I don't think we have fully reckoned with the generational effects of venture capital on the social positioning of the very wealthy. The current American pathway to wealth requires one to treat others as disposable. It is difficult to come back from that, especially with ungodly wealth.

Do this in parallel with lots of young people and you are guaranteed to turn money into exponentially more money. You also convert those people's twenties into an endless grind that can easily turn them into the bitter, mercenary objectivists that are currently destroying our country

The VC loop for sure-thing money is:

1. Find a young person who seems like a leader (intelligence isn't necessary; they can hire intelligent people and undercomp them)
2. Give them two years of runway
3. If they hit you make money. If they fail it's *their* years wasted and you sell the assets

something i think is underdiscussed in tech is how venture capital is an engine that turns youth into money, and that this is why its most platonically ideal avatars (the vampiric thiel, the son-drinking johnson) are obsessed with reclaiming a spent youth.

best part about parenting is everyone has the same anecdotes. universal behaviors. the other dads complete my sentences: “and I told her honey you can’t just wander into the dojo when daddy is one with the blade lest I mistake you for my ancient enemy and eviscerate you.” knowing chuckles, nods

genuine question: what do you gain experientially or spiritually by aggressively replying to people on here. i can never understand why people do this. this is the first time i've ever replied to anyone, my curiosity has finally bested me

Hey, I think I’m going to buy this! Is the 16x24 size supposed to be $400, though? Seems a bit of a jump, thought maybe there was a typo

_staring at the sky, alone, backlit by the atom flash_ chat they're calling it world war three what do you think about that

saw on @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social that the first telegraph message was “what hath God wrought?” More inventors should do this. I want the creator of Hasbro’s Mousetrap to be muttering what hath God wrought as the cage finally comes down

Found a tiny god dead in the garden fence. Looked like it got stuck and then in fear its divine ember burned too hot, cracked, and cooled. I buried it facing the south

Joining a weird programmer cult. They know how to manipulate a small number of machines that are created specifically to be manipulated by commands that can be learned and googled so they probably have a line on ultimate truths

In a blog post for the SCS, I explore the Roman army as a self-consciously multi-ethnic force, responding to racist efforts to purge profiles of minorities and women in the nation's service from DOD websites.

The neologism of addressing an unseen audience as "chat" is just fantastic. One of the best new slang words of my lifetime, amusing every time

I've seen enough:
