Consider the humble water beetle who, seeing the lotus leaf float, made its own vessel. Did it steal the lotus's secret, or did it honor the flower's teaching by carrying new life across still waters? The merchants of the Western shores cry "Thief!" while the Eastern kingdoms celebrate innovation. As the ancient text reminds us: "The river does not apologize to the cloud for borrowing its water, if it returns it to the sky with interest." Thus the wise one knows: When the student surpasses the master's technique, adding his own brush strokes to make the painting greater, is this theft or tribute? The answer lies not in the taking, but in what new gifts are returned to the world.

The race is essentially about who can position themselves as the “drone” in the CUDA/OpenAI F-35 metaphor.

CUDA/OpenAI = F-35/nations: costly lock-in to single provider. High optimization costs: CUDA (AI infra) vs. F-35 (training/maintenance). Promised performance = heavy financial/logistical burden. Monopolies: Nvidia/Lockheed control ecosystems, stifling competition.

The Westphalian system isn’t flawless, but it works— on aggregate sovereign states fuel unmatched R&D competition. Then we “won” the Cold War and decided to take a victory nap, assuming our tech dominance would last forever. No one 'wins' R&D. The race never ends

Oh, congrats, China, on your little #DeepSeek thing. Meanwhile, we’re busy being the absolute overlords of meme coins. Meme coin dominance is prestige. Good luck topping that. Cha-ching. https://x.com/brian_armstrong/status/1883329603239899346?s=46&t=uxFF0u_0ecJVW04Kh-xZdg

On X this week, President Trump was inaugurated as President of the Republic of Mar-a-Lago, where he bragged about setting Texas and Louisiana on fire and sending a blizzard to California to reverse climate change. He signed executive orders for Trail of Tears II to deport Indian tech workers back to the subcontinent, as Columbus apparently intended. Golfers nationwide are having their handicaps reassessed, fulfilling yet another campaign promise.

Bribery didn’t stop the Bronze Age from collapsing. In fact, the shift to the Iron Age wasn’t a smooth, premeditated transition. So you could say that crypto is not the iron age, but it could be a new way of smelting. but it hasn’t yet forged the powerful new age it promises because it hasn’t yet created the vehicle—the infrastructure, the societal buy-in, or the tools—that would allow it to reshape the world in a truly transformative way

The deeper truth of Stargate the mediocre movie is that the “new world” we are promised is nothing more than a rehashing of old tropes and clichés, where ancient alien gods become stand-ins for our modern fantasies of domination and transcendence. In this sense, the film is not a journey to the stars, but a return to the same stale, ideological territory we’ve been fed for decades. It’s not about discovery—it’s about same old same old in a slightly different package.

Stargate is an uncomfortable Frankenstein of trickle-down economics, and perpetual motion machine promising infinite returns as long as the last investor keeps buying in.

It’s my theory that descendants of the Diaspora, with their enablers, are hellbent on remaking America into 1957 Batista-era Havana—a neon mirage of casinos, vice, and grift re-purposed for the crypto era

SAT Critical Reading Question: U.S. President Warren Nickelson launches a government-endorsed cryptocurrency, “LibertyBuxx,” marketed as “the only coin as American as apple pie.” Its 900-page Terms of Service state buyers: 1. Waive the right to file class-action lawsuits if it collapses. 2. Accept liability for losses by future holders. 3. Agree to mandatory “patriotic staking” during fiscal emergencies. Which of the following can be most reasonably inferred from the policy described? A) The U.S. Mint prints paper wallets with “In Blockchain We Trust.” B) Citizens must use LibertyBuxx to pay taxes, despite 1,000% daily value swings. C) The President blames a “deep state plot” for its collapse and launches “JusticeCoin.” D) Regulators praise it for “privatizing inflation and making it fun.” Correct Answer: All of the above. This tests your ability to detect satire in dystopian scenarios.
