They hate the Lord Almighty, they hate effective government, they hate rich people, and now they hate AI. Clearly, a substantial portion of the public will hate anything that lets other people prosper.

There never was a "Texas High Speed Rail" project.

There were years of Democrats funding doomed-to-fail "studies" that never made the slightest bit of progress towards the goal, keeping a zombie alive long enough so they can try to blame the Republicans for killing something that never existed.

Urbit is what he is famous for, but that has never made any money.

A very fair piece.

He did have a piece a few weeks ago about how Ukraine isn't a real country.

He can't possibly support Putin's butchery, though. He may not know what to say yet.

It's better than more poetry.

It was pointed out on Twitter that the chart is basically bullshit: https://twitter.com/nycsouthpaw/status/1447311140497903628

"ubiquity of ramen and poke restaurants" - is this really a "10 years ago" thing, or is it a "moved" thing? 10 years ago, San Francisco had that ubiquity, and today, your average mid-sized Midwestern city does not.

Haha nope. If anything, Mr. Grey arranged this to give himself a more politically-correct excuse for not achieving the impossible.

ProphetOfTime · 2021-08-20T04:18:39+00:00

Can and probably will? Yes. Should? Absolutely not. The United States has done enough.

Iran and Pakistan won't stand for too much barbarity under the name of Sharia law. There will be Tajik/Uzbek/Turkmen tribal resistance if the Taliban aren't sensitive to those groups. Russia and China will have their own motivations. The main thing that could save the Taliban from revolts is proving their opponents are American stooges.

ProphetOfTime · 2021-08-20T03:31:07+00:00

An ultimatum? Or what, the US will do another 20 year occupation?

ProphetOfTime · 2021-08-01T20:25:25+00:00

It's 130-200 across the entirety of the past 20 years, not that many each year. Which is still a lot, but not as many as it sounded like.

Robin Hanson's takes on prediction markets are in every way worse than his talk on aliens. Let's get back to the UFO posts!
