it’s kinda funny to see how many are asking… “how could rich new yorkers vote for a socialist?! what do they gain?” this is pretty simple stuff. you have to understand, for almost all of these individuals, life has long since escaped the realm of basic needs (what does a trust

this is what it looks like when a product outlives its cultural utility. when the narrative breaks hardcore like this, even god would have a tough time fixing it.

just to illustrate what it means to be a modern builder… i have seven tabs open right now, all generating code. i’m waiting, & posting this while it’s all happening on. latency is the new bottleneck. waiting feels like the new debugging. tabs feel like the new team.

people ask how i stay attuned to what tech actually does… the emotions it triggers, the ways it shapes lives, the subtle effects or unexpected magici it delivers. the answer’s simple. i read. not whitepapers. not founder threads. this. stuff like this. posts like this are where

build. feel. tweak. feel. adjust. feel again. then ship. no dumb roadmaps, just rhythm.

my favorite reaction to this is: “well let’s just fix it.” lol. it’s not fixable. the problem isn’t low birthrates, it’s that the forces driving them are self reinforcing. economic uncertainty, cultural nihilism, hyperindividualism, & infinite digital dopamine loops. all

yesterday i was at this small event & someone goes, “oh, you’re like… a writer online?” & i was like… damn, i got boxed. for me, writing was always a means, never the end. i’m a technologist who likes writing. the next evolution of expression for me isn’t just more words,

trump’s realtime cognition is like a bloodsport comedian. there is zero lag. his ability to read the moment, improvise, & hit the exact nerve whether political, emotional, or memetic is basically unrivaled. he’s not just in the culture, he is the culture. everything else

this is a high tier psyop from sam. he’s talking directly to the market. by floating a number like $100m: - he sets an anchor so absurd that anything meta offers now feels cheap. - he forces meta to either deny or match, both of which hurt them. - he gives his own employees a

when you drink booze you borrow presence from the future & repay it in fatigue, anxiety, & regret.

my favorite thing about america is how someone totally unknown can suddenly shift the culture. a new voice on x. a sudden surprise political candidate. a nobody who becomes the somebody. this country renews itself like no other. overtime it feels like it is running less & less

if you put your mind to it, virtually anything can be a psyop.

chris cox is probably one of the most incredibly amazing product ppl ever. this is how i think about it. openai has to walk a tightrope trying to win both sides of the market with both work/productivity & emotional/companion use cases. & this might be a potential trap for
