The idea that the government is the best alternative for stewarding is a farce. More freedom facilitated by the government is not on the bingo card. The more we orient to top down human regulation, the stronger the panopticon.
He’s diagnosing an important observation but his prescription is likely to make it worse.
Technology hasn’t been left to rip.
It’s been regulated to centralize for government control that wants precisely this outcome.
The let it rip critique is always followed up with we need more government to control the tech bros.
That’s actually the cause of what he’s describing.
You can’t compete with Facebook without going public and having a monstrous amount of financial regulation that ultimately makes Zuck captive to gov goons who demand he censor and thought police the internet.
Facebook then monetizes this absurd cost basis by selling your data. Something the gov will never regulate as they want the data too.
The core issue with younger generations not having kids is inflation.
A panopticon is in place precisely to prevent the population from ever understanding the nature of money and the inflation game going on that keeps them poor.
The gov schools become prison like gaslighting centers while private schools hyperinflate their prices as gov subsidized student loans and makes it impossible to start competitive schools or financially afford home schooling.
As everyone’s money melts 8-10%/year via inflation they flee from cash being a store of wealth and start buying hard assets like homes to store their wealth. The next generation can’t afford homes as banks are incentivized to print money to make 3-6% on a home loan. Loans are money printed out of thin air which devalues all non home owners money.
Everyone with an ounce of wealth flees dollars, gets a tax deductible home equity loan and performs a carry trade and puts that loan money into a 2nd home or into the market for a 15% return.
This inflated the stock market and the real estate market through a Cantillon effect.
Rich get richer and poor live on credit card debt.
You can’t have kids if you can barely meet rent.
And the schools are not teaching the kids to leverage this new tech but to instead protests it and embrace more DEI/Socialism which will only reinforce their impoverment and victimhood.
The kids that break out of this adderall mill and start their own business are thriving while the degreed kids find themselves with no employable skills and an entitled lackluster illiterate work ethic

The Fish That Ate the Whale: The Life and Times of America's Banana King a.co/d/069bAdNf
loved this book, endlessly entertaining & well written. who knew Central America’s 20th century revolutions were usually about bananas… Way better than having a pandemic so the government can roll out injectable mRNA technology & force it on you

Calley Means used to be a lobbyist. For Coca-Cola. My how things have changed. There is definitely something of a Darth Vader, “Luke, I’m your father“ aesthetic. That said, I appreciate a Paul on the road to Damascus story. Earnest, like a cold plunge, is invigorating.
PS he’s easy on the eyes.
I just signed up for Starlink last month and I got an email a couple of days ago saying my bill is going up $13. The email also indicated that other people’s bills are going down in areas where less satellite saturation is occurring. This feels kind of like Mandani shit, but right now I still love Starlink and I’m not gonna let it go over $13. I’m gonna cut back on Twizzlers.

You knew that the COVID vaccines damaged the brain when you saw everyone in line for the boosters…

If you are red pilled and know what’s going on don’t let it rob you of your Joy. Life is short.
I live in the present moment as much as possible because that’s all we got.

Everyone knows, sharks are safe…
"What I find fascinating about dementia articles is that the people who conduct the research, and tout the research, are obviously, by definition, interested in brain function. They want to avoid a failing brain. And yet, by embracing these studies, they reveal a brain that has already failed."

“Damage mitochondria” is a big deal.
The light bulbs in nearly every home, school and hospital were swapped out in the last decade.
Andrew Huberman told Bill Maher what we lost: the red and infrared old incandescent bulbs gave off. Today's LEDs are mostly short and medium wavelength, light that "has been shown to damage the mitochondria."
"This used to be considered crazy." 🧵
