This is one of the biggest geopolitical mysteries of the year: why did China just save the world economy? Because, make no mistake, it absolutely did. Analysts are pretty much unanimous on this: had China not dramatically - and I mean dramatically - reduced its oil imports this year, the price of crude oil would have gone through the roof and dragged the global economy down with it. For proof, read how Javier Blas from Bloomberg - widely recognized as one of the world’s top energy analysts - explains what China did to Jake Sullivan and Jon Finer on their podcast “The Long Game” (thelonggame.substack.com/p/transcript-h…). As Blas puts it, China went “from 11, 12 million barrels a day to less than 6 million barrels a day” of seaborne crude imports, and that “freed a lot of oil for other countries, particularly in Asia.” India, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia “could buy the barrels that China was not buying.” To be clear, China wasn’t the only factor - surging US exports and the IEA’s emergency release helped too - but it was by far the biggest: JPMorgan reckons China accounted for about 74% of the fall in global crude trade (fortune.com/2026/06/10/oil…). So it's no exaggeration to say that it is China, first and foremost, that saved the world economy this year. If you remember the early days of the Iran war, none of this is what was predicted. In fact some US think tankers, such as the (always horrendous) Zineb Riboua from the Hudson Institute, were even cheering the war as being “all about China… the opening act in the larger contest against China,” the moment the US would crack “the central pillar of a regional order that Beijing has assembled” (thefp.com/p/the-iran-str…). Seven months on, what actually happened is that not only did China come out of the war unscathed economically, and strengthened strategically, it also ended up shielding the world economy, America’s included, from the fallout of the very war that was supposed to be its undoing. Breaking news: if you do something that’s supposed to be a “blow” to someone else - some sort of 3D chess move to gain the upper hand - and they end up having to rescue you from the fallout, maybe it wasn’t such a brilliant strategic move after all. So how did China pull it off? And, more intriguingly, why did it choose to rescue countries, including the US, from a war that Washington’s own hawks were openly selling as a strike against China itself? And why do this when it effectively dampened Iran's leverage considerably, even though they're supposed to be China's "ally" (which, as we'll see, is false)? This is the topic of my latest article. I went very deep researching all the Chinese sources I could find on this, looking at the exact legal mechanisms, and at what officials, oil refiners and state media actually said. The answer turns out to be far stranger than I expected: no-one in Beijing actually ever ordered an import cut. China, effectively, seems to have saved the world economy incidentally, as a by-product of its own domestic policy to protect Chinese consumers. Which is the real story here: China has become so large and so important it can just rescue the world economy as a mere side effect. In fact what I discovered, hilariously, is that the Chinese were just as surprised as anyone else: it’s only weeks after Western media started crediting China with saving the world economy that Chinese media picked up the story. And even then, CCTV’s first take in July (chinanews.com.cn/gj/2026/07-05/…) presented it as something 外媒称 (wàiméi chēng, “foreign media claim”) 🤣 Almost like a giant suddenly waking up to its own powers. Because, that's the thing: intentions fade, consequences stay. Intentional or not, as Igor Sechin, the head of Rosneft, Russia’s largest oil company, put it (reuters.com/business/aeros…), the consequence is that it's now China, not OPEC, who calls the shots on global energy markets. The valve of global oil pricing is now in Shandong, not in Zhongdong anymore (Zhongdong, 中东, is the Middle East in Chinese). Full article here, with how China’s 20-year strategic nightmare, the “Malacca dilemma”, has now effectively become its leverage over the rest of the world: arnaudbertrand.substack.com/p/why-did-chin…

Connect your ChatGPT and Claude subscriptions to Grok @bot with the prompt below (@elonmusk approved): Connect my Claude and ChatGPT subscriptions so all of my bots can use them. 1. On your computer, install the Claude Code CLI and the OpenAI Codex CLI (upgrade Node if needed). Start each subscription login (Claude: `claude setup-token`; Codex: `codex login --device-auth`) and send me the sign-in links and codes. I'll sign in and paste back anything you need. Store the Claude token privately and load it automatically. 2. Set the defaults to these models: Claude Opus 5.5 for Claude Code and 6.1 Sol for Codex. Test each one with a quick prompt and tell me which models answered. 3. Add these MODEL ROUTING RULES to every one of my bots' system prompts, including yours. Keep everything else in each prompt exactly as it is: - Writing (drafts, emails, posts, replies, copy, briefs): write the final text with Claude through the CLI, then review it against the bot's voice rules. - Coding, scripts, data processing, and terminal work: use Codex. - Browser and desktop tasks: keep using your normal computer tools. - If either CLI fails, do the task yourself and say so. 4. Save the same rule to my shared memory so any bot I create later follows it too. 5. When you're done, tell me which bots you updated and confirm both tests passed.

Railway hacked AI SEO, and it took them from $20M to ~$100M ARR in 1 year: 1/ Claude Code picks Railway for 82% of Python apps -> Ask it "how do I deploy this" and it installs Railway and puts your app live there 2/ The founder treats AI recommendations as a growth channel -> His go-to-market team works on getting the models to "recommend us more and more" 3/ 6,653 how-to pages, one for every popular free tool people want to run themselves -> Someone asks Google or ChatGPT "how do I set up n8n?" and Railway's page comes up. It explains the tool and sets it up on Railway in one click 4/ A step-by-step guide for every framework developers build with -> 127 guides: Next.js, Django, Rails, FastAPI, Laravel, Go and more. Each one answers "how do I deploy X" and ends with the app live on Railway 5/ A comparison page against every competitor -> Heroku, Vercel, Render, Replit, Lovable and 5 more, each with a migration guide. AI loves quoting comparisons 6/ Railway rewrote its help pages so AI can read them easily -> One file lists all 414 pages with a short summary each, and every page has a plain-text version. When someone asks ChatGPT how to use Railway, it finds the right answer fast and gets it right 7/ A docs section written for agents -> One step installs everything Claude Code or Cursor needs to deploy to Railway on its own 8/ Plugins inside ChatGPT and Claude Code -> You ask the chat to deploy and it deploys, without ever opening Railway's website 9/ A server with one command and no signup -> ssh railway new gives an agent the shortest path to "your app is live" 10/ A new changelog page every Friday since 2021 -> 312 pages of fresh content that keep Railway in front of Google and the models 11/ Every new AI model brings a new jump in signups -> More code gets written, all of it needs to run somewhere, and this year the summer slowdown disappeared 12/ A go-to-market team of 7 runs all of it -> The pages, docs and plugins keep selling while they sleep 13/ The one hole: front-end apps -> Claude Code picks Vercel 100% of the time for Next.js and React apps. Railway wins Python, Vercel wins everything that runs in a browser Full guide on how to win AI search in the first comment

Reminder the African guy in this speaks fluent English, Chinese, French and his local language. He is an example of someone of higher IQ born into a society of absolute morons and corruption. Naturally he wants to defend his country but he knows deep down its all fucked and he has the IQ to understand that.

insane take from Gemini 4 Argon

“Women - and this is backed up by study after study - are now the ones who want families less than men. They are the ones who are more avoidant when it comes to relationships. It's one of the major reasons my work is so much different than it was a decade ago; men are at a disadvantage if they date with intention today because the fact that you want something serious automatically makes a woman feel like she has more leverage than you.” The irony is they don’t see that as off-putting or asking to be taken advantage off when they are doing it themselves.
