I'm living proof that being right doesn't make you popular. Or rich. I guess that's an indictment of the culture. A free market would fix this if we had one. Joined December 2024

The USA urgently needs to get the government out of the economy. The bureaucrats who manage the economy are all Leftists, with degrees from Leftist universities, implementing Leftist theories. They are killing us!

Sometimes I think Trump is pretty bad, but then I look at the UK and Europe and see people getting arrested for memes, and I think, under Harris, that would have been the USA, too.

Two separate issues: Citizens should be allowed to burn flags; it's free speech. But foreigners shouldn't be allowed to come here and claim "rights" if they intend to deprive us of those same rights. How to you determine what they intend? Their actions and their speech.

When people endorse self-sacrifice as the pinnacle of morality, why should we be surprised to see their whole civilization sacrificing itself?

Due to the Cantillon effect, "making money" and "being productive" have almost completely decoupled.

Most of the economy is a scam now. You almost can't make money by being productive; most people make money by scamming. There is little worth buying, either. Mostly if you try to buy something, you get scammed. This has to end -- and it will, one way or another.

Hey @xai, the API already has 'tool use' capability, but what do you think of adding 'tool use' to the user interface in X or on grok.com? The user would have to provide 'tools' for Grok to use by providing HTTPS URLs and credentials for those tools, and the tools…

We need a free market in labor. Free markets clear. Prices would tend toward what people are worth; any disparities would create arbitrage opportunities. But many people don't like what prices are telling them. So they impose price controls, which create unemployment.

I'll admit I like anime. One thing I like about it is that it has the pursuit of excellence as a recurring theme. But I've found in my real-life career that people don't pursue excellence. They pursue mediocrity and replaceability. They hate excellence.
