that no urban planning at all isn’t better.

The future of the right is “reformed” porn addicts attempting to impose a kind of Western sharia because they’re so weak they can’t control their impulses as soon as they see a bit of female flesh. This is what Roman women used to wear to exercise by the way.

Bikinis are soft core porn. The inventor of the bikini, Louis Réard, couldn’t get any self respecting woman to model it for him, so the first woman to model the bikini was a stripper named Micheline Bernardini. They were also illegal to wear in public until the 1960’s, because…

You were born too early to colonize the stars but don't let that fool you. It's your Sacred Duty to lay the philosophical groundwork, fund the technology and inspire society to reach for the star. Look at how many people today don't want this future. This, then, is your task.

if your engineers aren't themselves art hoes, you are not going to make it.

Someone said to me that the way to import 40 thousand art hoes to SF to teach engineers love (and thus save humankind) would be to open an elite fashion school. Considering the materials science infrastructure this is actually the obvious path forward for fashion



Is it just me or has pop music gotten better since the vibe shift?
