the reaction to the death of Scott Adams should contrast particularly with the (eventual) death of Bill Watterson, who will be mourned in the style of the ancient Pharaohs, with all of Ohio entombed alive along with him

They need all protestors to be paid operatives because they cannot abide the possibility that somewhere in the world, people sincerely believe in standing up for others. It isn’t enough that they’ve chased all moral virtue from their own hearts. They want a world where no virtue exists in anyone.
Trump on Renee Good: "When she was shot, there was another woman that was screaming 'Shame. Shame Shame Shame.' So loud. Like a professional opera singer. She was so loud. And so professional. She wasn't a woman that was hurt like, 'Oh my heart is injured.' She was a professional."

I get why a distinction between "America" and "the Trump regime" may seem immaterial to many Europeans. But Trump's domestic political weakness is something Europe can exploit, which in turn strengthens the hand of opposition within the US. Plus, the distinction is *extremely* relevant stateside.

They have fucking assault rifles and we have whistles and they’re scared shitless, because they know we’d rather be righteous and dead than ever be them.

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?

The interesting thing is profits are higher than ever since the bankruptcy. The dirty truth is it’s simply much more profitable to sell enormous gas guzzlers to Americans than it is to sell a bajillion tiny EVs to like the rest of the world.

"LLMs can't do anything" is a fringe dead-ender position in a world where people are already using LLMs for everything from home decor suggestions to writing wedding vows.
"LLMs can't produce novel insights" is an argument for a hypothetical world where the average person needs many novel insights.

I continue to think LLMs are absurdly powerful for learning, and I'm using them more often for it.
The problem is that a lot of people don't have solid metacognitive skills around epistemics and autodidactism.
You've got to have a handle on what you know, how you learn, and if you're learning.

the return of anti-semitism is probably permanent due to a confluence of several structural reasons:
- fading of the living memory of the holocaust
- the end of liberal hegemony
- Israel's behavior (esp when it equates zionism w judaism)
- tech-driven conspiratorial epistemic fragmentation
