There is nothing more important than defending Western Civilization So I am happy to say I'm bringing the USS Hornet Defense Tech Hackathon back as an annual tradition. 360 hackers on a WW2 aircraft carrier. Overnight in the bunks. Jan 30/31

I highly recommend folks in NYC to attend this - @0xNickAllen runs an incredible community and space and @NathanMontone is pretty fearless for diving into controversial but fascinating topics
Launching a new event series on 'Heretical Science' at Club Reign starting this Thursday with @M31Capital and @NathanMontone.

I suppose dark energy is an exception but dark energy may very well turn out to not be real

I guess Chinese models really were the biggest threat…

Imagine trying to stay quiet about something when you named your supersonic airliner company Boom.
Boom was unusually loud and proud describing their single crystal turbine blade development program - Blade Runner - at this year's SF @deeptechweek

Boom will be unusually quiet about details of our single crystal turbine tech. AFAIK we are years ahead of any other foundry—particularly those in China—so we will keep our work under wraps. I usually love building in public but in this case it would not be responsible.

The root of all evil is belief in a fair double standard If you want to know if any society, culture, religion will engage in evil acts without remorse you need only ask one question "Have they codified a justification of a double standard?" In other words, Kants categorical imperative is the simplest litmus test for civilizational morality "Act such that your principle becomes a general maxim" This immediately banishes slavery, theft, deceit, rape, murder, and countless other lesser evils. Very few societies have achieved this. Perhaps some only asymptotically.
