I was involved in government (California) when this switch happened. I vouch for this thread’s explanation. It was a hippie mistake, a notion that took hold. No one spoke up for asylums. It’s past time to reinvent them.
1/ This chart has been making the rounds lately, and since I am an American and have both worked in a mental hospital and been a criminal defense lawyer, I have opinions. The idea that insane people belong in institutions came under 2-pronged attack in the 1950s and 1960s.
An interesting trend we're noticing at Stripe: US startups are pulling ahead of their peers elsewhere. These charts show averaged revenue growth for software startups in each location. US startups typically grow somewhat faster than those elsewhere. However, since mid-2023, US…
SAT scores were released today. Three girls in my Alpha High group were described by their parents as “not math/science girls.” They’ve been focused on other pursuits—launching a Broadway musical, competing for Miss Teen USA, building millions of TikTok followers, and becoming…
130K likes (and counting). These fools assume the world was always full of food, but it’s only due to industry, and fertilizers, and centuries of genetic engineering, that they no longer need to worry about starvation, and are free to spend their days complaining on the internet.
WE WERE LITERALLY BORN ONTO A PLANET THAT GROWS FOOD HOW DID WE FUCK UP SO BAD THAT I GOT A CREDIT SCORE
Andy Jassy, the current CEO of Amazon, has been with the company for 28 years. In 2003, he played a pivotal role in creating and scaling AWS which is the most valuable part of Amazon. A significant portion of the modern internet is powered by AWS. Amazon today is worth $2.4…
Amazon’s CEO makes at least $40.1 MILLION a year while the average Amazon worker makes less than $38k a year How is that pro-worker or pro-American? It’s time to put American workers FIRST
It's funny that people who dream of a world without capitalism are unable to imagine what the world was like without capitalism.
Capitalism is unnatural. Capitalism created poverty. Poverty is manmade.
This is a really dramatic improvement. Any state that isn't using the same techniques to teach reading has to explain what they think they know that Mississippi doesn't.
RIP Rudi Johnson. War Eagle Forever.

Those who point out falsehoods on their own side are assumed to be working for the enemy, because our hunter-gatherer brains struggle to comprehend that someone could genuinely care about the truth more than any tribe. This makes political movements hard to self-correct.
Words are not bullets. If we blur that line, real violence becomes more likely. My latest for @TheFP
RIP Charlie Kirk. Absolutely tragic. Lucky for 🇺🇸 that his central messages were nonviolence, tolerance of opposing views and the importance of engaging in civil discourse with those whom who you disagree with most profoundly. He often said “when discourse ends, violence…
We must repudiate the idea that "speech can be violence" once and for all. @glukianoff and I wrote about the dangers of promoting this idea on college campuses back in 2017, in @TheAtlantic: theatlantic.com/education/arch…
I can believe car deaths are bad but an acceptable trade-off for people being able to travel freely. Doesn’t mean I deserve to die in a car accident etc.
To those critics of Charlie Kirk sharing this headline, it's not a gotcha. Yes, believing in the right to bear arms means there will be unfortunate gun deaths. Just like believing in free speech means there will be unfortunate deaths, perpetrated by monsters who believe it's…
I call it naive optimism and I have it in spades
You have to be delusional to be an entrepreneur. The odds are stacked against you but you don't care. Everyone else sees reasons why it won't work. You only see reasons why it will. It's a beautiful thing.
Why is political violence spiking in America, even as most Americans tune out politics? Because the politically engaged minority is mainlining hate on social media all day long, and getting radicalized. noahpinion.blog/p/civil-war-is…

Civil war is for idiots and losers
Your neighbor is not your enemy.
Of all possible targets, they chose Charlie Kirk, a man who, despite holding strong views, was among the few political influencers who always made the effort to engage civilly and in good faith with people who disagreed with him. Perhaps this is why he was feared.
