Just imagine what a couple years of using AI will do to us all.

I'm a full standard deviation stupider when someone is explaining a thing to me, versus when I'm just trying to figure it out myself. Being on policy really matters.



We are rich or poor not according to what we have, but according to our needs. - George MacDonald

A stocked pantry, firewood stacked high, and the sound of rain on a tin roof — that’s wealth no one can repossess. You don’t need millions when your needs are met and your mind is free. 🪵 🔥

The same people who think the government has always been and is currently run by "racist, fascist, greedy" monsters also want that system to have total power over your housing, food, education, and livelihood. I just don't get it.

We’re never going to settle on a single shared belief system and lifestyle for hundreds of millions of different people living in different places. That’s why the wisest system of governance is one that understands this fact and protects us from the people who don’t.


A big part of how we experience life is how we frame things.

The best reason not to indulge any form of identity politics is actually just the “Golden Rule.” If you don’t want other people to treat your rights as dependent on your identity, don’t try to obtain special treatment based on your identity.

A civilized society can only be achieved by a civilized population. People who can’t navigate ideas rationally without force, who abstain from no vice in pursuit of “winning”, and who believe hatred and resentment are virtues can’t create a civil society. The rest is secondary.

Chinese woman swam eight hours in 1976 to leave communism behind. She arrives in America. Her sons go on to attend Cornell and MIT. The kids support Mamdani. The parents struggle to understand why. How is knowledge of the past this easily lost?

Populists in government make people poorer, with left wing populists doing most damage. That’s the finding of new study covering most of the world from 1900 to 2020.

It seems to me that we beat the Soviet Union with free markets rather than collectivizing the means of production.

You *only ever* beat the left by using their tactics. This is the lesson of the last 200 years.

We need industrial policy to make sure we have the following industries: 1. Electric motors 2. Batteries 3. Power electronics 4. Semiconductors Those are the four things you need to fight and win a modern war. They also let you manufacture a huge variety of products.

Critics of industrial policy often claim that it's difficult to pick winners. But military necessity often picks winners for us. In the age of the drone, that has happened once again. We know what we need to build. noahpinion.blog/p/why-every-co…
