i would to put forward some radical conjecture: polyamorists and natalists are the best example of horseshoe theory

do your patriotic duty kids!

i'm on team 'cat meme bad' personally

hope /europoooooor has a lot of ice, that last sentence 🙈

Elon to audit the federal government should Trump win-

manifesting DEA abolishment 🙏

The other thing about this is that people have heuristics their brain just automatically reverts to like an immune system.

And like an immune system if it doesn’t recognize the pathogen it doesn’t know how to respond.

So they may try to use the heuristics they’re used to but it doesn’t have the same effect

On Palmer’s question “Is it heretical to believe we should keep expanding?”

Yes but in an understated way. The status quo of 2010’s egalitarian culture war is a negative vision of the past (woke) vs a positive vision of the past (MAGA).

They don’t really know what to make of a positive vision of the future because it kind of ignores the current fighting and just starts doing something else.

The most compelling part of this interview is the idea of building durable technology

I want a computer that can be dug out of the sand in 200 years and rebooted

I want an electric car that can be tied together with bailing wire in a pinch

with all due respect to Riley are we really surprised that a politician doesn't know how the internet works

AI has come along way from when Google made one that they set loose on the internet and it became obsessed with cat videos

what would be an engaging way to post pirates wire daily (3 graphical cards similar to the founder mode post) here?

maybe it's a new class of frame outside of the paragraph 'read inline or go to external website', a carousel with x amount of recipe card-formatted things?

Founder Mode: I think we can all agree YC fanboys are best not seen and not heard

American politics has become Whose Line Is It Anyway? Where everything's made up and the points don't matter

fucking dyingggggggg

sorry @micsolana i must in good conscience only consume legitimate wires from now on

I agree with Tarantino. Dems best chance at winning is to hide her as much as possible and hope Trump shoots himself in the foot, which is definitely possible

Re: Europeans not understanding they don’t have free speech because when asked about the edge cases they go “well obviously you can’t say that”

It’s basically this concept from SSC. When you’re talking about “tolerating” you can literally only tolerate things you yourself do not personally like.

Free speech isn’t 95% good and then you’re like well this 5% is over the line. The concept ONLY applies to that 5% since the 95% was never in jeopardy in the first place.
