If she’s 14 and they’re making nude deepfakes, is that child pornography?
I’m asking, but it logically follows that it could be prosecuted under the same laws
@matt_vanswol
That sounds no different from religion
-Accepting everything as dogma
-Using confession as a panacea for bad behavior
-Equating attendance with being a good person
It’s probably a net positive for society on the whole

@LegoRacers2
I think it’s great.
It’s so much more humble and genuine than a lot of western religions who claim to understand the totality of “divine revelation” and tell you with confidence “everyone else is wrong or misguided”

@TaylorLorenz
Journalism is just getting decentralized
I have no problem with that
People will get their information from sources they trust, based on creators who build that trust by delivering factual information and admitting when they’re wrong
@heyalexfriedman
It is an interesting dynamic. I feel like male friendships are there to escape small talk, not engage in it. Hence why we never have any gossip or information for the women in our lives after hanging out
@vivgraves
They actually did something really important legally which is defined the term “start date”
If it’s not a defined term it can’t hold up in court (God forbid)

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences
It means you cannot be jailed by the government for expressing a belief
It has nothing to do with private industry
Can she express this view? Yes
Can Wix fire her because it doesn’t fit their company values? Yes
@AmandaMGoetz
Also because time is experienced proportionally.
When you're 10, one hour is a much greater proportion of your concept of time vs when you're 50
It's relative and based on your perception

I don’t think porn is a good thing but let’s be real here, the first time I found a girl cute was in second grade
I was 13 in seventh grade. People were dating
@HotForMoot
A) those places are much different culturally
B) we helped rebuild their economies
When you have economic opportunity you don’t have to be a terrorist
Musk addresses both these points if you actually listen to the podcast and not a sound bite

Except that Russia invaded Ukraine and Hamas invaded Israel.
Forgot that part did ya?
I’m not a fan of the war in Ukraine but let’s not pretend they’re the same
@sf_mills
Is that a bad thing? I’m confused.
Why wouldn’t someone want to learn math so they could earned a higher than average salary and accelerate human achievement
Opportunities don’t just appear. You have to position for them, and that is how the doors open. By positioning well, you create the thing you seek.

@visakanv
Great analogy.
I’ve often thought about is like the mirror of erised from Harry Potter
“It can show you what you want. Whatever you want.”
“True but what you see might not be true or even possible. Hundreds have wasted away in front of it. It does not do to dwell on dreams
@packyM
I turned it off halfway through.
I wanted to hear Altman’s take on things, not his polite incredulity about Rogans theories that our monkey body will be superfluous in one generation, micro plastics are ruining our body etc etc
The ep with Lex earlier this year was better
@wanyeburkett
I watched Roosevelt’s speech today. Was nice to witness an actual leader addressing a nation
I recommend his first inaugural address as well
@bengrossbg
Why is giving a family $2000 once a better investment than paying for a doctor to learn how practice medicine for the rest of their life?
It’s literally the difference between giving a person a fish or teaching a person to fish
Those doctors will benefit infinitely more
@dustinthomasXO
Books written just postwar by those who were in it (1947 - 1958) will change your life
Salinger, Bradbury and Rand may be the most based writers of all time
There is huge alpha in seeking out young, smart, ambitious people who can’t only rely on big names or sponsorship dollars for their content
They know they have to deliver superior signal to noise and it shows
A few examples:
@TheTylerCho

@MollySOShea
@JonHaidt
It’s such a strange Neo Marxist pretzel
they separate groups between the culturally “oppressed” and “oppressors”.
If you a member of an oppressed group, by definition your actions against an oppressor can always be justified

You should really brush up on Thomas Malthus

So why did Ilya and Adam switch sides?
Why couldn’t she give a substantial explanation to Emmett or the employees?
Or even here now? This was a useless saving face word salad

@hlntnr
She didn’t originate the technology, build the company or further it in any meaningful way.
Please don’t compare her to Oppenheimer when she didn’t actually DO anything
@rationalaussie
That moment when you realize it took a year (13.5 months) to build the entire Empire State Building
That was using technology 90 years ago
At one point during construction they were adding ten stories every WEEK
@nickcammarata
Paying for “enlightenment” is nonsensical, because you won’t understand what it means to be “enlightened” if you never go on the journey to get there
Awakening is about the journey, and enlightenment is a practice, not a static state you can achieve once
@kylascan
Great points! Do you think there’s a danger of unions creating negative latent functions for their members by getting better conditions (32 hour workweeks, better pay etc) which ultimately incentivize corporations to mechanize, ai optimize or ship jobs overseas?
Actually, the bill incentivizes TikTok to remain in America.
You just have to separate from your parent company that is controlled by a genocidal, communist dictatorship actively threatening Americans.
It’s your choice. You have the ‘Freedom.’

might be my favorite conversation this year.
Some of my favorite moments:
“I believe in Spinoza’s god, who reveals Himself in the lawful harmony of the world, not in a god who concerns himself with the fate and the doings of mankind.” -
